Can you show the steps for adding to USB? Also how would it be used? OTG or USB front port?

One thing to add....if you are uninstalling PL, after you hold shift and click uninstall you have to get the mini in FEL mode by unplugging hold reset and replug before the uninstall will start.

Hakchi on the genesis mini is working way better than project lunar. Thanks for the post and tutorial. I dont know if I will go the usb route just yet. Im primarily adding Genesis/Megadrive and Master system titles.

Thanks for this great video, very useful when installing and trying to get used to Hakchi. It now works perfectly!

Wow, this is so cool. Thanks for doing this video. I think I will get a sega mini now.

Great video, I didn't know you could play SNES games on the mini. Installing now.

Awesome video. I'm switching my mod tomorrow

One thing that wasn't pointed out is that if you already have Hakchi installed, you can just update that installation. Open it up and it will ask if you'd like to update.

Was trying to see if this would be easier for my brother... nope lol. They did an amazing job though. But as soon as you went into the retroarch menu at 26 min? Yeah... I love lunar. I really like hackchis menu. Wish theyd come together and do this as one team. Everything is amazing.

Waaaaay easier to use than project lunar! Thanks for the vid!

thanks for all the work my man! much appreciated

Excellent, now let's get Hakchi compatible with the PS One Classic so I don't have to bother with Bleemsync.

I was hoping Hakchi would work but I’m having the same issue with hakchi as I was with Project Lunar, it gets to Waiting to Reboot and it just stops after that point

Anychance of a full tutorial on using OTG, USB and WiFi dongle on Lunar please :) Keep up the tutorials they are all very good.

*How are YOU setting up your mini/classic consoles?* NES Classic=NES, Gameboy and Gameboy color SNES Classic=SNES, Gameboy Advance Genesis Mini=Genesis, X32, CD, Master System, Game Gear, SG 1000 and Maybe Dreamcast? Playstation Classic=PS1, PS2, PSP and everything else like Atari systems and TG16 etc... Just cause it seems like the best option. This seems pretty good.

just subscribed !! awesome content!! where did you get all that games? Thank you

I installed Hakchi 3.8 and wanted to add Sega Master System games, even added the cores for it too but for whatever reason it's not working :(

that one works for me very well, thanks

im having issues with the cores. i download cores and retroarch but when selecting emulation core for games i dont see options in the "console" and "core" boxes. please help

Do you prefer this over Lunar? Why or why not? What core is used or needed for Master System?

Can you do a hakchi complete tutorial like this for snes classic?

If you keep those games hidden in hakchi when you update your console, they'll be hidden on the console itself too

This is so much easier if you want to add the Sonic and Knuckles lock on titles. No rom hacking or anything. Just download the appropriate rom and you're good to go! Is there a way to add it to just the main system menu? Or do they stay under the "More Games" menu?

Hie do you fully uninstall hakchi? Iv just recently got back into the Sega mega drive mini....but how do you uninstall completely. Thankyou

Looks great. Does it come with a separate Retroarch programme like P.L or is it solely a back end system to run cores? The sort by console is pretty sweet!! Im straight on this when i get a chance 😁

how much space should be reserved for save slots? how much space does a save take on the sega genesis mini?

Awesome this looks great 😀 I think I'd only load up Sega games on it tho what are all the Sega systems that play well on it? Also u didn't show in game sound for TMNT ☹️

does the save state compression on hakchi which previously worked on NES/SNES classic work on the sega genesis mini?

i got mess when i m going to uninstall project lunar that is "scp: /tmp/mount/nandd/usr/game/alldata.psb.m: No such file or directory" what i do to uninstall project lunar

Does hakchi fix the cpu clock from 1 to 1.344ghz thing like project lunar? as if so, I'll just go with this project.

i'll try to uninstall but at the "Starting uninstall, attempting to connect via SSH" does not go further.

