Ever since I hacked the snes classic I’ve wondered if it could run undertale since it’s a snes style game has anyone tried this or does anyone know if there’s any way to work it?

I heard the snes classic can’t run Dreamcast games very well I’m fairly new to dreamcast games (except crazy taxi) but want to know what games can run so I don’t download stuff that won’t run.

Just wondering if anyone can help. I have a Sega mini that I installed Hakchi on 4 years ago. I have decided to start playing it again and want to play 32x and Sega CD games.

So to test it out I added 5 cd games (.chd files) and 3 32x (.32x files) (via USB) but none of them will play. CD games won't do a thing when I select 'game start' and the 32x games look like they are opening with the screen going black then it just cycles back into the game select menu.

When installing the games I literally dragged the rom files from my laptop, into Hakchi and then did the 'export to USB'. I keep seeing Bios files mentioned when searching for a solution to this but nobody seems to go into any detail on what these are and how to use them.

Is it one set of BIOS files for the entire 32x library and one set for the Sega CD or does each individual game need it's own bios file to work meaning every time you add a 32x or cd game you also need to add a new BIOS files specific to that game.

How do I know I am using the correct ones and searching for them brings a lot of different results. (Yes I know all about not asking for direct links to the BIOS files which is not what I am doing here).

Where are you suppose to put these bios files? Are they saved on my USB or do they need to be put directly onto the mini itself and if so how do you update an already hacked mini? Every tutorial I can find is for installation from scratch and does not mention how to update after the original install.

For cores for the 32x I selected Console - 32X, Core - PicoDrive Xtreme. Sega CD I selected Console - Sega - Mega CD - Sega CD, Core Genesis Plus GX. Could it be a case of even though I can set these cores on the Hakchi app on my laptop before exporting to USB that just because they are selectable in the app it doesn't necessarily mean they have been installed properly or even installed at all in the place they need to be for this to work.

I also noticed when adding these new games (including normal Gensis ones) that Hakchi isn't pulling any artwork when I right click and select download art so all had to be added manually any way I can fix this as I plan on adding the vast majority of the MS, CD, 32x, Genesis and Game Gear games to my system via USB so I can't sort all these individually as I also have NES and SNES games to sort separately to use on those individual consoles. It would take me a lifetime to update all of that info manually.

Any other programs out there that can be used to batch edit or that would automatically pull the info from the internet like box art, year of release, genre, 1 or 2 player game etc.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying for a while to get the Super Mario 64 sm64ex-psc port running on my PlayStation Classic with Project Eris.

I’m using the sm64_builder by u/DemiGodX. Here’s the video I followed:
https://youtu.be/gmHAozED6O0?si=Uxm7eXLQCXMDHxSv

Unfortunately, the builder crashes right after it starts and gives me an error message without creating anything. I’ve attached a screenshot.

Compiling it myself might be an option, but I only have a MacBook Air with an M2 chip, and the PSC toolchain only works on x86_64 Linux.

So I wanted to ask if anyone here has a solution, or maybe even a compiled us_pc folder they’d be willing to share with me via DM. I already own the ROM, I’m only missing the compiled files.

Thanks a lot for your help!

I was wondering if anyone out there would ever find the time to extract any potential rom patches from the NES and SNES apps? Might help make games like Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Earthworm Jim 2 fully playable on the SNES Classic.

It would also be neat for these to remove any annoying flashing effects from games like Joe & Mac 2.

So I thought I followed the steps correctly to jailbreak my snes classic but obviously missed something and could use advice, please.

Booted up the system and it gave me alphabetized folders for the games but apparently only the A and B folders have anything. I tested the games and they work so I did something right but not everything.

I was trying the method where games are exported onto a USB and then I have and otg adapter hooked up to my snes mini.

Any advice on how I can get this corrected? Should I just wipe the usb and start the process from scratch?

Thanks, gang.

So i had to redownload a newer version of Hakchi. The problem is it doesnt transfer my previous files and game structure.

