Official hakchi2 - NES Mini very simple pimp tool

Does the /var/lib/hakchi/firmware update actually replace the rootfs squashfs file on the NAND-B, or is it a temporary thing while the file resides in the folder?

FWIW, I'm looking to permanently update my SNESCE from firmware 2.0.7 to 2.0.14.

Made this one to show how to use retroarch as the default emulator for SNES games. THIS is how you play those games that will not work. Hope it helps!

And what would that benefit?

what strange is here is we are on a forum to help,and when someone ask how they did get street fighter alpha 2 working,no answer,very strange.
i already change via ctrl-alt-e the preset id to 1065,garbled graphics,or do you change the id in command line?
got it working in retroarch.

The preset id setting to 1065 is for Super Street Fighter 2, not Alpha 2. I am unaware what type of magic caused alpha 2 to work. I'd love to be enlightened as it is the last one on my list of games that I want on the system.

I'm assuming newer is better...
USA FW 2.0.7 => Canoe-SHVC 2.2.0426.0
USA FW 2.0.14 => Canoe-SHVC 2.3.0531.0

Additionally there was a newer MALI video drivers in FW's 2.0.13 and 2.0.14.

Again assuming here, but if Nintendo engineers didn't need to fix any issues, I wonder why they would go through the trouble of releasing new builds.

I haven't heard of anything, I doubt it'd run games better. Beware of the risk you're taking with NAND dumps.

I believe someone on Reddit stated it was ripped from the Wii U VC, which didn't emulate the S-DD1 at all, but merely had all the compressed/decompressed files with it. There is an IPS patch for the ROM somewhere, I'll need to find it.

Curious question that would probably best be asked to Cluster himself but is there any possibility of dual booting the NES and SNES Classic OS and set of games on the same console. I am aware that you can use Retroarch (and we might actually need to have a separate forum for purist that want to use just Nintendo's emulation software) but I'd love to have one console that can boot both systems.

It's temporary - remove the hsqs file and it will boot into the onboard flash.

You probably have too many games per folder.

I put 99 games and selected no custom folders and set the quantity to 100.

Does anyone have a decent cover art set pre made? If not i might have to have a look at converting my hyperspin ones or something...

**UPDATE 10-9-17** (As promised, gonna do my best to get v2.5 (If you do not know what v2.5 is, or have never even heard of v1, feel free to message me posted before I go to sleep tonight. It will include very limited Sega CD Support, as in just a few games for you all to play with. And, it will be deemed WIP BETA v2.5! This means, probably by next weekend, I will repost with an Updated v.2.5 that should be of more Official Proportions, as in 95 percent Sega CD, Full & Ripped, and several other things I am finishing up, that I will not include in this WIP Beta v2.5. Obviously, I do not want to keep everyone waiting. So, this is the best thing I could do to appease you all My previous Sega CD Set has been "destroyed", as I have made it infinitely better, and all games are drastically reduced in size with the work I have been doing with each and every one of them! You will have ability to run over 50+ additional ones that would have never worked with the "previous" compression I have used. This is gonna be awesome for you all! So, Hoping, without further ado, I can get it posted tonight, in WIP BETA format. Then, I can do some Updates, Fixes, etc, and do the real deal next weekend! Thanks Guys & Gals!

Thanks for your awesome pack & work! One question regarding prboom: how do i used it? I installed this mod, then from the info:

The following image is required for this core to work properly:
prboom.wad

Available executables and arguments:
- /bin/wad <rom> <clover_args>

So I installed prboom.wad and doom.wad
Both did not start?!

How does one go about getting update access to the ROM Compatibility List spreadsheet on Google Docs?

 

[PPlays]

I put 99 games and selected no custom folders and set the quantity to 100.

I've heard anything over 60 is too much. Even on the main screen with no folders.

I think info for the game Out Of This World needs to be changed on the compatibility list.
This is the current listing:
367 Out of This World Game Region: US Status: Working Compressed: Yes
However, I've checked the same game on the SNESC using Canoe against SNES9X v1.53 (Windows) and the actual game on an original SNES and I can tell you that when playing it on the Canoe emulator there is some missing sounds, most notably most of the music that plays during the intro cut scene. Besides that the game seems to run fine.

Thanks for checking this, was this a US rom?
Anybody else experienced this?

Yes, it is a US rom.

Sorry if it was already been answered but who much ram is available on nes/snes classic for extra roms and saves?

After installing Doom Wad as a source file, you need to go into that directory and copy the prboom.wad into the folder, as it is a dependency to run it...

Video of this in action...

OK so have about 8 games and getting c8 error. Will want to remove some games and add some games and have a folder. Do you have to go back to stock kernel then reflash hakchi?

Do get rid of c8 error you either have a page or folder?