I have the backup file, but no matter where I put it Project Lunar does not recognize that its there. It keeps crashing and when I try to uninstall, it prompts me that the backup is not there. Can someone walk me through this?

Stung a little bit to hear delete project lunar after all that waiting.

Ive followed all the instructions to a T, however when it flashes the Kernel it seems to look as though it's loading Hackchi up to 14% then a separate window pops up saying its restarting the mini, which it does, then a separate window comes up saying "if you mini takes time to reboot etc" I close that yet it's still showing as offline in the Hackchi window, any ideas?

Would this allow me to use different usb controllers than the one that come with it. It was upsetting that the original mini only comes with 3 button controllers and has games that you really need 6 buttons for. I tried a usb game controller and it would not recognize it. If hack chi allows me to I would love to use the usb controller so I dont have to buy another sega type USB 6 button controller

4:00 For the original games that are listed on Hakchi when you first load it up, I've noticed it includes games which are not on the default mini console. Does this mean I don't need to find a ROM for them? (For example, there's a folder for Shining Force 2 or a Japanese Aladdin...)

What's up with the WIFI Adapter? You Can't surf the internet n the Genesis Mini or watch KZfaq videos or play a 2 player game with someone else remotely and you can't access the system via WIFI to add games to it because without the USB Cable being hooked 2 you PC it won't see the console.

I used Hackchi for all my other Minis except the PS1 Classic of course. Do like the simplicity of adding games and cores, though I really love the way Emustation is setup on Project Lunar. Personal not sure which one I prefer though curious to see the new update from PL brings. PS - Do like that the Retroarch cores are included in hackchi along with the bios from what I see. BTW @Restalgia I notice the Retrobit controller would not work with Genesis game "Zombie ate My Neighbors". Even tried the Sega Genesis Console itself with the Cartridge. Wondering if you came across any other games that it wont respond with. Thanks for all your work on these videos.

I take it this is NOT Compatible with the ATGames sega megadrive classic with the wireless joypads?

Thank you for the very detailed steps. Much appreciated! Question: I have been looking around for more games/Roms have found some but they haven’t worked on this little machine... can anyone provide any light on where to get more Roms that will work? Thank you!

Worked perfectly! Does anyone knows how to stop the music on the initial screen?

Any body having a issue with downloading Hackchi and doing the initial set up. Then after i added a few games to the mini i decided to add more, so i hooked it back up and it didnt detect my system and had to redownload the kernel just to add more games? Has anybody else had this issue ?

to add games, no need to connect the console? Just synchronize the usb key connected to the pc?

I know this video is not about the SNES classic but when I installed the new version of hakchi to the SNES classic, MOST of the SNES games that I am playing through retro Arch (NOT THE STOCK EMULATOR) are really off, like really buggy. Is anybody else having this problem

So for some reason I can't get Super Nintendo games to run on the Genesis mini with Hakchi 3.7. And I used the emulator that you said in the video. I can get most consoles running except for a handful of them. Why are they not working?

Hi there, I have moded my nes mini and SNES mini without any problems using hackchi in the past, but for some reason, every time I try to flash the custom kernel with my mega drive mini in hackchi 3.7 it times out. I am using my SNES mini usb cable so I don’t think that is it, and I was able to install project lunar just fine. Could you help? Thanks in advance. Regards, Matt

Was about to change from PL to Hakchi and noticed a lot of discussion on reddit about problems with hakchi leaving files behind and that you will not be able to return back to PL. Has anyone experienced this? Any issues with going from PL to Hakchi.

This is way better then Project Lunar even though I like Project lunar

Is there a list of Genesis/MD games that don't work with the stock emulator, or is it just trial and error?