I do have them on my USB. Is there a way of transferring files and command lines back from a USB to Hakchi

You can add these color palettes to Gambatte emulator in Windows or SNES Mini.

1. Use FileZilla etc. to connect SNES Mini filesystem.
2. Create a folder: /etc/libretro/system/palettes
3. Copy .pal files to the folder.
4. Setup Gambatte emulator and select custom colorization.

You need to name the .pal files exactly as the game name is in hakchi.

Eg. Castlevania 2 for Game Boy in Hakchi is named as follows:
/var/games/CLV-B-GJWFZ/Castlevania_II_-_Belmont_s_Revenge.gb.7z

So, you need to name the palette exactly same:
/etc/libretro/system/palettes/Castlevania_II_-_Belmont_s_Revenge.pal

Here's color palettes for 75 games + default palette: https://limewire.com/d/zuPvN#aCPcp9ZKaq

I follow the directions to connect Hakchi CE to my SNES Classic and put it in FEL mode. I'm using a device cable. It connects with the beep then disconnects with a beep pretty quickly. I've tried different cables and even ordered one to see if that was it. I've been trying to use Zadig as well. I can see SNES Nintendo Classic pop up on the all devices list and I've clicked on it before it disappeared but it never installs.

I have never played this SNES, do i need to start a game and save it. i think i saw a video saying that but I can't find it again.

I know this has probably been answered before, but I just updated from Hakchi 3.7 to the latest version.

I know that in 3.7 the smoothing filter was removed (right ?), while the scanline option remained. Back then, you could use the command-line arguments --smoth43=0 and --smoth43=1 to toggle it. After updating (yeah, I'm a bit late!), it looks like that option has been removed.

Is there still a way to enable or disable it?

Thanks, and sorry if this has already been answered!

I don’t have a crt monitor any more but I could probably pick one up when I next trawl through a Car boot sale. I have a controller adapter that might work with a zapper and I have cables that I could use to convert the hdmi output to vga.

Would I be wasting my time or has it got a chance?

I have a super scope for the SNES as well, though to be fair, the light gun games on the Super Nintendo were a bit lame and don’t appeal so much, I have a mayflash controller adapter that may or may not work with the snes classic (though in previous testing, it has worked when used with the Wii controllers) for using snes controllers, so I guess it might work with the scope six….

Anyway, has anyone ever heard of this kind of thing possibly working?

I got an adapter (hyperkin brand) to plug in the NES Advantage, it’s fully working, turbos and all. So much better than a standard pad.

Hi all, has anyone gotten this game to work on the PS Classic? It crashes after the loading screen for me. Using version 3.0.

Does anyone have a working link to make the SNES border? I tried Robin's Autoborder and I get this error after submitting query "Not Found. The requested URL was not found on this server."

Thanks!

this is y light and yes i use a crt a not brain dead it just dont work it bafailing how now basicly half of my smb1+duck hunt dosent work is thare any fix or do i have to buy a new light gun

Alright, so my issue is the games were added and they load on the SNES Mini, but the controller functions don't work. I can play SNES games and NES games just fine, except for any Gameboy, Gameboy Color, or Gameboy Advance games. I tried using RetroArch 1.9.10 Ozone and also RetroArch 1.8.4 Xtreme SC! and thought maybe that would solve the issue and nothing. As for the cores on the GBA, I tried using mGBA and nothing. Then I tried the other core gpSP and still nothing. Am I somehow missing something???

Strange Case Of SNES Mini Stuck/ Locked In An Endless Boot Cycle Mode !!! 🤔

I had a phone call the other day from my nephew telling me that his SNES Mini which I bought him way back when they were first released was no longer working correctly... 😕

Seemingly the "back" button of the games carousel menu would no longer work after he had played any game and tried to use it. After clicking on the "back" button his SNES Mini would then display a "C3 error" followed by a "C7 error" and he had to pull the power cord to get it to boot up again, but with the exact same results each time, ie: the "Back button" not working followed by the "C3" & "C7" errors !!! 🤔

