For anyone coming from Hakchi 2.30, the folder editing options is no longer under 'Settings' and is now moved to 'Structure', under the Settings tab.
Got my NES and SNES Classic yesterday and after watching this video it has dispelled any worries I had about adding additional games to them. Thank you for your hard work on making this tutorial!
thanks for the disclaimer about breaking the SNES system. that was a major hesitation.
Just installed "Zombies Ate My Neighbors." That's all I need.
Happy Holidays, dude!
Your video motivated me to finally flash my Super NES Classic to a few more missing SNES gems to the list.
I did mines over an old Windows 7 Desktop for the extra challenge, to those installing the driver for the first time like note Hakchi app is going to indicate that your Super NES classic is not responding and for you to restart. Check the driver installation status in your taskbar, in Windows 7 this takes at least 10 minutes to install and may even require a restart of your PC for it to finish loading the driver. One driver might fail that references Wifi, but it will be done when it's mostly green check marks and the taskbar icon of the USB plugged in device is no longer searching for driver.
Go back through the steps in this video to install the Hakchi soft and it should be able to communicate with your Super NES Classic.
vh9network how did it go ???
kinda sounds mess :/
Just modded my SNES mini using this guide. Was so easy! Thanks a lot Patton! 😁👍
I just got one today. I plan on modding it this weekend. I want street fighter alpha 2 for my snes. I used to have that game and I loved it. There's a few others I want too.
Bullshit
Nice PP, this scene moved so quickly within the past 8 months. Glad to see new updated content, that's keeping up with the scene :D
I like these little byte sized hakchi2 CE "how to" videos. Sticks to one topic, clear and focused. Maybe you could do different byte sized videos, like one for; USB Hosting, Storing HMODs on USB, Installing Retroarch, Installing a PS1 game and BIOS, Understanding Mame, and which Roms and Romsets and installing a Mame game, Installing a other systems (a video for each), Installing and modding your Snes/Nes Mini :)
Oh you know it man. That's exactly my plan, I'm condensing the videos while still trying to make them really easy to follow.
This was the video that introduced me to the world of emulation and game preservation. A lot of fun games (like Golden Axe and Rolling Thunder) became accessible to me, so thanks very much man.
Your explanation is fast and easy to understand, I have and SNES arriving and I want to add some games, thanks a lot, it really helped
How did it help when it hasnt arrived yet?
I have my SNES Classic modded and it runs fine. My navigation menu is a large directory system set up that helps me find what game I'm looking for. I first list all of the console manufacturers (Nintendo, Sega, etc..), then each of the specific consoles (Gameboy, gba, SNES, Etc..), then an alphabetical listing of all the games that are split into folders of no more than 28 titles each. A lot of people probably have their SNES Classic set up in this similar fashion, especially if they have several games like me and find it easy and useful. I wanted to share my SNES classic with my girlfriend, but she finds my directory system to find games, a pain in the ass and too complicated. She's only a casual gamer, but had previously figured out my modded Wii's menu, so I got her to make a list of her favorite 30 games that she wanted to play and then I would add extra copies of them in one single folder just for her. In a perfect world, I could just drag and drop another copy of one of my ROMS into her folder on hakchi, but it can't be done without hakchi "updating" and relocating my previous ROM file instead of treating it like a separate title. I'm quite new at this, so is it possible for a way to place the same ROM in two locations (Menu/Directory) as well as give a matching ROM/Title two different names? Example: I need to place the ROM titled: "Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo NES)" in her menu/folder while my exact ROM duplicate titled: "Super Mario Bros." sits in my "NES" folder without any of the two ever interfering with their menu locations as well as no conflicts with their title/name that's listed in both locations. It's a weird request and problem and I am somewhat sleep deprived. If anyone can help, it would be awesome. Sorry for the lack of legibility.
I get what you're saying, I do not think it is possible to have the same game in two locations. It's something you can post in the suggestions channel here though discord.gg/96DKEdd
Every other way I’ve seen to do this is incredibly easier. This dude cares about his sponsors and nothing else.
Couldn’t be a more simpler video, good job dude. Hope to see more videos!
Hey bud thanks!
