Nes emu had argument for ntsc/pal version imagine snes has too

Hey DNA64 would you mind if I (or you) post my tutorial video? I actually recorded it while following your tutorial lol.

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

Just wanted to point out that these video tutorials tend to get outdated really fast, once newer versions of these tools get released. Github pages can get updated easily. Doesn't mean they get, but from my experience it's easier to get an up-to-date tutorial in written form than in video form.

Thank you, nothing similar on snes classic then.

The opengl filter does that open options for custom filters?

I'll post what I saw on GitHub just now here Looks like release candidate https://github.com/ClusterM/hakchi2/commit/1c9388f8e7f7f5200e8a73d0690977337ee3bcce Heh heh heh XD

Seriously dude... you are also committing now on issues on the Github page of Cluster? Are you a developer?

Thanks! And thank you for writing a very easy and clear tutorial.

I try. I still think it's a mess tbh and plan on cleaning it up, yeah I suffer from OCD just a little lol
I realized I left out a few tidbits I still need to include and have since updated the guide to fill in a few of those as well as clarify somethings.

I agree. I made the tutorial because people are sometimes more comfortable in watching how to do something rather than reading it. A couple days ago there was no tutorial at all so I figured the people who didn't want to wait for an official release and who were on the fence about hacking their new system could see how easily It's done and not stress over things.

Hey if it was clear enough to let me get things up and running then It's great.

do we still need the unofficial version or do we just use the one from github now

Unofficial.

Got a tutorial video here I made you just have to convert smc,sfc to sfrom then "brac hakchi" does the rest. Has Anyone figured out how to get more games then 30 without issues?

 

[keithelmcity]

with hakchi2_0.20.rc2.zip do i have to still use .sfom files or can i use .zip ?

I have about 50-ish now with minor issues.

 

[rhester72]

with hakchi2_0.20.rc2.zip do i have to still use .sfom files or can i use .zip ?

Neither. Uncompressed, unheadered raw SFC ROMs only.

 

[keithelmcity]

whats the most game has anyone got installed on there snes ?

 

[the_randomizer]

Okay so does the latest RC work properly with dumping, flashing and restoring the backed up kernel without error? And NAND dumping is still very experimental? I'd like to know if I should stick with that BRAC version or the latest build

You mean the most recent build? Let me know how it fares
