I wanted all of the old games on my SNES classic and by watching your videos I now have them. You make the easiest tutorials to follow, if someone watches the video and it doesn't work they screwed up somewhere.
Right now you are the only person I will watch for modding. If it's not on your channel I don't try it. Quality content.
Hey thanks man I appreciate it!
@@PattonPlays can you please send me a link to the nes hsqs files
Thanks for these awesome videos! You have really helped me understand so much, and really get into classic modding. What a great hobby!
I have been going back and forth between this vid, and some others, as well as taking in advice from lots of comments, and I found the below method to be the simplest. Every video I found seemed to take for granted that the viewer would just know about a couple of steps, such as the need for plugging in the console and switching back and forth between firmwares as you add the HSQS and NAND apps. This method is for Hackchi2 CE 3.5.3, so it may be just a bit different that yours, but it worked for me!
SNES Dualboot Directions (This also works in reverse. If you’re modding an NES Classic and adding an SNES HSQS, do the exact same steps, realizing that it is a mirrored process)
1) Load all SNES and NES games that you want to hackchi with all box art.
2) Go to View>Sort By and click System
3) Go to View> Original Games> click At The Top
4) Go to Settings and check Separate Games For Multiboot
5) While running SNES firmware, add the NES HSQS file as a game (You can find these easily online. name it what you want). It should be under SquashFS under Game selection.
6) Load box art of an NES CLASSIC for NES file you just loaded into SNES
7) Make sure all SNES games and the NES HSQS file are checked under Game Selection
8) Plug in SNES Classic and boot it up. Synch selected games.
9) Go to Tools and click Switch Running Firmware to NES System (this is the HSQS file, not the NAND. It is the program for an NES.
10) Your system is now reading as and NES
11) Go to File > Add Custom App. Give the app a name like SNES Classic. This is the folder that when you boot up for system as an NES, it will give you something to click that will reboot your system and take it back to SNES mode.
12) Once this is created, paste this under command line: /bin/hsqs nand
13) Once you do this, that file should now be listed in Game selection beneath /bin/hsqs
14) Add box art for this for an SNES class system. Make sure that this is checked, and all NES games are checked, That all SNES games are UNCHECKED, and importantly, that the NES Classic file (the HSQS you added earlier) is UNCHECKED.
15) Click Synch Selected Games.
You have now added to your SNES classic:
-New SNES games
-an app that when you click is as you run your SNES, will reboot your system as an NES Classic (There will be an original games folder and an Added Games folder. You will find the NES App under Added Games).
When you do this, as you navigate through the games of your NES Classic, you will find under that line up of games that you have an SNES App that when clicked reboots your system as your original SNES (Again, there will be an original games folder and an Added Games folder. You will find the SNES App under Added Games).
You can now go back and forth between playing both systems on your console!
Any idea where to go from here? I followed your tutorial and I can go from the SNES to the NES. However, When I try to use the custom app to go back to the SNES I just get a black screen and nothing happens. There is an input because my monitor is still receiving a signal. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks
i love your intro so much
it doesnt waste out time and gets right to the point
Thank you! Took me a while to make it haha.
Thanks greatly for this tutorial! I was very curious about the version of Kachikachi included in the Shonen Jump Edition. It sounds proper, compared to the original FC Mini and NES Classic. The Quickman test never steers my ears wrong.
This was super helpful, thanks! Now my NES Classic can boot SNES Classic games. Since I already have the SNES 2.4G controller from 8bitdo, that's all I needed to play both!
Your intro music DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!!!
In a good or bad way?
Loving the tutorials Patton. Thanks
Thank you Patton. A Big help as always :)
Nice video but not enough details about setting up the return file. Been messing with this for few hours now and still can't get right. Also, can you pick the games you want to add?
same here
A bit of advice: If you want to add SNES games to an SNES Classic hsqs, selecting "separate games on multiboot" is recommended.
