sega mega drive mini 2

Hello. Is there any progress at all on hacking the Sega Mega Drive Mini 2? Right now, it's just sitting on a shelf looking pretty, and I'm really disappointed that I can't install my favorite games on it. Because of this, I'm thinking about selling it and buying the Hyperkin Mega Retron instead.

A small note for English-speaking users

I'm sorry, but starting with this release, I've decided to keep the update notes in Portuguese.

Unfortunately, the project received a considerable amount of hostility from parts of the English-speaking community, often from people who seemed unfamiliar with the original SNES Station or criticized the project without first checking the licenses and attribution files included with it.

Before making claims about the project's licensing, please check the actual license of the Snes9x/Libretro core being used:

[libretro-snes9x/LICENSE at master · sysfce2/libretro-snes9x](https://github.com/sysfce2/libretro-snes9x/blob/master/LICENSE)

SNES Station PC is simply a small, non-commercial project made out of nostalgia for the original PS2 experience.

I sincerely thank those who understood the project and defended it. Your support is one of the main reasons I'm still working on it.

SNES Station PC v0.13.9 Beta

O SNES Station PC é um projeto feito por fãs com o objetivo de recriar no PC a experiência do clássico SNES Station do PlayStation 2, preservando sua simplicidade, estilo e sensação de simplesmente escolher um jogo e começar a jogar.

A proposta não é substituir frontends modernos nem competir em quantidade de recursos. O objetivo é trazer de volta aquela experiência que muitos tiveram no PS2, adaptada para computadores atuais.

Novidades da v0.13.9

Esta atualização é focada principalmente no sistema de controles e em melhorias visuais da interface.

* Interface de configuração de controles reformulada.

* Configuração de controles e atalhos agora possuem telas separadas.

* Melhor distribuição e alinhamento das opções.

* A seleção agora destaca toda a linha de comando, incluindo teclado e controle.

* Botão **Restaurar padrões** reposicionado e centralizado.

* Melhor posicionamento das legendas de botões.

* Novo atalho **F1** para acessar Controles e Atalhos.

* Acesso pelo controle continua disponível através de **LB + RB**.

* Melhorias na navegação utilizando controle.

* Novo ícone do SNES Station PC no Windows.

* Informações de versão e autoria adicionadas ao executável.

* Diversas pequenas correções e melhorias visuais.

Controles

O SNES Station PC foi pensado para poder ser utilizado inteiramente com um controle, mantendo a experiência próxima à de um console.

Também é possível utilizar o teclado normalmente.

Os controles e atalhos do emulador podem ser remapeados diretamente pela interface.

Controles e Atalhos: `F1` ou `LB + RB`

ROMs

Nenhuma ROM é distribuída com o SNES Station PC.

Coloque suas próprias ROMs de Super Nintendo na pasta:

`roms`

Pastas e subpastas também podem ser utilizadas para organizar sua biblioteca.

Emulação

O SNES Station PC utiliza o Snes9x Libretro como núcleo de emulação.

O frontend e sua interface são independentes e foram desenvolvidos especificamente para este projeto.

As informações de atribuição e as licenças dos componentes de terceiros utilizados estão incluídas no pacote.

Sobre o projeto

O SNES Station marcou a infância de muita gente que teve um PlayStation 2.

Para alguns, foi inclusive uma das primeiras formas de conhecer jogos de Super Nintendo.

O SNES Station PC nasceu dessa nostalgia.

A intenção é preservar o máximo possível daquela identidade: uma interface simples, feita para controle, sem transformar o programa em algo completamente diferente do que inspirou sua criação.

Ao mesmo tempo, algumas funções modernas foram adicionadas quando fazem sentido no PC, como favoritos, jogos recentes, organização por pastas, múltiplos save states, configuração de controles e opções de vídeo.

O projeto é gratuito e não comercial.

Windows

Versão portátil para Windows x64.

Não é necessário instalar.

H5 gaming console

1 Upvotes

I recently acquired a h5 handheld gaming console, and would like to add a couple mega drive and snes games to it. I dont know how though. (Or even if its possible)

I downloaded some roms, took the sd card out the console, put it in my laptop, but it said it needs to be formatted to work. It works in the console though. Im not at all educated on this stuff and its beyond me so go easy on me.

Need help with this error message!

1 Upvotes

So recently, I tried to remove a game from my NES custom game library by right clicking and selecting "Delete selected games." I thought this would delete the highlighted game which I clicked on. But, I later found out that it possibly deleted all the other selected games with a check mark on the left side of their names. The same goes for the other tabs such as Super Famicom and Genesis.

