I noticed that when you remove games, it sometimes doesn't "recover" the used space. In that case, I close hakchi, reopen it again, and voila, the "used space" is calculated again and (AFAIK) is correct.
This does work sometimes. But definitely not Very much. Yes sometimes it needs to be refreshed but that only works sometime. I could exit out 10 times in a row and the memory is gone still. I'm talkin lets say you have 280/295. You put 10mb game on and have 290/295. Then you take it off and watch it change to 280/294 now or 293.5. Exit out and get back in and it does not change. Then lets say I wanna add a mod so now it lowers the 294 to like 292 depending on mod. Then i take it off and now I have 291 instead of 294. I can restart a refresh hakchi to get my full 344.7 again. But same thing will always happen when you start trying games and.mods and taking them right back off. My limit shouldn't ever change unless I add mods.

Could someone help me with understanding atari games?
I tried uploading a few atari 2600 games, however the roms I have are all in the .bin format, which hakchi doesn't recognize as being valid. What format should they be in?
Also, where can I get hmods for other Atari systems?
Thanks!
google "atari age" for somemore info.
Stella is the core you need, found it on pcm720 github (google pcm 720 github)

@bigjdoberman & @ByteThis,

Right now i am trying Cologne.
https://www.zophar.net/consoles/gameboy/coleco/cologne.html

If you run it, you can add a Coleco game and a bios, then Cologne makes it GBA game, which would run on RetroArch

EDIT:
Only after installing the MGBA core, i managed to run the Coleco games, finally !!!
I might be the first ;-)
All you need is Cologne, a Coleco bios and a file.
It is also possible to put all the games into 1 GBA file and run that...it is a emulator inside a emulator.
Don't expect the top sound of the Coleco ;-) it is a somewhat high pitched sound, and the graphics are not that great, but it runs !!!

Does anyone know why save states would stop working for some games? I think I had some Genesis states from 2.13 and now that I'm on 2.15 some don't work. :-(

Hello guys! Question; how do you make a particular button setting for a specific core in retroarch the default button combination? Like for example, I wanted to set a default button setting for the Sega Genesis emulator in retroarch, so that all games I add in my NES Mini would follow/use that default button setting for both player 1 & 2. I know you can remap the buttons via the quick menu, but I wanted to make a default button setting across all games. How do you do that? Thank you in advance!

Have these people that can only put 100MB worth of games on restarted their PC and try it again? sromeroi has indicated that when you close Hakchi and re-open it.. it goes back to normal..
that is just when the counter bugs out and stops counting. When that happens you just restart hakchi and the counter will be accurate again.

If I'm not mistaken, after having remapped the buttons as you wished, should choose to "Save as Core Map" instead of "Save as Game Map" (not sure about the wordings but you get my point :)). The options are next to one another.

EDIT: "All games" refer to all games that use that particular hmod/emulator.

The bios inside the Colem zip will work, it should be the same 8kb bios.
Just load Cologne, add a game, than click on more, click on bios, than add the bios, do not click on "BIOS games" or on "Use PAL timing", add a title in the top and press save, do not overwrite cologne.gba, just give it the title of the game.
Install the MGBA hmod, and than add the games, they should run, the buttons work, but i think the keypad doesn't, so games like Mousetrap will work but you cannot open the yellow,red,blue doors or transform into a dog ;-)

Bin works just fine for me with Stella, just make sure you change the command line for as such; bin/a26 /.........

That game isn't supported on the older mame cores so won't work.

Okay, so apparently, the way it works is:

- After setting up your controls under the CONTROL menu, make sure you select "Save Core Remap File"
- Then go back to the QUICK MENU window and select "Save Core Overrides"

That should make your current button config the default button config for all games under that one emulator core. :D
