Just do a search for the SFROM Mega Pack. Save yourself the hassleIs there a step by step process on applying patches for Terranigma? I have the NTSC patched ROM the preset is right but no sound still. I know I'm just missing a step any tips? edit: I'm guessing I need to do an additional patch that isn't in the rom? idk
How so?Avoid the Terranigma patch that "fixes" the font though. It fucks up other areas of the game.
Does the same thing happen in Secret of Mana VWF?It adds a variable width font but doesn't compensate for the decreased width of many words, so the cursor doesn't line up horizontally with menu items. It's... annoying, but perfectly playable if you want the VWF.
So what happened to Terra? Rush job?
Since you're familiar with both versions, you prefer the original, yeah?Couldn't really say. Different hacker, different priorities. But yeah, they changed the font then basically left it at that. They didn't realign it in text boxes, so everything is shoved over to the left with the right hand side of boxes empty. They didn't adjust menu pointer positions.
(They also didn't rewrite the script to take advantage of the new space like FuSoYa did with Secret of Mana, but that's entirely a preference thing)

I played through Terranigma last year without the font fix and thought it was perfectly fine, but I haven't even seen what it looks like with the fix.
The preset ID 9C10 is added by default in hakchi for this game (as SA-1 was detected and 9C10 was a base for that on the first hakchi versions), but a ton of other configuration SA-1 preset ID/extra byte value give the same result.
However, in all cases, the save state/rewind feature make this game glitched. I contacted the creator and he send me this kind answer : a bunch of test wait after that (if some players do these before I had time to make them all, it shoud be also appreciate ;) ) :

I'm at work, but it sounds like you just assigned the task to yourself. If it can help understand even a little bit how Canoe works that is a huge step forward
So I have a question that perhaps someone can answer. I've tried searching on Reddit and Google and couldn't find a solution. I'm using RetroArch and playing the FF Advance games. There is some nice choppiness with the music whenever you get in an airship on FF4A. Is there any setting I can tweak on the emulator to fix that or is that just a limitation of the emulator and the mini?
Are you using mGBA? There are a number of GBA games that cannot run full speed in mGBA on the NES/SNES Classic. For these, you usually want to use gpSP. But in order to use the gpSP core, you also need to have the GBA bios installed on the system.
I modded by SNES classic with hakchi2 two years ago, I wanted the to keep the built-in UI so I didn't use retroarch (sp). It was a bummer that half the games I flashed didn't work (Knights of the Round, Tetris Attack, Street Fighter Alpha 2) but at the time I didn't know any other options.
- Is there an updated step by step guide to flashing your SNES classic from 2019?
- Do any of the hakchi updates fix game compatibility?
- If not, is there a singular place to find all the necessary patches for each game to work on canoe?
I found a Google Doc on Reddit but it only lists a game as "currently working" without any distinction for whether it needs a patch or where to find that patch. And if the rom is mistitled then is there something that fixes it?
Sorry and thank you to anyone that points me in the right direction here. If nothing here has a good answer, I'm open to starting from scratch and using retroarch.
Ok thank you, I may search for a Retroarch install guide and start from scratch. Using my 8bitdo SN30Pro controller has helped me rediscover my love for the SNES classic. Shame about the input lag, heh.Beyond what Robin64 has said about where to find patches, there are still some games that won't run on Canoe and you'll need Retroarch +SNES9x for those. It seems to be a common assumption that putting Retroarch on the console replaces the NES/SNES Classic's UI, but that is not the case. You simply launch the game from the same UI like any other game; the system then launches it in Retroarch.
Screw Retroarch. And hakchi updates did nothing to fix compatibility.

Download the patch for the game you want to fix.
Ha, yeah my rom collection was shared by my friend about 15-20 years ago.Make sure you have good ROMs, too. There are so many floating around out there that are just shite, and while they "work fine" on emulators, Canoe is more picky. The no-intro pack is what you want to find.
- If a game is marked as working and you still have issues loading, double check your ROM (no-intro preferred) or patching method for headers (headers = bad).
Is there something confusing about what I said? Should I make the font bigger? Bolder?

No, that wasn't confusing (outside of me not initially knowing what no-intro means). I think it's just difficult to tell when a rom just needs to patched (after being able to use it for 20 years on my PC Emulators). I'm still struggling to learn what patch I need.I did put a little note up top on that document

Ah, that makes sense- thank you!Nah, "no-intro" refers to a group that curates and packages releases of only the good ROMs. Though it is called that because their initial goal was to remove those GBA intros that you refer to.

Oh god what have I done....
As some of you suggested, I redownloaded many of my roms.
I also re-read through that Google doc and some of this comments in this thread. It sounded like my best bet was to download SFROM Tool from DarkAkuma, download the patch pack and extract them into the patch folder, open individual roms in the SFROM program and re-save each of them as an SFROM file before adding to hakchi.
I did this for every single game I have. It took me hours. I then re-flashed my SNES Classic and booted it up. Everything looked great.
Nope. Only 4 of 25 games work now. Almost every single game I added now boots with a black screen and a "C7: An Error has occurred" message when I try to restart. Even games that used to work on my last flash now no longer work. I also cannot turn off my SNES Classic. Instead I get a "C8: An Error has occurred" message and it just stays on.
Is there an easy process that I can run every single rom through as a failsafe? It's clear to me that converting every rom as an SFrom with DarkAkuma is not a "catch all" method. I also tried to find "no-intro" versions. Outside of a massive 3gig file, I couldn't find anything that seemed to help (it's still downloading 4 hours later). I found this Dato-Matic website through the spreadsheet and No Intro but I don't want to mess with it yet until I know which options I should check off.
I'm so frustrated.
It was asked for on reddit so I made a patch for the Arcus Odyssey US Prototype rom so it works with Canoe https://www.sendspace.com/file/fjfapq
You should really look up something like "SFROM Pack" on sites like, I don't know, archive.org.
What you're downloading is probably a complete romset so it's ok in that they're clean versions of the roms, but it has a lot of games that you're not interested in (and that's why it's so big)
Whatever you do, you should start from scratch. And be careful with the amount of games you have on any given folder. You shouldn't see more than 60 games per "page"
