I've had a few times when either resetting from the controller or using save states that the console gets stuck in a resetting loop
Yep. just happened again playing metroid. Hit reset, screen stays black, looks like it's trying to load the menu but keeps resetting

Not sure if it was asked, but if I wanted say patch FF3 with the FF6 patch do I have to hide all 21 of the original in order to hide the original version, or is it possible to just hide the original FF3?
Robin64

You can just hide the single game, yeah.
I guess the colored "2P" stands for simultaneously multiplayer? It's probably debatable if the DKC trilogy is simultaneously or not. The second player can control the other kong only after a tagteam-like commando. I wouldn't call that simultaneously at all. Whatever.
I seem to have three different sizes for the covers. I'll guess earthbound was a big box title, so I would have to change that manually? For DKC 2 I used the one from Robin64 and his covers in his picture all touch the edges of the "cover-holder". Something I'm doing wrong.

Hmm, I just realized that since my SNES doesn't turn on when plugged into a PC, there's no way that I know of to flash the original kernel. I think I'm fucked.
Anyone know any other way?

EarthBound was a bigger box, yeah, so is bigger here.
Not sure why your DKC2 box got scaled down, might be thing they fixed from RC2. But if you just browse to the hakchi/snes_games/ folder, you'll find the .png covers in those folders and can just manually put the right size one in.

Pity. Well, the original 21 games in one page and the rest inside folders is good enough for me
Why don't you use custom folders (e.g. by genres) and sort the original 21 inside them?
And done, for now. Hopefully every sprite makes it obvious what games I added.
Now I can sit back and relax and actually play this damn thing!

It's triggering a bit of my OCD that some are looking left and some are looking right, though.
You can? How?

When you have the original games selected, the right hand side then has the individual games to hide or not.

This is why I'm waiting for the idiot proof hakchi version to be released before I start messing around.

I'm still not seeing Vortex.
We gotta talk about this, yo.
I'm sorry in advance, because I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times already, but what's the right size? I'm currently in the folder, but I have no idea what size to put them
My boxes are a tiny bit more little than the OG ones.

While I haven't hacked my SNESC just yet, thought I'd play around with making PAL style versions of the boxart, cos those are the version I grew up with (and it adds a bit of colour to the screen)
Though, it seems some PAL boxes (I believe the French versions) don't have that grey PAL VERSION text underneath the Super Nintendo logo (and there's not that many great versions of PAL boxes to choose from on the internet).
So have to decide if I photoshop that back in, leave them as is, or remove it from the others (I've been changing them to say NTSC VERSION
I'd rather have the "PAL VERSION" thing instead of all the other text. ^^

The ones I was making for myself - and the ones Robin64 made - are 228 x 160 pixels.

Well, you might note the lack of
Two titles I'm going to have problems with: Super Mario RPG and Earthbound, as they never had PAL release (or equivalents of) so I'm going to have to make up a colour for them. If I base it off the title screen I guess I could go blue for SMRPG (since it features those blue beams) and purple for Earthbound.

I'm not up to date about the hacking and being able to add more games. Seems like it's working now.
Is there a good step by step instruction?
I need Terranigma and Turtles in Time on that thing!

I don't know why I'm surprised that games you add yourself and have save states for replay you playing them in demo mode, but I was - thats actually really cool

Damn Robin, you had the same idea as me. I also created 3 Final Fantasy Cover for myself in US boxart style.
And i tried to have the logo on all 3 on the exact same position, what was hard with FF6, but here we go, maybe some of you like them.

Asking again: some of the games I transferred aren't working correctly, even though they are verified working for others (Turtles in Time, DKC2, etc).
The common issues these games have is that the main 4:3 screen is misaligned with the border, and the sound is choppy and laggy.
I checked the ROM files and they have the same extension as the others. Is it just a simple case of starting over with transferring them?
Also Robin, can those sprite icons be shared as well? Would love to use those in addition to the reformatted box arts you created.
Can't wait until we can start using custom borders.

Can you change the cover of the existing games somehow? Or do i need to deactivate that game and insert it again with a new cover?
TheMoon

base them off of the Japanese boxes, which is where the PAL colors come from anyway (most of the time, anyway [see SMK]).
EB = red
SMRPG = white
Star Fox 2 would be purple then, btw.

thing is, why force the god awful ESRB rating on there if you're doing it yourself anyway?

Finished adjusting the size of the small thumbnails so everything fits nicely! I also replaced the standard boxart with some neat 3D versions. Really happy with it.
Only at 38 games. Need to add some more gems.
Dude you have to share these. Where did you get them?
Thanks
Also, could someone tell me if that Hakchi thing works on Mac? Please say yes. I only have macs in this household right now.

surely there's some way to rectify this.

Son of a...! I didn't realize that until now. Ah well, having them all as separate games makes thumbnail editing easier anyway.
Speaking of which, word to the wise. If you change the thumbnails, and then select a new cover from inside Hakchi, it will overwrite your custom thumbnail, obvious. But! If you simply copy your thumbnail (a quick Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V with it selected in Windows Explorer), you'll have a backup to avoid this. But wait, here's more. If you paste this as a .bat file in the games_snes folder and execute it, it will copy all your thumbnail backups back over the actual thumbnails.
Code:
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /D /r %%d in ("*") do for %%f in ("%%d\*- copy.*") do if %%f neq %~nx0 (
set "filename=%%~nf"
copy "%%f" "%%d\!filename:~0,-7!%%~xf"
)
pauseIf you're using a regional copy of Windows, you have to adapt the above script accordingly: change where it says - copy to whatever your version of Windows appends to same-folder copied files. Additionally, where it says ~0,-7, change the 7 to the number of characters actually removed when renaming, including spaces (for example, I have Windows in Spanish, which appends " - copia", so I have to replace the 7 with an 8).
Disclaimer: I tested this and it works, but as everything that modifies your files, be sure to back up your games_snes folder before giving it a try.
Yes, just keep trying. Keep the unit off, then when you go to flash the original kernel, do the reset+power thing to turn it on. Most of the time the original FW will flash fine. But even with the original FW, it doesn't always power on as expected, at least for me...

How do I get the current version of the hack? Can't seem to find it in this thread.

Dang. A lot of good info swirling around here.
I may take a stab at this soon.

Have just uploaded my own personal images, some non Japanese stuff in there but should be easier then having to manually search for everything. A lot of the stuff here is much better than what is available on gamefaqs.

Now, can anyone confirm the ideal size to resize them to?

i'm waist deep in FF6, so i plan to just let these developments stew and come to the modding when i most feel the need.
I'd been looking through these myself.