Thank you so very much Patton for making this tutorial easy and understandable to me and other people who want to bring out snes classics potential. Looking forward for more videos related on this one
Thank you!
Bro it reminds me of like when my original Xbox got modded, I had over like 1200 games on it, PC and arcade games, games from almost every system that was made prior to that. That's cool to see that can be done to this like that!👍
Super easy right?
I nominate you for some kind of Award for Excellence in SNES Classic hacking made extremely clear and simple. Thank you!
If you're having an issue saying "the inf file you selected does not support this method of installation" look into the drivers folder of installation and unzip the usb file, worked for me after that.
Have you had any copyright issues with this vid? I want to make a Spanish version of this tutorial for people that don't speak English.
I have not, be my guest!
Hello Patton. First of all, thanks for all help and support to nes/SNES mini owners. I've just bought my SNES mini (European) and I'm starting to learn how to hack watching a several of videos. Your tutorial is the one more updated to this date, but I have 2 questions about the process. 1- Using the newest Hakchi CE is not necessary to dump the system kernel as backup? Because I couldn't find on hakchi an option to do that and in your tutorial you don't mention that when you're teaching how to hack. Everyone else tells to do that as first thing. 2- I also saw in other tutorials to turn off your SNES mini at the moment you've installed the custom kernel, and reconnect and put o "developer mode" when you're installing retroarch and also do the same thing when synchronize games at the end. In your tutorial you just connect one single time and keep going doing all process without disconnecting/reconnecting. Thank you so much for your help!
That green OK icon reminds me of the MOTOROLA SPL days back in 2004 lol if anyone remembers mods on old flip phones. Nice videos man
Just reading the comments and I am glad to see that you are a quality and responsive uploader. That's refreshing. Thank you.
Oh thank you! I appreciate that!
Patton Plays sooo what are some recommended roms?
I know in the vid you explained that you weren’t able to say it. But fold up a piece of paper with rom suggestions and slide that my way eh:)
Great tutorial. Easy and accessible explanation. Appreciate your clear explanation and step by step guidance. This has helped me to master modding my nes classic. WIll do the same wiht the SNES classic when it arrives next week. Thanks mate!
Awesome! Glad to help!
Thanks this video helped a lot found what I was missing through your video.
Money tip - Use the cable that came with your mini, not an extra one you have lying around. Run Hakchi as Admin, which is right click and Run As Administrator. My first attempt failed, but I had no indication of a fail, and when I plugged in the SNES mini to the TV there we NO games on it. I synced again after flashing the custom kernel and all the original games plus the ones I added were there. Good vid, but I'd like to have it broken down with a specific one for each system.
Love the 'Time Lord' musical intro
Noelio Emerald-Isle actually pretty loud that I knew this one!
Worked perfectly. Thanks, my man, for a very informative and simple video.
Where you find the roms?
@@jdgames1736 Assuming you own them for the console already 😉, there are complete packs to download from various torrenting websites. IPtorrents may be one of them, but I'm sure similar packs can be found on non-private trackers.
Thank you very much, Patton. I'm not a total idiot when it comes to PCs but it was becoming a little confusing trying to follow old videos/documentation. This is a breeze now. Much appreciated!
Awesome! That's why I updated everything, I'm glad it's working for you.
Praise Lord I did it. I don't know how, but I did it. I deleted and reuploadet Hakchi2 over and over again. Hakchi2 CE v3.4.1 was very helpful. Thank you Patton and vh9network.
I finally got Dragon Ball Z Hyper Dimension to work. Thanks.
Thanks, this worked great (I especially appreciate the walk-through of adding additional emulators). One recommendation for a future update would be to include a step for backing up the stock Kernel.
You don't do that portion with CE anymore.
Great walkthrough of the whole process!
No doubt the best guide to hack the snes mini! Thank you a lot man! Now I finally can play again all the Mega Drive, Game Gear and Game Boy games I used to play during my childhood!