I can find all of the other HSQS files, but I can't seem to find the Shonan Jump one. Where can one be coaxed t o discover that one... Cheers and Thanks.
Hey thanks for the help. I flashed the SNES Euro firmware onto all my snes classic NA's because I prefer the colorful background hehe.
love channel i know this old but got alot of questions
1. i'm getting an nes classic and snes classic nes wil only have extra games, could i use the hsqs dump off my nes for the dualboot on my snes?
2.if i set up retroarch on snes and do a hsqs dump, will the mods be on the dump and use it as a third boot?
3.related to 2 if i do a retroarch build with say mario64 start system and configure my controller and save then dump hsqs will those settings stay in the hsqs?
4.will nes hsqs have all games i install before making hsqs?
hmm when i boot into a different system the return file dont show up
Did you add it to that system?
@@PattonPlays yes i did i followed your tutorial and did what you did but it dont show up when i launch the different system and ce detects it i have to readd the txt file to go back to the stock one
@@kyky121911 Tutorial is not very clear on this. But once you boot into the new system, you need to sync the "return" txt file to that individual system.
@@kyky121911 You might also have to flash the custom Kernel for each new system. And to be clear, you want to uncheck the other systems when you sync the "return" txt file.
Tha t was great, man, thank you so much!
Unfortunately, I have a NEC classic and I've notice that on the SNES games the system doesn't recognise the extra 2 buttons. Is there any way to fix this?
I have my snes mini dual boot to all the snes & nes variations. Every time I switch firmwares the audio from the menu is not present. Even when I load up a game from that system. I have to power down the system & turn it on again & the sound comes back on. I am using a OTG adapter so all the games & .hsqs files are on the flash drive. The only thing on the mini system is the custom kernel & the cores. I am using the trimmed hsqs files. Should I use the regular non trimmed files since I have everything on a flash drive?
Update: this was a Known glitch in hakchi 3.7 it has been fixed in 3.8
I added NES Classic to my SFC Classic (with extra SNES games added). I'm not sure if I did something wrong. I had to switch to NES (USA/Europe) in the Current Games Collection; uncheck all the additional SNES games I had added; check the SNES NAND file; then sync games. Otherwise the SNES NAND didn't appear in my NES games list.
thanks for the tutorial video
Thanks Patton! Greetings from Indonesia
Greetings!
thnx Patton,
Thank you!!!
Thank you for this tutorial.
Just a suggestion, why not share the name of the genesis mini hsqs file to search for in order to dual/multiboot it like you did with the nes/snes classic in this video?
You responded to one of my posts on Reddit (which I appreciate) but since I just watched this and I'm here...
If I use the USB mod for the extra storage, do I have to separate the different system ROMs in folders? Or would Hackchi handle the sorting through the steps listed in this video?
You will still need folders if you are going over 40 games yes.
Patton Plays Would I need to set up folders within my USB drive though? Or does Hakchi sort them within the kernel?
hey, i had the same problem as kyle peters. i guess i didn't add the txt file to the right system, but the tutorial doesn't explain how to do that, it just says to add the txt file the same way as the hsqs files. guess i'll do some experimenting. i see you're doing updated tutorials, maybe you could do an update of this one too, and explain the process of adding the txt file to each system. thanks
i figured it out in case anyone was wondering. i had to choose the system from the current games collection dropdown box and click the sync button for each system i wanted to use
Hey patton.I am having issues with my snes classic when my games are booting? They start up just fine but after a few seconds i get kicked back into the main menu.this happens with all of the roms and consoles in my snes classic except for anything snes. I just updated to the latest hakchi firmware. Please help me!
Any issues with 3.4.1 and snes emulators running on nes classic? I cant get it to run on any of the snes cores.. Using 1.7.3b retroarch
I haven't had any issues personally. If you head over to the Hakchi Resources Discord they can get you sorted out! discord.gg/96DKEdd
Hey could you do a video on how to install hmods with usb? Unless you already did it. Thanks!
