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

Every time you add a game, it stays in the hakchi list. So you can keep adding or removing them as you see fit. Just remember that the games you see in hakchi are the games you will sync to the SNESC. So if you somehow delete all your games, it will also delete them from the SNESC.
Allegedly.
Hopefully the MMX2 PCM patch makes the game not slow down so much on certain parts. I wish someone could test it out and see if it helps.
That's what I thought. Thanks for clarifying.
So what does that mean for folders? I've stuck a whole bunch of football games into a folder but I could only create said folder after I hit the synch button. Would I need to create that folder the next time I add a game or are all folders saved?

It's been years since I've played it so I'm not sure I'd know one way or another. I'll give it a shot though.
So I'm interested in DarkAkuma's tool for optimization and best preset purposes, but I've already got a good 60 or so roms on there. Should I just run the tool, and replace whatever hakchi already made with the roms that were optimized by it?
Is the anti-epi thing why theres so much flickering in Yoshi's Island?
If you're referring to the the glitch with Fuzzies: that's just an emulation bug.
Everything will stay the same. You'll get the folder dialog every time you sync anyway, so you can make changes if you want.
You can notice it right away on the water level. Once the mechanical fish comes out, it will get really really slow, specially once it stars shooting. If it doesn't get really slow with the sfrom, then I guess the PCM patch helped.
Please note that there will be some slowdown since it was present on the original hardware too, but it wasn't molasses slow.
Otherwise I've found that if you add Yoshi's Island yourself, the first top row of pixels keeps flickering. That might be what he's referring to. My guess is that one of the memory patches included with the stock game either fixes it or tells Canoe to simply hide that row.
I mean with the included ROM it isn't perfect emulation, theres flickering in parts of scenes like in the first few worlds, it's really weird.
Does someone have Tengai Makyou Zero on their Snes mini?

I read some have performane issues with other games because of the new Snes9X core needed to play TMZ...
"So with the new release as of (12-25-2017), I've been messing around with the newest Retroarch and snes9x to get this game to work.
Good news! IT WORKS!
Bad news! The new snes9x causes a bunch of my games that USED to work to not work. These include, but are not limited to: - Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension (now lags) - Super Metroid Redesign (music sound skipping and popping) - Tales of Phantasia (Won't play at all and causes the system to crash)
There are other games that also cause the system to flat out crash as well now. I've since reloaded the old snes9x and retroarch and everything is fine, albetit I don't have TMZ. Any thoughts on this?"

So I tried using the extra space module but after i turn it on the snes mini won't save any game and throws up a C4 error. Anyone know what I need to do to get it to work?
Random Boxart Update:
Happy new Year! I had a spare moment, and just couldn't help myself. I fired up Photoshop and I made an US SNES box adaptation of the Super Famicom cover art for Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers.
If you so desire to use or are new to the SNES Mini hacking community, you can find it and check out other custom arts in my gallery post! Enjoy~
Would using the VC ROM version work better? (I have no idea if that's even possible.)
Robotrek, ActRaiser 2, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma... What other ones dont work?
Pardon~ I thought it was a bigger issue. Just those... I actually didn't know about ActRaiser2.
Just got a mini, a friend got a second one as a gift, and I lucked out! I'm excited and terrified to start messing around with all this stuff...
If all I want to do is add 8 of my favorite games from my collection that aren't on the base classic, (NBA jam TE, Turtles in Time, Chrono Trigger, Tactics Ogre, Mortal Kombat 2, Rock N Roll Racing, Mario All Stars, Sunset Riders), is there a certain method I should be using? Or should I go with what's outlined in the OP?

Finally got so annoyed with the community compatibility spreadsheet that I made my own. No need to list different versions of games, different ROM dumps, comments about Retroarch being better, and just generally incorrect information all the time. This will list good dumps of just US games unless a game didn't come out in the US, in which case it will list a conversion patch for PAL (and if it works) or a translation patch if one is available (and again if it works). If hakchi doesn't set the correct (or a good) Preset ID, I will list one to use. I will also be testing every single game myself, unless other people want to help as I actually trust ResetEra guys with this sort of thing over random internet people.

Says I need to request permission. I was helping with the other sheet
What exactly was incorrect about the other sheet? Beyond the noooooobies using bad rom dumps and the people fucking up entries / deleting them
The problem with testing every single game is that there may be issues later on in the game. For example in Mystic Ark (AGTP Translation) one person got errors at certain points in the game, but only at those two specific spots. The rest worked as intended.
I mean I respect the hustle of course

Maybe. I dunno, I just wanted to have a go. If it gets too much, I'll stop.
But I mean, look at Chrono Trigger on the one out there...
What?
I just want something a bit more moderated. People from here with experience and understanding of good/bad dumps, Preset IDs, what is and isn't a real issue, if a game boots or not, etc, will of course get permission to edit if they want to help. All I would ask is they they themselves have seen the game boot on their own machine and at least get into gameplay. Obviously very late game issues might not be picked up, but as any do, we can note them.

I put in an access request also. I'd be happy to help and familiar with preset IDs, good rom dumps and correct checksums.
Would you consider adding rom hacks also or a separate section for them? Or just straight up regular SNES games. I only ask as you've mentioned translation patches

Hacks and Translations will have their own tab. I want to have a US tab, Europe tab (which will have additional info about 60hz conversion for that ROM), a Japan tab for pure untouched Japanese games, and then a Hacks/Translations tab.
This is an amazing effort. Didn't hacked mine yet but intend to do soon.
Thank you.
Finally getting my hands on one today and excited to dive in. Are all of the imported roms stored on the in-house flash memory? How much space is there?
While filling in the new spreadsheet with known Preset IDs and community recommended ones plus patches, I realised there are two patches for Tetris & Dr Mario. One removes the overscan, and another centers the remaining picture. Weird, so I just made an all-in-one new patch for Tetris & Dr Mario.

Would you be able to use an SNES mouse with this?

This guy tried it with Hyperkin's SNES Mouse with no luck

Thank for that.
I found the other on to be largely unreliable as I get the feeling that some were trying to mess it up. Would it not be better to make it so that only you van update it though? I'm not talking about people on here but if it's a good list it will get out there and it could end up being as hit and miss as the other one.
Ah that sucks, Must be something in the software locking it out then.
In my journeys, I came across a ROM for Mario Paint with joypad controls. Can't link it, but what I have done is make an .ips patch from it. So you can play Mario Paint on your SNES Mini now, if you accept all your drawings will look crap.

Wow nice! Thanks Robin! So this makes me wonder if there are similar "patches" for things like Battle Clash or Bazooka Blitzkrieg...
I'm super intimidated to try this. I really want to be able to add to this cool device that my wife got me, but very scared I could ruin it. I'm pretty tech savy, but not when it comes to hacking/homebrewing.
