Official hakchi2 - NES Mini very simple pimp tool

@DjoeN ,yep,i have also several copiers from the past,sometimes i use it,but mostly i play with sd2snes,is there maybe a chance ikari can implement sa1 and sfx,maybe they can learn from the mini snes and anylyze the emu how sfx and sa1 works.

I have a problem with 2.21b (2.0.21.32) that I don't have with old version 2.20 : 'Overlay Display' is always ON.

I put 'Overlay Display' OFF, save retroarch.cfg but when I exit game and relaunch it, 'Overlay Display' is always ON !!!

I just realized that problem is not hakchi2 2.21b but retroarch 0.9c.
I replaced retroarch 0.9c by old version 0.8 and all is OK now.

There is nothing to learn from the SNES Mini Classic.
SA1 and GSU 1&2 are already fully emulated aswell as the other Special Chips for the SNES.
Nintendos own emulator canoe is also inferior compared to emulators like BSNES.
I dont know if its is possible to add SA1 and SFX to the sd2snes.
They also need to be emulated or simulated so that requires extra power. I dont know if the sd2snes can provide that.
Most of the other chips like DSP or SDD-1 are just for math operations or decompression. This can be archived easier.

Hi. I installed this and used FBA to run it. Download and install the retroarch and cores zip to Hakchi (if not already done so).
Then I just dragged the Outrun .ZIP into Hakchi and added ad archive.
Click on the game in Hakchi and on the left side, go to command line and change the start of the line to /bin/fba ...

It worked, but the sound was a breaking up, and still need to remap steering controls, as the d-pad didn't work. So I think I'll try Mame2003 or Mame2010.

I'm getting a C8 error when I turn off console. I have to turn it back on and then off again every time to properly shut down? Why is it doing this? I'm using the newestv2.21b (internal version 2.0.21.32) version


Cheers

Too many games without folders!

Too many games without folders!

I tried it with a few folders and still the same. Just found out that if I go to original games folder it shuts down fine, but in other folders it hits a error. Bug I guess.

How much space is left on the system?

What is the limit for folders.. I am seeing a lot of mixed answers and I 2 have the c8 issue with less then 80 games...is the a recommend or max number of game per folder that will keep us in the clean to be error free?

 

[RetroVortex]

333 TG16/PCE, GB/C, NES, SNES, MD/GEN, and SNES games, all with art. Only 200mb used.
Damn. Never imagined I could pull it off.

Usually you don't want to go over 60. Some people have reported having over 100 and not having any issue. But 60 seems to be the usual cutoff that fixes the problem. Back when the NES Classic came out I think Cluster recommended nothing over 30.

 

[RetrogamerX]

I have 90 games on the snes mini and have 214mb left.

Can only hope cluster can fix the issue with having all 100 games in one folder.

That's impressive man, awesome.

Someone should write a decent windows 7/10 snestool to edit headers/convert format/convert ntsc<->pal and vica versa/ etc...

[EDIT]
I know there's SFC/SNES Rom Utility, but it has less options then snestool
(Yes, most don't need all the extra, but i still use a copier on my snes)

Well, here is quick step-by-step guide for the NTSC/PAL stuff using SNESTool.

I think It's more a limitation on the SNES Classic hardware than Hakchi. He's already added more compression in this 2.20 release so this may be the best we get.

If it is. That's ok. I just have to remember to go back to ogininal games before turning off. Thanks for the info PPlays

Well after compressing some more images with Pngyu I saved another 7mb space. It's 192.7mb out of 237mb available after enabling the option to move savestates to the extra partition. (50mb for saves alone is plenty for a few games at a time)
I manually sorted them into folders up to 30 too. So I have no issues with them at all. Added my own custom overlay that's the speaker overlay with scanlines. (I posted earlier about how to do it) so it all looks pretty consistent 4:3 with scanlines.

30 GB/GBC games
54 MD/Gen games
78 NES games
38 TG-16/PCE games
133 SNES games including the originals.

So yeah. 333 games in 192mb. With some space to spare.

And everything runs well? That's great man. I added a Gameboy overlay that I'm really proud of lol.

The nes mini homescreen can handle 244 images (covers, mini covers, screensaver images, savestates screenshots). So, 30 games is the recommended number if you want 4 saves for each game.
On snes mini I don't know if the limit is the same or not. You can put more than 30 games in a folder, but savestate screenshots will cause c8 errors sooner or later
