I made a simple cover for Shin Megami Tensei if... because I could not find one:

SNES Mini Classic Hacking | More games, more borders, more gooder.
- Thread starter Robin64
- Start date
I was getting up to speed with the latest hacking stuff, having heard of the many improvements on latest HAKCHI CE and about MAME compatibility, and installed the new version. Flashed the SNES I was using, with a folder system and many games, since I thought I read this wouldn't affect save games and save states.
After the successful update, it only showed the original games in the unit, so I press Synchronize since I hoped it would display the stuff I already had in memory, and now I have a perfectly working unit without the games I was playing and their respective saves.
Any way to recover that stuff?

This topic on reddit should answer your problem : seems to be a common issue on the last CE version : https://www.reddit.com/r/miniSNESmo..._updating_hakchi_all_my_added_games_are_gone/
Thanks. Maybe it's better to mention this here: should your added roms not show when updating your HAKCHI, flag "separate games storage" in options.
Having so many problems with this update, yeeessh. Took so many tries to get this working vs running at 1st try with version 2. Flash would get stuck, not recognize drivers and unit, whatever.
VERY sad to have lost save and states for games I was playing. No way at all to recover those after flashing the new kernel and synching back the old games, right?

Kouryuu No Mimi v2.0 translation works in Canoe, I made a patch to correct the rom size in the header since canoe seems to choke on these things https://www.sendspace.com/file/hbczg8
thanks, i havent tested this game but i'll take your word for it. added to the sheet
Is there a way to correct these borders?

Edit: from what I saw, the original game has this border, not just the translation. I remember to read sometime ago that Dragon Quest games on the snes where made a smaller resolution than the other games.

I've had this amazing dream for a while about how I want my boot screens. Currently They're just a splash of the original logos for my NES and SNES. Ultimately what I want is this scene: Fade in Nintendo logo with Mario coin sound of the era > Fade in SNES/NES logo.
Some time has passed since I thought of it. Can I make this happen now?

They really don't see the "Compatibility List" link on the sidebar? So much misinformation about #CANOEBOYZ

Downvoting Megaverso in particular who lists a bunch of games where every single works in Canoe.
Finally I got GBA and NES working! It was after I changed from gbSP to mGBA and installed the Cores once again.
SNES: When I add Illusion of Gaia, SFA2 and Terranigma I get the message "there's a patch..." but immediatelly another notice pops up "this seems to not work, do you want to download a 3rd party emulator?"
I changed back to Canoe from the automatically assigned Snes9x on all of those roms and all starts with a Retroarch "loading..." briefly poping up and Gaia worked, Terranigma did not, SFA2 freezed at the "Loading..."
I changed back to Snes9x on those two and added --retroarch in command line and all seems to work fine except SFA2 stops for some seconds on "Fight!" in "3,2,1 Fight!"
I can get FFV and Ganpuru work without any translation patches but with those FFV doesn't start and Ganpuru just stops after the first splash screen.
I have FFV on GBA now but the sound sounds better on SNES I guess.
I notice that all games are compressed to 7z by default but could it be better to run some games uncompressed?
Do you really have to add the "--retroarch" in command line?

I'm not familiar with Retroarch, sorry. But the reason Hakchi prompts a "patch" is because there's a patch file included in the directory.
Generally, you should say NO to this prompt, and patch it yourself. But this is for the built-in emulator "Canoe" -- retroarch should support games right out the gate.
Why people prefer Canoe over Retroarch is a list all its own but it comes down to preference.

