If you're following this guide, or through these forum posts trying to do this yourself, You need to add a new header and footer to the ROM(s) before you can convert them to a .sfrom format using the python script.
Ignore me right now I'm half asleep.

Seems like the Earthbound game image is diffferent than the others. It uses the following dimensions:

main = 228 x 186, 8-bit RGB, non-interlaced
small = 40 x 32, 8-bit RGB, non-interlaced

Many thanks to Rev2k7!!!

Funny that I've not edited the headers at all and have converted a bunch using the script

Sorry I'm fighting to remain conscious right now, I should have gone to sleep many hours ago lol
None of my roms are working, all say corrupted. I even tried a new source, same results. Someone suggested the headers (They have none) and I got to thinking you need to add them, but that is what the script does lol

Do you get to the main menu at all to load the UI? What specifically tells you they are "corrupted?"

- Edit the file "b0000_defines" in /var/lib/hakchi/rootfs/etc/preinit.d/
Warning, after edit the file, you "lose" the original way to games on snes mini, restore the original b0000_defines for recup your original games or just edit line gamepath=

- Turn off your snes mini
- Turn on your snes mini (^^)
- Enjoy

If you have a black screen after method, no problem just flash your kernel with original dump.
If you have à black screen after install new games, just check the file CLV-P-XXXXX.desktop of your new game...
Saves and preview of games don't works...

Good game ^^

Dont you need to back orginal 21 games from
Usr/share/games
To
/var/lib/hakchi/rootfs/usr/share/games
Otherwise after edit yoid just have your new one game in menu which sure will freak people out

Anyone else finding that the .desktop files don't support certain characters in the game title?

so far the lowercase "z" and any number other than "2" doesn't show up

I've had to name Soul Blazer as Soul BlaZer to have it show up

This is the same issue that occurred with the NES and the "title.fnt". None of the installed games make use of the letter Z or any number other than 2. Simple fix.

 

[Rev2k7]

try using my compile it has the font fix from cluster.

Are you just turning it on or holding down reset method.

 

[Kasios]

I am very sorry if it has already been answered before. Does anyone know how to convert roms to SFROM format? I know there is a TYPHON SCRIPT but I do not know how to make it work. Any ideas?. Thank you.

 

[NOXIGENE]

Are you just turning it on or holding down reset method.

I try first with the reset button and in second time without.
After install custom i have a usb problem detected by my os. I retry with an other port and i reinstall the driver. But same result when i try to re synchronize.
