Thx

Just added FDS support, version 2.05.
FDS BIOS not required, it's already present in NES Mini

This means that we have to flash custom kernel again? Or its just a "pc side" change?

Super Mario Bros 2 japan should now work without the mmc3 hack???

@Cluster
Does it support FC Mini?
Or NES Mini only?

If you mean the FDS, it's already in the Famicom.

If you mean if his hackchi2 works on the Famicom mini, a couple posters here have tried it and it works

 

[Chux]

So FDS support, what does this mean? Better sounding Zelda, or is this more of games that were different/only on FDS?

Actually you don't need to flash custom again. But after update app will not remember that you already flashed it. So I'm storing settings in "config.ini" now.
But you can flash custom again without any problems. Or just set "CustomFlashed" in config.ini to "true".
Yes, Super Mario Bros 2 will work And other .fds ROMs too.

It means that you can add .fds ROMs now.

Fair enough. Time to get to it.

Everyone with issues should try REINSTALLING THE DRIVER. Only one person tried it (successfully) after I fixed my own flashing issues 4 or 5 pages ago..

Wow! Great toll!

Found that post on the old page.
It has an issue on Famicom Mini Kernel Checksum and requires flashing it at your own risk.
It's no problem with experienced users but it will scare noobs.

Anyway, glad to see it can be worked on Famicom Mini because it's cheaper than NES Mini here.

Metroid works fine, has the synth music too.
What a wonderful few days this has been.

Tried this, even disabled driver signature checks on my laptop. Still no success.

I need somebody with LED bug and UART cable soldered to NES Mini. I need console output, maybe there is simple error while script executing.

I made a video explaining the problem of led with notes (see on PC so that they appear, on cell phones do not appear) please look at it, maybe it will help you to solve the problem, my English is not very good, thank you !!

My english it bad too as you can see.

Btw, feel free to send me reports about my engrish in hakchi2. I'm sure that there are many mistakes/typos in english version.

Here is the step by step video.. I hope someone finds this useful.

Again Great Job Cluster.

Hey it says failed to read from pipeline whenever I try to dump the kernel, it is in REL mode and I have tried 3 usb ports on my pc. What do I do?

I hope that I fixed it I have not idea why it's happening.

No problem, Ill wait for a more stable version. This is pretty new after all

But many of them are not working for some reason.

Neat! What are the chances of someone replacing "/usr/bin/clover-kachikachi" executable with an ARM build of the FCEU NES emulator?

Hey it says failed to read from pipeline whenever I try to dump the kernel, it is in REL mode and I have tried 3 usb ports on my pc. What do I do?

I was having same problems. Try unzipping hakchi2 freshly, ensure firewall/defender is off in System Control Panels. And make sure your not over-holding the reset button.. that was my problem all last night.. After each step Turn off Power, Unplug, repeat.... The software worked flawlessly when used in manor alike the above video. .... Also try one rom first!
