Depends on which core, but for 8-bit the answer is yes. For 16-bit it varies. For other cores: no.
Then it is useless for SNES games, which defeats the whole purpose.
I'd presume TG16 or Mega Drive would be the 16bit ones cuz Y'know ... Canoe ;)
I just tested and it is good for 16-bit too. Unless you're playing one of the more intensive late-era SNES games like Pebble Beach NEW.
Did anyone take a backup of the patches from the Romhacking/Sluffy thread?
I notice that the overscan fix for Famicom Tantei Club Part II (Famicom Detective Club) is not on sendspace anymore, and not part of Robin's SFROM patch pack.

Ah ha! Thankyou. Of course. It's been a while since I patched anything, and I am rusty.
Incidentally... there is a preset ID for the game (A810) but it isn't mentioned on the sheet
Is it known that the first Breath of Fire exhibits incorrect graphics during certain segments when running in Canoe? I'm talking specifically about the Chun-Li cameo in Bleak (or rather any of the results of that little aside) where the screen doesn't drop out of black-out despite the text saying you should be seeing something. Afterwards the game runs normally far as I can see.
I wanted to see Chunners. :(
EDIT: days later, come to find that Thunder Thighs makes another cameo in the good ending if you equip Ryu with the BrokenSD when fighting the final boss, complete with her 2P CE palette swap.

I don't recall ever seeing that. Have you tried with BoF's actual PID, just to be sure? 1144 (4411 in hakchi)
A lot of issues aren't known because nobody is going to replay all these games for the sake of testing, lol. But you need more information on how you added your game.
- SFROM Tool?
- Preset ID?
Welp, odd little quirk then. Worth noting it works fine in the newer version on Canoe on the Switch, though that won't help here, but another little fix it has.
Though I wonder what it did in VC versions? Those are older Canoe and surely it worked..

Yeah, like, I found a glitched textbox issue with Illusion of Gaia that happens later in the game, so I had to look up what the text was saying to progress. Little weird things like that still happen sometimes even with the "correct" settings.
I make sure to cross check via YouTube let's plays whenever something unexpected happens in a game running in Canoe to ensure it's not a known issue on real hardware or at least on an accurate emulator (which isn't the easiest thing in the world, people out there still using ZSNES in 2019).
Is there an updated guide as to how to get the SNES mini hacked? I see the version listed in the OP for Hakchi is quite old compared to the new one in github. Is it still the same process?
I'm thinking of finally adding a Wi-Fi adapter to my Mini, specifically the SNES and PSX. I really like the idea of retro achievements for SNES games, and the latest PSX modding scene includes updates for firmware, cover art and other niceties.
Can anyone confirm if this adapter will work?
Also, I assume I'll need a dongle with more than one USB port? I've been using this one for the external storage:
If someone could point me to one that lets me attach the memory card and WiFi adapter, I'd be grateful.

I was playing Super Double Dragon with a friend, and on the train level (stage 4or 5?), once the train stopped, it took a longer time than usual to transition to the boss area. And once we beat the boss, the game never transitioned to the next level. It just stayed in a black screen with the music playing.
Has anyone finished the game using Canoe?

Not yet, but I'll run through it later today and see if it does the same thing. Though the version currently on my Classic right now is a patched Return of Double Dragon w/ altered controls so it might not behave the same way.
Edit: played to the end, no hang-ups of any kind.

Glad to hear; I've got this version on my system instead of Super Double Dragon.
When you add games do they play off the internal emulator or does it install an open source emulator?
Thanks, but hopefully someone tests the regular Super Double Dragon.
By default it uses the internal emulator, but you can also install Retroarch.
Ended up installing hakchi on my mini tonight using the newest version which from what I understand keeps the original kernel stored on the mini. If I ever want to go back to factory settings what option do I use in every kernel section?
Do you guys have experience with any of the wireless SNES controllers for the Mini?
I've searched online and see some options, but wanted to check here first before buying.

I bought the 8bitdo SF30 2.4g which only works with the mini but has lower lag than the Bluetooth version. Definitely happy with it. Same build quality as the other 8bitdo models, standard snes layout, dpad and buttons are good.
By comparison I bought the Hori Fighting Commander for the SNES mini at launch and found that the dpad really wasn't a match for the standard. 8bitdo is much closer in that respect.
The cheap eBay ones are okay is you're confident opening them up and changing the rubbers.
I have an 8bitdo SFC30. Works wonderfully. The D pad feels a bit strange at first but once you get used it just works
8bitdo make a retro receiver for the classic consoles that gets updated relatively frequently. They added support for the NES style joycons in March.
They haven't updated it yet but there will probably be a firmware update for it in a month or so.
There's a folder in CE that will be searched automatically when adding art. I can't remember what the folder name is though, but if you chuck a bunch of correctly named / nearly correctly named game art in there it does a pretty good job of matching. This guy has been compiling all the boxarts for the SNES in original format. Robin64 had a complete collection of captured game title screens somewhere (search back in this forum to find them) which worked really well. I use a square format, with original SNES box theming, and you can find most games here created by DefKorns, myself and a couple of others.
If you're using hakchi CE, you can select multiple games at once, right click, and choose "Download box art for selected games". It just uses a google image search, though, so quality will vary quite a bit.
Aside from that, therourke's advice is sound. The folder he's talking about is in the hakchi folder and is simply named "art".
What perfect timing. I'm finally redoing my SNESc and I need some new art. Thanks :D
Also, I'd like to try to replace the UIs "Super Nintendo" pic between the power and reset button. It's such a low-resolution image.
How would one go about doing that?
Yes I saw this, unfortunately I didn't add the artwork to the folder until after adding most games, so I ended up doing them manually. But good to know they update automatically if I add more games.
Yes I was doing this, but one at a time. I did find the boxart collections and used those since the quality varied too much.
I'm finally getting back into the groove, added games, boxart, and borders. Now just to assign the borders to specific games.
Hey~ Did you ever get Crimson Echoes working in Canoe without sfrom?
Slightly OT, but people might be interested. The SNES emulator used by Nintendo for 3DS VC is, in fact, another version of Canoe and @DarkAkuma updated Sfrom Tool to support it. Here you can find more details.
SNES support on 3DS is very good now - Canoe is fast and reliable on 3DS too and it's a lot more stable than Retroarch. The 240p screen is also perfect for SNES games!

Question: I've been looking at some of the latest romhacks talented folks have come up with, and was wondering if there was a method now to add a hack/patch/etc to an already-installed game without having to re-add it.
Last I recall, any modification you made to a game you already added meant that it wouldn't be recognized by the Classic anymore, so you would have to start over and add everything back (the boxart, the game info, etc).
It'd be nice if I could add in the small QoL fixes people come up with without having to reinstall the game, losing save states, etc.

Technically an IPS patcher would need to be made that just increases the offsets in the .ips by how large the .sfrom file's footer is.
Or a program that alters a .ips file to then take into account the increase.
I don't know how to make either, though. :)
