Can an NES Classic swap into a SNES Classic because of the same internals, or is that not possible?

 

[Dartastic]

Don't know where my original kernel is or if I backed it up at all. It'd be super helpful if someone who actually correctly did that put it on a shared site or something. Someone is going to screw that up. Potentially even me. Heh. Hehehe. :/

 

[Euphoria14]

So what happens if I have more than 31 games and I don’t resize my icons at the bottom?

So they just go off the sides of the screen and look sloppy?

There are multiple versions of the kernel for every region. :/

 

[Vital Tundra]

Lets gooooo! Just got off work. Time to hack this purple beauty.

 

[beanman25]

Looks like Goof Troop doesn't work.
Also Panel Del Pon doesn't work but Tetris attack does.

err. it works for me just fine!

EDIT: Panel De Pon I mean

 

[FallingEdge]

Appreciate all this!

 

[Jawmuncher]

🤔
Which one works fine. I’ll need to see into this.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Wait, why are there multiple versions per region? I can understand multiple versions because of region, but I'm surprised there are multiple in the same region.

 

[ggx2ac]

I'll just wait for a YouTube tutorial seeing that some people aren't having an easy time with this.

How do we go about installing RomHacks? I've seen a few that i like, but i'm not sure how to incorporate them...

 

[Lettuce]

Any write up on installing RetroArch on the SNES Classic? I think I have it right but not 100%.

Looks like new version

https://github.com/ClusterM/retroarch-clover/releases

It says decorative frames are not possible but i know RetroArch has an overlay feature which is the same thing, so maybe that could be utilised?

Look on documents/hakchi2 that’s where mine is, but I’m not positive it’s my stock kernel, it’s in the dump folder and I didn’t dump anything else soooo

OmegaDL50 wanted Secret of Mana 2 box art in the style of the cover of the first game, so I whipped something up. I hope I got everything right, if not I'll update it as necessary.

Also, it's pretty much impossible to find a full version of the artwork I used in a nice quality, which is a shame because it's great. Artist is the late Hirō Isono, just like with that iconic Secret of Mana art of course. It's from the manual.

So I stitched one together myself in photoshop. And man, I have never done anything like that before so I'm sure I screwed up in places. Still, here it is:

It's not perfect, but I should probably share this somewhere more visible sometime. Like, on a Tumblr or something. Because it's a bummer to me how hard it was to find this thing. That said I still had to cut off parts, like artist's signature. That felt bad. Hopefully SE will remake the game and make the piece more accessible in the future.

Best full scan of the manual I could find for reference:

I also used a scan of the CD cover, and a closeup I found of the characters. I don't know what the proper colours are, so I based things on the closeup since that one is of the nicest quality. I think I did a decent job all things considered. Took a bit longer than I had planned though!

I think the this works for me that doesn’t for me is a result of bad rom dumps...kinda frustrating because I’m pretty sure posting information on how to find to working ROMS is bannable. My advice is to keep checking different sources until you find one that works.

 

[jacobeid]

Is it possible to put all of the US stuff onto my JP console?

Generally rom hacks are applied no differently than fan translations.

These usually consist of an IPS file which is applied to the Rom itself via an IPS patcher program.

Word of advice for those to unfamiliar with the process. You need to first patch the rom with the romhack or translation you want to use in question before you copy it over to your SNES Classic via Hakchi.

No! Don't you dare break my heart like this!

Panel De Pon! Spent about an hour on it earlier, worked flawlessly. Dumped a cart my bro got me for christmas from japan


EDIT.. Wrestlemania the Arcade game doesn't work right for me. They fight and everything, but like the background is totally screwed up forever during gameplay

Thank you for this, I was completely lost on that.

Hmm. I’ll look into this.

[QUOTE="D";251273465]Does this contain EVERY SNES game?[/QUOTE]

810 images. Only need one for StarFox 2, from what I see.

 

[rubbishmonkey]

For those interested in box art I found a pack of 3D Snes Box Art to use for this. I assume it's okay to link it since it's just boxart. (They make you register to download it unfortunately.)

https://emumovies.com/files/file/2042-super-nintendo-3d-box-pack/

Here's how it looks on my SNES Classic.

