Care to elaborate on the fix? Not sure I follow why this worked.Got Goof Troop working. Very easy.
Make sure your hakchi is not set to compress the game.
Now browse to the /snes_games/ folder and find the one for Goof Troop.
Open the .sfrom file in a hex editor.
Scroll allllll the way down, and change this 15 to a 14.
Hit save, sync games, enjoy Goof Troop.

I think it would look nice if you just deleted the selection boxes altogether. You can do that by editing /usr/share/ui/sprites/packed.png. I did it anyway, because I think they are rather ugly to begin with.
I need help getting my GBC RetroArch core working:
It's set up like this, but I just get a black screen.
Tried running on RetroArch on my PC and it works fine (same ROM dump)
/bin/gbc /usr/share/games/CLV-Z-HUMXM/Legend_of_Zelda__The_-_Link_s_Awakening_DX_(USA__Europe).srm.7z --retroarch
EDIT:
Discovered what I was doing wrong. I was uploading the savestate :|

Thanks, will try this tomorrow.
How do you figure this stuff out?
This is far closer to how these games should, I don't understand how Nintendo got it so wrong with the blurring.

That offset in the footer is set to 15 for HiROM and 14 for LoROM. Goof Troop is a LoROM but hakchi is setting it to be a HiROM.
Oh this one wasn't too bad, I still have the Python script from before hakchi was a thing, so I compared the file that made to the one hakchi made, and this was the difference it found.

Oh. :3 Now this I can get behind. Does it require FTP access, or can it be done via hakchi2?

Good stuff all the same, thanks man

Thank you both! Man Hakchi2 really is idiot proof, I was trying to follow the directions and watching a YouTube video and I'm pretty sure I fucked up multiple times doing all the steps and somehow, inexplicably, it all worked and now I can play Rescue Rangers with my dad on Monday
So if I want to add more games, I just plug it back in to my computer, turn it on, run Hakchi and sync the new file? I don't have to go through putting it into developer mode or anything? Wow this is so cool, can't wait till Kirby, Bust a Move, and Krusty are working to bless my SNES Classic with them.
No, unfortunately. You can configure Retroarch overlays.

Neat! I wonder if this will work with some of the other problem games.
Too bad.
The overlay isn't what bothers me. It's more of the lack of CRT filter. I like my scanlines.

Good job.
Is any progress being made (by anyone in the modding scene) to get Rudrass or Seiken Densetsu 3 working?

Great work! Hopefully we can get other problematic games figured out (I'm hoping for SSF2 myself at the moment).

From what I've seen, most every time someone reports audio issues / stuttering, its because they're using a PAL ROM
Tried the retrostation. Not perfect, but it's alright. Try out the CRT-Mode!
Keep in mind, I'm not using photoshop and am not an expert. It's fun nonetheless.

Your Legally Purchased Original Cartridge That You Dumped Yourself.
You won't get any other answer here since anything else is piracy.
...Did you not get the message when your post was deleted before when you were asking for ROM sites? lol
You cannot talk about piracy here.
So I decided I would take this slow. I was able to hack the system and add a couple of games. I also hid a game (Super Mario World) and added All Stars + SMW. I also added some custom art (Thanks PMS341 - Love the full box versions).
So I guess the next question (?) is how to change some of the icons down below on the scroll. I know you did some Robin64?
Edit: Or is it better to find a way to get rid of them all together?

is there some variance to how much storage can be available on a specific unit, or do i possibly have some junk files remaining somewhere?
image in the OP says 300MB where i have 258.2 available. this is after a complete uninstall, original kernel flash, factory reset, and reflash of custom kernel in 2.0.20.15 with no games added yet

The Wii U eshop or the Wii eshop. They both have different selections and hacking your Wii U or the Wii section of your Wii U is pretty easy so you can dump them.

Anyone else having issues getting Tetris & Dr. Mario to work? I keep getting a C7 error.
Both load smoothly via Retroarch, but I'd love to see them used by Canoe.

Do you have Retroarch modules installed?

Is there any way to modify the firmware so the controller reset button combination (L+R+Select+Start) will bring up the SNES Classic's menu instead of resetting the game? It would be handy to be able to do this instead of getting up to press reset.

I asked the same question earlier
if you did the hack you now have the option to press down + select and it brings you back to the home menu, which is great

Amazing, thank-you!
This appears to have totally bricked my mini SNES.
I installed it, followed the steps, connected the SNES, and started the kernel dump, and that appeared to be progressing well, until the end when it said "can't unpack ramdisk".
I figured that wasn't great so tried again, and got other messages including "device with such vid and pid not found" and "can't write to USB".
After this I tested on a TV and nothing - no signal, no LED, and the charger that I'm using has a light that indicates a device is drawing power and that doesn't change colour so the SNES doesn't even appear to be starting.
Back on PC, Hakchi acts like it's an inert lump of plastic - connecting it does nothing, it's not recognised as a device, and the process to dump the kernel no longer starts.
So that's great.
I presume I'm out of options here but if anyone has any suggestions they'd be very much appreciated.

Are you using the USB cable that came with it?

The image in the OP is simply from a beta version where the actual storage amount wasn't fully known.
As long as you're on the latest version of hakchi, this works. Older versions wouldn't convert it properly.
Are you able to uninstall via Hakchi? I'm assuming you have tried this but just throwing it out there just in case. You should be able to recover as long as you as you have a backup of the original kernel.
Be sure you are holding down the reset button when you power on the snes when you connect it to your computer.
Good luck!
Initially yes (and this might be what started the problems), but I have now tried with multiple other USB cables (and across multiple PCs) without success.
Great Stuff. Playing Killer Instinct since yesterday.
My artist side wants to make some backgrounds but i have some noob questions.
Do i need to hold reset every time i need to connect the snes to my computer for transfer new games or this is just for the first time?
How do i do that? Creating a txt with notepad++ and erasing the .txt extension in the windows folder is enough or there is another way?
In that new file i should jump to line 2 pressing enter and paste the code?
I don't want to mess up this.
I'm not sure how to install retroarch. i downloaded and unzipped the content, but the instructions on that web says to use drag and drop in the hakchi window and that's not working for me.
I'm not sure if is a windows problem. (Win10 plus creators update pack)
Thanks in advance if anyone want to answer these.

Only use the one that came with it, first off.
So what happens now if you hold reset, turn it on, and keep holding reset. Does the PC make a noise?
I don't have the kernel. That's the step that failed. I'm not sure I'd be able to recover even with that since the SNES no longer appears to be reacting in any way to anything.
No. Literally nothing happens. Earlier I was able to get Hakchi to at least give me error messages (the ones I mentioned here) but now it does nothing.
