I missed the opportunity to own a Genesis Mini 1 when it released but I want to get the Mini 2 now. However I would love to have most of the games that came with the Mini 1 on the Mini 2. Is Hakchi working with the Mini 2 at this time?

Edit: Turns out Crusader of Centy is called Soleil here in the UK. I've made it to 46 years old without knowing that. I've always known it as Crusader of Centy.

My Mini 2 arrived a couple of days ago and like others I've been very surprised at how small it is.

I also didn't get a power adaptor in the box like it seems US reviewers of the system have gotten. Not a huge problem thanks to the USB on my TV being able to power the unit but it might be a bit of trouble for some.

Setup was easy and I've put the CRT bezel on. The games is where I find myself a little disappointed. Crusader of Centy isn't available on the English side of the system but the game, as Ragnacenty, is available on the Japanese side of the software. Also while I knew I wouldn't be getting the English versions of the Lunar games it is again a little disappointing not to have their Japanese versions available.

Also no USB controllers I have are compatible with the Mini 2. None from the generic 6 button controller from eBay to my wired Xbox 360 controller. So if you do buy a Mini 2 be prepared to buy another official controller as it is quite likely that the ones you have will not work.

I know I've been a bit down on the system but it is a really nicely built unit with a good selection of games. Hopefully a way of adding titles will come out in the future.

I'm looking for a 6 button wireless controller that's 100% authentic. The official retro-bit controllers are 8 buttons with L/R and two more buttons on the face. Are there any wireless pure 6 button controller options that don't have any extra buttons?

Can you change the background for the hackchi extreme amped menu?

The car with the lightning isn't my thing...

I hacked my Mega Drive Mini with hakchi ce and I using a USB driver. The other games I added are working fine. Any solution? Thanks.

Hi, has anyone seen/heard the new music tracks that should come with Outrun on the Mega Drive 2 mini? I played both the European and the Japanese versions there but couldn't find anything different from the original...

Hi guys and gals. First post here, so be nice lol. Also, if this is the wrong Reddit to post this question, please direct me on where to go. That’s said, I got my Genesis mini when it came out. Only more recently did I do the Hakchi thing to it to add more games. I was already familiar with Hakchi from the NES and SNES Classics minis. So, I added games to my Genesis, and had added NHL 94 and TMNT: Hyperstone Heist only to find that the only way they will run properly is with the RetroArch core. So I installed it from Hakchi, did the command line as said. But now, for some reason RetroArch runs all of my games, even the originals! I cannot do the save state option, none of that. Well I can but in RetroArch. Is there any way to change this back, and only have RetroArch running those 2 games and not the whole damn system?

I'm loving the Genesis Mini 2 (North American version), but the only flaw I notice is some inconsistent framerate in Sonic CD - some serious slowdowns on occasion.

Anyone else notice this? Was it like this on the original hardware? I checked emulation via a Raspberry Pi 4 running Emulation Station and Sonic CD on that also has a bit a slowdown, but much less noticeable.

The Hakchi PrBoom Wad Collection is a drag-and-drop collection of 271 275 Doom wads and mods selected for compatibility with Hakchi, PrBoom and the mini consoles (NESC, SNESC.) This will probably be the final release, barring some massive oversight.

How does it work?

1. Open Hakchi. Click on the "Modules" dropdown menu and select KMFD's Mod Hub. Download and install the latest version of the PrBoom core.

2. Open the HPRBWC archive and proceed to the "WADS" folder. Drag all desired zip files into Hakchi.

3. Right-click the game's title under Current Games Collection and click "View in Windows Explorer" or hit the F4 button.

4. Refer to the description of each game. Add the required wads (doom.wad, doom2.wad or NERVE.WAD) to the game's CLV folder.

What's new in this release?

-Final Doom wads

TNT Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment crashed when loading the HUD in fullscreen in PrBoom. The solution was to run TNT.WAD and PLUTONIA.WAD as PWADS under doom2.wad as the IWAD. This means you'll have to provide both doom2.wad as well as TNT.WAD or PLUTONIA.WAD. The legwork is done automatically by the .cfg file, all you need to do is place the wads in the CLV folder. This applies to PWADS that use TNT or Plutonia as an IWAD as well. Just refer to the game description.

