So do you just put the separate ZIPs in the same folder, or do you add the individual files from the Puck-Man ZIP into the Pac-Man ZIP? I'd appreciate that, thanks!

I take the individual files from puckman, and put them in the same folder with the pac-man ones. I select all the files inside the pac-man folder>right click>7z>add to archive...

I pick the 'store and zip' options in 7-zip, but you can even choose ULTRA, and it would work (I tried it with sf2ce).

I have 314 mb. It's like 7/8 sequences lol also that's why you should copy and paste your whole hakchi folder and only make changes and tests in 1 of them. All folder assignments etc still saved in other copied hakchi. All sitting waiting just to be resynced!

Brilliant! *sips on guinness*. But I can't believe I didn't realize that I could just copy it, and save my work (folder assignments). lmfao!

How do you add MAME ROMs when there are parent and child ROMs? For example, I want to add Pac-Man (US), but in order to so, I have to include parent ROM Puck-Man (Japan). Another one is adding Gradius (US), but I have to include parent ROM Nemesis.

Do I add the child ROM as an archive into Hakchi, and include the parent ROM in the same game folder, or is there another way?

Gradius worked without doing anything with a parent rom. Here it is:

I tried OOT, which seemed to run just fine, but I couldn't get the cartridge save to work. Anyone know how to make the game saves?

No luck so far getting any battery backup saves in Majora's Mask. A lot of unexpected crashes unfortunately

It is great to see though, with Cluster's analog fix, a big step forward in playability with N64 today!!!

Your Mame support files GitHub is awesome. Question for you. Are all the ROM files that are in there ready to go and are working with the NES classic? Your Pac-Man example in the "Read Me" file says to just pull the Zip file into Hatch and import as archive.

Are all the Roms listed there (the ones listed Asteroid - Vanguard) ready to be "pulled into Hakchi?"

Thanks for putting those in there by the way.

Adding the core and some Mame games is next on my list.

The ones i want to add are:
sf1
sf2ce
final fight
pac-man
golden axe

Yep, the ones in the roms folder are all the ones on my mini in fact. They are ready to be used right away.

Awesome. I will give it a shot and let you know how I made out.

Thanks again.

Lol yeah it makes things way easier. Lately I been trying to fit 2 metal slug games on. I had just number 2 now I'm trying to get number 1 on too in the same folder. But the hoe won't sync so I don't think I can haha

How many Mame games are you putting into a folder?

Yeah it's a known bug, hopefully it's fixable in a future update

Awesome, thanks so much! Great job with all those ROMs. I've been swapping out all the arcade ports that are part of the Original 30 (Donkey Kong + Jr, Mario Bros, Bubble Bobble, Double Dragon 2, Ghosts n Goblins, Pac-Man, and Galaga) with the actual arcade versions. Plus some others that I had added, like Salamander (Life Force), Gun.Smoke, Knights of the Round, Ms. Pac-Man.

Not sure if this is right place for it, but does anyone know if it possible to use a generic wii classic controller with the NES Classic? I have a few generic's and they just don't function. Wasn't sure if this was a software thing that might be able to be fixed via hakchi with an hmod of some sort or if it is a hardware issue in the controller.. Thanks!

Third party or generic wii controllers do not work. Must be official Nintendo brand to work.
I got a MyArcade Wireless Gamepad Pro (has 4 buttons and shoulder buttons) and it works seamlessly.

How many Mame games are you putting into a folder?

Mostly just the 'golden age' coin-op games (1980-1985). And a few that I like after that, like sf2ce, mk, etc.

If you know of some others that you like, I can throw them in also. It is fun to try 'new' games that others enjoy.

Thanks! I might have to give that MyArcade controller a shot. How is the feel of the controller & buttons? Pretty decent to play with?

Sorry, I meant how many games are you putting into folders on the Classic? Have you found a max amount of games you can put into one folder in the GUI?

With some of my mame games, I actually had to unzip them, and them rezip them for the hackchi folder to accept them. I have no idea why, but it worked for a few of my mame games.

Quite a nice collection. Gyruss, I knew a guy who owned an arcade cabinet of that. I loved playing that!

Max filesize for a folder is 30mb. Anything over that and hackchi won't even let you sync.

I once crammed a bunch of misc roms into the retroarch folder, when I was a newbie, but now I do it the 'proper way' and run shortcuts with command lines (saves space that way also). Killer instinct won't fit, lol, I know that much.

Oh, maybe you are asking how many you could fit number wise in a folder (let's say if they were all really tiny and not over 30 mb total). Good question. Probably no limit. Might be worth experimenting with. Time to cram 1000 tiny roms into a folder. rofl.

That is not true. It is really hit and miss, but I have been using a Power A Wii classic style controller and works great on SNES Genesis and NES games. The analog does not work in game, but does on menus. L1 + R1 do work though.
