Have you TV(remote TV control) a button to change the aspect ratio?

Rgs.
Tried streches the menus too much needs to be done via software aka Madmonkey or Cluster hopefully can add another icon / option under DISPLAY settings call it "REAL CRT 4:3" MODE or something of the likes

Hello Guys; do you know if by any chance in the future we will be able to play MAME Roms in the mini? like "Psycho Soldiers"; or maybe this is not possible.
Thanks

If you're talking about the archive I've posted on GBX.ru, yeah. 1942 was the random game I picked for my experiments.
You can replace the game ID in Hakchi2 mod_transfer init script, .desktop file and ./bin/retroarch-mini, and then all you have to do is to rename everything that has the game ID in the name.
Replace the string in config.ini, and it should work.

I hope Cluster will make this more user-friendly.

Thanks for your help. I was going crazy here.
Yeah you cant just add 1 game, it will overwrite all the others on there, so if you had 50 games on there and you wanted to add 1 more you would need to re-add all 51
I have a video on YT might clear it up a bit

Placing the SONY CRT 4:3 into a mode called "Enhanced 16:9" produces a cropped image still.. as shown here:

bb326f0ea9.jpg


basically a smaller box within my TV. in other words a 4:3 image inside a 4:3 screen LOL...No other options via TV can be configured to fix said issue where the NES Classic Edition doesn't properly look to be the correct aspect ratio on what these games were originally intended for A CRT!!! I also wonder if a NES Zapper would work if this is resolved... I'm thinking YES it would (with an adaptor). LCD's don't work with the original NES ZAPPER due to the way the CRT reacts functions in conjunction with a zapper. Although the zapper games are cool and all I can totally live without them more important to me is simply getting these to display properly on a Standard DEF CRT 4:3. Hopefully someone can at least configure the software properly to DISPLAY the image ratio correctly on a traditional CRT which is still boggling my mind. I know that for all intents and purposes Nintendo wanted to have an OLD system be compatible with newer TV's / technology. While NINTENDO certainly accomplished that, they didn't think about backwards compatibility which seems like it could be resolved with Madmonkey or Cluster performing a mod / software change. ... perhaps I'm a purist! Hopefully someone can figure it out, am I the only one in existence that wants to play this on a tradition 4:3 CRT Tv ? perhaps... lol

Hi. Yes I'm speaking about your post on GBX.ru Thanks for make tests and help to make a way less difficult to check lastest madmonkey advances!
I'm still busy recording, upload and publish many games running(sometimes not) on mini nes but maybe someone can test If cannot wait to easy way for do that. Madmonkey will make a completed integration on shell, and we can get via Cluster a best mini nes classic in sometime, the people must be patient.

@8bit4life Maybe this mode with Zoom options in TV(Remote TV control) can help you in the meanwhile.(I have many years ago a TV similar to you)

Thanks for this awesome tool.. Followed all directions worked great the first time,however I didn't realize it until after that you add more than the 85ish roms. I am just wondering what steps do I need to take in order to go back into nes classic and add even more without messing things up? Thanks in advance!

If someone figures out how to get the NES World Championships to work, I will be forever grateful.

I have been playing Zelda Outlands on my NES Classic Edition, and I am loving it.

I highly recommend it to fans of the original Legend of Zelda.

I did everything has said in instructions but got C6 error when launching retroarch, people say it cause they got too much games/folders and that they tried on fresh copy of hakchi and it worked?

Gambia, The
retroarch...nice, but why? this is NES Mini... why other consoles? and consoles like SNES need more buttons as the NES Controler give.

its nice for games like Batman and all the other games which doesn't work. but then, ....please with a direct start.

People got retroarch working now thanks to madmonkey intructions

https://www.reddit.com/r/nesclassic...tter_instructions_for_retroarch_on_the_nesce/

I might end up doing it soon doesn't look that hard.


I can't post on Reddit now since I don't have the password on me.
Just to be clear. Madmonkey has nothing to do with these instructions or this particular pack.
It was made by me using Madmonkey's RetroArch binary, and this is a quick and very dirty solution to get it working. Please wait for a more convenient solution from someone else.

i only could get retroarch to work by unchecking the original 30 and just added a few genesis and SNES roms. with the original 30 installed i always got the C6 error.

Yeah that's so weird, that's me btw on reddit haha. on GBX.ru the guy said to have around 100 games already on hakchi. Nothing about the original 30 but if your saying you had C6 error then all you did was uncheck orginal 30 then re synch and it worked then that might be problem somehow.