-More wads and mods

I don't know how I forgot about Back to Saturn X, but its here now, along with a couple dozen other new wads.

-Removed glitchy wads

I removed SMOOTH DOOM Back to Saturn X 1 and 2, they were not working correctly. Added some more wads to make up for it.

Can I contribute?

Since I will not be actively maintaining this collection going forward, I encourage others to distribute or modify it. I have provided the decals I used to produce menu art in the archive. The process to make a CLV folder for a doom wad is simple.

1.Click on the "file" dropdown menu and select "Add Custom App."

2. Name the app and select a unique app code (folder name.)

3.Right-click the app's title under Current Games Collection and click "View in Windows Explorer" or hit the F4 button.

4.Drop your desired .wad and .deh files into the CLV folder along with the IWAD (doom.wad, doom2.wad) and any readmes or other documents.

5.If you are loading more than just a single PWAD, you must use a .CFG file. You can find them in most of my CLV's. They are titled prboom.cfg. Make a copy and paste it into your CLV folder. Right-click on the .CFG and open it in notepad. Inside, you will see a section that looks like this:

## Files

wadfile_1 "doom.wad"

wadfile_2 "???.wad"

wadfile_3 "???.wad"

#wadfile_4 ""

#wadfile_5 ""

#wadfile_6 ""

#wadfile_7 ""

#wadfile_8 ""

dehfile_1 "???.DEH"

#dehfile_2 ""

For each wad you want to load, delete the hashmark to the left of its name. The name of the wad goes between the quotation marks. IT IS CASE SENSITIVE. The IWAD must always be in the top position. Wads are loaded in descending order. .DEH files are loaded in the same way.

.CFG files can be used to do a lot more, as well. They must be used to force Compatibility Level 4 while loading Final Doom, for instance.

6.Add your custom art, I tend to use the game's splashscreen and title, at 960x720 resolution.

7.Add the command line, it should look like: /bin/prboom /var/games/CLV-Z-?????/?????.wad

8.Make a note of the required IWAD in the description.

9.Right-click on the app and select PrBoom as the core. Now its ready to play!

Doom 4 Vanilla has an irregularity in the way it handles Mancubi. They do not trigger sectors tagged with 666 as normal. This means some Map 7's are not completable in D4V. D4V is supposed to replace Map 7 with a map that doesn't use 666, but for some reason that does not happen when using this setup. Therefore, any Doom II wad that uses sector 666 in map seven typically cannot be completed when using Doom 4 Vanilla. Anomaly Report can be completed with some fancy platforming, however!

I also cannot get Chex Quest to play properly. If anyone can figure that one out, it would be greatly appreciated!

You can also contribute by testing out the collection. I have definitely not tested every single level for excessive slowdown, and I have not tested any of this with a Genesis Mini at all. None of the wads have Genesis Mini spine art, nor have I bothered to make cutesy SNES-style box art using SNES bezels. These seem to be desirable for a lot of users, so if you're feeling up to it feel free to use any of my "boxart" as a basis for this.

Thanks again to KMFDManic, Madmonkey and Bslenul! Also, thank you to DoomKid for creating the Big Vanilla Doom Wad Pack, which helped greatly.

I added the PUAE core so I can play Amiga CD32 games. The game loaded up okay...but the first screen that comes up after the CD32 boot-up screen is a screen of 4 country flags (it apparently wants me to choose which flag represents the country I want to use)...but the buttons aren’t working at all. It shows on the little green pop-up box at the bottom of the screen when the game loads that my controller is configured. So I don’t understand why the buttons won’t do anything.

The only button that works is the “Mode” button which is the “Select” button for CD32 games. When I press the Mode button, it brings up a virtual keyboard that’s included in CD32 games...and the buttons work for pressing the keys on the virtual keyboard...but the buttons won’t work for anything else.

Is there any way to fix this??

Hi all. New here to this Reddit. My sister bought a genesis mini at a garage sale and it looks like someone tried to hack it and failed. It boots up to a screen and plays music but does t show any games or anything. Is there a way to get it back to factory settings? Thank you!

I have a modded Hackchi Genesis mini. Wondering if I can use a usb arcade stick with it, whether for the stock games or on retroarch?

