Official hakchi2 - NES Mini very simple pimp tool

Is there a way to Activate/deactivate different Backround layers in Canoe ?

 

[youngtune27]

this is what it looks like, when i go it to that folder on my snes it goes black screen and goes back to where the original games are, but if i install the games where the originals are they show up and work

So the folder has 28? Will it work if you make 2 folders. With 14 in each?

So I saw this now...
": Also you can install CloverApp-ForNES.zip / CloverApp-ForSNES.zip if you want to add RetroArch to menu."

That lead me to wonder... Since I own NES and SNES classic... can I install every mod to hakchi.. nes or snes and just use the 1 install with all the mods for them both or need I do separate folders?

Still wondering how the kernel backup works now, if it renames them differently depending on system?

The kernels are named different for each system in the dump folder

Also, the games folders are different too:

Games = NES games
Snes_games = SNES games

Games = NES games
Snes_games = SNES games

Umm.. about that, I added NES roms with 2.21d, synced them, then found out that they were inside "snes_games". I even added more roms (GB, GBC, GBA) and they were still inside "snes_games". My "games" folder is empty.

So is the anti-seizure protection in the ROMs or part of the Canoe emulator? Is it possible to load clean ROMs on and play in Canoe, or is retroarch required?

 

[ganons]

I've been trying for a few days at getting hsf2.zip to load in MAME2003, but it just won't work. Does anyone have any success with this? It's Hyper Street Fighter 2. Thanks for any help.

Hey man did you ever get it working?

I've tested Yoshi's Island injected from a clean rom and has same issues in World 1-7 than the stock game.

There is a post multiple pages back with a link to Reddit that explains what people are figuring out with the way Canoe and roms work.

Apparently the roms have patches on them that do a number of things such as epilepsy filters, possible sensors etc.

The problem is that these patches are hard coded into Canoe as well, and if it detects similar rom it attempts to patch the roms with various patches... No one has found a way to prevent this from happening.

Note: this also happened on the NES mini for a few games as well like it autopatches Zelda II roms to remove some of the epilepsy flashes from the death scene, and to remove the battery/save warning.

The problem with this autopatching though is it sometimes breaks the roms and then causes c7 errors. It's not known what the difference between stock built in rom and dumped roms from other places that causes this problem.

Further fixing it may require reverse engineering the code, and figuring out how to modify the emulator further?

I've tested Yoshi's Island injected from a clean rom and has same issues in World 1-7 than the stock game.

Probably because of the 'auto-patching' (to add filters) by the Canoe when it detects he game. No work around yet.

One way people got past auto-patching in NES classic apparently (Zelda II for example) was by uploading a partially hacked rom (slight 'corruption' of the rom) that changed its appearance enough that the emulator didn't detect the rom as Zelda II to initiate the patch. Maybe if there is a way to change Yoshi's 'ID' number to something else?

https://github.com/ClusterM/hakchi2/issues/33

The auto-patching effects many games on the SNES mini in Canoe including Earthbound, Secret of Mana, Donkey Kong Country, F-Zero, Super Mario RPG, Kirby All Stars, Contra, etc. It probably patches all the core roms in some way if there are any 'strobing', bright animations or 'flashes'.

I would like to try out dosbox, do the games have to be zipped?
(Like Duke Nukem 1 and 2, Commander Keen, etc... same for Day of the Tentacle and a few others)

Any tips are wolcome

 

[Hellequin]

On the compatibility list, when it is said that the games are working, can I assume that, when they're not patched by Cluster nor present on the Preset ID list, their preset ID is 0x0000 0x00 ?
Is it sure that they are working? I read here and there that some added games would freeze using canoe during gameplay.

Anyone?

More specifically, the games I'm adding are :
Chrono Trigger
Donkey Kong Country 2
Donkey Kong Country 3
Dragon Ball Z La Légende Saien (NTSC patch)
Legend
Mortal Kombat II
Super Bomberman 3 (NTSC patch)
Super R-Type
TMNT IV
Wild Guns

 

[Doublemeat]

I have a little situation going on. I tried to add battletoads arcade for mame retroarch. Now any mods/games i try to add it keeps on saying "cant access btoads.zip". Maybe uninstall all mods and start from the beginning?

 

[Jojse]

I have just installed hakchi2 and added more games to my mini snes. All system works great but not NES. The systems I installed is: Gameboy, Gameboy advance, Nes, more Snes, Mega drive, Nintendo 64.... I have installed cores for all the systems + _km_retroarch_10_17_17.hmod... I can't understand why NES games aren't working, every game I try to start I get send back to menu... Do i have to install anything else for NES-games to work? The roms are all ok, I have used them on my mini nes...
The nes games name *.nes and Hakchi compress them to *.7z....

Known problematic games e.g. Super Street Fighter II have the following in the Issue Description column "Must change SNES ID Preset to 0x0000 (press ctrl+alt+E)" in the compatibility list. As the compatibility list is publicly editable by anyone and not everyone might follow the same level of professionalism when editing the list, I'd simply cross-reference your games against the list and if nothing is noted in the Issue Description column, assume there's no ID patching. Alternatively, there have been posts on people, copying the SFROM from the SNES Mini and using a hexeditor to check for any ID changes against the original. I'd post links to them, if I could, but I can't.

Anyway, unless it's noted how much testing was undertaken, before the game was given a status of "working", then it's too early to say with 100% certainty whether a game works 100%, due to the number of different versions of a particular ROM and the amount of time it would take to explore every area of a game. However, if you can boot it up and start playing, that gives a pretty good indication...

I found the problem myself My SNES Mini don't like No-Intro roms... I downloaded a diffrent pack, and now everything works great!

It is not about what games you add, the folders are about what system you are set up as using in hakchi. games is for nes mini, snes_games is for snes mini. It is not sorting by game type.

I'm looking for a little bit of guidance if anyone could help I'd really appreciate it

I installed hakchi on my nes classic with no problems at all, set up folders and used retroarch to run 2 snes games, so I know the program pretty well

Ideally I'd like to flash my snes one time and be done, I'm only putting snes games on the system, with most being able to be run with canoe (per the imperfect compatibility list) and about 10 or so being run with a snes emulator, I know how to do the retroarch command line so that isn't a problem

my question is When I install Hakchi should i use the clover emulators or @KMFDManic 's set? I'm looking for the emulator that will run the games the best (least lag and best compatibility and take up the least space)

I've read this entire thread from last year on and i'm having a tough time sussing out what is working best for everyone.

mmh is it possible to add more borders in canoe or only override the standard number?
