That's what I tried. This is happening when attempting to flash the custom kernel, if that makes a difference.

Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon? Not that I've ever experienced.
Im glad to know this is possible. I want to move my Chrono Trigger save from my Pi to my Snes mini, but i dont know what any of the things you said actually mean.

It basically is with the RC2 version.
If you just want to add more games and nothing more, you don't need to wait.

I have a UK SNES Classic, and given its using USA ROMs, will PAL ROMs actually work on it?
Actual PAL SNES hardware needed a physical converter with a PAL game inserted to play US / JP games to bypass copy protection, so would this emulator bypass that, or would I need to patch PAL ROMs on an individual basis to bypass copy protection? Or does it only support NTSC version ROMs in the first place?
Tapping 'back' (right when flying left, left when flying right) when mario starts to level out will adjust him t start flying back up - if you time it well, you can gain height this way rather than just maintain it.
Pressing 'forward' when flying, he will start to dive, and tapping 'back' out of a dive will make him swoop upwards.
Basically, it works like hang gliding in Pilotwings

First press forwards to initiate a dive, and then cancel the dive by pressing backwards. Keep tapping backwards at the peak of the bounce to keep bouncing on and on.

ofc not in homebrew land. in official land, where the game never landed on VC.
Okay guys. If you want to get on this, here is an early pre-release compile that functions fully. (I'm hosting it on my webspace so you don't have to look in shady places or anything, I think I am pretty trusted here.)
Here's a quick rundown.
1) With the SNES Mini attached to your PC via USB, hold reset, turn the Mini on, wait a few seconds, then release reset. The light will not be on.
2) Go to Kernel, Dump Kernel. Install the driver if prompted. DO NOT lose this file, ever.
3) Go to Kernel, Flash Custom Kernel. Your SNES Mini is now haxed.
3a) Optional, but recommended if you aren't doing too many games. Go to Settings, Pages/Folders Structure and pick Disable.
4) From now on, simply use the Add Games button, pick your SNES ROM, fill out the details, assign some box art..
5) And when you're done, hit the Sync button bottom right.
6) Now turn the SNES off, wait a moment, then turn it back on without holding reset. The light will come on, your new games will appear.
What doesn't work right now?
Illusion of Gaia
Terranigma
Dragon Quest III
Star Ocean
Tales of Phantasia
Street Fighter Alpha 2
Far East Eden of Zero
Great Circus Caper
Top Gear 3000
Dragon Ball Z Hyper Dimension
What games exhibit problems?
Treasure of the Rudras (hi-res text is blurry)
Seiken Densetsu 3 (hi-res components are blurry)
Uniracers (opponent always drawn in center of screen)
Smash Tennis (screen stretches outside of the confines of the TV)
Earthworm Jim 2 (audio issues)
Krusty's Super Fun House (graphics corruptions)
Air Strike Force (no shadow, garbled graphics at briefing, blurry hi-res text)
Thanks Robin! Oh happy day.

Anyone someone will software mod a home button solution? Sucks you have to manually handle the device every time to just change games (or use a wii pro thingie).
How's the input lag though? Generally synching in that manner would incur at least an additional 1-2 frames of lag.
That's one area I have to applaud the SNES Classic. Input lag is minimal.

The hakchi stuff posted will let you reset with down and select.

AFAIK the thing Robin64 is linking lets you soft reset with down+select

anyone else tried Super Street Fighter 2. So far its the only one that wont work.
Robin64 shared a method to get 40 games on a single screen. You'll need to play around with the boxart sizes.
You shouldn't have an issue with the cables they sell at (let's say) Best Buy.
You'd need multiple extensions to create a delay problem.
Thanks for the help! I can't seem to get it to work though. (Apologies for the largish pics)
I took my save frontmission.srm, renamed it to cartridge.sram and pulled it into a hex editor:
Went to Analysis, Checksums and selected SHA-1:
Copied that and put it at the bottom and saved:
Then I made a new file, copied that in there, and saved it as cartridge.sram.hash:
Then I uploaded it to the game folder and it still deleted them and created a new save. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

What's the difference between the US and Japanese versions? Didn't the Super Famicom Mini come with SSF2 instead of SF2 Turbo?
Do extension cables ever add lag? Wireless does
Extension cables just physically extend the wire, there's no processing or anything going on
ok ill have to look for it. although i dont really mind the boxart scroll on the bottom going offscreen. I just wanna makes sure its ok having enough on the main listing.
i bought this 2pack on tuesday, arrived today (friday) here in ohio.

i offered him $6 and it was insta-accepted so you can prolly go lower.
It's there for me too.
Thanks. Makes sense.
I've had experiences in the past with extension cables would add lag, but they may have been bad.
Will check this out. Thank you.

I'm not sure. What's the exact size of your Front Mission save before the hash is added to the end?
Edit: Never mind, I can see the file size on the hex editor screenshot. It looks like you're doing exactly the same thing I did, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Just to reduce the number of variables, I wouldn't bother with the .hash file because the emulator doesn't care if it exists.

that's why retroarch is so good, enabling the hard gpu sync option with the setting to 0 will give you an even more responsive experience then the snesc. you can also muck around with frame delay and vysnc swap interval to reduce it even further.

But three of the games on the SNES classic had never been released on the VC (one of which had never been released, period). Before it was revealed, people would have said the same thing about Yoshi's Island and Star Fox being on the SNES classic, and nobody would have seen Star Fox 2 coming.

Certain ones do, and certain ones don't. I've tried out Wrecking Crew 98 and Shin Megami Tensei, both of them have worked for me with no issues. Shin Megami Tensei even has a mod for automapping that's working too. Fire Emblem 4, however, crashes on startup for me. It's kind of like how certain games work or don't work right now, just kind of a grab bag issue.
On a similar note, patched Super Mario All-Stars (the SMB1/LL brick physics fix) works too.

I didn't even realize this before, but when the official hack gets released, it's only going to work with Windows, huh?
Also, any updates on the official hack?

They made a SNES port.

This is not true, SMW ground scrolls with a slight hiccup even on a CRT with original hardware.
Thank you
Core games are in a read-only area, so cannot be removed, only hidden (if you choose). Adding new games will not remove the core games.
Wondering again, can you add patches to the games already included? Can I, for example, apply the patch that changes Links hair color for AlttP, or do I have to add an additional patched version of the game?
If its the latter, how do I hide the original game so as not to have dupes on the main menu?
Also, whats the easiest tool to patch games these days?

So, anyone who wants to buy extension cables from a gaffer, send me a PM.
The "core" games are store in a read-only area of the system memory, so I doubt you'll be able to patch the existing roms. Unless there's a way to apply the patches on the fly, you'll likely have to add your own patched roms. Hackchi should allow you to hide the "core" games on the homescreen.
Full disclosure: I'm not a modder, so I may be wrong.