I did somewhere on here lol. Do a search for transfer on my list.
Question unrelated to this vid. I’m wanting to change the button combination that brings up the retroarch menu. Start + select is too easy for my kids to open it and jack things up. How do I change it to start + select + L + R?
If you go into the retroarch menu and then I believe the input binds, it should be in that setting somewhere for setting up the controller combination.
Patton Plays Yes that’s correct. I figured it out a few days ago. Thanks.
Instead of dragging a blank text document into the window, why not go to File > Add custom app instead? Also, why have that text file referenced after "/bin/hsqs _nand_"?
Yeah I completely forgot about the add custom app option when I was making this.
I recently updated my Hakchi to 3.8.0, and after trying to switch from the SNES Classic to the NES Classic, the console just hangs in there, so I have to unpulg the power cord, and then it finally boots to the NES Classic system.
How can I fix this?
Mine does the same thing..I've tried everything...
will the snes controller mayflash adapter work on the nes classic?
The link is down. Can you share the link again? Please? :(
I think I’m missing something. When I boot into SNES I can’t get back to NES. My hsqs files don’t show and I’m stuck in SNES mode.
On the top of hakchi where it says "Current Games Collection", Go to the SNES that you're using (Remember the region) and click on the checkmark on the hsqs file that takes you back and you should be good to go.
I have followed these steps repeatedly with no luck. I have the SNES classic and when I add the trimmed NES file and reboot, none of custom NES games work and none of the original games show up at all, and the text file I created does not return to SNES so I end up having to wipe out the system back to factory. What am I doing wrong?
You can get some help here discord.gg/96DKEdd
I’ve added the txt file to the shonen jump games list but it won’t show up on the games list on the console. What am I doing wrong ? Using a EU SNES mini want to get back to my normal core
It's hard to say. The guys on the discord can help you out discord.gg/96DKEdd
I had a weird situation here I hope you can give me a hand, so, I followed the steps, and for some reason the text file app to go back to the previous firmware appeared with the main games, and then also the access to the NES firmware, (I'm on a SNES) so of course me all excited, went into the NES firmware and got stucked there, without a way to comeback to the SNES firmware, how should I go on from here to fix this? or at least go back to the snes firmw.
I might add I worked on the latest version of Hakchi2 CE (3.5.0)
and my console is a Snes mini (us)
I hope there's a way to add the "return to previous firmware" on the NES that is displaying now, or maybe I should go entirely back to how my console was before modding it?
I just wanted both classic systems :T and I got lucky to find the last snes they had at a decent price, cause the nes was long gone in my country..
Thanks in advance for the reply! :D I really hope I can fix this
You can get some help here discord.gg/96DKEdd
just had the same case. text file is not showing, all the games showed under main (snes) firmware, went into nes and can't go back from there. did you figure it out? could you share the solution?
i cant find shonen jump
Link de arcivos caido, donde se puede descargar los hsqs?
i need help finding the Canoe controller re-mapper now that I installed it. Where do I go to edit the settings?
I've never used it. If you head over to the Hakchi Resources Discord they can get you sorted out! discord.gg/96DKEdd
Can you install different games on each system? For example, if you have a SNES but add the NES HSQS can you add additional NES games to the NES partition only?
Yup, you just have to check the option to separate games for multiboot.
Patton Plays thanks
@@PattonPlays Thanks for the great tutorial , I have a question regarding adding nes games on the nand. As soon as i try to launch the added game the system tells me something is wrong with the save-states and i get a error code : C6: The suspend point is not usable? And the added game will not boot?
I cant find the Famicom Jump HSQS =/
Can this dual boot be done on a USB drive? and also adding more games to both systems?
Yes it can.
my nes classic is now multiboot, but i just noticed something, in-game save from snes doesnt work, do you know how to solve this? I used hsqs 2.0.14-0 snesusa
You can get some help here discord.gg/96DKEdd
When i select mini nes on my mini snes screen goes black for one second and then nothing happens. Please help!
