Official hakchi2 - NES Mini very simple pimp tool

Go to this page:

https://github.com/ClusterM/hakchi2/wiki/Modifications-and-modules-guide

It shows where the original games are stored in the file system. You can delete them if you wish.

LOL. I am not dummy. Just uncertain thats all. Thanks for this guide. It is so useful. Thank you!

Sounds great but I am a little bit confused. I have hakchi of the latest version and use FTP (I know what it is) ? You mean use the FTP separate ? Not sure what you mean.

If I don't want them anymore.. right click them and select delete through FTP ? And still not sure what you mean as well.

Did you buy your NES Mini modded and downloaded a new version of Hakchi? if so you won't see any game list in Hakchi. You don't need FTP to delete a game you should be able to see them in Hakchi and deselect the games you don't want in your setup.

Matter of fact, yes. And I will reflash it if I want to. Right now, I will try to deselect the games but I like Bytethis's dummy guide just for the future. Thanks again!

Is there anyway to get the 64 games to work right without crashing! Mario cart Mario party's all crash after a short time of playing! Still new to this and any help would be appreciated!

Oh I forgot to ask you... If I want to erase all of them and start over then I would have to flash it ? How do I do that ?

I never flashed a system that someone else modded, but I suppose you first need to go back to stock. You need a kernel file for that but I am sure the fine people here can supply you with one. Then it is business as usual, you can find tons of info online about installing Hakchi2

Step 1 - First you need to go back to stock

No, I won't do that but I just want to know how to do that. By the way, I contacted that person that sold to me is happily to send the kernel file according to my NES CLASSIC MINI's serial number. I await for him in the email this Monday since he is out until Monday.

Anyway, I am not interesting in retroarch. I just prefer NES games only. Its so natural to me, lol. What's wrong with dumping my kernel while my nes is modded already If I want to?

Edit: Or...Just go to Kernel -> Uninstall. then dump kernel ? and restoring new classic mini to stock ?

You can dump a modded kernel. Things will work just fine. Download hakchi. Connect your nes mini to computer and hold reset and start to put it in fel mode and install driver. Zadig program will help install it. But You need to install the driver otherwise you can't do anything. And then dump kernel in hakchi. It will say it's an unknown number but just continue and it will dump it and then flash custom kernel and then add your nes games to hakchi and then sync them to mini. I recommend installing retroarch cause it plays nes games that don't work on factory core. So even if you don't want other systems still at least just install retroarch. And I still recommend having a factory kernel on your computer at least. I've come across a few problems that needed to go back to original kernel to fix them. I use the kernel from my other nes mini since I didn't save mine to begin with on my first mini. It works fine you don't need your specific serial numbered kernel you just need a factory one.

With Retroarch you can play a lot more NES games, that without, just never work. The standard emulator doesn't have full mapper support.

I remember in the late 90's people just wanted to play Mario 64 on their PC. The first emulators were build around Mario 64 to make it run decent (some games ran but usually crappy). I suppose this is still true, the only game that runs almost perfect (we are talking emulation here) is Mario 64. I almost finished the game without any issue so far. Al in all the emulator for the N64 is not that great. Another game that ran decent for me was Doom 64, only the intro is a bit choppy but you can obviously skip the intro. At least you can play one of the best if not the best game of the N64 on your Mini without any issue

I remember the first guy who build a working N64 emulator, he dropped his project because Nintendo asked him to work for him...

No, I am waiting for my seller to send the kernel to me that matched my serial number on the back of NES Classic Mini.

Why recommend installing retroarch ? My 720 NES games works fine. I am not sure I understand why you recommend it ? I am not into hack roms or anything to addition it. Just an original NES games only like a real NES had in the past.

In that case, the previous owner installed RetroArch for you, otherwise you would run into mapper issues being not compatible with certain games. You could check for yourself if RetroArch is installed on your mini by going to a game that otherwise wouldn't run. For example open "Batman Revenge of the Joker" and then press select and start at the same time, if RetroArch is installed it should open the menu of RetroArch. If RetroArch isn't installed you wouldn't be able to play the game in the first place because it is simply is not compatible with the stock emulator. Also the kernel is not associated to the serial number of your NES mini, they are all identical you could use any factory kernel as long it is not for the Famicom Mini.

Anyone have or can do a side by side screen shot of smb using the default emulator in the mini, and one of smb with retroarch? I don't think I have ever seen this but would like to see how they look next to each other.

cause some games won't work without retroarch. Even nes games.

I don't care about retroarch and I already know that. I have retroarch for my macOS so I am fine with it. Not for NES Classic Mini. A seller modded 720 games before sell it to me and that was very nice of him but I can do that myself. Now I checked and don't liked many nes games. I liked only a few nes games. Now, I don't mind 720 in our nes classic mini as part of library.

Name nes games that don't worked with new classic mini ? Curiosity.

How much did you pay for the mini with it modded with all 720 games? Just curious!

The 2 of the top of my head are mr gimmick and batman return of joker and there are more. Neither will work without retroarch installed. So if they work for you then retroarch is installed. If you just wanna get rid of some of the 720 nes games you can't. You will have to start all over. No matter what you do with that console you have to start over. Unless you send it back to your seller who has your games folder and everything on his computer.

A lot of Japanese fds games most importantly Kid Dracula.

Pokémon Stadium runs (mini games crashes), and you can just exit the rom.
