I've got Doki Doki Panic title screen to work by adding this command line code

--fds-auto-disk-side-switch-on-keypress

Great

On New Ghostbusters II (European version HAL) i've tried

PAL emulation is not working for some reason
But what the point to use PAL version? Japanese version using english language Just download New Ghostbusters II (J).

I know about the PAL, it works but it goes to fast, i never thought about the Japanese one, i also didn't know it was in English...thanks !!!

Did someone already start working on a list with all nes games with their publisher, release date and 1/2-player support?
The best I have found so far is this list:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_Entertainment_System_games

Would be great if someone already did this for 1/2-player support.

Original picture size and resolution doesn't matter. If you check image resolutions in the games folder you'll find out that all the pictures have been converted to png format and resolution is as follows 140x204 box art and 28x40 thumbnails. Filesizes are also very small, roughly 70kb big ones and 4kb thumbnails...

I optimise them for example for BATMAN game pngs:

• CLV-H-AVGKE.png
  original size via hakchi2 65.0 KB
• after squishing down:
  16.0 KB !!
  −75% savings and looks no different! do this to 60 titles and suddenly you have more space for saves/roms

even the tiny thumbnail benefits

• 3.0 KB original
  CLV-H-AVGKE_small.png
• after squishing:
  1.9 KB

−39% savings!

So how much in total i save on my 66 game selection... and it looks no diff from original but you save a lot!

original png size total : 2.39MB not bad... for png i guess.. but...

optimised size total: 675KB !! KB!! 1.71 MB savings

Maybe use this one? http://bootgod.dyndns.org:7777/profile.php?id=270
It has CRC32 database.

So I tried using hakchi2 on my famicom mini, at first it worked, I installed 6 games. Tonight I tried installing 15 more, suddenly, I could only access like 10 games inside, so I kinda panicked and did an uninstall. After that the original 30 games came back but when I tried adding new games, it won't let me add games anymore. Any ideas what happened?

Hi Cluster,

Thanks for responding to my question regarding Windows XP compatibility. Could you please give some instructions around how to install the .NET framework on XP? I know you said it doesn't come preinstalled.

Additionally, what version of the .NET framework will I need? I really appreciate the support as I am a novice when it comes to this computer stuff.

@Seiza616
You wil need at least 3.5

Isn't there a update on XP ?

 

[psygho]

Found patching it for real hardware seems to make it work properly, I found the below patch and fixes the glitches for me.

YES it worked! Thank you so much!

Thanks for the link to the file. How would I check XP for the update to see if the file is available. Additionally, I looked online and it says I may need installer 3.1 to download the network file?

We tried it on Famicom Mini (basically the Japanese one) and it works.

i think you have a XP without service pack 1, 2 or 3.
Use google to search for these packs or for installer 3.1

@Cluster
Could you take a look at Gun nac (u)? The main title font is not properly display.

It's pretty easy to patch, the only difference between MMC3 and MMC6 is PRG-RAM protection. I don't sure but probably I already created patch for Startropics 2 when I worked with coolboy cartridges. I'll check.

Thanks, it's THE game i wanted to add but it's impossible to create a new file (i've tried different roms and the result is always the same)

 

[Mad-Mega]

I had the same problem with Startropics 2

 

[artemus3]

Me too with Startropics 2, a good game! :-)
