It's been a while since we've seen a release from Alexey 'Cluster' Avdyukhin, and this new version of hakchi2 is surely not going to disappoint. The release number is v.2.20, and it adds SNES Classic support (!!!), 7zip compression support, among other huge things. Many GBAtemp users have seen massive success with this new release, and as much as I'd like to try it, I don't have an SNES Classic, so it's up to you to try it out.

You didn't click on this?

That option is supposed to be selected.

Yes, I did but it doesn't change anything even after saving settings to SNESC and getting the Done! dialogue box.

Can anyone help me with this issue?
(Am I doing something wrong? Missing a step?)

I'm trying to add RetroArch to my NES Classic. (Not Super NES Classic)

Look at the used memory and total memory, and the error on the screenshot. Shit isn't adding up or making sense. I'm using the latest hakchi v2.20, the latest retroarch cores v0.8 for hakchi 2.20, and this fucking app wont install it right.

I'll start with the console completely at stock, modules uninstalled, stock kernel, original games, factory reset, etc....

Then I'll flash the custom kernel.
All is still good after the flash.
I can add NES games just fine, and no issues...
But when I try to install the latest Retroarch cores in the modules menu, I get this bullshit. Help?

Holy fuck, this is unlike anything I've ever seen before. You could try redumping your NAND. If that doesn't work, file an issue with Cluster.

Solved. It only works if you copy (synchronise) the games again.

Wait you have final fantasy VI but the system comes with III which was 6 am I right or wrong. AFAIK III for snes was 6 in Japan. Or is 3 actually 3 idk haven't played it on my classic yet to find out

Yes, FF3 (SNES) is FF6.

 

[Waveracer]

out

Yeah, it's confusing. IV was II in US, V was Japan-only (weird) and VI was III in US. So it's like:

first SNES game IV/II
second SNES game V
third SNES game VI/III.

Does anybody know how to solve the sound glitch on Terranigma (without Retroarch)? Is it possible?

Oh that, I added the uncensored version to the list, sorry for the confusion.

 

[Waveracer]

Now I get a C8 error when I shut down the system. Probably, there is a limit for games on the same folder or on root (because of the RAM). I have 76 games including the original ones.

I wouldn't go more than 60 or so per folder, or so I've been told. Try to make another folder.

Does hakchi2 v2.20 have SNES Classic save management? I haven't tried it yet.

Yes it does.

 

[Home_Rowed]

Hey, is there a way I could get the 4 weeks of Zelda AST to use the same save slots via hakchi? Maybe one of the command line augments or something.

Hi all,
first i want to thanks Cluster for the work done.
Second i need help for some problem. I have the Snes mini and using nes game with the Retroarch mode i can play the game but i'm not able to go back to the main menu and i have to restart the console. That means that i cannot use the save points.
The second thing is that i tryed a bunch of snes roms and the only one that is not starting at the moment is dragonball hyper dimension.
Can you help me with this 2 problems please?
Thanks!

Try to get the new Hakchi 2.20.15 version and use 0.8 Retroarch with core. The new 0.9 retroarch seem to have issue emulate with snes game.(Issue: Black screen then reset to main menu). For in game reset for SNES game or nes game, you need to ensure that use button combination to reset is enable in controller hack (Setting). Then click on the select reset button combination in controller hack to bring up a controller interface. Tick the combination button you want it to reset. Usually people tend to use Down+Select. Hope it help.

Flipping the small boxarts 90 degrees allows you to add a load more titles onto the main page for those folks that don't like subfolders:

Only thing is you have to redo it all if you add more games, would be a nice hack to add to the software. Also someone fixed the "remove thumbnails" lagging as well:

great idea! but how can you flip the boxarts in hakchi? and what's the maximum of titles that will fit on the main page? thanks!

@MrJason005: But the RPi thing takes >3 minutes to boot up, ~2 minutes to shut down, doesn't even have a power or reset button, the configuration is done using old MS-DOS style text screen menus, roms have to be transferred via ftp (!), because Windows cannot directly access the thing, and none of the themes that come with it look as nice and easy-to-use as the SNES Mini user interface (save states with thumbnails are not even supported).

No thanks. To each his/her own I guess.
