@@jeremyrozensky8985 The problem most people had with the snes classic was throwing hundreds of games/consoles on the main UI. Even in folders and not exceeding the 50/60 games per folder would cause C8 errors. To fix this was "dummy folder" and loading thousands of games in folders on a USB and just using Retroarch. For some, that can be handled better on a Odroid or Pi, even the PS classic can get the job done. The huge request was wanting to add Genesis/Mega Drive games on the main UI of the MD mini while also tending to the needs of others wanting other consoles on the main UI. But the skinny of it is, the more you bog the console down the slower it gets. Load times, slow down in menu and resetting back to main menu. Realistically on the classic consoles if you add 30 to 50 games they run like a champ. I did this for my nes, snes and MD mini. But no body wants to do that, we all want the whole library of every console. So yes, adding box art and spine art for many games can be a pain. I won't hate on Lunar or their team, but hakchi as well as the men and women affiliated have been a huge pleasure and help throughout the years. They rock. 😊

Hakchi turned out to be the best and easiest method to hack my mini. Folder support and UI integration were on top of my list of things I needed to get mine up and running the way I like it and it delivered. It may not have a scraping tool, but that's ok. We're at least given the option to fill in any of those fields manually and by leaving them blank, clicking on a game takes you directly to the game launch, which is actually nice, as I'm not really thrilled to see a pop up gimmick every time I want to play a game. Everything is running great much like on my SNES Classic. No muss no fuss.

A thought on the part when connecting the USB cable when connecting it up to the PC, do it on the PC side (i.e. regular USB plug), not the micro-USB side. Micro USB it is more fragile. I used the PC side without issues mostly because my Genesis is new so it was a bit tight. Question on the emulation core: Is it best to just go RA on all extra Genesis games? Any reason why some would be better on the native emulator?

@@kepeb1 At that price I doubt it. And I also don't think the N64 games would hold up anywhere near as well as the 8-bit and 16-bit games do to be honest. I mean great pixel art games still look and run great even today, which is why many developers continue to this day to release brand new games using pixel art, but those first gen 3D games just tend to look and run a bit crap now. I would like an N64 Mini, don't get me wrong, but I question how satisfying playing those old games would be in 2020 when stuck with the single analog stick and so on. Some of the best N64 games are still cool when I play them on my PC via emulator, but that's because I can remap the controls to dual analog and even run them at higher resolutions and framerates and so on. It would certainly be interesting to see what Nintendo would do with this.

I have it set to pull up the menu whenever I hold START for 2 seconds, but having to select "Quit RetroArch" is a pain (same challenge if I hit RESET on the console). I guess if I just buy the new Retro-Bit Genesis replicas, I can set a proper button combination? Or will that only be used to open RetroArch.

@Choom2077
4 жыл бұрын
Yes it does. One of the first things I tested out after using Hakchi. It loads the translated theme of the menu and language format. However, if you're speaking on behalf of game versions (USA, Japan, EU) Hakchi actually exposes all games, including 2 additional games that weren't even on the list of included games. Sword of Vermilion and Mortal Kombat II were hidden games for some reason. This allows you to actually load up any variant of the game to your main UI along with your other games. So you don't technically have to switch languages to access them. This is actually not a negative though. I find it to be a bit more of a convenient. But if you want to separate them from your other games, you can create a directory for just those versions. You can always change the theme setting based on region in the language settings. :)

Hey Patton, great video! Just had a few specific questions for you (Or anyone else with an answer): I know you can't remove the stock games and have the option to hide them when booting to the home menu, but can you hide specific games? Also, if you use the USB method, is there a way to keep the games on the system from being hidden? Much appreciated!

Quick question. I know your not a fan of Project Lunar but using Hackchi will it play Sonic 3 & Knuckles straight from the rom and the Micro Machines series. These games I absolutely love and the SNES and NES Minis had no problems playing them... are they compatible without Retroarch? Project Lunar wouldnt play them without a patch

Thank you for this. Something about this version of Hakchi that is confusing me from previous versions. I came back to fix something on my mini, but had to reapply everything from scratch, including artwork in addition to my games. Is there a step I missed? I remember previous versions of Hakchi seemed to remember/read what was on my other mini.

Ok, so, when i start up hakchi (btw i never had any issue following directions with the other consoles)...first it auto loads a bunch of NES games..ok. i switch to SEGA USA....it loads a bunch of the stock sega games, some in foreign languages which are not checked, but also in that list, and checked, is Mortal Kombat II...this is before i've added anything or even connected my console to sync. Now...when i connect the console etc...all those games are checked (the stock ones) and its says...2mb of 134mb used. Am i missing something or is this hella confusing? I'd love to join you on discord but i cannot get on, i have no idea, i try to get on there and it just keeps bringing me back to my login page and i cant access you on there.

Is there any way to remove the Hakchi splash screen when the console boots up? Also using Hakchi 3.8.0 I've noticed there are games listed under originals that are not native to the system and aren't on my PC, specifically Aladdin, Sword of Virmilion and Mortal Kombat 2 (nice freebies but where did they come from??). It also creates duplicates of some titles including Sonic Spinball and Landstalker. I had to uncheck all of these before sync

Hey Patton, I got a couple questions. You mentioned that 100 games can go into a folder without anything going wrong, does that apply to the home screen too? Or can you literally put every Genesis game on the home screen and not worry about the console blowing up? lol also is there a list somewhere that shows what games work well with the native emulator and what games you need to run with Retroarch? Thanks man as always!
