Try the newer version of Hakchi2..earlier ones had an issue with the extended fonts... https://github.com/ClusterM/hakchi2/releases
I've not got it to work yet either
Remember that if anyone can't get Level 2 of Battletoads to work, you can skip the level easily. It's a nothing level.
Skip the level and then join us in the NES megathread as we're trying to beat Battletoads this month.

Last I heard All Nippon was not dumped yet. It's a rare game that goes for 500 dollars or more. What is available now is a rom hack designed to look like it and that seems to be enough for people.
I've found references to games being patched, in the past, to work on many emulators. Many of them end up being patched to MMC3, which is one of Nintendo's mapper (I believe). Some old reference I found showed Crisis Force being patched to MMC3 mapper, but it was only a reference. I think it all depends on which mapper and ROM being patched. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do it. It may very likely be a manual process.
Worked fine for me. Drop the ' if it's giving you trouble, also make sure to kill the seizure filter or bombs will ruin you.

I took all the original games off my Famicom Mini knowing they could be put back on - which I'd like to do with some of them. But the list of the 30 games in Hakchi2 is the list of NES Mini games. I assume they correspond to the 30 games on the Famicom Mini, but is there a way to tell which is which other than by trial and error of putting them back on/off again one by one?

I know the games that are on each system - The thing is hakchi lists the NES Classic games under the '30 games' tab on the menu even if you have a Famicom Mini connected. So as far as I can tell, there's no way to see which game is which.
Unless I reset it by putting back the original kernel and starting everything from scratch? But even then if I wanted to only remove certain games I guess it would be a case of trial and error because the names in hakchi correspond to the Nes Classic, not the Famicom Mini.
I know I could put the roms of the original games on, but the Makaimura rom had some graphic issues that were not present in the original version on the Famicom Mini, so I would just prefer to restore them.

Got mine all setup this morning. I kept running into a weird error in Parallels on my Mac while trying to load it, but I think that Windows 7 install is borked anyway. I switched to a spare PC laptop and it went off without a hitch. Can't wait to have an office Tetris tournament after work on Friday!

Which version of Tetris did you add? I chose the original one developed by Nintendo (that's the one I had as a child), but I'm considering Tengen Tetris and Tetris 2 as well. I don't want to add too many games though, because I want at least 3 save slots for each game.

It was a great game, damn hard. And you had to be a wizard at the game to get the best ending.

Tengen, that's the legit one IMO.
Over on Reddit they've found out how to disable the epilepsy filter and add scan lines without the CRT smear.

Awesome! Dropping the ' made it work for me!!! Thanks!
Maybe I did something wrong yesterday. Will try again later. What do you mean by seizure filter?
D.Lo
Member
Oh man I'll try this later. Does it apply to the CRT selection, or the 4:3 selection I wonder...
Like I have my NES Mini modified as my 'main' mini system and was going to leave my mini Famicom stock... but now I feel I might go in and 'perfect' the Famicom too.

I used Summer Recca Pure hacked rom which makes certain modes otherwise hidden selectable from the start, if that helps.
If you delete
Code:
--enable armetIt put scanlines on everything for me when i tried it on Double Dragon.
I thought of making a "famiclassic" edition with all games from both systems and I quickly tried a bunch of the english translation versions of the Japanese games on my classic and they seemed to work fine, but it got too much with those and the games I want on there. I'd prefer it to have space for at least one save state per game really...another thing im tempted/toying with is having 2 copies of hakchi2 on my computer and using one to flash for 2 player games for when friends come over and one for single player titles
Here is all of the known command line arguments.
Some interesting stuff in there.

What games are known to have graphic effects that require this to be disabled besides Recca?
Zelda 2, Castlevania 1-3, Ninja Gaiden 2, Recca, Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior 1-4, basically anything that flashes.
Quickest one off the top of my head to find is Castlevania, grab a cross and keep moving. Watch the screen.

When the bomb drops you basically lose the screen.
Edit: Here, this is the best example, other than him missing the rock throw like a noob.

Does it add scanlines to all graphic options or just remove the blurriness from CRT mode?

Adds then to 4:3 and Pixel Perfect modes. CRT filter mode remains unchanged.
Gotcha. Thanks! Will have to try this on a few games and see what I prefer.
I've been duped! I want my money back, pronto. Could have sworn the dump was the real deal.
Seriously, it's a neat reproduction of the hack. I'd never thought twice or looked into the history of the game and assumed it was dumped a long time ago. Regardless, works well on the NES Mini and is a neat shuffle of Mario and Mario 2 levels.

Does anyone know what the issue with mapper 23 is? Says it can't load game due to Mapper 23.

Probably not a mapper the emulator supports.

I'm guessing Nintendo is going to remove the USB for any future releases.

I wish someone would mod it with a 72 pin cart slot and dump a custom UI in it. If that's even possible?
Get on it benheck!
Thanks so much for your answers. I might hold off on hacking mine for a while to see if people keep being happy with their hacked systems, and perhaps to see if the attract mode feature can be updated yet somehow, but the latter two answers you provided do make me feel more or less safe enough to give it a go at some point.
To be clear, I'll never need 80+ games on there necessarily, just 20 or so more to fill in the most pressing gaps for me (Tetris, Faxanadu, TMNT 2 and 3, Bionic Commando, Crystalis, StarTropics II, a few more Mega Mans, Mighty Final Fight, Power Blade 1 + 2, Ice Hockey - which I still can't believe Nintendo skipped by the way - and maybe a handful more...).
Yeah, unfortunately Mario will just skip those games. Which is a bummer because I love that feature, too! I just leave it on when I go to bed sometimes, it's very relaxing
Ah, I had a feeling he might. That's too bad.
Just like you, I also put the attract mode on to have some fun and relaxing background visuals and noises! I always like attract modes and demo's in games in general for that kind of use. (As a sidenote: a game like SFV not having any attract mode was kind of a bummer for me, though I might be almost alone in that complaint.) Hopefully the software can be updated to feature every game as that would rock. (Then again, if nobody else besides people like us is asking for it, maybe the chances are low...)
Yep, that's my fear as well, which would suck as that would probably mean no Secret of Mana, FFVI and Turtles in Time on my device in the future (unless Nintendo adds them, which I doubt). Or, if they want to be particularly protective, they might even reconsider doing any follow-ups like a Snes Classic completely (unless the success of the Nes Classic and its profits are being the bigger draw still).
Oh snap megaton.

So I just tested the classic mini for the first time and holy shit the controller sucks. Down on the dpad registers as left/right as well if your not PERFECTLY centered. Can't duck in SMB3 without Mario running in some direction. Anyone else have this problem?
Not unless you use a Virtual Machine

Super Mario Bros. 3 as well. Whenever you grab a "?" orb after defeating a mini-boss or grabbing a wand after defeating a Koopa Kid.
God I hate this epilepsy filter. I knew there would be a catch to the removal of the dark filter on the VC. What's especially bad about the Battletoads case is that it doesn't even seem to prevent the flashing correctly, and just hampers gameplay. What a shitshow.