This dude is awesome. I'm late to this video, of course. But these videos helped a bunch. He also helped me a great deal on Discord.
so much for it not bricking the console, I already had alot of games installed to my nes classic, and I just tried to add a couple more, and when I followed your tutorial this time, my entire nes classic was wiped clean
Your console isn't bricked. I'm not sure what you did but you can get assistance here. discord.gg/Kh9p8wT
Worked great. Nes Mini 2018 release here. Not single problem. Thanks a lot! Cheers from Serbia :)
Awesome! Glad to help!
Thanks for the video and replying quickly on discord. Keep up the good work🤙🏿
Thank you so much for this video! Made installing everything super easy, and my most important thing of getting Retroarch on there being included was wonderful.
Thank you so much. Got 50 new games so far.
Awesome!
What did you download it on
You can also righ-click on the game and "Select emulation core", which will change the cmd line for you.
I thank you very much for the updated tutorial, Patton! I appreciate how you acknowledge the the progression and evolution of the mods and techniques for modding with a new video. I am curious about something.
One of your last tutorials used the hakchi "Easy Installer" App, but here it isn't referenced. Would you recommend/not recommend using this other tool anymore?
Thanks again for your time!
Yeah from what I've heard the app is out of date and will no longer be supported :/. It's really unfortunate because I thought that was an incredibly easy way to get things going. I think because of the mod store and having everything available right away they thought that the easy installer method was obsolete.
Thank you, this video was very helpful for me
I'm glad I could help!
Patton Plays I'm surprised that Nintendo themselves didn't fill up the hard drives capacity.
Do you need to just turn on the power switch after you flash the kernel for the first time?
I really enjoy the fact that this is even possible. However, there should be a very strong warning regarding FDS(Famicom Disk System) players. It's probably way way easier for you to just buy a Famicom and disk system than trying it with retroarch and the snes/nes classic. You will constantly run into problem after problem after problem with it. Some of the problems are from Nintendo themselves. Some of the problems are from hackchi2 and or retroarch.
I recently decided to go the hack route since Nintendo hasn't bothered giving us the ability to add games to either classic version. One of my biggest desires was to be able to play Famicom disk system games like Zelda, Zelda 2, doki doki panic etc. Basically original versions of games. Which I've never played. However, by the time I got hackchi, retroarch...there were already a plethora of problems. First off none of the games would work with retroarch because of a missing bios file....which was recent. Originally, I understood that you could play these games because the bios file was already within retroarch. That is no longer the case.
So I spent at least two days trying to find this one random bios file for FDS and found it on an older youtube video, oddly enough but the name of the file was all in uppercase. I then learned after using that file that the name of the file must be all in lowercase...not to mention the previous attempt of finding this bios file before the older youtube video which never worked at all. This one however did, once I changed the name, it worked.
Then came the current plethora of problems, which I've spent days trying to figure out. I will note all of the bottom stuff began after I got the right bios file to work.
Zelda no densetsu - The hyrule fantasy...basically the original FDS version of The legend of Zelda on the NES. It loads the game. Once it loads I ran into a huge obstacle of which I haven't figured out yet....the controller for the SNES classic will not work. Even if you go into custom hotkeys and map them on retroarch. I have tried several different roms of this same game and ALL of them to have the same issue.
Link no Bouken....basically Zelda II on the NES. This one not only would load but plays great!!! There's only one problem. There are no overworld items. Heart containers, Magic containers, statues...which you need to advance to the next overworld area etc. The items in the dungeons are there! Controller works great on this one. I tried multiple versions of this game as well...Version 1.0 and 1.1 and both have this same error...likely due to both emulators on retroarch.
Doki Doki Panic - Again controller will not work...even if custom mapped.
These are the only three I've tried and I can only imagine other games being even more of a nightmare. The goal simply is to play these games in their original format. Nintendo will not give me that ability and even after trying to get this ability it was a failure. Do not bother looking through google either...the information you find will be scant at best.
Do not bother with FDS on SNES or NES classic unless you are a master programmer or computer wiz. In fact...do not even bother with FDS on PC because you will have the same results! If anyone reading this all the way to this point is awesomesauce at this crap and can find it in their heart to help this one random person who is dying to play Zelda 1 and 2 for FDS on the SNES classic and make a thorough video detailing everything you need to do to get this stuff working...I would absolutely be eternally grateful!

