Official hakchi2 - NES Mini very simple pimp tool

[Baggins]

Not true. Mine is a Euro version. All my NTSC roms work fine. Most of my PAL roms work ok but for one or two which need patching.

Both US and European SNES minis prefer the NTSC rom. There is no difference in this regard

Then its in WIIUBricker's ballpark to 'prove' his claims then, with actual video, and which roms were throwing up the 'region/PAL' warnings for him....


He claims he never tried to test "Pal" roms, but only NTSC roms, and some were throwing up the "PAL" you can't use this in this region warning.

the software of a Europe and a US Mini SNES is the same.

the difference are comsetic nature!
thats the design of the system menu that are equal to the shell and the button colours!
the rest of the system is the same.

Pal games working not on a europe mini snes.
and some pal games that are patched to ntsc give a warning that its not a pal konsole and dont start.
after a region unlock to ntsc they work.

my version is a europe version.

when the europe version other is then the us version then must be hakchi have a thrid selection for the region version like it has for the japanese mini snes version.

and a other thing is that nintendo said here in germany that the games are only in english is because its the ntsc version of the games with what the console works.
and when there would be a extra pal version then would be the games in different language like german, spain or france!
but the games are only englisch.

¿Any help?

Ilusion of time of my friend on his Snes mini using retroarch

My snes mini with same rom using retroarch

Pal version of the game on spanish

Press start and select to bring up the menu. Go to Settings, then Video. Change the Aspect Ratio to Custom and adjust the X and Y positions and Width and Height to fit. You may have to disable the Interger Scale setting to be able to adjust the width and height correctly.

Thanks, it fit perfectly when I changed the Aspect Ratio to Custom without changing any X and Y values

I have attached the border for people who want to try it out. speakers.cfg is for 4:3 mode and ppspeakers.cfg is for pixel-perfect mode. For the pixel-perfect mode just change Aspect Ratio to Config, it will fit automatically. To install it, just drag speakerborders.hmod to the hakchi windows and follow the instructions. Credit goes to @kongsnutz whose file I have edited myself.

You need to patch the PAL rom or use gaia

 

[Baggins]

Ok that is the definitley the warning for trying to run PAL game on NTSC... All that proves is that the system is a NTSC based system, and doesn't like 'Pal" until its fully patched to bypass the warning.


There is no evidence of the reverse, of 'NTSC on Pal" warning which one would expect to say something like: "This Pak is not designed for your Super NES" To indicate that its NTSC game trying to run on PAL.

@flinto @Baggins Maybe this should clarify things.

Same rom, pal version using retroarch
My friend dont work, me work. ¿Why?

 

[flinto]

@flinto @Baggins Maybe this should clarify things.

A little but its still not true. Pal roms region locked such as illusion of time do not work on the Euro SNES mini just like it doesnt work on the US

Latest version of hakchi has an option to patch games. It doesnt work for me but i havnt patched yet.

 

[Baggins]

@flinto @Baggins Maybe this should clarify things.

What is an example of an NTSC game that was region protected (other than physical shape of the cartridge)?

As far as I know on actual hardware, no NTSC game will work on PAL system. I.E. Japanese (NTSC) games were simply incompatible hardware wise.

 

[WiiUBricker]

A little but its still not true. Pal roms region locked such as illusion of time do not work on the Euro SNES mini just like it doesnt work on the US

That's because they're Quintet games that will only work using Retroarch.

How do you update retroarch when a new version comes out?

use a region unlock ips patch.

my german pal version of illusion of time and terranigma is patchted to ntsc and work with retroarch without problems.
all my german version are patched to work with the mini snes

 

[flinto]

How do you update retroarch when a new version comes out?

Best guess - uninstall then reinstall

Might need to do a fresh install of hakchi

 

[Liriel]

so the proof of the german to ntsc patched version that works with retroarch on a europe mini snes

 

[the_randomizer]

so the proof of the german patched version

Where did you find that box art of Final Fantasy V? I was trying to find something like that

 

[kevinamold]

How do you fix that annoying issue where if you have too few games on the screen (I think), when you scroll to the ones on the far end, the scroll bar jumps around all crazy? I dont know if I'm explaining this right, but someone has to know what I'm talking about. Is there a way to fix this?
