No. Only retroarch.hmod (FDS functionality), fb_alpha.hmod and fbalpha2012_neogeo.hmod were updated. If you don't have any FDS games you wish to run using Nestopia, there's no point in updating anything

Thanks for the info.yeah I dont have any FDS games..but Retroarch was updated? Maybe I should update that one?

Sonic 2 & 3 give a black screen and go's back to NES Classic menu. Alreay try different roms but same problem. You guys have any idea what i did wrong ? :)
Are them in .bin format? If so, that's the problem. Use roms with .md extension

I read that someone flashed 314 MB onto the mini. Could someone explain the 300 MB limit on the hackchi2 program?
It's an estimate. There are other factors outside of ROMs that aren't included in the 300MB count that can max out the storage of your NESC, such as installed mods, emulator BIOS, save states, folder art, etc.

I tried to name a file retroarch (version 0.5).hmod, but it didn't like that. It won't install the module with that name.

I was trying so hard to be tidy, and have version numbers on the files. :P rofl.

Years ago, I manually patched together Sonic 2 + S&K and Sonic 3 + S&K, which left them as .bin files. Just to be safe, I found .md files and used those.

Yes..you have to install the mods b4 you install the games in the MODULES button in main Hakchi gui.Just make sure you have the correct cores in the user_mods folder for your games before you install up in MODULES.When the folder options come up...select CUSTOMIZE..You can make folders yourself EG: NES SNES.. etc and drag and drop your games in the folders...

Leave the original 30 games that came on the mini together..but drag and drop the roms you added into those folders.

You may not have many responses, but all the info for what your needs are is in this thread.Just have to read,,hehe!

I had to use the search feature in upper right corner of this thread to find all the info myself when I first started modding my mini. Just alot of reading!

Hey guys, just thought I'd chime in with my experiences so far. I've mostly been interested in the arcade emulation so that's what the bulk of my rant will be about.

What I have running arcade wise right now:
Cps2:
gem fighter mini mix
Super puzzle fighter 2 turbo

Mame 2003:
Street fighter alpha 3
Sunset riders 4 player

Final burn alpha:
Simpsons 2 player
Tmnt 2 player
Willow

Neo Geo:
Puzzle De pon!
Bust a move
Neo turf masters
Baseball stars 2

The rest is pretty boring, 90 nes games, 31 snes, a few gb, ba, 5 genesis blah blah.

I tried the vectrex core out and chose spike, but the sound is horredous. Unplayable IMO. Wanted to mess around with the PSX core but the average iso I could find was around 430mb, so if yall know something I dont, please share!

For the LIFE of me, I can't figure out why I'm unable to change the music. Nothing I try works. Where are you hakchi gurus!?

Really ? Nobody is going to help me with the folder structures and what the hakchi2 settings mean ?
You can see the changes in folder management when you press those buttons It means exactly what it means, you can keep original games, hide them, split extra games even or alphabeticall. Just try it, when you run into problems we are here to help you. Just follow the steps and read before you do anything.

Can you play SNES with the original NES Classic Mini controller ? Super mario all-stars launch and i can navigate the menu but soon as i see mario to go to level 1 the controller is not working anymore...

Since SNES games now use the snes9x2005 core in RetroArch and I made the switch from the other core, Super Mario All-Stars is the only game I've had a problem with regards to the controller not working. I reinstalled snes9x2010 core and then added the snes10 argument in Hakchi for mario all-stars. Controller working again! but keep in mind the save states will be 5 megs each due to the bug in snes9x2010 core.

Not sure if classic mini controller works though, never tried it. I just wanted to continue using my wii classic pro controller

I'll have to find an NES Classic first. Stores don't have them. Online doesn't have them. I'm getting pretty sick of Nintendo at this point.

I see you've added more ready to go MAME roms to your GitHub today. Safe to say you've tested them on your console? Thanks again for this.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