@@PattonPlays I figured out most of it. Most roms online for Zelda 2 are not complete. I found a patch for it that fixes the things missing and now it plays great. Zelda 1 and doki doki panic also had patches. Hackchi2 does not recognize that there are patches for these games. Once I did those....they work great. Sincerely, thank you for offering to help. The only game that seemed to work fine from the start was Metroid...I had no problems with that game at all. Your tutorials are extremely helpful when first adding games. I do have a question though...after I have added games and want to add more later do I still have to flash the system? Do I uncheck all of the games currently on the system other than the new ones? Thanks a bunch!
I have a question, ok so recently I got the NES(I've had the SNES and hacked that using the older hakchi, now that older one application from months ago still has all my SNES, GBA and NES games I added to that when I dl from roms online) If I want to add or delete games from my SNES that's already hacked, do I use that same version(the older) or the newer? Is there a way I can add the newer ones options to the SNES without accidentally deleting or messing up my original SNES hacks? Such as me wanting to add the down+ select update to reset instead of getting up or adding games, removing etc
I haven't hacked my NES yet, but was curious if I can just do that without worrying about the older one. I'll check out some more of your updated classic hacking vids.
Hey yo!
Thanks for the tutorial!
I totally suck at these things but I thought I'd give it a try. My son (9) is wicked into these games. And I grew up playing them so this is awesome!!!!!
There are a few things that I can't figure out and that i haven't been able to get working. I'll try to write in an understandable way.. :)
I'm using Hakchi CE v3.5.3
My snes is connected... the light is green. And I click on add games. I add a rom that I got to it. (I have been trying to do actraiser .. i loved that game as a kid) I see it in added games part above the factory game list. I add cover art for fun and then synch it. Then go to file, exit and unplug snes. The game shows up on my TV in the list. But it doesn't play the game. I added those modules you recommended. It was a bit different finding it from the video. But I got them. The game still won't play. When I select it the TV screen turns black like it's loading then it returns to the selection screen.
In Hakchi i seperated the games by core and I see it is a DOSBox.. maybe I need another mod or another rom..? Yeah.. I just don't know stuff so I thought I'd ask the Gods of knowledge. :)
Oh yeah.. this maybe wicked basic but .. When I go back to connect my snes to my computer do need to go to kernel-install/repair then do the recovery mode every time I connect?
Then the last thing.. sorry.. . :) .. I have only added one game at a time so far. When I reconnect I see the game I had tried to install listed on the screen. But when I add another game it replaces the old one with the new one.. ..there is something simple I'm totally missing.
If you read this... thanks! If you didn't read this thanks as well.. this video is great and your helping out a lot of people!!
Oh yeah, and would no_intro roms work better... saw that somewhere.. but it was in the early hours of last night when I trying to set this up.. :)
Dude, thanks and ... thanks!!!!
Human Jeff
If I remember correctly Actraiser was one of the games you need to run with retroarch and a snes core. In the kmfd mod hub you should see a retroarch extreme, and snes9x2010. I recommend using those to try it out first. Make sure the command line is correct then sync. You only have to install the kernel once, any time after is just syncing the games. I'm not sure about the replacement thing, if you added box art check somewhere else in the list to see if the game moved to another section. It should still be there.
I owe you a beer!
Cool thanks
thanks for the video I got my snes classic modded I just wish you would have gone over some stuff like how to backup your system before you mod it and how to get games on the main screen instead of folders
Backing up your system isn't required anymore. You can only have around 40-45 on the main screen, you just don't enable folders if that's all you want to work with.
When are you making a fresh video about runing PSX games with USB flash using this newest hakchi version ?
Thanks a lot for the videos. You rock !
It will be upcoming. Trying to get the easy ones done first then I'll move on to the disc systems.
Using the SNESclassic with hakchi2CE 3.5.0, I have followed your instructions and I can see the NES games in the menu but it wont start. I have enabled SFRomTool and allso downloaded the moduels as you show in the video. Still dont work. What am I doing wrong?
Yeah sorry, since this video was released the nes cores were removed from the standalone retroarch. So in the mod store you would be looking for the fceumm or nestopia cores, then you would change your command line accordingly.