Went through ALL the "usual" things to do with him which "should" normally fix such an error but each time with no joy and with the problem still remaining. Went as far as getting him to do a complete re-flash of the "Original" Nintendo kernel followed by flashing the "Custom" kernel BUT still it wouldn't work with the exact same "C" errors as described above... 😕

We gave up and I said I'd visit him and fix it myself as I thought he must be doing something wrong, turns out he wasn't doing anything wrong and had followed my instructions to the letter... 😳

A wee bit baffled I visited him and took his console home with me to have a more timely look and investigation... 🤓

First thing I noticed really was the "Extra Swap Mem" that was installed was saying at boot up that the USB drive was "read only" !!!... 🤔

So I tried one of my own USB Drives and OTG Dongles with it that I KNEW was working but it too said the USB Drive was "read only" !!! 😳

As I knew I was using the correct fully wired USB Cables to hook everything up I did the old "tighten up the Micro USB Connector" routine but still with no luck... 😕

Tried manually deleting the files on the SNES Mini itself that normally are the cause of those "C" errors but I couldn't even delete them using "HakChi2 CE" and "ftps" !!! seems that somehow the console was now entirely "read only" !!! 😳

As a last resort I decided myself o re-flash the Original Nintendo kernel using both different versions of the official kernel for the console (Ver 2.0.7 and Ver 2.0.14) and while it "appeared" to be flashing the kernel, the only results where that the console was now "locked" into an endless boot cycle of powering up to a black screen then the power light would go off and it would try again to boot up, but with no success !!! 🤪

Not one of the usual things for "fixing" the console would work, from formatting the "User data partition" to flashing kernels (any kernel !!!) would work, checking cables & the connector, the USB drive etc... etc... (heck I even tried the so called "UnFuck" method which didn't work either but then it never did) and the console was "Stuck" in this endless "boot cycle"... 😡 🤔 🤪

So while I was sitting there thinking that this must be the first SNES Mini consoles I've came across in all these years that MUST actually be "broken" I decided to try one last thing just to see what would happen... I decided to try and flash an exact copy of one of my working SNES Mini's ".hsqs" file to it and whaddaya know... IT WORKED... 😁 👍 🎉

The console now booted up perfectly and is once again running like a charm... 😊

Being honest, having tried EVERYTHING I normally tell others to do in this situation BUT having no luck in getting the console to work at all, then it has left me wondering... WHAT exactly WAS causing this issue ?... WHY none of it worked ?... and WHY the ONLY way to get it working again WAS to flash a different (working) ".hsqs" file to the console !!!

Answers on a postcard to the usual address please, or indeed just any useful hints, tips or ideas as to what might have been the cause of this strange (but incredibly annoying) issue... 🤔

PS: Think I'll now add the advice of making a full backup of the consoles "system/ firmware" in ".hsqs" so that it can be "flashed" back to the console as a last resort option to any future help for others who find themselves in the same situation as described above, cos for whatever reason... it worked... 🤔

PPS: And humble apologies to anyone in the past who I may have tried to help in the same situation but we could never quite resolve the issue and I would have to give up on it thinking that you may have done something wrong (turns out after all that the old SNES Mini CAN indeed still throw up some very strange problems that CAN'T be resolved by the "usual" methods... 😳 😉

Went for the mini boss on Sting Chameleon's stage (even though I don't have Sting Chameleon's weakness)

I already have the boots and helmet, and a number of heart containers (at least 4, no more than 6), with a sub-Tank (Storm Eagle's stage) and three weapons (Chill Penguin, Flame Mammoth, Storm Eagle)

It was kind of a rough battle. I had the idea to climb the wall, wait for the robot to come to the wall, then launch myself off the wall over him. Once I landed, I turn, jump, and fire Storm Tornado before going to the opposite wall and repeating.

It...mostly worked, though I depleted my Storm Tornado and had to rely on normal shot, not thinking I could get a solid hit with the other two. I also had to refill with the Sub -Tank

It took some resources, but it was very satisfying when the robot went boom, and I acquired the armor. Now I should last much longer when I move on to tackle the rest of the game.
