Issues with hakchi and usb
So after setting up a USB successfully on my genesis mini that runs genesis, game gear, master system games successfully, I am trying to do the same with my nes mini.
The issue I am having is that my nes mini is refusing to show up games I add to the usb. Doesn't matter the game, doesn't matter the system the game was designed for.
I am trying to add games for gb, gbc, turbografx 16, and turbo cd. I can add the games directly to the console but the turbo cd games are where I have an issue as they are too big for anything but a cd. I was able to get things working but I ran into an issue with putting saves on the USB. Mainly it felt slow and clunky and caused crashes. So I deleted a file to try to get rid of the saves and it has not worked since.
I am using the portable version of hakchi. My USB drives are fat32
Things I have tried:
I have tried resetting the mini to factory settings and reinstalling hakchi, cores, and retroarch on it. I reformatted my drives and added the games again. I formatted the USB and added a fresh version of hakchi.
I have tried to change the USB stick to another as I thought space or power draw may be the issue as my original USB that worked temporarily has a led light that I thought might be drawing power. Still won't boot from USB.
I installed bios files for each game type in the right directory on my mini (system folder I think)
Other games are running fine from the mini so this is a headscratcher for me. It plays turbo cd games before temporarily before I deleted the saves folder.
I have tried with and without linked export.
I look at tutorials and am seeing a simple 3 step process that I am following. It was that easy with the genesis. Now why is the nes mini giving me this much trouble? The portable version is still new to me so maybe something there? I did use a portable version with the nes mini.
I haven't checked the move saves checkbox when loading to usb and it's the only thing I feel I have not tried.