Yo uh one question, I one time added snes, gba, master system, and nes roms to my genesis mini, and when I tried starting them it will just not start the games and just won't start up, I did have my modules and stuff, but still doesn't work, Plz reply to me for help. Thanks

Don't suppose there's another way to uninstall Project Lunar without the backup files?. My PC got Corrupted randomly one day, so that stuff i saved on my C: Drive (i know bad idea) all gone...

hey quick question ......my arcade games work on the nes classic but when i try to run them on the sega mini they do not run and some come up as a qbin when i drag them over to the sega game list. so far i was only able to get the simpsons to run using fb alpha 2016. i am completely lost? any ideas

Where do I go to find the games after installing

I’ve got for my snes mini I play the console without usb for 7 hours and no problems I connected the haki usb card with mod games n hour later it was being temperamental sometimes resetting by itself, freezing, not turning on. Then after 5-10 attempts started working with the mod games the seller suggested I use a better quality usb and 2.0? Anything I’m doing wrong all the mod game and non mod games seem to work fine when working. The resetting is random with no pattern. I will keep testing it. I have on it Atari, nes, megadrive, arcade games all on the usb.

Is there a compatibility list that has the games that would require a different emulator core?

another great vid, can't wait to test this. Is there any chance you know about getting WiFi with the mod? And is the save states working better then the og m2 mod and have you test the over clocking aprently luner see no problem

Can anyone confirm that NHL 94 works properly without the goalies facing backwards?

I think I'm gonna stick with Emulation Station through Project Lunar. I have all the game info and boxart scrapes for all my roms and it's all pretty and fancy. with Hakchi, there is A LOT of lacking spine art. Also, since we would be using a retroarch core, going in and out of a game would bring up the retroarch interface which is being done with Emulation Station anyway.

None of the games I’ve added are playable. M2engage is not on the command line for any of the games. Under select emulation core I only get 3 options unassigned, genesis plus GX and pico drive. M2engage is missing. How can I select M2engage to run on the newly added games like Aladdin, lion king etc...?

How do I insert coins for MAME games

Question everything is working fine except when I select how many players and the type of game it is it doesn't show what I picked when I'm actually on the main ui playing the mini on my tv

What sequence do u have to do to hook the genesis mini back up to the computer for the second time to remove add additional games etc.

Clay Fighters is still shrink wrapped!

Is there a way to play the games directly from Retroarch on the Sega mini, I would like to use the Netpay option for online gaming.

Thank you for the tutorial. I got it running now with Hakchi. There is just one problem. Games with the stock emulator, my 3-Button controller is not correctly mapped. There is no option to change it like in Retroarch. Do you know how I can solve this, to play with stock emulator and the original 3 button controller?

Hi can anyone help, ive used Hakchi many times on SNES, and NES no problems, I recently got the new 3.7 for the mega drive/genesis mini and everytime I try and load boxart Hakchi crashes and closes down. Can anyone offer advice?

and if im doing it in another comp that dont got the back up on it can be uninstalled also???

When I select hide the original games and I added a few new ones to the console through hakchi it didn’t give me the stock games it only loaded the new games that I added. On the NES Mini and SNES Mini it gives me another folder with the extra games. How do I do that for the genesis?

What is the difference between the 3.7 release zip and debug 3.7 version? Patton plays uses the debug version...😊

As of now which do you think is the best method to hack to Genesis mini? I'm torn between Project luner and this.

Hey Restalgia, props on putting this all together! Quick question on how to return to the menu screen? You said hold start+select, but genesis controller only has start? This has really been bugging me! Is there another module I need to install or setting that needs adjusting? Thanks

Hello there. I downloaded games with hakchi. the program was deleted and I can see how my games are installed again. Or can I remove it?

A couple of Gen Mini Hackchii related questions.... Is it possible to use a custom background image for stock ui on the Genesis Mini? What custom music? If so what format/resolution does the menu image need to be in? What about audio file? Does anyone have and could make available or tell me where I could find the three region Gen/MD Mini stock menu background images? Also, the same on the two nonblack borders, included with Gen/MD mini? Is possble to replace the background inside/on Retro arch?