@@PattonPlays Hi.
I have done this. But still doesnt work. Just black and back to menu...

super awesome and easy proccess. thank you so much.
Just got my NES Classic today and this worked great. All the new NES games I added work. But I have a question. Can I add SNES games on my NES Classic or do I need an SNES Classic?
You can add snes games as well, you just need the Retroarch Neo and snes9x cores from the mod store in Hakchi.
you can also convert NES classic to SNES classic. they have the same hardware. dunno if dualboot is possible.
Is there a reason hakchi is mixing my gb & gbc titles in the program when I sort them by console? I went to sleep they were in separate categories, wake up they’re all mixed up?
awesome video, patton. i bought today the SNES mini and it worked perfectly, just a quick question, if i want run NES games on the SNES i need to download the retro arch core and change the command line? thanks, my man.
That is correct.
I'm not quite sure about something. I just bought the re-release of the NES Mini. Will this hack work with it, or was the first release of the NES Mini used with this hack?
Yes it will
Thanks!
thanks for that man. Really appreciate it
Very helpful thanks.
this helped me so much i cant thank you more
Glad to help!
Dang, thanks for your tutorials, man. I followed one of your previous tuts and have an older version of hackchi. Im not computer savvy (almost computer illiterate actually haha) so is it difficult to update hackchi when my SNES classic is running the older version? That hackchi store looks dope! I’d love a neogeo hmod.
You'll just have to redo some steps by really it's just a matter of flashing your system back to stock. Downloading this version of Hakchi, then following the guide.
I keep getting the "system taking to long to reboot" message. I tried manually creating the driver but that did nothing. If I try to install the driver before the kernel (step 5 which they really should have just allowed you to do as an initial separate step) my computer recognises the SNES but it can't create the driver because the kernel is uploading. I've got a Mac and I'm using VB to try and get this done but nothing's working.
Paul Mackoon use a PC instead.
im using a pc and i am having the same issue
@@moisesmaldonado3210 go on Reddit instead of asking on YT
this happened to me the first time. I then turned off my web browser that had like 12 open tabs on this subject and after that it worked for me. Using an ok but not great laptop.

Question, if i hacked it with a earlier hachi, will i still have to havk it with this? I want to add geneis games, help please

Thanks for putting so much effort into your videos. I love this stuff!
I'm using one of the recently re-released NES Classics and have zero problems adding and playing more NES ROMs. I can't, however, get any of the SNES games to work. I am using hakchi2 CE v1.2.5 and went through your tutorial precisely - even changed the command line to snes9x after installing the RetroArch and SNES9x modules. Everything synchronizes without an error, but when I start the console, none of the SNES games show up, but all of the added NES games do. Any ideas? Is there a setting I'm forgetting to change? Thanks!
There could be, it's hard to tell. If you head over to the Hakchi Resources discord someone will be able to better assist you there discord.gg/96DKEdd
Towards the end did you say/mean you could play NES games on the SNES Classic? If that's that case that would be amazing and would not have to buy the NES Classic
When im in the snes mini, pressing select+start, i get into hackchi menu. I setup control for 8bit control. After that i want to save this control settings so i dont need to do it next time, but i cant save it. I try ”save to core”, but nothing happens. I only see ”…” on right side of screen. Im running fw 1.7.1, any suggestion?
Had a thumb drive with 3000 games for my classic NES but it seemed it burnt out. How do I go about adding all those games again?
Does it matter which version of Hakchi ce I use? I've heard v1.1.0 has more of a success rate. Or is it okay if I use the latest v3.5?
3.5 should work just fine.
@@PattonPlays Oh ok. Cause another UA-camr with a tutorial (8 Bit Flashback)said he heard there's been issues with the latest verison, and latest version of retroarch (specifically due to Nintendo's recent rampage). But sounds like that's not correct. Glad to hear that
@@IanT820 I have the 3.5.0 Hakchi and have followed these steps. Tne NES games does not start. I just get a short blackscreen and then back to main menu.
How do I fix this. SNES games work fine.
