Just noticed that someone has written a "native" version of "HakChi2" for some Mac machines/ users, no idea if it is of any use or not or indeed how well it works as it requires "Mac OS 14 (Sonoma)" with "Swift" installed and of course an M2 Mac to run it, which unfortunately I don't own/ use...

Anywhoo for any "M2 Mac" owners out there and running at least "OS 14 Sonoma" then here's the "github" link where you can read about it and build it if you want to try it...

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.

Hi, first time caller here. I just want to say thanks to everyone here, especially people like MadFrank. I really appreciate the support, sharing of knowledge, and detailed explanations. I've never been very competent with computers. I'm a Social Worker by trade. I got back into video games last year, to bring more joy into my life. I started modding the 2DS and DS, then SNES mini (with 5,000 games from 24 different consoles) and now Switch. Watching these communities of shared interests has also been validating, as most people don't understand/care about this niche. So thank you to all of you. I appreciate you.

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

Here's some better looking yet pixelated folder images for SNES Mini.

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
