Unofficial Hakchi2/Manual Hacking Thread

[PPlays]

You mean the most recent build? Let me know how it fares

Everything flashed back just fine . I believe this is definitely a superior version to the BRAC one now. It has two player support from what I can see and also folder support. Also all I had to do was drag and drop my zipped roms and they were added without issue.

Sweet! I heard the folder glitch (as stated by @Liriel in the other thread) was recently fixed, I'll wait for the next version I think though once it's compiled, I'll ask someone via PM.

From what I can tell all that's left is to fix some things with available space on the system for roms and maybe rom compression itself. Oh and this build keeps the original 21 games like you wanted.

Dang, then it shouldn't be too far off methinks.

Actually scratch that. Now zipped files give me the C7 error. Also the download all box art option is missing. So the main plus is you don't have to convert your files to sfrom.

Ugh, I guess we need to wait till the complete version is out.

Yup. This new version is the easiest to use yet though.

What if the ROMs I have are already in their folders with the cover art, zipped, etc (I have the original 21 that I got from a guide that no longer has them included, and 8 others I want to add). Can I still use
this elusive build, and I assume it dumps and flashes just fine? Too bad there's no link for the download though, can I ask for it via PM? IDK XD Sorry for the questions, just making sure this RC build is okay to use, don't want to end up bricking.

With the latest build you could probably manually put them into hackchi but that's not necessary. All you need are the unzipped games to add. The original 21 come with the newest build. It dumps and flashes just fine.

Seems like new builds are rolling out regularly now. I think I've done enough tinkering for myself until the official build comes out today or tomorrow.

Does the newest version work well with NAND dumping and all that jazz? I.e. are the folders or compression broken?

No idea, I don't have any plans to download all these new builds that come out. Just gonna wait for Cluster's completed version.

Fair enough, I'll wait till that and/or for someone to test it.

Pretty sure he said today or tomorrow. I'll be working tomorrow so I've got no reason to keep trying these unnofficial ones that come out

Yeah, also the time zone is quite far ahead of Eastern Standard Time or where live, Mountain Standard, so yeah, so close though, I can't wait

Give the R2 or BRAC one a shot. As long as you're kernal is dumped you're safe.

Failing that, there are ways of getting the kernel from another source, hopefully I don't have to do that, and contrary to what was said, the latest RC doesn't come with the original 21 games, sadly. At least, none that I can see, oh well XD I do have a backup of those I found elsewhere, since there's no tutorial on dumping the 21 games anywhere to be found.

Erm...whut?

Hakchi has never 'come with' any games. What was meant is that it allows the stock 21 games to appear in the console game picklist without having to duplicate the ROMs yourself and waste storage.

Wait, so I don't need to include the 21 games in the "games" folder? That whatever games I add will still show up with the ones preinstalled? I guess that changed or something. Huh. I knew previously in the BRAC build, you had to include them when you synced with the Snes Classic NAND. Well, that makes it a helluva lot easier.
