Hmm, I guess if you sync the games across before doing that it'll have already created the folder system, and changing that setting doesn't remove it. =/

What was the original folder structure?
Whatever I did now hid those 21 games and I cant find them anywhere.

Seriously about to say screw it and put this Snes back in the box and start from scratch with one of my other two consoles.

Didn't see it in OP, but what file type does it take? smc or srm? Or Both?

Both I believe

srm is save ram lol
It'll take the main format, (sfc) and the old smc copier one without a problem, as hakchi will convert them. Dunno about any of the other weird formats, as thanks to people like byuu and evan, SFC has really become the standard now. SMC will live on purely because so many early scene hackers designed their patches for those super magic card dumps.

So as I understand it, the same Hakchi2 program is used to hack both the NES Classic and the SNES Classic, correct?
With all the SNES stuff added to it recently, is it safe to use it on the NES or should I wait for a more stable build? I'm going up to see my parents for a few days during my colonoscopy on Tuesday and I would REALLY love to be able to put DuckTales and Rescue Rangers on my NES Classic to play with my dad.
Also I asked it earlier in the thread but never got a response, the games that currently have issues like Kirby's Adventure 3, Uniracers, etc, are they going to have issues forever? Or is that something future versions of Hakchi2 could fix? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I have nooooo familiarity with how these kinds of things work.

It should be fine for using on your NES too. You could always download 2.18 and have a seperate folder if you want, but you shouldn't have to.
Is it possible to replace the box art of the original games? Also, does changing out backgrounds/menus/etc still all require FTP stuff?
Stuffed the poor SNESC full yesterday. 69 games in total. I want even more games, honestly, but I can consolidate at a later point. The customization is just too fun. Changed the menu music to "Your Name, Please" from Earthbound. Works surprisingly well.

If you're worried, just get 2.17d. That was the last NES-only release afaik.

@Robin64: I suggest you collect a bunch of these repeat questions and throw an FAQ into the OP as well, so you don't have to repeat yourself too often. You/we could just point there and save your fingers some work.
Are you that worried that your reading abilities aren't up to snuff that you can't follow the step-by-step-guide in the OP? It's pretty straightforward.

Has anyone tried Terranigma yet? I know we'll need retroarch to run it, curious how well it actually runs
Sir_Crocodile

No. You'd have to hide them all through hakchi, readd them as custom games (either by ftp'ing the originals out and putting them back in, as detailed in the OP or adding your own dumps to it) and change the art of the custom ones.
Of course, that'd waste a good portion of the 240MB just for cosmetics, so I haven't even though I really want to - apart from for the games I'm modding anyway like earthbound and super ghouls and ghosts.
Only to confirm it works. I got to be able to move around in Ark's house at least.

You can't "convert" Japanese games to US games. Both are the same format (NTSC), and the SNES wasn't region locked, so there's nothing inside the games that prevent them from being played on any system (except Euro/Pal).

ahh okay might need to use retro arch then

I actually meant a thread specifically for the piece of artwork you restored! I mean, people make threads for the silliest reasons (and that's fine), I think all the work you took on that is worthy of being seen by people without the Mini-SNES.
I did absolutely nothing special, I just added it like any other game. I only tried it up until the player select menu, does it crash after that?

Does anyone else have trouble with Game Saves in Retroarch? I'm playing Secret of Evermore using Retroarch as the built in Emulator (Canoe) is missing the background music in some parts of the game.
When I close Retroarch (by using the Menu shortcut or through the menu or by turning the console off) it seems to sometimes crash resulting in the SaveRAM not being written to memory, so when I fire up the game again I will only see my previous saves but not the current ones (losing progress). I have been unable to identify what causes that behavior. It's hit and miss and I don't know which until I try to continue on with the game.

I played the first few screens. Worked flawlessly.
Anyone? Am I just stupid? I'm convinced it didn't happen with the older version of hakchi. I'll try on the original hardware later.
Ah man, this makes me sad

Did you try a different USB cable? That worked for some folks

If its any help - and I did this with the RC version posted early not the full official release version - when it says "hold reset and keep it held down for a few seconds after turning the power on" it doesnt actually mean "a few one missipi seconds".
If you have volume on / system noises turned on, if youve held it down long enough for Windows system 'new devices connected' noise and windows popup, it wont work.
You need to let go of reset before your PC recognises it as a new device, that way hackchi grabs control of it as a new device instead

Not sure what the heck I just did but it somehow automatically just dumped all the game together into one folder.
I then chose not to sync the original 21 and now everything is perfect. No need to copy to PC, copy back, etc...
Everything is in perfect alphabetical order too.
Now I just have to make sure they all work.

Completely understandable. I just tossed every modded game away into the "More Games..." folder as it is for consistency.

Yes...
In the comnand prompt it says unknown device something, a second line installing something usb and a third line to press enter to exit.
I'm gonna ask this even though I'm sure I know the answer: the UI lags like hell, right?
Yeah, I ended up turning it off because I want to reach the menu quickly when I reset.

Yeah - like I say, I had this waiting on holding down reset long enough for Windows to recognise a new device had been connected and attempting to map it via Windows.
Release reset before that "du-du-dun" new device connected noise.

You could always get everything you need (Hakchi, ROMs, Pictures, etc.), put it on a USB stick and do it on a friends PC

It doesn't even start. It stays on a black screen and then the c8 error shows up. Only disney game I have that doesn't work. Mickey Mania, lion king, aladdin, etc work perfectly.
What do you mean? Using a save state wiped your battery save?

Is there a way to add Overlay Borders to the Snes Mini Retroarch Snes9x core?

That suggests the driver was installed... I had a similar issue on a USB3 port in Windows 10 but everything worked smoothly on a USB2 port...

Yea I had this too and did the same thing. Also, it took longer than expected. I wasnt sure so left it a min or 2 and it worked
Probably with the Retroarch

I and most everyone I know don't use the web installer. The standard .zip is the best, then everything's all in one folder, rather than being in crappy Documents folders.
