SNES Mini Classic Hacking | More games, more borders, more gooder.
- Thread starter Robin64
- Start date
The last one came in v1.1.0.3.
I've made serveral of little changes and fixes I didn't feel were worth mentioning. Though I guess that one should be mentioned.
I didn't even know DQ3 had an issue. I'm guessing from the context that its translation is like Chrono Trigger hacks, and expands the ROM beyond 4MB?
Since I'm about to give the SFROM tool a new run for all my roms on the Mini, is it in any way 'safer' now to apply translation patches? Patches for headered roms will still give me a headache probably.
Couple of things sluffy has said:

If you do have any patches for headered ROMs, this is an excellent tool: https://github.com/heuripedes/ipsbehead/releases
Ah, that's great, thanks. I'll give it a try tomorrow. Out of 61 games in total, 52 without translations went like a breeze thanks to your work and DarkAkuma's updates. 9 games with translations left. ;)

Added to the Patch Pack.
Note that it isn't 100%, the rival will still briefly appear on the opposite side of the screen that he left from (so on the first level, getting ahead of him makes him appear on the right side of the screen for a moment) but a couple of frames later they vanish where before they would begin to get drawn in the center. If he fixes that too, I'll update the patch, but it's not a massive issue.

Any hope for the following games to get their issues fixed?
Earthworm Jim 2
Mega Man X2
Plok!
They are the only ones left I need after Uniracers.

PC adds 0.2-0.3 frames of lag (over a real SNES on a CRT). That's pretty darn good. I wonder if the Higan core can get it down to actually 0 or if it adds a little more.
Definitely an epic post, though. I'd read that person's webpage if they had one.
It seems to be a bit more than that. As long as your rival is behind you and not normally on screen, you can see him in the far upper right edge of the screen. It seems he's just moved up there and you just see him appear when he does tricks. At least that's how it was for me (tested the first two tracks).
Yeah, I noticed that too! It's still much better, but I have posted this new thing for him to see too. If he can fix that as well, I'll update, but in the meantime it's still awesome.
It's certainly a lot better. Mainly mentioned it, since looking at why he appears there could make it easier to find a complete fix for this.
Easier said than done. I think most people have threaded off, but the other two definitely have issues and aren't recommended here:

I just tried Dispanx because the warning didn't seem that bad. I stopped using a shader on the pie because I use the RetroTV Overlay that has built in scanlines in the PNG. Even overlays don't work with Dispanx (unless there was some kind of glitch). No shaders is one thing, but not even overlays is a real sacrifice to the whole image quality.
Here you go Robin. One clean screenshot and one indicating the bug.
What's especially jarring is how both the head and tails (and the Toads) have their proper shadows, but the bodies don't. I guess it's because the head and tails are sprites, but the bodies themselves aren't.

He's using various, old emulators to try to reproduce the bug. If he can't he just dives into the code and makes an educated guess.
Of course that over-simplifies the stellar work he is doing.
Maybe we should buy him a SNESC?
Save States are 2MB, the 320KB files is if you use the script that generates autoplay demo videos for your games.
The PAL version of this game (SMASH TENNIS) is also affected. It seems the background is hi-res?Super Family Tennis (JP) seems to have a similar problem to Super Formation Soccer '94 where the menus (and company intro) are a bit messed up. No sound issues for this one, though, and the rest of the game seems fine.
I'm yet to try any alternative Preset IDs with it
I did it!
I finally got the damn English patch to work.
Card Fighters Clash 2 Expand Edition is the sequel to the greatest card-collecting RPG of all time. It consolidates both of the previous versions (SNK & Capcom) and adds 124 new cards including the 40 new Reaction cards that add a whole new mechanic to the gameplay.
Runs perfectly on SNES Classic. Y'all need this game!
EDIT: IMPORTANT QUESTION!
Is there no retroarch core for Wonderswan??
Last edited:
Mednafen-WSWAN the core should be part of KMFD Manic´s Core set .
It's not in my list of installable modules but I'll search for it.
Thanks for confirming! I've never played any Wonderswan games, there's gotta be at least a few good ones. The color graphics are surprisingly good.
As far as the -no-lowlatency command line goes, is that something that we can use globally for the few games that absolutely need it, and for games that don't, it won't affect them?
Yes, I use this to play Tetris as the WonderSwan version is my favourite.
Hint: Press SELECT to change screen orientation/rotation.
Don't skip the monochrome games, there are some bona-fide classics to discover.
Not advisable.
-no-lowlatency Render in a separate thread, to accommodate "slow" titles.
IE. Prefer game speed over input responsiveness
-lowlatency Render on the main thread to reduce input latency.

Updated the patch file with a more refined Uniracers fix. You won't see the rival performing tricks in the upper right corner now.
Not all of them have a Canoe Fix, no. A Canoe Fix will alter the actual ROM, but something like Secret of Evermore only needs the Preset ID setting.

The compression mod is great. Saved me almost 80MB and seems to work perfectly.

Just tried it. Works great. I noticed another very small bug on the second track. At that last bit when you're jumping you can shortly see your own unicycle flickers below you. Tried to capture it via rewind here:

Hi,
I really hope this is not a unwelcomed question but here goes:
I havent followed the scene since the initial Hackchi2 release where we could import custom SNES games (at that time we had to use retroarch for some games). What has happened in the scene since then? Is there a summary somewhere so I can "catch up"? Going through 63 pages is just way too much.

For the beginning; I would suggest to read the OP and the following post again. Both are constantly updated and contain the latest information on which tools to use and how. That should give you a first impression on what changed.
And, yeah, it changed a lot! A bunch of people ist working hard to make as many games as possible run in the native SNES Mini environment. Welcome back and enjoy!
Edit: Also very helpful: the community spreadsheet.
Ive made sure to check the OP and while I do find it very helpful from a technical perspective (which new tools to use etc), I would want an "overall" picture on which systems are now available, have there been breakthroughs that make graphical changes to the UI possible, or other huge additions. Etc.
What is possible beyond the native emulator (canoe) is pretty much determined by the work of KMFDManic. He assembled a lot of different systems in his core set and is constantly testing and tweeting.
Graphical changes to the UI are possible afaik, but I don't know exactly where to look for that info. Sorry.
I tried a couple of version of Sink or Swim, but neither showed up an ID in SFROM. When I tried adding the preset ID to the SFROM myself, I still got the water rising glitch. The game is unplayable. I am not bothered too much about this game, but wondering if people have play tested it extensively?