Is this update compatible withe snes mini? I updated it and all my sega games will start up, shoot me back to the select screen and then back in the game but without any control. As if the game is shown but really its the menu your controlling.

my mini mega drive hangs at the reboot section. did it for project lunar as well. anyone got tips??

Hey where is the console (gba snes etc) folder png files located on the build?

Looks like Hackchi has nice functionality, but usability and setup is more of a chore. Project Lunar makes it so easy to get games in and configured with proper artwork, but it doesn't have folders or anything that fancy yet. Kind of a toss-up, but I think for my uses I'll just keep using PL and wait for updates.

Is there a way to set all emulator cores at once for a given rom extension? its a PITA doing one at a time.

Hello, i have an "8bitdo m30 2.4g" controller but the "start" button doesnt seem to work, instead the buttons below this actual buttons work as "start"...is there any way to correctly map the controller to the true sega genesis buttons? It seems to automatically work on lunar project but not on retroarch..

I´m having issues with several games I tried to add (Sonic 3, Aladdin, Jurassic Parck, etc). When I try to play them it shows a message "Developed for use only with NTSC Genesis Systems". Does anybody know how to solve this? I´m playing with a NTSC Genesis and NTSC ROMS. Most of the roms I added showed no problem, but others gave me this message. HELP!

I like it so far. Project junar did a better job with cover art and spine art though. thats the only thing I've noticed so far.

My sega mini stock in 11% and then wait for rebooting 😔

Really don't like how project Lunar doesn't give us much on what they actually do to the Nand. Hakchi actually provides everything that they change, and the easy ability to dump the kernel/repair when needed.

You left an important detail out... you forgot to tell people make sure windows installs any drivers to the Sega Mini console before uploading the kernal data... otherwise you have to uninstall and redo the kernel process again

So, why in genre no have choice “fighting” and when make sync, every games after have all same icons 🤔

man fuck I wanted all the games together wow who the fuck would want the classic games off. Now I gotta fuckin figure how to put all games together

Have you tested playing any Amiga games on a Mega Drive Mini? I've tried Turrican 2 without success. Also, What about multiple disk roms? Thanks in adavance.

I have a big problem I have just installed project lunar, Megadrive Mini and the software can no longer uninstall it from the console, I can click on the uninstall button, nothing wants to remove, did you have any other ideas for remove this software Megadrive Mini cordially

How do u add the sega cd bios to the sega genesis mini? I have them just need to know where to place them

Very Cool!

I'm PC illiterate. How do you get genesis games on your computer to begin with? Got hakchi but no games on my pc to transfer.

Does this 100 items per folder count on USB drive as well? Even if you overclock your Megadrive?

That greats ! :) Just a quick question : Is it possible to use a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller with this hack ? Thanks !

So would you still be able to have the built-in stock background border for a game like Hyperstone Heist after downloading the module/emulator needed to play it flawlessly with all the audio?

Can anyone clue me into where in the Retorarch menu is the CRT scanline filters in this hack? Thx

Odd question. On my old SNES mini, I was able to use HackChi to install Sega. Does it work in reverse here? I'd love to get a GB/GBA emulator on it

I've got a few games that won't play due to it being a pal version,bis there any way to get PAL games to play on the MDM with hackchi?

Can I download this program for mac because I don’t have a windows computer

hey man can you do one of these for Hakchi 3.7.0 for NES classic? I'm trying to use this Patton Plays guy's videos for assistance, but it's essentially obsolete to me, or i'm just a moron. Your vides got me through project lunar with sega with great ease, but i'm having a nightmare getting the NES mini hacked with retroarch. Thanks for your videos!

i made the mistake of using my thinkpad from work to hack my genesis mini, since i have a mac at home.. I messed up since after hacking the mini i uninstalled project lunar without the console plugged. So my back up is probably gone. I tried adding or re hacking my console again from another windows computer but no luck so far. What options do i have? thanks
