Official hakchi2 - NES Mini very simple pimp tool

[maande80]

I finally managed to install more than 200 NES roms with 2.12, and some from SNES, GB & GBC. I still have some questions though:

1) Is the "keeping max 30 games in one folder for the sake of suspend points" requirement still applicable on this 2.12?

2) I'm putting my NES games in Main Menu > NES > 0-A, B-C, D-F, and so on, but strangely some roms (Balloon Fight, Bobble Bubble, Mario Bros, Mega Man 2, Metroid, Ninja gaiden) are located at the root. How come?

3) Non NES roms are added, but when I try to select them, I keep returning to main menu. Why's this happening (I'm still using everything from Cluster)?

Thanks in advance.

If it's not working it's either broken or unofficial.

I'm sure it wasn't broken cause I can use it on my wifi

Does it have Wii printed on it or is it blank?

Hmmm might be some third party ones

Just like to say a big thanks to cluster and mad monkey. The latest revision of retroarch is fantastic. I wasn't interested in playing any other console games. The option to have nestopia as the default emulator is fantastic.

Ive added --retroarch to every Pal/Eur exclusive game ive installed and all the ones I've checked look to be the correct aspect ratio and speed. Whereas the fcu.... whatever its called core left the games running too fast with graphical issues.

DesmondH2O It's a clone.

32x picodrive, I think, is coming, @NeoRame can you put "a image" on https://github.com/ClusterM/hakchi2/tree/master/images ?

By the way.....I don't know how to link "this image" to extension 32x.

Oh crap, no way it would work on the console?

 

[CalamityRaven]

The driver is open source. If someone figures out why they aren't working (Maybe an I2C bus addressing issue?) and patches in support, they could work. But for now, no. It's not a Hakchi2 or retroarch thing, they just don't work with the console at all,

what advantage does nestopia offer over the default NES emulator?

*** The game that contains the pixelart MUST BE PLAYED AT LEAST ONCE for that corresponding sprite to show up in the screen saver. If the game has never been opened, the sprites within that folder will never be displayed. ***

You're right! Thank you!

If you are talking about the emulator that ships with the nes mini. It can play games with unsupported mappers and can play pal region games in the correct aspect ratio and speed. The default emulator plays them too fast.

I think CPS2 and save states don't work together. I disabled saves in cps2. Because doesn't work(like in N64 make the save, but cannot load again) and also takes many time to back from game to menu.

Rgs.

how do you disable saves ,I'd like to do this too

Folks, about neogeo games, do I need to go into the hakchi folder/games folder and find the game and add neogeo.zip BIOS to each game folder with a neogeo game ???

yes . unless there's a folder the neogeo core looks in when loading games then you could put it there.

I managed to get Sega Master System games to run, but they are in a smaller box and also cannot be saved. Help?

 

[youngtune27]

Thanks for the reply! Ok, so put the entire "retroarch-clover-0.3" folder into the hakchi: user_mods ... then add/copy/edit the bin files/cores?

No not the retro clover folder. There is a folder inside of that folder Called retroarchhdmod and that's the one you need. But I also haven't downloaded a different mod. Like you did. The new one you see released is not clusters it's pcms.

...

Edit you bin (maybe cps2) and at the end of core line add. --ra-nosaves

That's cause how you chose to separate the games. The games you are saying are in the original 30. Under settings in hakchi change it to custom folders every time.

Asterix and beauty of the beast dont work correct on the mini. I have tried nestopia, fcumm(name) and minis own emulator.
Asterix i have tried two different roms one regular and one [!]

Is there Anyone that can hint on a working rom for them? Or is it a lost cause?

I have one that looks just like that and it works fine. Cluster uses that one too.

 

[VirgileVILE]

Hmm tried the ! Version but still the same problem...

Does Anyone get Asterix for nes to work "flawless"?

Are you SURE it's nestopia and not fceumm? First time I tried to use nestopia, hakchi fooled me. To make sure : launch a PAL game with nes mini emulator, music will be a little faster because nes mini emulator is for NTSC system. After that, try the same game with retroarch. If music speed doesn't change, it's fceumm. If it sound different (slower) the PAL game run on nestopia at it normal speed.

 

[youngtune27]

I don't have the etc, cores or bin folders. Is that an issue or can I just create them myself?

Cause you didn't download the source file zip.
