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

Well unless the enemy rate is set by number of tiles stepped on, in which case you're just going to be having the same amount of battles but faster.
Doubt it, or else I would have heard the complaints somewhere.
Maybe nobody minds as much as you :P
But it's pretty common for tile-based RPGs to do RNG and other events based on number of steps. Pokémon's egg hatching being a prime example.
Time based would mean you could stand still for 5 mins between battles and get one every tile, which is very unlikely.
Still, give it a go, let us know what it's like.
Nah, I have a disease that compels me to only play games as they were officially produced. I make an exception for translation patches because, well, I have no other choice. But I want all glitches and annoyances there as the original game had. That way I can hate or love the game as it was originally intended.
Okay it's definitely tile based. A value gets written to a memory location after each battle (and at boot) which is how many steps you will take til the next battle triggers. There are instructions to make a patch that increases the max possible value there. So where before it might be between 1 and 10 tiles, now it would be between 1 and 20, say. Want me to make you the patch? Or you okay with the default?
Me? Thanks, but no. The original developers intended for me to hate the encounter rate in the SNES version, so I won't betray their wishes.
*Also, don't worry, I know how to make cheats :P

Haha, fair enough. I personally love doing the odd tweak. Fixing the brick bug in Mario 1/Lost Levels in All-Stars, for example.
(I should make it and add it to the QoL Patches thread, though..)

hakchi2 version 1.1.0. Already managed to fix it by rebooting my PC and using one of the USB ports on the back (instead of the front) though.
I've run into another problem: I installed the NES dual-boot module so I can switch to the NES Classic's menu from my SNES mini. Games are working great, but I can't power off the console properly - I just get a C8 error. I'm assuming this happens because I have 31 icons on the NES menu: the 30 NES games + the "Switch back to SNES Classic" button. Is there a way to solve this problem?
Sorry, I have zero experience with the dual boot setup. :(
Weeeeeeeeel, that's a mess ain't it?
Though, it boots... is that progress or as it was from the start?
Domino089 from RHDN told me that since ID EF10 (in Hakchi) has fixed sound issues before, then we were wondering if some of you might test a few games to see if the ID fixes some of the sound issues. Hopefully this ID (or another yet to be discovered one) becomes the magical ID that fixes sound issues, like 1068 was for games with graphics issues.
If you are not familiar with the sound issues for the following games, then please try them without the ID first so you can identify the problems, and then use the ID and check if the sound is better or fixed. Please use Hakchi directly, do not use SFROM Tool for testing.
Earthworm Jim 2
Weird sounds replace the accordion music in the Nintendo logo. Jim doesn't yell when getting hit.
Micro Machines
Music playback issues: stutters, skips, distorts.
Plok
Annoying clicking noise as part of the music.
Space Megaforce
Bass sound in music 'pops' at high level
Super Pinball Behind the Mask
Audio popping on bass instruments.
Terminator
Audio vanishing during gameplay.
Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits
Most games lack or have garbled audio, though Sinistar is fine.

What's the name of a website that was posted here some weeks ago, it's a new site and had lots of info, guides, mods, about hacking the SNESC. I think they were even releasing a new mod, can't even remember what it was for. But they had programs to automatically migrate from one hakchi to another or something like that.
I swear I bookmarked it, but apparently I didn't.
It's not snesclassicmods.com.

I spent this morning doing a bunch of tests on games. Feel free to review over the sheet here ( link ) for any updates.
I never did test Chrono Trigger with the IDs. Maybe after I smash on this pizza.
If the ID fixes the sound issue, please do another test to make sure some other scenes do not get broken.

Load the 3rd save, go to the right stairs, board the epoch, full speed ahead, select 1999 apocalypse, the select Fight.
You'll see a sequence of Lavos shooting fire and a mode 7 map will be shown. Check if that looks ok.
Also, the ship will try to crash into lavos once you select "Fight", the cutscene it shows is an interlaced scene not seen anywhere else on the game. Check if that one looks ok.
I completed a full walkthrough of Battletoads in Battlemaniacs with the new ID and can confirm that the game is now flawless from start to finish! :D
I still find it weird that a game that has "Battle" in its title has only two stages where you actually... battle, and 6 (including the bonus rounds) where the main focus is something else entirely.

New Rock n Roll Racing patch. First report says everything is perfect. But we can't add it until we have your seal of approval.

Robin64 can you make one of those direct feed videos of yours for Super Aleste / Space Megaforce? Sluffy wants to hear what and where is the problem exactly because all the videos are available are not direct feed and have background noise. If you wouldn't mind, do a video for the following games too so we can have them on file as to what the problem is exactly: Earthworm Jim 2, Plok, Troddlers, Terminator.
Okay.
Plok: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmtIykxegGM
Troddlers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opQsTG3NhoI
Space Megaforce: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKHYz-bsQNY
The Terminator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg__P9mHZMQ
Earthworm Jim 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYH2eMnRIKU
So it seems Plok, Troddlers, and Space Megaforce have the same bug between them. You can hear a click that stands out as part of the music that shouldn't be there. The other two are something else.

It does fix the two bugs I reported, unfortunately it introduces a new one.
In the car shop, the cars' rotation animation is broken and skips. See video:

I see all this confusion about Panic Bomber W. I'm pretty sure Hakchi just adds the preset ID automatically since it uses SA-1, I dont recall having any problem loading this game when I tested it.
This is similar to the Dragon Ball Z Hyper Dimension issue. I can't vouch for the tool since I dont use it.

Yes, there are lots of other games with this similar issue. Frantic Flea does the same thing - but when I tested it on Higan it seemed like this sound was actually correct, but Higan does a better job muting it. Canoe is just like TURN THAT TO 11 BRUH and blows your speakers
Sluffy talked about it in a post when discussing Frantic Flea.
According to DarkAkuma's preset ID list
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PbIPVA4NpFEXs1zk249aR3FSuBTY3r-ajpTq3dP3GnQ
Chrono Trigger should be using 110C for the US version.
EDIT: Nevermind. An orange box on his sheet means guess work so Chrono Trigger very well could be 110B

110B in sfrom tool, Dark Akuma has it listed as MegaMan X PAL for that ID which was never released on the VC. See the list here for release order for the Wii VChttps://www.gametdb.com/Wii/List?q&p=37
Well his list does have a note for Chrono Trigger that says the ID could be one less than what he has there, so it's possible Chrono's real ID is 110B and not 110C.
And for Megaman X Pal ID 110B, it does say he can't get it to work, so the ID could be completely wrong.
And if Bosco said the 110B ID fixed the sound issues, then that's probably Chrono's real ID.

Tried it too. Much better, no issues at all when there is transition to menus, only when opening the world map with select you can hear the sound skip and pop.
Still, huge improvement. Thanks everyone for keeping working on it.
You should be able to run cheats via Retroarch, but I cant help you beyond that
