The advice was not to uninstall and reinstall hakchi from your PC. The advice was to use the uninstall function within hakchi to uninstall the modification from your SNES. If you only flash the backup kernel the hakchi folder will still be present on your SNES and once you reinstall the custom kernel it will find that (screwed up?) folder again.

First, Hi everyone 
Still holding myself back using hakchi2.. Got 2 questions.
1. What do i have to consider when i want to play terranigma EU (german version)? Do i have to patch the rom first?
I know i have to use the retroarch mod since the internal emulator is not able to play the game without problems
2. Are there any cons using retroarch? Like, are graphics / game speed the same? Can i use borders? Is there a rewind
function? etc.
Sorry if these questions have been asked before, researched myself but wasnt able to answer these questions myself.

I did a thing:
here's a mod for hakchi2 to select these borders in retroarch.
There are, however, a few caveats:
- The file does not contain any copyrighted (?) material. The images are on the SNES Classic and the config files simply point to the images already on the system. Subsequently, you will not be able to use these on an NES Classic mini (unless you get ahold of the images and drop them in the appropriate folder)
- At the moment I did not bother to create configuration files for "pixel perfect" mode. Only configs for 4:3 are included. - Pixel Perfect configs have been included.
- "Ambient" borders (i.e. borders changing colors) are included but will not change color because retroarch does not seem to have such a feature.
- I did not find a way to make retroarch apply the correct screen dimensions automatically. So you'll have to manually adjust your video settings. Bring up the retroarch menu (start+select) and go to settings -> video. In here, make the following changes (see screenshot):
- Miniature pictures for the savestates will look broken:
To select the border, bring up the retroarch menu, go to "Settings -> Onscreen Display -> Onscreen Overlay -> Overlay Preset" and select whichever border you like. You can change the Overlay Opacity to whatever you like, I recommend 1.00, though.
Make sure the following settings are set, though:

No worries bud, I hope it gets things fixed for you.Oh right. I understand that. Nope I didn't realise that. I'll do that now
Surprise, it seems to. I now have FTP access back and a green circle back in Hakchi.
Many thanks to you both PP and Kalle
Is it just me or are more and more games reportedly having problems on Canoe?
Donkey Kong Country games having audio problems, Waterworld also having audio problems, now Super Star Wars is having issues as well. Almost seems like Canoe isn't that great at emulating games outside the stock ones unless something's up with hakchi.

Longtime lurker. Thanks for all your hard work, Cluster, and everyone else involved.
Still getting a sporadic C8 error on shutdown with 60 games. I finally split them into pages, 30 games each, and it hasn't happened since. I prefer being able to scroll through all at once, but I'll keep it that way for now. I wonder what the magic number is that keeps that from happening when the games are all on the main page. I know someone said 61 or higher, but it seems it might be even less. But, like I said, folders/pages seem to fix it.

I want to say 40.

Sounds like it. Stay away from FTP! lol
You're awesome man. I have one question/request. Can we make our own borders, and can that border be a game boy screen like the super Gameboy uses?
Nice!
Now all we need is a scanlines-like effect similar to what the SNES classic does in it's internal emulator and it will be almost indistinguishable.
Um. I think you have to go to the quick menu and go to the shader option and load it from there.
Unfortunately all the ones I click on look like arse.
AFAIK retroarch has shaders available that include a crt scanline effect.
No. I can not, I do not know how the UI generates these images.
Since this is a built in feature of retroarch: yes. Anyone can create overlay images and add them to their system. Look up "retroarch border overlay" on Google.
My guess is it shrinks the game being rendered into the corner and then takes a mini screenshot of that shrunken area.
Hence why you only see the bit of the corner. Because the overlay is rendered over the game.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
