Afraid not. Some people report success in various virtual environments running Windows, though.

Only if you add the ROM for it manually? not in the bundled version?

I would've thought so. I can't imagine anything that would affect the one on there if you've left it entirely alone.
I successfully added 20 games to my mini. I used the "Pages" option but it doesn't look any different than the "Folders" option.
Could you please explain the difference?
Also, I have read that 63 is the maximum number of games in folders. Does it mean that I can still create 4 save states for each game? 252 save states total with no C8 error?

Do your very best for Robotrek! I got my fingers crossed for you! I got a kickass boxart in the making for it! It needs a home
I find the Launchbox games database has some good art and logos on it. Just google the game name with launchbox and you can use it, as the website itself wont let you save / copy the images
Wow! Thanks! How could I miss that site?! I will definitely look into that avenue... might even redo some of my boxarts in that case!
Oh shucks! People actually like them? Well speaking of which, here is another I put together of...
Final Fight Guy.
Here is the release as seen originally in the USA... WTF?! (and the Super Famicom cover was pretty much the same)
And here is my new take for this title... Use if desired!

I was worried I might not see this thread again lol.
I have an snes but been so busy I haven't got around to doing this yet. Ive read through some of the thread but still not sure, how many games can this thing hold? Is it like 60 per page or 60 period?

I made a backup of the thread, so if something happens again we won't lose everything here.
I am not sure why, but I am obsessed with updating the main UI. The problem is some little things are really frustrating me!
I have folders on my root menu, but the fact I can push down on the D-pad and get save options is annoying. I was as looking through a bunch of stuff on the box last night to see if I could find a way to disable that.

Yay. This thread is back. Was worried I lost all this wonderful data.
Btw, does anyone have snes box art for live a live and mystic ark?
In the style of the games included if possible.
Please and thank you.

As soon as this thread came back up I stopped slacking and took care of mine. Played some Mega Man soccer last night!

Running Seiken Densetsu 3 / Secret of Mana 2 in Canoe with hi-res working.
Audio is a little wonky on hi-res screens, but nothing terrible, and I'm going to see is the low latency stuff helps.
Edit: Yep, that fixed it, near as I can tell. Might be more problems later, but in the meantime.. to run Secret of Mana 2 on the SNES Mini:
Set Preset ID to 1610 and add the command -no-lowlatency.

Very awesome, glad to see we're still getting places! I imagine all or nearly all audio problems can be fixed by using the no lowlatency honestly. Seems the poor SNES classic is getting that single core pushed a little too hard in certain games.

Mac guy here, borrowing my roomies gaming rig to *hopefully* upload a couple more snes games to my mini that I feel I MUST have. (zombies ate my neighbors)
Is there a step by step guide (explain to me like I'm 5...) guide to this??? Really wanting a handwork through this :/

Honestly, the OP is as detailed as you have to get. The process is very very simple, you can't really mess it up.
Yes, you can set custom borders on a per-game basis. There are instructions on how to do that in the OP. So when I switch from FFIV to FFV, the borders update automatically.
It really is. Once you follow the instructions once you realize how easy it is.
Just back up the kernel and you are good.

I have added a number of games and most display fine, within the 4:3 border. However some games (e.g. DKC2) overlaps the 4:3 boarder. Anyone had this before? Wondered if a pal/ntsc game may be the cause. Or the filters ?
I'm trying to setup a dual boot SNES/NES scenario. In the Reddit tutorial thread Reddit tutorial thread it says:
- Make a blank file and drop it onto hakchi to make a new "game"
- Change the command line for the game to /bin/hsqs /var/lib/hakchi/dp-nes.hsqs
What does it mean by "make a blank file"? Feel like I'm missing something stupid but I've been scratching my head for ages!

I haven't done, but I assume just right click and make a new .txt file, which you then leave empty, and remove the .txt extension.

Fantastic, thank you! This was my first command add ever and I got a C7 error... then I thought hey I should add a space between the last command and voila! Well... I won't be the one to get Star Ocean working haha

That did it. Thanks! Knew I was just overlooking something simple. Pretty cool mod. I have 170+ SNES games on there now and an icon to switch to NES Classic with 200 games on there. There's another icon in the NES Classic menu to switch back to SNES mode.
The method I used seems more advanced than this mod (and takes up less space). It allows me to do full Hakchi syncs in both SNES and NES modes so I can load separate lists of custom games onto each of them.
Only have 2 issues right now - it disables the Down+Select soft reboot and the shortcut name mixes in with all your other custom roms. I'm getting round that for now by naming the shortcut "1 - NES Classic Edition" so it appears at the start of my custom list at least. Anyone know a way to force a single game onto the main menu with the original games? Anything I can do by FTP to change this?

For someone who already added the game to their SNES Mini, do you think its playable despite the font blurriness at the beginning, or does the problem persist often throughout the entire game?
gingerbeardman
Member
Read his post again, it's a solution to the blurry font.
I have a EU SNES Mini, and Star Ocean is running on Canoe just fine for me. I didn't add anything to the command line, and I'm using the English patched, compressed ROM. Here's a screenshot of my hakchi2:
Tested the game, full audio w/ voice acting works just fine and haven't run into any glitches so far.

hakchi will have automatically added -retroarch to the command line for you when you added it.

Hi all, has anyone tried finding PAL boxarts for their games? I was thinking of replacing the NTSC boxarts with PAL versions (since I'm in AUS).
I found a couple of them but its hard to find consistently good quality images. Anyone else have a source?

I just double checked the command line to be sure and --retroarch isn't on there.
Robin64

They've done it the other way, changed /bin/clover-canoe-svch to /bin/snes. That's Retroarch.
Interesting, didn't know there's multiple ways to get Retroarch to run the game. Thanks for the info!

Thread still happenin'
Does anyone have experience getting MSX games running on their Mini, or just MSX emulation in general? I installed fmsx and the bios and I'm able to get Metal Gear and Vampire Killer running just fine. I think those are easy to do because they're cartridge based games.
I want to get Snatcher and SD Snatcher running, though, which are disk based games. I made an archive with all the DSK files, and added that to hakchi. But when selecting the game in the Mini, it just boots the bios and doesn't know what to load.
Has anyone gotten DSK msx games running on their Mini? Most of the instructions and youtube videos I've seen are just running cartridge games.

Someone literally posted a video about this a few posts above yours.
I just tested this, and everything looks fantastic but there's something up with the colors/saturation. When running properly, the colors should look like this for the character select screen:

That was Battle Dodgeball. Not sure if it has an English patch, or needs one.
Happy to help a fellow boxart artist
Ask away sir.
