Official hakchi2 - NES Mini very simple pimp tool

[TheWez1981]

Thanks Cluster.... I would only need the template file of the Famicom Mini, which I could rename to nes.png, and upload it...
I want the best of both worlds actually.... Famicoms design, but english font

You're welcome to send it anytime

I know it might sounds kinda silly, but I added 886 NES, FamiCom and FDS games to my installation.
FamiCom are translated ones.

Then I downloaded the boxarts from Hyperspin and added them 1 by 1 on it
The boxarts there are good quality... I don't actually use google's image finder.

I have a total of 245 MB for all 886 Games and Boxarts

Seems all n64 games work great including battery saves if they aren't compressed

Installed 2.14 and I'm stuck in a driver install loop, any ideas?

Ignore user problem hahah

Can you let me know what the solution was? I have same problem and hope it has the same solution.

Hakchi2.14 gets stuck "waiting for your nes mini.." when I sync for games. I can install driver but it goes right back to same waiting screen. This is strange to begin with cause I can still flash kernal and install mods just fine, and have been using hakchi2 for a while anyways with no problems. (shouldn't need to install driver.)

So this happens with fresh install of Hakchi2.14 and updating from 2.13e. Going back to 2.13e works. And I can communicate with the mini in 2.14b to upload new kernel.....but when it gets to syncing games it is always waiting for mini.

Any help is appreciated! @Beaps ?.... @Cluster .... Anyone?
-Cheers

Downloaded loaded the 2.14. also downloaded and replaced/updated the clovershell.hmod. the application won't even boot up. am I missing a step?

Original kernel - yes, of course. But there is no custom kernel in hakchi2 folder.

Correct.

Seems like a bug. I'll test it.

You need to solder USB ID pin inside NES Mini to enable USB-host. honeylab already did it.

Yes, all savegames are stored into /var/lib/clover/profiles/0/ folder. So you can download all savestates using clovershell (https://github.com/ClusterM/clovershell-client) by simple command:

clovershell.exe exec "tar -czv /var/lib/clover/profiles/0/CLV-*" - my_saves.tar.gz

Of course it's planned to integrate this function in hakchi2.


Hooray! =)

I created clovershell daemon: https://github.com/ClusterM/clovershell-daemon
It starts automatically and works in the background while NES Mini is working. It listening to USB and allows to transfer data and execute commands.

How do you install the clovershell daemon and how does it work exactly ?

Also, could you please make it so you can do Game Genie on more than just NES ?

@Cluster can you post the soldering schematics?
Should we also need to hack the kernel to support external USB devices? Is that hack included in your patched kernel or will it be included in a future version?

Thanks cluster for hakchi 2.14b !!! XD I'm testing my mini with two PSX games ( 131 MB +128 MB) with psx core and runs ok!!! Crash bandicut 2 and 3:

Which ones? Try revolt for me if you can bro. Please! Sound was choppy etc last time I tried on 2.12

Hmm I was thinking the same. Doesn't this depend on the core rather then anything else?

 

[Hacking_Myself]

@Cluster , I've tried many times, but the problem persists: original Classic Controller Pro doesn't work here.

Is it possible to be a fake one??? Please, check the picture.

That's what I thought. But if he said almost all are working then maybe something changed haha

I have that controller and it works. So something must be up.

Yours has a different shade of white around the buttons and the logo, also the Wii logo seems darker. Does it say Nintendo on the back? Regardless it should work with 2.14 if it is not broken.

I use exctly this one but I got the black version - works a treat

 

[Cluster]

So those 4 mods are now integrated in here? No need to check them one by one again? I'll try it again tonight. Hoping for miracle after your reply.

How about my next questions:
Seriously, no more 30-MB limit?? So is it okay to put over 90 NES games or 30 Genesis games in just one folder??

Thank you.

Only third mod installed. It uses automatic data format detection (tries #3 but works with #1 as well) and alternative noise filter.
It's uploading all files in one continues stream, so it can upload 300MB at once. The only one limit - memory capacity

Does CRT settings work now with nestopia?

It's not related to hakchi2. I'm not sure, it's possible to enable it manually. Or install/select some other shader filters.

Can you let me know what the solution was? I have same problem and hope it has the same solution.

Try to disable driver signature verification. Also try to use Zadig if my installer is not working (but report about it, please).

Clovershell installs just as any regular mod - via FEL mod. It's open source, you watch how it works by youself: https://github.com/ClusterM/clovershell-daemon/blob/master/clovershell.c
Game Genie is different for every console. NES Mini is for NES games at first. And you can enable cheats for any console in RetroArch's menu.

@Cluster can you post the soldering schematics?
Should we also need to hack the kernel to support external USB devices? Is that hack included in your patched kernel or will it be included in a future version?

I have not soldered it. But honeylab, try to ask him.
Yes, kernel modification required too. You can read honeylab's blog about it.

Maybe it's better to disable compression for all large N64 games?

I don't know. But if it worked before it should work now.

The controller still have a plastic film on it. There's "Nintendo" logo on the back.

Is it possible that I've forgot to install something? CloverShell, CloverCon? I don't have any idea.

Haha OK.. thought it looks a bit off. In that case yours looks legit and the same as mine. If it worked before I don't know what to tell you. Did you check it with a previous version of Hakchi (you still could)?

Edit - Better yet uninstall Hakchi completely from your NES mini (back to stock) and if it doesn't work yours is broken. These things should work straight out of the box.

Weird thing, because the controller is working fine, just right now, on my Wii...

if it was working before then no reason it should just stop working. Sometimes after I add retroarch my controller doesn't work. But all I have to do is turn it off and unplug it then turn it on and plug it back in.

I don't know. But if it worked before it should work now.

It says this..."It will automatically detect unsupported NES games and run them instead of the default emulator. Save states will work as usual."
It also says..."To use Nestopia instead of FCEUmm for all games by default, install use_nestopia.hmod module from additional_mods.zip."

Does this mean that if you install the use_nestopia.hmod, it will use that instead of the emulator that the mini uses by default ?
