SNES Mini Classic Hacking | More games, more borders, more gooder.

The google sheet linked above shows pretty good compatibility results for the internal emulator the SNES uses. Any games that dont work you can use RetroArch. I prefer the internal emulator because of the save states and more.
For reference, I have about 150 titles and room for more, if I wanted. Keep in mind that your space is also limited by you using those save states (4 per game) so you can't just fill it to the brim and be done with it.
Can someone explain how to apply PAL to NTSC patch? The OP only has the link to the files, but it doesnt explain how to apply the patch.
I thought so. You didn't add retroarch, you just added the genesis emu.
Save states? Those work exactly the same even if you're using Retroarch. Same for rewind. I mean, I prefer the internal emulator too, but RA doesn't interfere with anything really.
.ips files can be applied by a variety of small programs, but a simple one to use is LIPS
Make sure you make a copy of the file you are trying to patch as LIPS does not create a backup.

Say do we know if any of the stock games use the -no-lowlatency flag? I'm curious...
Edit: Also I edited the google doc to indicate that Yoshi's Island has issues. I don't see how the disappearing background when touching a fuzzy doesn't qualify. That doesn't happen on a real cart.

Since its already been covered by Rey, i'd just like to add that asking such questions puts the thread itself in as much danger of deletion as those asking the questions. It's not the sort of thing to be overly lax about. That said, some like Element252 genuinely don't know so there's no sense in being dicks about it either. Informative, yet firm is the way to go bro.
So to celebrate the recent English patch, I've put together a PAL box art design for Sutte Hakkun. Logo is based on the one from the patch.
Rather chuffed with how it came out considering the lack of art resources out there.
Nice work man!
When you get that warning then you are looking at the save states for a particular game that says something to the effect of "loading this will cause your game save to be deleted" or similar, it means you will lose the save state right? Not the actual standard save file for the game right?
No, it does mean your battery save will be lost. Consider it that the save state will contain a battery save within it (as it fully saved the entire state the game was in), so loading the state will write its battery save to the real battery save.
Oh wow, ok. So it is possible to load say FF6 by starting it from the box art, and the battery save there could be completely different than had I started it from a save state a while back. That makes perfect sense I guess, now that I wrap my head around it.
If I'm understanding this correctly, is this warning message always going to be present for all games with a battery save? It isn't a result of running out of space from loading additional games/creating a bunch of save states?
Another update for my alternate SNES boxart universe collection. This time round, two alternate versions for Final Fight 3!
First version is a reconstruction of the Super Famicom cartridge sticker label. That was fun to make. The second version fits the Super Famicom boxart in the US dimensions. I think it balances quite well with the western version logo in front and center!
I also added and edited some text from the back of the box to the front. It reads "24 MEGS - The biggest Final Fight ever, with 9 huge levels of action that really pack a punch!"
I don't know which one I'm gonna use myself, both look rightfully epic on the snes classic mini screen...especially Guy beckoning to come closer to get your head smashed in haha! It's yours for the taking from my gallery post!

Add the mod called retroarch.
If you run out of space, your system will crash. You won't get a message about running out of space because the vanilla system will never run out of space.
Well since there seems to no other fan made Sutte Hakkun designs (at least if I go by Google Image Search results), I thought I'd break my pattern of making only PAL designs, I copied the design over to a NoA template:
Luckily the NoA template and the nuNoE template share similar dimensions for the art area so it was more or less just a simple copy and paste.
EDIT: Whoops. Noticed a tiny mistake that needed correcting.

Hey guys,
wanted to know if it's possible to run Genesis/Mega Drive games on a hacked SNES Mini and if there are some Genesis/MD like Controllers for the device. Sorry if this was asked before.

Unfortunately, the raph adapters out there say not compatible with the NES classic, and I bet that means the SNES as well. Would be nice to see something like these working http://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/genesis_to_wiimote/index.php
Chrono Trigger, DKC2 having issues is a deal breaker
A few other high profile games not working right, either :/
Where did you see that those games have issues? They work perfectly!
63 is the page limit, once you add more you get a messed up front end with multiple sections. It sucks.
I can't say I've played through all the way but Chrono and DKC2 have been just fine for me as well, so far at least.
Thanks! Yeah I'll put a link up to the album soon... once I stop adding to it! haha
Speaking of which.....

Yep. We had someone report an issue with CT, but I couldn't replicate it and I think they fixed it with a redump.
Max is 62 per page/folder, not total. But it is recommended you don't go over 40 to avoid crashes.
DKC2 doesn't have issues (unless you really want to play the european version). Those CT sound issues (assuming the guy isn't using a bad rom) are very rare, it has happened on other games too, but very very rarely. But if that bothers you, just run the game with retroarch and it will be perfect.
I just can't stop... alternate boxarts for Shadowrun and Vortex, using their superior Super Famicom boxart!

So I picked one up about two weeks ago randomly walking into a gamestop after work.
This thing is so cute. Installing hakchi2 was a breeze and its exactly what I want. I known I could have a more powerful PI with better filters and storage and whatever but I don't need overkill.
So last night I my 8bitdo wireless receiver came and its made this thing EVEN better. I paired it with all kinds of controllers including my nes30 pro.

I ran into that too. Most Genesis roms are .bin files. When add them to the snes hackchi2 puts in the command line bin/bin. Just change it to bin/md.
Yes it has to be done manually. Alternatively you can decompress your genesis roms and then rename the file types to .md files recompres then move over to the snes.
Made a minor edit to my Tetris & Dr Mario box. Noticed that I some how forgot to clean away some of the creases from the scan I used. So if you're the one person in the world who has used this image, there's a slightly improved version in my gallery.
I often pick games based on popular mentions I see around since that gives me a good gist of what boxes are worth doing (no point in doing Zoop when no one wants to play it) so that's why I did Pocky and Rocky 2. But I thought I might as well do the first one to make things complete. Same thing with Pop'n Twinbee, did Rainbow Bell Adventures ages ago, might as well include the other Twinbee game that came out in Europe.
Nothing really interesting to say about Wario's Woods. I fancied doing it ha ha.
And then for fun I went with the 'what if' scenario for Panel De Pon. I saw someone had made a English patch for it so I gave it a go. These boxes are the most fun to do since I have complete creative control.
EDIT: Realised the Pop'n Twinbee art could use a little colour tweaking.
EDIT2: Made the pinks a bit brighter on Lip.

Double check everything and possibly uninstall modules/cores, then reinstall. Trial and error should help you get it sorted out. I know it sucks, but I couldn't get Neo Geo games to work for a week or two of trying and getting frustrated, but then I finally got it. So don't give up, you just need to tinker a bit with settings. It could be a very small thing that you've missed. I don't have better advice since I don't know exactly how you have your system set up. Maybe provide us with some screenshots or more details.
