Thanks to @Cluster for all the work!!

One thing: I tried "The Mysterious Murasame Castle" (the japanese and the fan translated versions) and when I register a save game and then try to start it, it shows a C7 error, is possible to solve this error?

 

[PlaystationTV]

IT'S WORKING!!! "Down+Select = Reset" is working! New version will be soon.

nice, do we have to do anything ? or it will just work when you use the next update

I picked up one of these wireless controllers, it allows home screen reset by pushing select and start has great wireless range and no lag, and only $14.99. highly recommended!

Version 2.09: https://github.com/ClusterM/hakchi2/releases/tag/2.09

What's new:

• 'Can't repack ramdisk' error on some systems should be gone now.
• Device detection bug fixed (thanks to David Winter!)
• Automatic file attributes fix (e.g. "WinRAR" bug fixed).
• Game selection presets. Now you can create presets for favorite games, party games, etc. It's useful since NES Mini don't like huge amount of games at once.
• Search by first letters of game, just press Ctrl+F.
• Much better PNG compression for covers, x4 more disk space.
• NES carts database with release dates, publishers, etc. Just add game and all fields will be filled automatically if it exists in database.
• Automatic IPS patches. Now you don't need other application to patch problem games. Patch files stored in "patch" folder. Problem game will be detected automatically by CRC32 checksum. Release already contains patches for "Battletoads", "Robocop 3", "Snow Bros.", "Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure" and "Startropics II". You can add and your own patches too.
• Game Genie support. Just enter your codes (comma/spaces/semicolon separated) in special field and sync. Cheats will be activated automatically.
• Mapper #87 added to list of confirmed mappers.
• Epilepsy protection settings - you can disable epilepsy protection for original 30 games or for all games at once.
• Clovercon hack! Now you can exit to menu using "Down+Select" combination. All you need now is controller cable extension...
• Some interface improvements - you can delete games using del key, etc.
  
• Many minor bugfixes.

2. for the autofill database. all my games will automaticly updated with this data, or i have to re-add the games?

1. It's need to recompile driver to change combination. I can do it for you but can't add option to select combination.
2. Need to re-add. I thought to add autofill for already added games but I decided that it's excess functionality while you need this only once.

 

[NESCLASSIC]

@PlaystationTV I don't get this joke...was just recomending a highly reviewed alternative to 8bitdo for those looking for a wireless controller option for under $15

Can't wait to test out the new build thanks for everything you do Cluster!

 

[NeoRame]

Yes.


1. It's need to recompile driver to change combination. I can do it for you but can't add option to select combination.
2. Need to re-add. I thought to add autofill for already added games but I decided that it's excess functionality while you need this only once.

1. if you cant set a option, leave it i can live with that
2. oh, good to know.

one more question, the new png shrink happens by adding a new game or uploading to the mini?

Thanks for you and everybody for all their hard work.

I am the virtual machine option for MAC and I am at the point where I need to install the USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller; however it's greyed out? I also have the required extension pack. Any help or suggestions would be helpful.

In your virtual machine, did you try to right-click on usb and select open from host to activate usb in VM?

Where do right click? Everything is greyed out on the left?

 

[CalamityRaven]

Thanks!

It's all working for me, I tested a few game genie codes on Batman, reset shortcut is working perfectly, auto fill detected pretty much all my games (I'll forgive it for not finding Ys) and the auto-patcher sorted Startropics 2! Fantastic work Cluster

Right-click in your virtual machine usb port that one that is greyed out.