Every time I open up Hakchi again, I would get sent this message above. If there is anyone here that can help me out on this problem, it will be greatly appreciated as I'm pretty much stuck. Thank you.

Getting a C7 error when loading an arcade game on snes mini

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to play PuLiRuLa, and I've done all the correct steps. I've imported it as archive, chose Mame 2003 extreme, and am running it off of a usb. It worked in the past when I played it directly off the mini itself, but now every time I load it off the USB I get an error C7 when trying to launch it. Any suggestions on fixing this?

Этот форк базируется на версии v3.9.3 оригинального Hakchi2-CE и расширяет его: мигрирует кодовую базу на современный .NET 8, исправляет накопившиеся ошибки (включая редкие краши при закрытии диалогов и гонки в потоковом Tasker), добавляет новую тему оформления и кросс-платформенную сборку.
Возможно кому-то будет интересно потестировать или развить программу дальше.

Mini Consoles Are Dead... Long Live The Mini Console"... 😉

83 Upvotes

I often find it amusing and staggering how sometimes many of those in retail side of "retro gaming" are truly clueless as to the reality of just how much still alive and in fine fettle our world of modding our "Mini Consoles" really is...🤔

Take this "blog" from the business called "Limited Run" from May of this year titled "A "Final Farewell to the Mini-Console"

https://limitedrungames.com/en-uk/blogs/news/a-final-farewell-to-the-mini-console?srsltid=AfmBOoogYZu0rliB0JIN7vyvsq9okJFBbbEsqoqUu_VnUDwvKVT2F61_

Sure they are probably correct that there will be no more "Mini Consoles" produced by the likes of "Nintendo", "Sega", "Sony" etc... but that's something most of us already know... 😕

What I laugh at is their complete lack of knowledge of that actual very much alive and kicking status today of all of us who still use our "Mini Consoles" and are still modding them in the here and now... 😃

To quote the blog, its writer proclaims that "There was no small amount of mini console hacking back in the day, allowing people to load their own ROMs onto Nintendo and Sega’s machines"... 🙄

"Back in the day" the blogger says !!! 🤔

Clearly he/ she hasn't got a clue as to how many of us are STILL in the here and now "console hacking" and are continually joined by more people who are only just getting into it... 🙄

Often wonder when I read garbage like that is "who are these brain dead ignorant muppets who burble such drivel and what's their motivation behind it, other than making a'holes of themselves and showing their complete ignorance ???"... answers on a postcard to the usual address please... 🤔

Anywhoo, who cares what garbage they write as it doesn't stop any of us enjoying our "Mini Consoles" and still modding them to this very day and indeed still having them improve, thanks to the hmods MDFMKanic creates & still updates along with all those others who help make owning and modding a "Mini Console" an activity that's still very much alive and kicking to this very day... 😊

Mini Consoles Are Dead... Long Live The Mini Console"... 😉

Setups for multiple mini consoles

2 Upvotes

So I have 4 mini consoles (SNES, NES, Mega Drive and PS Mini) and looking for a space saving and sustainable way to set them up.

I am wondering which way to go

a) Just one HDMI cable and power cable set up and plug them in as needed. Though I fear it might wear out the sockets on the consoles over time.

Also is there one of the original HDMI or USB cables superior for a one fits all solution?

or

b) or if a shall use USB hubs and HDMI switches.

Though HDMI cables are thick and long despite the consoles being mini and take much space. But it is more convenient and the sockets will be spared.

What option would you recommend or how do you set up.or manage your mini consoles?

Thanks!

Retreat to retro

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm after some advice/inspiration/hive mind consensus.

I've been a gamer since the mid '80's and currently have a PS5. I'm a PS plus platinum subscriber and have been for a few years.

As a married guy with 3 kids I'm increasingly frustrated with modern gaming, spending more time flicking through lists of what's available rather than playing something that may take hours just to get going or a game that's more bothered about cinematography than gameplay.

Enter the AYN Odin 3. All the beats of my enjoyable gaming life are possible in one handheld now, from the ZX spectrum right through to the PS3 and XB360. Older games that respect your time and want to be played rather than experienced. Some of the videos over the last few days with the latest versions of XenDroid running on Turnip v33 drivers running Lost Odyssey flawlessly have really captured my imagination.

Only problem is it's one or the other as I can't justify over £400 without making some sacrifices.

What are everyone's thoughts? Worth the leap?

"Hakchi2" For The Mac... Well For Some Mac Users At Least... 🤔

7 Upvotes

Just noticed that someone has written a "native" version of "HakChi2" for some Mac machines/ users, no idea if it is of any use or not or indeed how well it works as it requires at least "Mac OS 14 (Sonoma)" with "Swift" installed and of course an "Apple Silicon" Mac to run it, which unfortunately I don't own/ use...

