62 is the limit.

Oh, so you can load 62 on the front screen before your save states get affected at all?

Well, great. I won't be loading nearly that many.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Okay, so I dumped my kernel, installed custom kernel, installed Retroarch, and anytime that I try to sync, I get this

Tried nearly everything to remedy it. Nothing works. Also, "install driver" gives me this

I got this because i was not using the default usb cable that came with the snes.

 

[Crazy_maniac]

Would it be possible to run MAME games like Outrun on this using Retroarch?

 

[Conkerkid11]

I got this because i was not using the default usb cable that came with the snes.

I'm using the default USB cable that came with the SNES Mini.

 

[jombag]

I got this because i was not using the default usb cable that came with the snes.

I had this too. Just turn on your snes mini witout holding reset.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

.

Once again you are the absolute best. Thank you!

 

[twentytwo22]

Can you put NES games straight onto the SNES using Hakchi?

 

[Oliade677]

Amazing how quickly this came together and how simple the process is. Can't thank you all enough!

 

[boxoctosis]

I had this too. Just turn on your snes mini witout holding reset.

Yep. This is what worked for me too, once I'd accessed the mini the first time by holding down reset etc, it only worked when I didn't hold down reset. Odd.

 

[Stinkles]

Where are all these extra games stored?

 

[Conkerkid11]

Where are all these extra games stored?

According to hakchi, it looks like the SNES Mini has like 300MB of storage space.

 

[twentytwo22]

According to hakchi, it looks like the SNES Mini has like 300MB of storage space.

Yeah, I think the SNES probably has 512MB of flash memory, and then the games and the OS cut into that and you can use just under 300MB for your own stuff.

 

[Conkerkid11]

I had this too. Just turn on your snes mini witout holding reset.

Was that with or without the Retroarch modules? I can't get it to detect my SNES Mini by just plugging it in and turning the power button on after flashing to a custom kernel and then installing the Retroarch modules.

 

[0racle]

So 62 games will always be the limit ? Or will it be like nes in a few weeks with folders and hubdreds of games ?

 

[JohnOfMars]

Oh, so you can load 62 on the front screen before your save states get affected at all?

Well, great. I won't be loading nearly that many.

Sorry i wasnt clear. 62 per page/folder. Save states use the space left over from the ROMs, so it depends on how big your games are.

 

[bumpkin]

I haven't done so (thankfully), but if something hiccups and you brick your Classic, can you fix it as long as you have the original kernel dumped?

 

[inner-G]

Maybe flash the original and then just start over?

Once it's custom, you should be able to just turn it on when you plug it into the PC

Yep

 

[moltonasty]

Yes that's the point of dumping the kernel.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Yeah, even this isn't working. I don't get it.

 

[Euphoria14]

As promised I created an US style SNES DQV boxart based on the original Super Famicom box art.

I will have the DQVI one uploaded shortly.

Perfect!

Thank you. Can't wait to leave work now so I can update my box art from your previous versions.

 

[MysticX]

so, which systems does it support? only snes or more?

 

[LordRaptor]

Okay, so I dumped my kernel, installed custom kernel, installed Retroarch, and anytime that I try to sync, I get this

I had this by holding the reset button too long on power up.
- if you hold it long enough that windows detects new hardware and you get that "detected new hardware" chime, its too long. Like, let go of reet a fraction of a second after turning power on

 

[gingerbeardman]

so, which systems does it support? only snes or more?

more, SNES and NES officially.

tens more via RetroArch including arcade, consoles, handhelds and old computers.

 

[March of the Crabs]

I'm assuming it is, but is it normal for the SNES to take longer to boot up once you've loaded some stuff on there?

 

[Stinkles]

According to hakchi, it looks like the SNES Mini has like 300MB of storage space.

And it plays zipped roms? How many can you fit in 300MB? (approx)

 

[Conkerkid11]

This is dumb, I've flashed back and forth between original and custom several times, and it's never allowed me to sync games. I give up.

 

[OmegaDL50]

I didn't like how my previous DQIII Reprise box art turned out, so I re-did it with a better source art.

Same like the others can be found in my album.