Re: Translation patches, those can be very difficult and confusing to get working, but they DO work. Usually this is what I had to do (all manually, even with the latest updates):
1. Add ROM header
2. Apply translation patch
3. Remove ROM header
4. Add to Hakchi
5. Change parameters and apply patches in Hakchi per individual instructions for your game
6. Pray and test it
This solved Ganpuru and I got FFV to start for some seconds with the major translation patch
+ typo patch applied directly after one another but then the screen got black with music still playing.
It seems to work well with just the major translation patch.
edit: SOLUTION!:
Ok, after carefully reading the README file of the typo patch I found this "Also, make sure you use an unheadered rom."
so by following this method I got FFV to work:
1. Add ROM header (started Tush, browsed up Japanese FFV sfc file which automatically unheadered the file,
then clicked "Add header" - maybe this step is unnecessary)
2. Apply translation patch (RPGe-patch to Japanese FFV sfc file)
3. Remove ROM header
4. Apply typo patch (Legend of the Crystals to Japanese FFV sfc file)
5. Remove ROM header
6. Add to Hakchi
I also tested making folder structures by clicking "Structure" >> "Custom" and creating Game Boy, GBA, NES and SNES RPG-folders.
I tried drag and drop each ROM inside each folder and I had to enlarge the window since it wouldn't scroll down
so I guess one would have problems on a smaller screen :D (Guess you could right click and "cut" and "paste" though)
There was definitely a command you could apply for SNES to just have scanlines on every game (no crt filter). I did it on mind. Pretty sure it was just the same command line argument that I entered on the NES classic. However, I did this almost a year ago, so not sure if anything has changed with newer version of Hackchi...
I tried a bunch of ways to get translation patches to work on the SNES Fire Emblem games but always to failure. Maybe this method will work? Anyone have luck with any of those?
Couple questions here regarding arcade emulation:
1) noticed in retroarch menu that they implemented an achievement system. Think it's super cool, but I'm dubious it could work on SNES Mini, right?
2) what's the most up to date list or working MAME rom around? Found one on reddit but it's pretty barebones.

Sluffy did make a patch, crimson1.bps, which I thought got it working. But I can't find it hosted any more. demi you got it?
But also Bosco posted this on romhacking.net:
Yep I have the patch for it, from what I've heard the complete game is playable.

If you want to add extra patches, such as the Seiken Densetsu 3 translation, then use SFROM Tool's IPS patch function. That is, always add the original ROM first before any hacks, then press F1 to bring up the Advanced Window and choose your IPS patch from there. Try not to load an already patched ROM into SFROM Tool, the checksums will be entirely different and it may not be recognised.
Totally missed this point, though I must say it's not F1 on my computer but Ctrl+Alt+E to bring up the SFROM Tool's Advanced Window
and then click on the "Add an IPS:" in the right lower corner.
When trying this method I got Clock Tower, FF4,5,6 etc. to not work neither in canoe nor retroarch so had to disable the sfrom tool. Need to read up more about this, oboy, oboy.
Could play Clock Tower unmodded in Japanese in Canoe though.

Hey guys, after parting with my SNES classic last year, I've missed it over the NES Classic that I have now so I bought one this weekend.
Now, I had Hakchi ce and I got a prompt to update to ce 3.5.1 so I did. I attempt to flash it and everything and I notice I got a prompt that my system was taking too long to reboot. So I hit okay and I guess I didn't realize that it never really finished flashing or something because Hakchi read the SNES when it was plugged in. I attempted the USB hosting and when some arcade ROMs weren't working, I realized I hadn't put in Bios files and all that, plus I just shoved a bunch of them on there and there were too many duplicates and such.
Anyways, my problem is now that I tried to just restore my SNES classic but I don't know where I made a mistake or if it just stopped working but when ever I try to flash/repair/sync it gives me the too long to reboot message. I plugged in the HDMI and saw that the knock knock splash screen shows but it just hangs there. So I know it's turning on and it starts to get written to, but it can never finish. Even resetting/Factory attempts stop right at the end for this message. What can I do to fix this? If I unplug everything, then back in, I do boot up normally without the splash page.

So I decided to update my SNES classic to latest Hackchi. What's the difference between using the SFrom tool in Hackchi and the one from Dark Akuma?
Hi,
I dont use SFROM but from my understanding both are exactly the same. Latest Hakchi "integrates" the tool if you choose to do so, it is a toggle afaik.
DDS and Tom released Majin Tensei 2: Spiral Nemesis
I havent tested it on Canoe, but the Japanese version works fine (though so did Tenshi No Uta)
Works just fine on Canoe

Hey, this is a really dumb question and has been asked many times before I'm sure --
I've changed computers since the last time I hacked the crap out of my SNES. I did it back in December of last year. I really love my SNES, but wouldn't mind adding borders now or other games (some other rare RPGs yada yada). Is there a way to continue modifying my SNES as is with a new version of Hackchi, or do I need all of my original files and programs? (I don't want to lose all of my cool stuff!)

If I'm patching games, and the patch is in the category of 'fix' or 'addendum' would this be the only patch I need to make, or do I need to patch it with an old patch, and then patch it with the addendum patch?
I'm sure this has been asked before but is there a simple or easy guide or method to import saves?
The way I play games like DKC or Yoshis Island is that I'll go and play some levels I want to but I can't be bothered finishing it myself.
Lazy I know but I was wondering if it were possible.
