Official hakchi2 - NES Mini very simple pimp tool

[Spottedfeather]

Its sad Nintendo was sitting on a gold mine here.. and just discontinued it. Even for "modding" with basic emulators. This sucker was selling. Granted guess that would replace the need for VC titles on the switch unless they add online MP for retro games.

A lot of people are saying that it's because they're going to do an SNES Classic....

Where is the emulator for commodore 64 that works on Nes mini ???


Wishing that in version 2.16, include C64 emulators, Amiga 500, Atari st.

But as we know it will be impossible, I think we would all like to play Amstrad and Msx with a virtual keyboard, please !!!

or they could add a normal power source, instead of a active usb port to the nes classic .and sell them for christmas

I think this is the wrong place to request emulators for hakchi? You'd be better off putting these emu requests through on the retroarch message boards if these emulator cores don't already exist on retroarch (rather then hoping someone will port vice or any other c64 core just to work specifically for hakchi retroarch)?... I'd also love an amiga emu


I'm covered already for 8bit though as have a fully functioning Zx spectrum emulator on the nes mini.

Found a new version of hakchi2 - Release Candidate version 2.16 on a diff forum:

http://clusterrr.com/temp/hakchi2_v2.16_rc3.zip

This is what he states for changes:

far spread only here. Of the new (apart from minor fixes, and translations into other languages), all that you will see in the "Tools" menu:

• saves manager (export, import, delete)
  
  
• FTP server - for easy transfer of files, you can examine and edit system can sdampit games that come by default, you can edit the config files and so forth.
  
  
• Telnet server - well, this is for advanced users. In conjunction with the FTP allows you to easily create fashion and learn the system without the need to solder UART cable.

Hello guy !

Does this mean that we will be able to increase storage capacity by otg usb? Thank you. Rgs.

That would be a rational decision. I don't trust Nintendo to do anything rational right now that might cut into its Switch market share.

Hi, I installed newest retroarch and two games. Snes one is starting normally from menu and genesis one isn't - I need to launch it from retroarch manually. Is it suppose to be like that or can I fix it somehow? Those games are super mario world and streets of rage 2.

Maybe someone can help me here. I have managed to get all the arcade games I want to play to work....except one. I'm trying to play one of my favourites, Satan's Hollow. The original game wouldn't work. So I found a complete mame 0.78 rom set and got a couple more versions. One says shollow.zip and shollow2.zip.

Neither one of these seems to work, either. Any ideas ? I'll try them again to make sure, though.

Also, I've tried to play the TMNT arcade game, but it seems to only be 2 player, as only 2 players were listed in the retroarch control section. I THINK I've found a 4 player version. Hopefully, I'll be able to pick from any of the 4 turtles instead of just the one.....

When you try mame (arcade) games..most times there are more than one file that you have to zip together to play the game..and a bios is always needed as well..

how do I fix that ? every other arcade game, once I understood to get matching roms for the mame version, have just worked. I haven't messed with any bios. What bios do I need to make Satan's Hollow work ?

I've heard that mame2010 core should work for Satan's Hollow....but where do I get the mame2010 core ?

I've been looking everywhere for mame2010.hmod, but I can't find it anywhere. I've tried what I thought was mame2010, but it turned to be an entire program. I need the mame2010.hmod for hakchi.

Any ideas ?

2.16
This release introduces some extra tools:

• Save-State Manager. It will help you to transfer save-states from NES Mini to PC and vice-versa as well as delete unwanted save-states. Remember that save-states will be remained in the system ever after game is deleted, so this tool is very usefull to cleanup your NES Mini and free some space.
• FTP Server! It will be helpfull for advanced users, this tool allows to transfer any files from/to NES Mini using any FTP client. So you can easyly dump original games from NES Mini, edit some configs, etc. And it will help you to cleanup system. I'll update FAQ soon.
• Telnet Server. It provides access to NES Mini's command line interface. Basic Linux knowledge required.

Also there are some fixes and translations updates. There are some untranslated strings in French and Polish languages, I'll update them soon (waiting for translators).

Awesome! More great work @Cluster!

If I was current with hakchi 2.15 and the latest hmods, do I only need to update the program this time around? Or do I need to uninstall/install any hmods also?

I just copied usual folders over;
Games, config, dump, folder images, usermods without uninstalling/installing hmods and all worked without any problem.

You can emulate C64 using MESS core: https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/latest/mess2014_libretro.so.zip

No, NES Mini doesn't support OTG without hardware modification.

Not really..rumor has it that alot of retail employees in the stores bought them all when they first came in..and continued to do so..thats why you see a billion of them on ebay for sale at outrageous prices now that they can be modded..might have been a nintendo hype for the release of the nintendo switch..who knows..now thats its over..raspberry pi is gonna skyorocket..

@Cluster Is that really a core? It's just an .SO file

 

[pcm720]

@Cluster Is that really a core? It's just an .SO file

No hmod or maybe you uploaded the wrong file?

.so IS the core.
hmod is just a tar.gz archive that contains launch scripts and the .so file itself

 

[Cluster]

You should really have a different telnet program added to hakchi, so we can create directories to our online storage space for easy storage and usage(like an online usb)..different from the telnet you have now....if we wanted to upload any games that we want...any size...in a storage space online and play those files as long as we have the telnet window open when running hakchi...we can increase our storage space for the mini..
FTP is more for website forums or personal website data..

It just blows my mind. I can't understand anything you said.

 

[sromeroi]

what about filters/shaders in retroarch ? Are there any included ?

There are "simple" shaders (retroarch.glslp) with Select+Start -> Quick Menu -> Shaders -> Load Preset -> Pick "retroarch.glslp" -> Set the settings below to "scanlines.glsl", "Don't care", "Don't care" -> Apply.

If you are happy with it just "Save preset for this core" (or something like that).

But it's a very poor shader compared to retropie's

I would be happy just with "crt-pi.glslp" and "crt-pi-curvature.glslp" from RetroPie... but they didn't work in the mini (maybe because it's a different GPU) and I don't know how to "port" them (

If anyone manages to port them or make them work, *PLEASE* let me know

I think he wants to "download and run games on-demand" from a PC via the USB cable.

- PC with the "new tool" open and a folder structure with your gamesgames.
- NES mini able to "browse" the PC's folder structure.
- You select a game in the NES mini, then it's downloaded from the PC and launched.

(That's what I understood from his message).
