Can i hack my snes mini with my linux pc?

yes, just need to have wine installed

 

[Jojse]

via retroarch or internal emulator?

You must install retroarch to play NES on mini SNES.

 

[laharl22]

yes, just need to have wine installed

with wine it doesnt launch it loading the cursor when i launch but nothing wich setting i need to use ?

 

[tqhoang]

Did all that. Now everytime i try to install mods it gives me "invalid kernel size 37658624".
Any ideas why is this how to get past it ?
Thanks

Your kernel dump is bad. Do you know which version of SNES mini you have?
Ex: USA firmware v2.0.{7,13,14}
or EU firmware v2.0{7,14}

 

[Jukrae]

No, but then you're just playing in 4.3 mode anyway lol.

Really?
But in crt Mode the graphic looks smoother than in the other modes
Or am i wrong?

 

[laharl22]

How to run the exe in wine?

 

[loveShmups]

via retroarch or internal emulator?

I'm using retroarch ...

 

[cokeaddict]

Do we have a list of what is on each of the NAND partitions? I've searched and can't seem to find anything.

I recently got a SNES EU model with FW 2.0.14 and would like to update my original one that has FW 2.0.7.

What is the difference between your snes with 2.0.7 and your new one with 2.0.14 ?

Mostly looks like a rebuild of BusyBox but the big changes are likely these (what actually changed is still TBD):

Canoe-SHVC emulator (2.2.0.0426.0 -> 2.3.0531.0)

That's because of the bilinear filter lol.

 

[Liriel]

[laharl22]

116 games on 1 folder

 

[galder]

I need to help to activate Bilinear filter in retroarch but not scanlines.
How to put retroarch at fullscreen at 16/9 without borders?

 

[Liriel]

116 games on 1 folder

thats the problem!
60games in 1 folder only.
with more it gives you the C8 error!
use folders!

thats not a hakchi problem.
its a mini snes problem

Today's Core Set Update

Updated SNES9x (Now has support for the newly fan translated Tengai Makyou Zero: Far East of Eden and RTC support for the SPC7110 Chip PicoDrive is updated to 1.92!, and now sram saves work! Thanks notaz for the great Code Changes! MAME 2003 with System 32 Support is now in the Extras & Dependencies Folder. Current MAME 2003, with additional support for "More" Games, is in Main Folder now. Hyper Street Fighter II, Metal Slug 4, Windjammers (Yes, finally!), Sengoku 3, King of Fighter 2000, DonPachi, Vasara 2 , and many others now function on MAME 2003! Enjoy the absolutely amazing compatibility update for MAME 2003! Atari Lynx (Handy) was also updated. Final Burn Alpha Updated. Updated the Filters in Extreme RetroArch in Extras & Dependencies Folder. Added 8bitdo firmware that is compatible with both NESC/SNESC. Lastly, for those who want to dual use Gambatte & MGBA, I added extra command lines for both, so they can be dual used! /bin/gambatte & /bin/mgba , respectively. As always, I recommend uninstalling any previous Cores, then deleting from your User Mods folder, and replacing with these! Enjoy today's update!

Much appreciated man. I have one question if you don't mind. Is there any special hmod I should use for Sega NAOMI games? Like Marvel vs Capcom 2 and a couple others. I've tried the fba2012, and all 3 mame cores so I don't know if It's the wrong rom or what (I've download a few). Also Spiderman has been kicking my butt. It will start on mame2010 but run super slow, and not even startup on any other core.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


Just take out the "zip" in the argument and replace it with "mame2010"

System 32 Games run best on the MAME 2003 Variant in my Extras & Dependencies Folder. It will not run on any other MAME version properly. I was able to exploit the code to get them to work on that version, specifically

Here it is in action



--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Thanks maniac! Could we have a list somewhere what beat em up games work and what doesnt on mame?
Battletoads, Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, Simpsons work with mame2003.
Games i havent got working with 2003 or 2010: golden axe 1 & 2. Punisher. These are all nice side scrolling beat em up games.

You are using incorrect rom sets. Golden Axe 2 Death Adder will only work on the specially modified MAME 2003 in my Extras & Dependencies Folder. It will not run properly on any other MAME version.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

thanks for the update. Any chance to add the RTC modification to snes9x to allow the far east of eden zero translation to work?

Done

So I’m finally getting around to hacking my SNESC. I’m using Hakchi 2.21e. I’m attempting to load 199 games (all SNES) including the original 21. I also compressed all of the box art photos. Hakchi says that all of that is 376.9mb, but the 178 roms that I’m adding that are on my PC total 195mb (compressed as .zip files). What’s going on here? I’ve never played it before, so there’s no save states, and I installed the Retroarch SNES core.

You need to have the option checked, within hakchi, to add them in compressed format. Otherwise, they will be uncompressed. You can still right click on them and choose "compress", if they are in non-compressed form.

Got another System running, and will do a secondary update today