[QUOTE="D";251273465]Does this contain EVERY SNES game?[/QUOTE]


I have started to make a few 3D boxarts based off this set. Just a few rom hacks at the moment but i'll be adding the missing games I have when i get time : https://imgur.com/a/6tuPw

 

[Maxrunner]

have you guys left the console by itself? Mario and luigi starttoopen your states and play from that point lol

 

[LordRaptor]

In case anyone needs / wants them some custom covers in the NTSC format

(I'm putting the Parodius games in as Parodius 1, 2 and 3 for library tidiness reasons and Parodius 1 had a PAL release you can use)

Looks like Goof Troop doesn't work.
Also Panel Del Pon doesn't work but Tetris attack does.

Goof Troop works for me - verify you dumped it correctly with something like GoodSNES?

 

[Dartastic]

I think I finally got it working, but what happened to the original games on here?!?

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

I added about 80ish games for a total of 100 with the originals. Everything seems to work fine but whenever I try to shut down I get a C8 error. I have to toggle the power again to get it to shut down normally. Anyone know whats up with this?

Only thing I can think of is I'm not using folders. Would that cause the C8s on shutdown?

 

[-shadow-]

Edit: Never mind, others say it works. Time for some Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack!

Whenever I want to just go back to the original version for whatever reason, I just flash the original kernel back onto the system correct?

 

[Zee-Row]

So can games be zipped or do they have to be unzipped to be read?

We have a thread on how to create your own dumps.

Nothing bannable about that.

 

[beanman25]

Crazy to ask, but could someone make a custom NTSC cover for Sanrio World Smash Ball?

Ahh. Didn’t think to do that. Thanks.

 

[escapegoat]

Anyone know if Sailor Moon: Another Story (English Patched) SNES ROM works with his hack? Can't wait to test this hack out when I get home!

 

[sotojuan]

Is this black bar at the bottom of Chrono Trigger normal? https://i.imgur.com/1DDMoTk.jpg

Does not appear in menus, just in the actual game.

 

[Maxrunner]

Can you guys tell me how to revert to factory kernel?
Also if you revert to kernel will it erase the original art of the factory installed games?

 

[Chucker]

hahahah i hope I didn't ruin everything hahhahahahah o.0

That was my original kernel, it went back to an off the shelf SNES Mini after I did it.

OmegaDL50 wanted Secret of Mana 2 box art in the style of the cover of the first game, so I whipped something up. I hope I got everything right, if not I'll update it as necessary.

This is fantastic and just what I'm looking for as well.
Don't suppose you could throw together a Dragon Quest I+II or V box.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Yes it's like that in the original game everywhere except for the menu screen, the world map and mode-7 cutscenes.

Sure does.

Use the Uninstall function in the Kernels menu. It'll make it as if you just got it.

 

[Joqu]

This....this is awesome.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it, I know it's the cover I'll use.

...but uh, hopefully we aren't the only ones because cleaning up that artwork took me HOURS. Haha.

 

[sotojuan]

Thanks, I can stop being annoyed that I messed something up now!

 

[Spacebar]

Installed NBA Live 98. I forgot how rough the NBA used to be. They didn't call fouls and you can go out of bounds back then. lol

 

[Lettuce]

where can i find, "clover-canoe-shvc" so i can add the "--retroarch" argument??

Wew, crisis averted!

 

[Gradon]

Oh man I really, really want one now.

 

[Dartastic]

Soooo... seriously where did they go? Do I need to add them back?

 

[Maxrunner]

Sure does.




Use the Uninstall function in the Kernels menu. It'll make it as if you just got it.

What does happen if i choose Flash Original Kernel?
And if i have altered the original games art does flashing the original kernel revert those too?

 

[Poppyseed]

Currently installing Windows in a VM in macOS. Will report if it works. Trying to get myself out of doing bootcamp for this.

So, did that work?

 

[angelic]

Two possibly dumb questions:

I've been playing it and have saves + restore points I'd like to keep, do I keep them?

The backup kernel is just the emulator and front end, not the build in roms? If so..where do they go.