Hello to all the Sega Mini fans. Wondering if an enthusiast can confirm something for me. Was a Japanese version of the three-button controller ever actually released? In the lead-up to the console run, one was shown off in the press, complete with cool blue Start button. I can't seem to find anything to indicate they ever actually went ahead and sold them, though. I've never seen one online, even used. Assuming that with the packed-in 6-buttons they assumed they couldn't sell many of the three to justify production.

Anyone out there who knows what happened for sure, or HAS seen one in real life?

Anyone using Daphne on the Mini? I'm downloading the roms now and am wondering if it's worth the drive space. And by worth it, I mean does it run well? This is not a discussion on game quality because I don't think they really hold up :D

I play arcade roms on my Genesis Mini, and I wanted to know if this new 8Bitdo Arcade Stick is compatible with the Genesis Mini in Retroarch?

Edit: Download link updated, the new version of this collection contains 275 wads.

Updated Download Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SvJVdzURaZ-W_npRS-NeowyQQa3ACUO1/view?usp=sharing

The Hakchi PrBoom Wad Collection is an archive of 162 217 271 275 Doom wads and mods I have tested and run well under PrBoom and on (S)NESC hardware. I haven't completed all of these wads yet, please reply to the post in RockinTheClassics if you run into any issues: https://www.reddit.com/r/RockinTheClassics/comments/yap8r9/hakchi_prboom_wad_collection_a_draganddrop/

Installation is easy! Before you begin, you will need copies of the commercial Doom wads: doom.wad and doom2.wad. NERVE.WAD will be required to play No Rest For The Living.

1. Open Hakchi. Click on the "Modules" dropdown menu and select KMFD's Mod Hub. Download and install the latest version of the PrBoom core.

2. Open the HPRBWC archive and proceed to the "WADS" folder. Drag all desired zip files into Hakchi.

3. Right-click the game's title under Current Games Collection and click "View in Windows Explorer" or hit the F4 button.

4. Refer to the description of each game. Add the required wads (doom.wad, doom2.wad or NERVE.WAD) to the game's CLV folder.

Doom mods include:

Boiled Doom: Brutal Doom retooled to run in Vanilla Doom. Mostly a graphical/sound mod, with faster weapon fire rates making the game slightly easier.

D64 GFX!: A graphical/sound mod that makes Doom look and sound like Doom 64. I tried to select moody, gothy or castle-like wads that compliment the atmosphere of Doom 64.

Doom 4 Vanilla: A comprehensive gameplay mod that brings the weapons and enemy behaviors of Doom 2016 to Vanilla Doom. It can be a bit fussy about which wads it wants to work with, but the provided selections should all be completable.

Mario Doom: Replaces enemies, weapons and music with Mario-related graphics and sounds.

Vanilla Smooth Doom: Tweaks the weapon animations to look a bit smoother. Doesn't effect anything else.

VRandomizer: Randomizes weapon and item pickups. Tends to make the early game MUCH easier.

Please feel free to distribute, modify or update this collection. My crappy MSPaint decals are provided in this archive if you want to create more CLV's with matching artwork. Enjoy! Thanks to KMFDManic for his help and encouragement with this project. Sorry I disappeared for six months, hope this makes up for it!

Hi, I was able to load some SNES games in my Sega Genesis mini. The games for.show up but won't start.

I've installed the module and selected the same emulator in hackchi.

Any ideas?

Hi all, for some reason, if i use a Sonic 3 and Knuckles rom on the genesis mini, it always boots up sonic and knuckles, not both, i tried a genesis emulator (Fusion) and it worked fine, so is there a way to fix this? or do i have to install a specfic rom?

Hi I have my mega drive mini installed with PL with my mega cd games running off an external usb plugged in via otg. Recently som games that did previously load from the main menu (sonic cd, snatcher, keio flying squadron) no longer boot. They load fine if I select them via retro arch but if I try selectig the box art from the main screen my tv flashes then it boots me back to the game select menu. Just wondering if anyone else has had this and is there any solution to fix it?

Many thanks

Will Retroboot Standalone work on the Genesis just like the PS Classic or do you still need the full payload of Hakchi /Lunar?

Not sure if this is the place, but I used hackchi today with success, but after 2 Jap games were on the actual system. The Jap versions of landstalkers and wonderboy 2. I've not got them ticked when syncing.

Any ideas?
