Ive been playing a lot, but I want to hack this more every day.

Not having Chrono Trigger, PilotWings, UN Squadron, Turtles in Time, Final Fight 3, Killer Instinct sucks.

There needed to be more 2 player co-op games.

I was playing with my 5 year old this morning and there really isn't all that much to choose from.

Was anyone asking for 2 Kirby games?

make sure not to ruin the whole point of this by swapping 60Hz with 50Hz relics.
 
Goddamn, why wouldn't Terranigma and Illusion of Gaia work?

As 2 games that'll never likely get a rerelease, I really want to play the on SNES classic.

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)

I'm getting some "Access to ActRaiser 2.zip denied" error. Any idea what that is? I don't even think I have an ActRaiser 2 ROM lol
 
Does this work with hacked ROMs ? Like fan translated games?
I want to play Bahamut Lagoon and Ys 5 and many other Japanese games that have been translated over the years that I missed .

I am so playing old games tonight!

Sure. They just picked a shitty golf game and didn't put Kirby's Dreamland 3 on there.
Click to expand...

Yup. It is a travesty Dream Course is on there over at least 2 dozen other games. Even if they didn't want another rpg with Chrono Trigger. They could have given us a Sunset Riders or Turtles in Time beat em up/shoot em up game. Give us NHLPA 94 or NBA Jam as a sports or another 2P option like Dream Course. Hell even Pilotwings which is a Nintendo game.
 
Where is everyone getting their mods from? Best place? OR do they come with the hack program?
 
Dream Course is my true multiplayer star on this thing ;_;

but is terranigma a lost cause? Or can we expect it to run later?

edit : and the other games that don't work too?
Click to expand...

you would need to either use an emulator like snes9x in retroarch when the support for that is up and running or hope someone come up with some sort of patch for the rom.

Well, I tried to transfer my save and I'm getting somewhere. Perhaps someone smarter than me can help out. Any help would be much appreciated :)

At a glance, the hash file is obviously not going to match your save file, so the emulator assumes it's corrupted and deletes it. The easiest think to try is to delete the hash file and hope the emulator just recreates it when it loads it, but that'd be far too convenient for us. :D

Let me try and see what kind of hash it is, I have to download a hex editor to this computer first.

If the base version of the rom works, then fan translated and other altered roms should work.

Wait, are my current saves on the SNES Classic going to be corrupted if I add games?

Cool, thanks for the help. I deleted both the save and the hash file before copying my save over, but yeah unfortunately that didn't work.

Does this let you apply patches to the officially included games? Say I wanted to apply the improved translation patch to Secret of Mana: can I do that to the installed game or would I have to install an additional patched ROM of it?

And is there a way to play Treasure of the Rudras with normal quality text? What's this hi-res text thing?
 
Shame Terranigma doesn't work.

Also, any chance we see some new filters added? Is there any precedent? Not sure what the NES scene was like.

super nintendo supports a 512x448 resolution (seiken densetsu 3's character select screen for example), it can also switch to this mode mid scanline which means that text boxes in rpg's can be of a higher resolution then the rest of the screen.
 
Herb Alpert said:
nes mini 30 games
super nes mini 20 games (ok, +1)
N64 10 games

I personnaly think we will get a game boy mini next year. Or maybe just a new batch of Nes and Snes mini...
Click to expand...

I could come up with 15 worthwhile N64 games pretty easily without going 3rd party of including Rare, but the value prop takes a huge hit if you have access to the 3DS versions of the N64 Zeldas. Then a lot of the remaining value depends on having 4 controllers in the same place, and you'll be lucky if it ships with two. So, eh...

How blurry does it look? Better to wait for a fix?

Will it be easier to mod the console or the ROM itself? This was one of the first games I really wanted to try, so it’s a bummer that it’s not working properly.
 
Are there two versions of Hakchi2 now, one for NES and one for SNES, or is it just one program for both systems? I'll probably wait a bit to see if Krusty's Super Fun House gets figured out, I was actually looking forward to replaying that after all these years hahaha

TheMoon said:
never because it makes no sense to do one unless you only want 10 games on it.
Click to expand...

This has been refuted by so many people so many times. Not only have they registered the N64 Classics controller logo already (which doesn't necessarily mean they WILL do it but they're clearly thinking about it) but dozens upon dozens of Gaffers have made lists of much more than 10 games to fill out a hypothetical N64 Classic. Heck even if you only included Nintendo games and none from 3rd parties you'd get over 10.
 
BTW has anyone else noticed frame skipping issues? SMW obviously runs at around 59fps which results in a small stutter every second or so.

Load up the second level, run right, and look at the ground.
 
The emulator supports high resolution mode because Secret of Mana's menus work fine. We just need to wait until someone figures out how to make that apply to other games.

Thank you so much for this, I might actually not wait for the official release and proceed to at least put Chrono Trigger in it tonight. (Because I'm an impatient fool, hah!)

Is the Custom Kernel something that will be updated upon the official release or will it stay the same? If it changes, is it something usually easy to update?
 
Weltall Zero said:
Heh, Screwattack had that exact same problem.



Scroll up. :P



If you're willing to deal with folders, there's pretty much no limit beyond the 300 something MB of writable memory. I've selected 96 games and that brings me to 200, but bear in mind this space is shared with savestates and such, so leave some of it free.
Here's an extreme example on the Mini NES:

The kernel won't change now. It's identical to the NES one with a few paths changed. Feel free to go ahead and use this, when newer releases are out just drop the new files in the folder you have for this.