Mylingen I am having the same issue. I tried installing another emulator from the mod store but had the same issue. Maybe @PattonPlays can help enlighten us?
Me too. It loads the snes and n64 but anytime I try an nes game I get a C7 error. Weird haha
I'm having issues with SFROM tools when I download it, it doesn't look like yours. It wont open and there is no option to unzip. It's almost like it downloads unzipped. When u synchronize it only makes it to 95 percent and then says Clovershell timeout
I have both a NES and a SNES classic .. witch one you yall recommend hacking?
The one I hack i wanted to put nes, snes and gba games on it....
I was thinking just because of the snes games with more buttons i was thinking of hacking the snes .. what do you guys think?
More buttons=better imo.
I add in roms and when i try to boot them in the snes they end up in a folder and wont open to play. where did i go wrong?
If you go here the guys can give you a hand discord.gg/96DKEdd
you ever figure this out?
Hello. Have you ever gotten an error where the controller doesnt work when you start up a game, giving you a error "Nintendo Clovercon - Controller1 (0/0) not confingured"
Whenever I try to install modules (Retroarch and Cores), it seems like they work, but when I click the "Select Emulation Core" option for a game, the list is empty. Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks for the video. Can you please make an updated video on adding Genesis, Master System and N64? The new update for hakchi 1.2.5 doesn't have the bios and whenever I load games for those systems it just goes back to the home screen
Absolutely!
If I didn’t download the box art originally, can I do it later or would I have to delete everything and start new?
Hi. Loving the content. Which video is best to watch for getting Megadrive games on the SNES Mini and also Arcade Outrun please? I'm not sure what 'add on's' i need to install. Also does the SNES Mini run Super GFX games? Ive always wanted to experience Ghouls n Ghosts. Thanks. Lee
Megadrive games are easy. You need to install Retroarch HMOD, then the Megadrive core (Genesis Plus GX) HMOD. Now you can just add the Megadrive roms. Hakchi should sort out the command line for you.
OutRun is a little more involved if it's through Mame. There is now a standalone version of OutRun on Hakchi. It runs on the 'Cannonball' engine, and uses the original arcade rom files.

Hi I just modded my snes mini, and it works perfectly. The only thing I noticed was that when mario comes in from the meny to auto play the games, the screen just freezes for 2 seconds before it cancels the in game auto play. This is just with the games I've downloaded. Doesn't really matter though but Iwas wondering if this is because I did something wrong, or if it's because the computer itself has not played them before, therefore no auto play to feature.
Great video, Patton. If you or anyone else can help me, I did exactly as you taught in this video. I use Hakchi 3.5.3 and when I open the games emulated by retroarch the quality of the image gets worse and does not appear the customized edges of the Nintendo on the sides. How to solve these problems? I will really be grateful for the help ..
I need help. I installed everything on my snes classic with retro arc. Everything was working fine. Then my friend wanted me to do it to his snes. I plugged his into the same computer and used the same program for his and everything worked fine on his snes. I then decided to add 1 game to mine so I plugged it in the same pc and did everything normally. Now when i turn on my snes classic nothing happens, it just goes to a black screen and then won't turn off when i hit the switch. I have to manually unplug the power cable from the back. I tried uninstalling retro arc and going back to original kernel and then flashing the custom one back on and it didn't work. I heard somewhere that I have to maintain 2 different installation folders but I have no idea how to do this. Is my system bricked now? Anything at this point would help
When I tried doing this a week ago, I used the hakchi3.20. When I thought I had all the games on, I went to use the classic, and it immediately shut down. And it was the re-release of the classic I tried modding with.
The new NES Classics aren't compatible with 2.3. you'd have to use CE 1.2.5
Patton Plays unfortunately my wife is too scared for me to try again. Lol
It never rebooted. Hakchi 2.3.1 was working fine, but I decided to follow your suggestion to update it. Now what?
I have the hakchi v3.8.0 (Debug) installed on my computer. I am trying to start with flashing the kernel to my NES Classic. I am holding the reset button and hitting the power button and it is not working. Is there any advice or help that I can get?
Just wondering, is there a way to get Super Famicon games to work? I haven't been able to find a tutorial on that. Retroarch does not seem to work with Super Famicon games
Yeah it looks like I'll have to go over snes/sfamicom games as well.
