So have you made the upgrade to 2.21b (2.0.20.32)? I'm curious if people have had any issues making the switch :P
Yes I upgraded with the newest release just to check it out. Works perfectly fine. Best thing is when you put a new game on that the native emu doesn't support, a little notification box pops up asking if you want to make it compatible with retroarch. The NES Classic did that too :)

Sweet, that is pretty cool actually, and I like the new filter module options on a per-game basis too :D

I took the --retroarch out for the problematic games. I haven't synced yet with 2.21 yet. When I sync will the notification box come up? I think that's what happened with the NES. Just can't recall.

Yeah I'll have to play around with it this weekend. Although I don't know what the difference is between:


Argument to enable bilinear filter in 4:3 mode:
--smooth43

Argument to disable scanlines in CRT mode (bilinear filter only):
--no-scanlines

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

That's correct.

Here you go, unzip this and drag the retroborders.hmod into hakchi.

You will be able to use some of the borders (non-animated) in retroarch games with scanlines (CRT filter). - For SNESC

NOTE: If your screens aren't centered already, adjust and stretch them in retroarch, save configuration and exit retroarch from the menu to actually save it.
This is awesome. But I don't like the CRT filter. Please tell me where to deactivate it in retroarch. I can't find this option.
Really nice, thanks for your release! Just like McHusky I'd be interested in "scanline-less" border overlays, though. Any chance you'll add those?

That's correct.
I assume 4:3 is the pixel perfect, and CRT is what does the scanlines. I hope I'm right. Both will force bilinear it seems.

4.3 mode should be 4.3 mode. It seems like that argument adds bilinear filtering (fuzzyness) to 4.3 mode. CRT mode already has scanlines and bilinear filtering. So removing the scanlines leaves you with only bilinear filtering.

Yeah, that's the one I want, CRT mode, but not with scalines, I'm not a purist when it comes to pixel perfection (the unfiltered pixels make my eyes bleed). I've been using the --no-scanlines argument, but I'll be testing that later. While I wish there was a way to force a slight stretch in resolution, I doubt it's something easily implemented.

I have 205mb of games (138)

And i also took away the thumbnails.

And now when i go between folders it takes a few seconds to come back.
Is it because of the Number of games i have or that i took away the thumbnails?

It worked great before when i was at 199mb of roms. But not now when i pot in 5 games more.

Have 2.0.20.15


Tried the new one but then original games didnt work :( so went back to the other.

Just upgraded to the latest Hakchi2 from Hackchi2 2.17

I have a NESC. I cleaned my NESC uninstalled all modules, flashed my original kernal back on. Performed a factory reset within the NESC.

Downloaded latest hackchi2. Flashed customer kernal, installed latested retroarch with modules. Copied games, config, and dump folder from old hakchi2 to new hakchi2.

Perform a sync but I get this error. Any idea what I need to do besides adding all my games manually again?

OMG the No Scanlines argument is the GREATEST THING EVER in CRT mode! It looks perfect!

How did you add it to the global command line? when i add something like --no-scanlines or --smooth43 what ever, i get on every game C7, when i remove the command line everything is working again (for sure the mod is installed).
