Official hakchi2 - NES Mini very simple pimp tool

[DR1001]

I got it down to 319 Mb, intact videos and music, compressed! I am doing this overhaul to the entire Sega CD Set, and should be done by the end of the week. Over 95 percent of the Sega CD games are viable for use on the Mini NES! Feel free to private message if you have any questions

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

UPDATE 10-3-17 (Next on my agenda throughout this week will be to put together a video showcasing two specific things. One will be running 7zipped Arcade Games! The other will be how to add multiples of the same game! I am also overhauling the entire Sega-CD Set (for those of you aware of v2.5!). I am currently working on to have 2 versions of each respective game. One will be intact with full audio & video. The other will be ripped of unnecessary audio, where applicable. Watch the Snatcher video, linked to in yesterday's update, to get a better feel for how things will be as an end result! And, be sure to try out the two Sega CD Demos also linked to! Currently, Digital Leisure does conversions for the great Dragon's Lair 1, 2, and Space Ace. I have legitimately purchased them on PS3, DVD, and wherever else I possibly could. I have always loved these games! Anyways, thanks so much for the appreciation and tuning into my daily thread! Keep checking back daily for my Updates and other general thoughts! Great things will come! I will make sure of it! When I am close to a revelation, modification wise, I push myself, even on little sleep...just so I can go to sleep knowing I achieved yet another cool as hell thing to share with you all! As always, feel free to ask anything and everything relative to NES Classic Modding via responses in this thread, or private message!

You will be able to run all of these in compressed form (gzip), using the default SNES Classic Emulator There may be a few unsupported mappers! But, we will still have RetroArch, in those instances!

How will we gzip them if they are in the format that TheWex1981 is showing in his pictured list? That's what mine look like right now as well. Thanks.

is there a tutorial how tho change the files an upload with ftp?

7-zip compressing to gzip format is actually considerably more efficient in terms of space usage than gzip at max compression.

Can't you double compress files with 7-zip ?

Not really, would be nice to see one as a placeholder though.

So.... Should i download Regular Roms? Anyone got Tips in order for me to grab the right files once this releases?

When cluster releases his new "hakchi" you will be able to dump any .smc, .sfc, .fig -File

What would happen if you tried using the SNES mini kernal on a NES mini?

Finally, we order SNES MINI from EUROPE.. We should receive it in America on October 10-13. Can't wait. And I am watching this page for new update too.

Try it and you will brick it or maybe it does nothing. Either way.

They will first need converted to the new format, then gzip compressed. Worry not, I got you all covered, if you need help

But aren't they the same hardware? If you use a different kernal entirely shouldn't it run fine?

 

[KMFDManic]

Mappers? This is SNES we are talking about not NES. But seriously it gives me hope now it is confirmed that Megaman X2 and X3 are supported.

Of course, you realize I am referring to chips, in the same way we refer to mappers

 

[spotanjo3]

Can't give you a false information. I was told that both are ALMOST IDENTICAL. And thats all I know. Maybe you should wait for the right answer from the developer.

I hope so. I am huge fan of MegaMan games.

Not in gzip format.

By popular request, the necessary NoIntro to SNESCE US IPS patches can be found here:

http://www.rendezvo.us/snes/snesce_us_flashpatches.zip

EDIT: And we now know that once applied, you wind up with the already-known VC versions, which used external audio samples as part of the ROM "footer". Nothing new here.

 

[Gaiaknight]

i didnt have a nes classic but i got a snes classic so excuse my ignorance but did games that had a fan translation work just fine.

 

[Baggins]

In my experience with NES mini the fan mods worked best with the non-Nintendo emulator cores.

 

[hoderer]

Sorry for that stupid question in advance, but I really don't know the answer (still figuring everything out): Is it possible to add more versions of a game, for example original game and a hack or not (because of the same header)?

Great news. I figured you would provide insight on this. Thanks in advance.

 

[Kasios]

Still no one has answered my question. I would like to know if the official console emulator will be able to run street fighter alpha 2. Thanks.

 

[PrincessLillie]

Seems like Cluster made some commits earlier this month. Get hype, but not too hype.

 

[Markus95]

Works perfectly for me ^^ (script python and FTP method)

DBZ 2 (EU) OK
Killer Instinct (US) OK
Turtles in time (EU) OK
Aladdin (EU) OK
