i did a clean hakchi folder, copied the folders over but i only added the original 30 + RA see my video

Alright, I've set up a completely clean hakchi folder. The only thing I've copied over from the old one was my original kernel dump. I added RetroArch by merging the games and mods folder from the RetroArch release and updated the init file in \mods\mod_transfer\hakchi\ with the latest from GitHub using Notepad++. I only have 2 games in the RetroArch roms folder, totaling 1.5 MBs. RetroArch still kicks me back to the menu without launching.

Which FB cores had you? Same NES games that run ok after RA? Which are the name of RA roms?

If you're having problems with performance try the cores compiled for the Orange Pi or Banana Pi M2+ or Banana Pi M2 Ultra. They have a similar 4xCortex A7 CPU and Mali 400 MP2 GPU so they might work better than those generic builds.

The NES Classic should have no problem with Neo Geo emulation, or Gameboy Advance.

Follow my video, it will give full support back, not all the bells and whistles but ive added a better nes emulator and it all works fine

Rgs.

I'm only using the 5 default cores that come with it. NES games work perfectly fine as they did before trying RetroArch. I have Super Mario World.smc (SNES) and Sonic The Hedgehog 2.md (Genesis) in the roms folder.

So I heard people been losing save files in retroarch each time they sync games on nes mini ?

Of course. RetroArch folder gets rewritten everytime during synchronization.
If you want to keep your saves and savestates, find a directory you can write to (on NES Mini) and change directories for saves and savestates in RetroArch options. Do it at your own risk though.
Like I said, this is just a temporary solution, it's basically made of hacks to bypass Hakchi2's shortcut generation.
The main point of my pack is to keep NES Mini's NAND clean, that's why everything is contained in one game directory and gets removed every time.

I successfully compiled fbgrab which allows to take any screenshots directly from framebuffer!

So it will be easy to make RetroArch "transparently" for user. It will be working just like original emulator.

You are an absolute wizard!

Yes, I will work just like original emulator.

I'm not sure about other consoles. I'm targeting on NES now.

Excellent progress. This is very exciting. My desire would be to see this thing also run SNES and GB games in the same manner, with save states and all. I personally would keep it a Nintendo-only machine because there are controllers that can accurately mimic the original button layouts (Classic controller for NES and GB, and Wii Classic and Wii Club SFC controller for SNES). In theory I like the idea of having other system compatibility (Sega, Atari, etc.) as well, but it's not for me because I would never play Sega games with a non-Sega controller. Again, just my preference.

I apologize ahead of time if this has been asked, but can you use a Mac to install this or is only windows?

I've heared somebodies used a windows emulator on mac and it worked.

ah I see, guess I will keep games i have and stuff currently till your or cluster release next updates that can either allow hold more games so I can put rest of what I really want on there and never have bother doing it again or either till there update where save states are safe after sync again

From hakchi2 2.07 to 2.11... I can be a little coincidence, but did you extract hakchi2.zip with winrar? If Yes, use 7Zip.

I've used 7-zip and the default .zip extractor built in to Windows, makes no difference in my situation.

 

[nesito]

I recomend in your case use hakchi2_debug.zip and send bugreport to Cluster.
But until this, what is the size of your kernel.img?

Rgs.

 

[OpTIMusPrimeNeo]

I scaned my PC for viruses but have not found anything. Can you say which file in archive is detected as malvare? Archive including many tools like upx, lzop, mkbootimg, etc. Actually my tool just executing other tools in right order.

Think my NES mini is bricked. Can you help me?

Did you try to flash again your original kernel dump?

2760 KB is what Windows is telling me.

Will flashing original kernel and restoring factory defaults clear out everything relating to hakchi? I want to try starting completely fresh using 2.11, but can't use the uninstall function.

 

[nesito]

2760 KB is what Windows is telling me.

Same size than me... If you flash this dumped kernel, does the mini work? About your question I think yes it'll clean.

It comes on but as soon as I start a game, it goes blank then I get that error screen