For for comparison sake, which one do you guys like better?

What problems are people having with running Seiken Detsetu 3?

 

[CloudyTuba]

Sorry i wasnt clear. 62 per page/folder. Save states use the space left over from the ROMs, so it depends on how big your games are.

I see, thanks.
Considering I will be added exactly 21 more games for 42 total, I imagine there will be plenty of space left for savestates and no folders needed.
Though I read that the small icons on the bottom only go up to, what was it...31 total before it runs off the screen? So I guess I will have to shrink them a little.

I've not yet modded mine yet because I wanted to wait a week or two after the mod released for any last minute bugs to get worked out, so I'm just planning my attack now. I'll probably get it done around the 15th.

The only other thing I'm considering is getting Super Gameboy on there through retroarch but I'm not decided yet.

 

[Sectorseven]

Out of curiosity, has the included version of Star Fox 2 been dumped?

 

[JohnOfMars]

And it plays zipped roms? How many can you fit in 300MB? (approx)

My ROMs vary between a little under 1MB to 3MB (zipped). YMMV. The base install takes up some room, so you have 250MB free. The free space you have left over is used for suspend points and saves. So it's a balancing act.

 

[Impotaku]

I'm assuming it is, but is it normal for the SNES to take longer to boot up once you've loaded some stuff on there?

yeah it will take a tiny bit longer.

 

[Red Devil]

Can the NES/SNES Mini Classic play FDS games without retroarch?

 

[OmegaDL50]

What problems are people having with running Seiken Detsetu 3?

The Hi-Res mode is not working with the built-in emulator so certain texts will be appear blurry in the menu.

Only a select few games take advantage of the Hi-Res mode. Notably Secret of Mana and Kirby's Dreamland 3.

The built-in version of the SNES Classic emulator is doing some sort pre-patch to make Secret of Mana display in the proper Hi-Res mode so the text isn't blurry.

Any other Hi-Res mode enabled games won't work like this and thus the text is blurry in Seiken Densetsu 3 when added to the library.

Using Retroarch is a work around because it displays the game text properly but some folks say the game has slowdowns and performance issues via Retroarch, so I guess it's narrowed down to playing an RPG with some slowdowns or play an RPG with blurry text.

If the modders could figure out how the SNES Classic is loading the Hi-Res mode for the built-in version of Secret of Mana and we could apply this fix to SD3 and Kirby 3, then we wouldn't need to use Retroarch as a workaround for those games.

 

[talkingood]

I tried to enable going to the menu over the controller. (down + select)

Didn't work. 🤔

Hold it down for a few seconds? It still works for me.

Fair enough. I'll take blurry text over slowdown any day. Thanks for the info!

The New One would be terrific except the golden border is cut off on the right!

 

[Deleted member 57681]

Whoa I only read about using the cable that came with the Mini now, I just used the one dangling from my PC. No issues thankfully.

 

[Hamlet Machine]

One quick (maybe already adressed) question, is there a way to change the resolution in retroarch ?
Somehow i am under the impression that it is bigger that the stock emulator and i want to uniformize everything

The Hi-Res mode issue is the only thing I am crossing my fingers for that someone is able to figure out how to trigger in Canoe.
SD3 does indeed have slowdown/audio issues via Retroarch.

I'd say new one if you fix the cropping of the border on the right side, and remove the Japanese text (since it looks odd to me being there if it's supposed to pretend to be a US game).

 

[Oliade677]

This was already asked but I didn't see a response. Does the SNES classic natively support NES games or do I have to load them through Retroarch?

Random formatting question:

Is there any way to make games like The Legend of the Mystical Ninja appear in the "L" spot in alphabetical order instead of the "T" spot without changing the display name to "Legend of the Mystical Ninja, The"?

Edit the Title in Hakchi2. That’s all I could figure out so far to remedy the issue.

I had to do that for Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Changed to Super Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back so it appears before Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.

 

[Megasoum]

Can you set custom borders for each games yet?

How are Treasure of the Rudras and Terranigma in Retroarch?

ok I think I'm getting a SNES mini.

So you got rid of the "The"? I'd prefer not to do that but I suppose it is a workaround.
