OK. Let's keep all discussion of this on RHDN as it seems have taken off a bit there. Cheers!

Does everything here apply to the Super Famicom Mini? Will this change everything to the NA region?
But... but... I thought the real game was installing, patching looking for info and striving for the perfect setup! :D
That being said, Hakchi CE now has some advantages. Namely the differential updates. I have an internal SD mod and the game installation is reduced to only uploading the newest game additions.
On the other hand, I had some serious problems, too. Backups all the way!
"Save early, save often" (was that Sierra?)
I've got one and it does apply to the SFC Mini. It won't make it everything to NA but the SFC and SNES ROMs are all NTSC.
There is a patch to make the interface in English but when I saw the size of the file (it seemed large to me) I passed on it.
Sounds good to me, I just want it to stay as is (with more games that I should soon be able to rip).
It's been a while since I hacked my SFCmini but IIRC the English menu hack wasn't worth using the space on it versus having it for game space.
I think the SFC's menu looks better than the SNESc... the SNESc 's font looks awful.
Changing menus to English doesn't interest me; I'd like everything to stay as close to the original format as possible. I don't have a SFC mini yet myself, but I bought it as a gift, and I liked the format it came with (when I played it with the kids).
In an ideal world, Nintendo would have carried the virtual console over from the Wii U to the Mini, but I suppose hacking it will give me access to more games anyways. I think I read that the limit was 60 or so games though? Then again, I might not go over that.
Anyone feel like helping out testing games that haven't been tested before?
There are tons of Japanese games that have not been tested yet, or at least reported. I would like to do something about it, so I compiled a list of games that haven't received reports yet. Since there are so many, and I don't want to overwhelm anyone, I will post a list of 15 games, split in segments of 5 games. So anyone that wants to test will take any of the segments (or all?) and claim it so that no one else repeats the same tests.
I will then add the games and results to the Compatibility doc and to sluffy's doc, and if a game has an issue, then sluffy might fix it in the future.
Some guidelines:
Here's the first list:
Set 1
Angelique - Voice Fantasy (Japan)
Animal Buranden - Brutal (Japan)
Aoki Densetsu Shoot! (Japan)
Appleseed - Prometheus no Shintaku (Japan)
Aqutallion (Japan)
Set 2
Aretha (Japan)
Aretha II - Ariel no Fushigi na Tabi (Japan)
Aryol (Japan)
Asameshimae Nyanko (Japan)
Atlas, The - Renaissance Voyager (Japan)
Set 3
Bakukyuu Renpatsu!! Super B-Daman (Japan)
Bakumatsu Kourinden Oni (Japan)
Bakutou Dochers - Bumps-jima wa Oosawagi (Japan)
Barbarossa (Japan)
Battle Commander - Hachibushuu, Shura no Heihou (Japan)

Some guidelines:
- Use a No-Intro set.
- Use Hakchi to add the game, do not use SFROM Tool.
- Just test if a game boots, check the menus and start the gameplay. If everything is fine, then good. If there's an issue with the graphics or sound, please report back with as much detail as possible, and if you can, make a video or take a pic of the issue. Even reporting something silly like a game giving a black screen in silence versus a game giving a black screen with music is sometimes the trigger that allows sluffy to fix a game. So don't skimp on the details.

Set 1
Animal Buranden - Brutal (Japan)

Did wonder when we'd get around to all the Japanese games.
Just to add to the above, my version of The Sheet has a JP Games tab that contains every Japanese game we know to have an official Preset ID and ideally you would use that when testing. So if the game you are testing isn't there, you'll want 0000 as standard, tweaking to 1016 if you see hi-res, and so on.

That's pretty much it. Era is primarily English-based so that's the games most users would want.
I'd say, for English versions of games that have issues, why not test those to see if the problem exists or not (like Mega Man X2's slowdown or PilotWings weird collision issue with default ID).

Because this is to help the cause, not to advance each person's individual library. And if no one tests those Japanese games, then no one will be able to fix them. That's why I separated the games in chunks of 5, to make it easier for lazy people that would still want to help.
Pilotwings has been fixed for a long time already. There's nothing to be done about MMX2 unless someone converts the game to fastrom.

Just a reminder that the SNES Classic Club exists, and today we've move on to Star Fox.

So whatever happened to trying to fix Yoshi'S Island disappearing background? Did he ever manage to do it or did he give up? :(
Sluffy's been putting out some test patches to get an idea of what route to take, but nothing concrete yet.
There was no conclusive reason as to why the on-board YI works but an added ROM doesn't, right? (Well, flickers IIRC)

http://abload.de/image.php?img=ktshv.jpg, http://abload.de/image.php?img=wfste.jpg I cant figure out how to play this game.
Thanks for the tests Thora-G !!
But next time don't put them in spoiler tags, it actually makes it harder for me to go through the info :P
Angelique - Voice Fantasy. Sorry but I don't understand the report? I can't see what the problem is.
Atlas, The - Renaissance Voyager. The game actually uses hi-res, can you use ID 1610 (Hakchi) / 1016 (SFROM Tool) and see if it makes the map and text look sharper?
For Barbarossa all you have to do is press Y when you are at the vehicle selection screen, pick the second option and press B.
As for the other games, if you think they are fine, then there's no need to take pics of them. Just report on the ones that have issues.
Don't worry about not understanding how to play the game, right now the tests are more about apparent issues like testing if the game loads at all, or if there are any apparent graphical issues.

Ah, ok. I thought there was an issue I wasn't seeing. Thanks!
Thora-G can you take a pic of the "Altron presents" logo in Aryol? It's a hi-res logo and I want to know how it's displaying.

No Problem here is the Aryol "Altron Logo " - http://abload.de/image.php?img=60oz1.jpg
Barbarossa ingame : http://abload.de/image.php?img=1ks1x.jpg
Atlas Ingame: http://abload.de/image.php?img=nusgp.jpg With Hi Res the Ui on the Bottom is black
Yes here with ID http://abload.de/image.php?img=nusgp.jpg and here without the ID http://abload.de/image.php?img=iaraf.jpg
I will check Aryol with 1610
Edit: No change with 1610 looks the same

It probably also goes off screen (on top of being glitchy). Check his original image, it shows it going offscreen.
I'm up for testing exclusive SFC games. After all a bunch of those are in my favorites list. T&E SOFT golf games, Umihara Kawase, etc
However, I'd rather not test crap games that nobody will ever play. So is there any way we can prioritise good games rather than simply going through from A to Z?
Just a thought.

Well, look up the doc, check if your fav game is there. If it's not, or if it doesn't say "Working", then test the game and report back.
I can't prioritize it the way you want because I have no idea what games other people might like. It's best to go in order to be able to maintain some sort of organized structure and minimize mistakes.
Demi, you have Kirby's Fun Pack as not working, you have to use the newest EvilGames NTSC patch for it and use the preset 10A1(SFromtool) or A110(hakchi) and it works fine.

Not necessarily.
Thanks for the reports gingerbeardman . Weird that New 3D Golf Simulation - Waialae no Kiseki has graphic issues, but the USA version (True Golf Classics: Waialae Country Club) is marked as working fine? Does anyone know if it's a bogus report?

Question about the NES mini space ( not snes ), im at 281MB out of 333MB with my game installed. I dont plan to use much really the built in save point system ( only want to use the save from the game mostly ) and retro arch auto save state is disable. Im just wondering if i could squeze more game ( like to go to around 300 MB), leaving an extra 30 MB, should be ok so i wont get an error ? Never had any so far, i just want to be precaucious.