Nice tutorial! Do I click Install/repair everytime I connect the SNES Mini to a PC to do stuff(after the first initial installation)? Or can I start hakchi and just flip the power switch on the mini?
Nope, just for the initial flash.
Hope they do this with the upcoming NeoGeo Mini, some really great games are missing in the International version.
I'm really excited for the Neo Geo Mini too!
Question..I m having trouble finding some for nes games that work..I know anything from techmo bowl.org works but every time I try loading all the games..the,art and game shows up on nes but it's only a empty folder
How do you actually patch the game with SFrom tool? or is it automatic when enabled?
Patton,
You said to limit your NES games to 40 without additional storage. Is that 40 with the original 30 (10 extra, 40 total), or the original 30 plus 40 (40 extra, 70 total)?
Also, are VPN’s recommended for ROM downloads?
Never mind, you meant without folders.... got mine yesterday and it’s loaded! Thanks for the vid, keep up the good work.
Just watched this and gonna follow it tonight. So you have to have folders for over 40 games? Didn't see that covered - is that straight forward?
It differs between the two systems but 40 is the general safe number everyone recommends. Check the playlist and you'll see another video I did on creating folders.
So how'd it turn out?
Do I have to have the cord that comes with it or can I use any cord that fits into it's power
Also after I install a Sega Genesis or snes game when I try and run it on the nes it just goes back to my home screen on my nes classic
I am taking this baby step by baby step so the first thing I need to know is, Should I have my SNES classic already plugged into my PC when downloading and extracting Hakchi? I do not have any ROMS yet as I need to find some. Thank you for any help. :)
No you don't have to have it connected to run hakchi for the first time.
When I install 20 games, for example, everything is fine. When I install 60 games, the console does not want to shut down. After turning off, the error "C8: An Error occurred" appears on the screen, and the light is still on the console and does not turn off.
How to fix please?
You have to create folders. No more than 40 games per folder to stop that error.
Does this tutorial fix the ability to play troublesome games like Earthworm Jim 2?
Can you do this with a mac because I’m not getting a pc/my own laptop until next month or so.
I wanted to add an SMWCentral ROM Hack called New Super Mario World 1 The 12 Magic Orbs on the SNES Classic when I get me one.
This tutorial was perfect! Everything has loaded correctly for me. I'm only having two minor issues. The original 21 SNES games have no sound, and I'm having sound issues with most GBA games. Any tips for solving this? I've scoured everywhere for answers.

Thanks bro. U rock
Very nice video, thank you for this! :D
But i have one small question, let say that i add more than 20 SNES games, do i have to go through every game, and remove the line "Clover-Canoe-shvc-wr-rom" and replace it with "Snes9x"?
Or is there any easier way to do it? :)
You can highlight all the games, right click and select emulation core. Then highlight again and select what core to use.
Patton Plays nice, thank you! :D
hello, great video, Have you tried to hack a brand new nes mini? I have some subs that have problems with the new nes minis, it seems there is some diferent with this new nes minis.
When using CE there is no issue, but they cannot be hacked with 2.30.
with hakchi CE there are some problems too, Have yoy tried with new ones? thanks a lot :)
I haven't had any reports of people having trouble with the new NES releases and Hakchi 1.2.5 :/
I just picked up a SNES Classic from BestBuy about 3 hours ago, and used your tools with NO problem! THANK YOU! WOOT WOOT!...
noahsobd for real? It worked?
If I already installed driver from one computer do I need to do it again from another
I can't use hakchi with my windows machine (xp), it seems to need a newer net framework, such a disappointment. Is there a hakchi for retro computers?
thanks,
Mitch
How retro are you talking? If you head over to the Hakchi Resources Discord they can get you sorted out! discord.gg/96DKEdd
Was able to find an older version (2.0.20.20) that worked with windows xp and im all set!
Is there any benefit (internal, performance...) to pick the SNES classic over the NES classic if my goal is to use it with Hakchi? It seems like all kinds of game will run on both systems. I'm asking because I prefer the look of the NES.
No difference.