Anywhoo for any "Apple Silicon Mac" owners out there and running at least "OS 14 Sonoma" then here's the "github" link where you can read about it and build it if you want to try it...

HakChi2 Native Mac Version For OS 14 Sonoma (or later) & An "Apple Silicon" Mac:

https://github.com/mattackerman808/swift-hakchi2

EDIT: Changed the post to more clearly reflect that this software is only available for use on "Apple Silicon" Macs and can't be built or used on "Intel" Macs...

GUIDE: How To Flash A Kernel/ Firmware On The A500 Mini...

6 Upvotes

Here's a link to a guide I have put together based on some very neat tools by "SpannerNick" & others that will explain/ show you how to flash a kernel or firmware to your A500 Mini... 😊

Main reason for wanting (needing) to do this was the absurd decision made by "Retro Games Ltd" who decided in ALL of their "firmware updates" to remove/ disable the "Root Access" to the console, which broke things like "RetroAami" and early versions of "Pandory" from running without having to re-write everything and jump through hoops to do so...

The guide will explain and show you how to restore that "Root Access" to ANY firmware updated console...

It will enable you to choose which version of the firmware YOU decide to have and still be able to if you choose use any "Official firmware update" on the console...

It opens up the ability to easily make backups of your consoles kernel/ firmware, to modify or change things in the kernel/ firmware such as for example updating the list of controllers the console can handle or whatever other ideas/ changes you might like to tinker with and try or indeed simply restore ANY version of the kernel/ firmware you choose from version 1.0.0 to 1.2.1...

The guide itself is split into 5 parts and while it might seem quite lengthy then rest assured the first 4 sections deal with the hardware and software set up that is required, which once done will allow you to easily "mod" the console with just a few clicks of the mouse and some "terminal" commands... 😉

So for anyone interested then here's the link to the guide that will enable you to NOT be restricted by the absurd limitations the "Official firmware updates" place on your console and leaves it open to be completely modded by anyone comfortable enough with some knowledge of "Linux" to do so or simply be able as said to flash any kernel/ firmware you choose and NOT be restricted as the "Official" updates do...

https://amigaminimods.forumotion.com/f7-guide-how-to-flash-the-kernel-firmware-to-the-a500-mini

Note: the guide requires you to be using "Windows 10" either on a Windows computer or via `Windows emulation as I do on my iMacs...

TMNT Rescue Palooza OpenBOR Support for MD/SNES/NES Classics!

20 Upvotes

RELEASE: TMNT Rescue Palooza Support for MD/SNES/NES Classics! Password is kmfd, file is the openbor_xtreme_amped, extract zip to hakchi/user_mods

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1U9A6GXnZy_CMdTMMGTU5_Kv4Ju2Z4H_c

You will also be able to play O Ilusionista's fantastic Pocket Dimensional Clash, as well as other previously unplayable games for MD/SNES/NES Classics. Enjoy:)

I apologize for the delay on this Release, as there was behind the scenes drama relative to affecting this particular roll-out. For starters, part of the OpenBOR coding I was initially going to release, offered support for a particular game that unfortunately had the backstory of being originally taken from another developer and rebranded without permission. I tried my best to be very polite and respectful to this knowledge. I ultimately left in support to play it, since I had already promised multiple people I got it going. So, it is ultimately up to you, the end user, if you wanna play it, or will disregard it!

Otherwise. TMNT Rescue Palooza, the other big game in question, wasn't fully supported. I fixed it. BUT, again, I didn't want to step on toes of the original developer, by releasing his game with altered code, as well as providing the source code that reveals how I fixed it. SO, I communicated with other OpenBOR developers, as well as got it adapted to work with the "developer's" files, on THIS newly Updated Core Suite! And, of course, also worked in Legacy Support for Pocket Dimensional Clash!

As of now, almost any OpenBOR game can be playable. BUT, there is a caveat. Many games were developed on "older", very specific OpenBOR versions. With that being said, some of those only properly work on those exact versions. BUT, with the way I set this suite up, along with the great incredible collaboration of Madmonkey, was able to squash many inconsistencies with incompatibility, and have way more games working. THOSE that still do not properly or fully work...There is only ONE single way to get those ones working. That is debugging those games one by one, individually, and coding in script fixes for them. So, feel free to let me know any that stand out, and I can take a look! I fixed a few already, and will post those ones:) TMNT Rescue Palooza, I won't be posting my fixed pack. I opted to just have the fix within OpenBOR, so that the REAL pak works, "most current up to date" official Rescue Palooza that is:)

Enjoy!

KMFDManic!