If you go here the guys can give you a hand discord.gg/96DKEdd
Can you keep it so all of the games are still running under canoe (run natively without complex menus)? Also, what is the purpose of the nand file being added (how is it different from the hsqs files) and is it essential? Basically, is everything here essential to dual boot nes/snes classic systems while maintaining the original look and ease of gaming?
As long as you don't add any cores the games with run with the native emulators if they are compatible. The nand file is how you return to the original firmware of your system. It is essential to add the hsqs files for other systems, and the nand file to return to YOUR system.
So is the reason my SNES keeps giving me Error 7 bc I'm running cores for Atari 2600 and 7800 games too?
I have an NES Classic... running Hakchi CE 3.4.1
I have around 35 games on my NES home and three subfolders. Atari 2600. Atari 7800. More NES Games.
When I added the SNES HSQS "game" and the New Text File... I lose all subfolders... and get Error 7 on the SNES hsqs link...
Patton can you do a multi boot with PlayStation I can get the nes and snes but can’t figure out the PlayStation. Thank you.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. You don't boot into a playstation, it's just a mod you install.
Patton Plays thank you for replying. I figured it out. I was talking bout on the main screen where you can pick nes, snes, sega, PlayStation. Then choose your system then the game. But thank you for getting back with me.
I’m trying to add games to my hacked snes classic and it’s saying something about kernel being out of date
You have to update the kernel by reflashing it.
I need to unplug and replug my nes to get it to multi boot.
If you install the hsqs for the Famicom will it play Famicom Disk System games?
No, it uses the same emulator as the NES.
Crap really? I figured it might since Zelda 1 & 2 and Metroid were FDS games. I really was hoping to play Yume Koujou Doki Doki Panic with Nintendo's emulators.
Hi a what is a site?
Why do you recommend the trimmed hsqs files?
They are smaller in size. And through testing they have worked 100% of the time for me.
I have a quick question. I was going to try this, and I followed along and got the famicom mini hsqs working fine but when i went to drop the text document into hackchi it was asking me to assign a console/ core for it. Do I just close out of that dialog box then rename it like you did in the video or do I do something else? I managed to get the famicom mini hsqs to boot but then the NES Nand didn't show up so I went and removed the hsqs for now until I know for sure.
Also, how come your HSQS files are under "SquashFS" in the games list? Is that some sort of sorting thing or is there a step I missed? Thanks for the tutorial though, it really helped.
I personally don't even use a text file. Go to File > Add Custom App and after giving an app name for it, you should get to a similar screen. And for the command line, I just have "/bin/hsqs _nand_" and nothing after it.
After you have added the HSQS file (and synchronized). Switch running firmware (TOOLS menu) and add the NAND file. I also unticked the HSQS file before synchronizing again or else it seems to add another one (two HSQS shows up in the "Switch running firmware" menu).
patton how can i play kid dracula on snes mini ? help
Depends on if you mean the NES or Gameboy version. If you head over to the Hakchi Resources Discord they can get you sorted out. discord.gg/96DKEdd
It won't let me drag the hsqs file into hackchi. What am i doing wrong?
You can get some help here discord.gg/96DKEdd
sorry, patton, that is not very helpful. you can't drag and drop games from windows explorer in hakchi 3.5.2. You need to click on "Add more games" and then you can drag and drop or just select from there.
However, then things get confusing. Once you get that hsqs file synchronized to your system, hakchi will then see your system as whatever the last one you had loaded when you shut down the system. So, you need to click on the top dropdown menu under "Current games collection" and switch to the system where you want the file to go.
For example, I have a NES classic. I added the SNES hsqs file and after syncing it, it shows up as a custom game just like any other. So, I then go to the "Current games collection" and switch it to "Super NES". This is where I add my "Return to NES" text file. Otherwise it will show up on my NES games and that is wrong.
Kinda confusing, but I hope you get what I mean!
Does this work with the snes classic?
Yes it does!
