Does Mario All Stars not run great or does it actually just bad and i dont remember.

The control feels off to me. I own the actual cart and the Wii version so maybe im forgetting.

My dumped Kernel is in hakchi 2.20 -> hakchi2 -> dump

If anything happens to your SNES Mini once you put this image file back there it'll turn it back to normal.

The physics in SMAS are different than the NES original games. The only exception being SMB3.

You might need to apply the physics patch to your SMAS rom to see if that fixes the issue.

However in the case you want to change one of the default games like using FF6 with a fan translation as opposed to FF3 for example. You cannot hide the default games on a individual basis, you must hide all 21 of them and re-add them manually via duplicate roms that will take up additional space.

However in this case if the default 21 games are hidden and say you add a hack of Super Mario World for example. It will show up.

So you can decide to use the default 21 games plus extras you want to add, or hide them and just copy over duplicates of the ones you really want. (As in my case for hiding them to not have Kirby's Dream Course in the library for example)

...? You can hide games individually.
I definitely hid Super Ghouls'n Ghosts for the hack that reduces slowdown, and Super Mario World and added SMAS+World with the brick fix, Earthbound for MaternalBound, Secret of Mana for VWF patch, etc.

Yeah, but someone made a plugin that acts similar for retroarch iirc. It was for the NES Classic but no reason it shouldn't work here.

Hmm I'm trying to flash the newer custom kernal over the old one (due to the old one apparently having power/heat issues) but it seems to be stalling at the initial driver install.

Nope, I uninstalled nothing, just chose 'Flash Original Kernel' and it took the dumped kernel and put it back on my SNES, which started working again normally after that.

Can someone explain why choose 'uninstall' over 'flash original kernel' when reverting it to factory state?

I think the uninstall feature is to be sure that everything related to Hakchi is removed from the SNES Mini.

Maybe this is for save states leftovers from games you added previously and stuff like that, but that's just a theory so don't take my words for cash.

EDIT: Scratch that, I did a full uninstall before installing the 2.20 kernel and my save state from the end screen of TMNT4 was still there!

Gotta read the instructions. It says to flash back to stock first then flash to the latest version.

Anybody figured out if there's actually some way to use the background mask files? I was really hoping it would be a way to mask out the hue effect to only certain parts of the screen, but it seems to do absolutely nothing.

That still has the popup to install the driver, which doesn't seem to work.

Forgive my ignorance, but can I load all 3 super Star Wars games onto my SNES mini with proper artwork and save states?

Any reason why some of the games I added have some slow audio issues and that some the of the game's frames are bigger than the frames used in SNES Mini?

This is amazing, thank you for this thread! Got to relive my childhood with some battletoads double dragon today and it's just as fun and hard as I remember.

If you haven't done much of this yet, read the OP first so you have an idea of how everything works. You need to overmount the file /usr/bin/clover-canoe-shvc. Make a copy of it onto your computer, then make a text file named something like p0202_filter with two lines--
Code: 
overmount /usr/bin/clover-canoe-shvc
and a blank line underneath. Put the file you created in /var/lib/hakchi/rootfs/etc/preinit.d/

Now, edit your copy of clover-canoe-shvc based on how you want your filters to behave. There are three relevant lines here.
Code: 
keep-aspect-ratio) options="$options -filter 1 -magfilter X" ;; //4:3 mode
pixel-perfect) options="$options -filter 1 --pixel-perfect" ;;
crt-filter) options="$options -filter 2 -magfilter X" ;;

-magfilter is what controls the display filter. Set it to 3 to disable the bilinear filter, or set it to 2 to enable the horizontal-only linear filter.

-filter controls the scanline filter. You can turn it on by setting it to 2, for example if you want to use scanlines in pixel perfect mode as well.

After you set it up how you like, copy that file to /var/lib/hakchi/rootfs/usr/bin/.

This is great, thanks for sharing this :)

How do I disable the scanlines - change the setting to 1?

I can't get my dumps of Goof Troop and Panel De Pon to work. Just get a black screen every-time I try to start them.

Pretty sure you need to download them from another site unless you are ripping them yourself. I had to do this on a few fam translations different rom different results.

OMG is this possible for Star Fox 2??
Click to expand...

Yeah, though it makes the game really fast. Maybe I'm not used to it but I definitely missed out on some missiles heading to Corneria because I couldn't catch them in time with the overclocked FX lol

And this is on Normal mode.

Are you talking about overclocking it on the SNES Classic or in a PC emulator? Because in my experience, the SNES Classic emulator completely ignores the -boost-fx argument when running Star Fox 2, unless you modify the ROM to have a different preset ID. And even doing that, the hardware couldn't really keep up with the emulation with it set higher than 2.

Is there a way for me to know for sure that i have most current version of hakchi on my SNES.

I uninstalled it, flashed original kernal, and then flashed custom kernal so i could have the new version.

When you make a savestate, you can rewind like 15 sec of gameplay. It's an advertised feature by Nintendo. Not too useful a feature really I've found, maybe for showing off a cool moment.

I think it’s more like 45 seconds...and very convenient if you make a silly boneheaded mistake and you wanna go back. I love it lol

As someone who has never played it, I'd rather it be too fast and consistent in FPS than slow and janky.

As someone who has played it for over 20 years: good luck playing it at that speed and actually hitting and avoiding enemies.

That's like playing SF Turbo at 10-star speed.

Not too useful? It’s the only possible way for a human being to finish Super Ghouls and Ghosts...

Hmmm. I think there’s something afoot either with my SNES Classic or some settings I might have turned on on hatchi.

So if I flashed my Kernel and installed all my games using the RC4 tool... Is there any reasons for me to do it again with the latest version?
