FAQ

The menu doesn't open

• Hold the combo for about a second: L + R on a SNES/Super Famicom, B + Down on a NES/Famicom. If you changed it in Controller, use yours.
• Check in hakchi that Options Menu is installed (Modules → Uninstall extra modules lists installed mods).
• If you use an hmod that replaces the console's libstdc++ (e.g. RetroArch 1.8.4 Xtreme SC), install Options Menu (compat) instead. See Installation.

I set a combo I can't press / forgot

Uninstall and reinstall the menu from hakchi, or delete /etc/options_menu/button.cfg over hakchi's FTP or SSH and restart the console. It goes back to L+R (B+Down on NES/Famicom).

An entry I expected isn't there

Entries that can't work right now are hidden:

• USB entries (backups to USB, Saved Games, logs) need a USB/SD drive connected
• RetroArch needs RetroArch installed
• Restore Wifi Config needs a backup to restore
• Epilepsy protection is NES/Famicom only, Start on 2nd controller Famicom only
• Entries added by other hmods only show up while those hmods are installed

Does it work with CompCom's 1.3.4 plugins?

Yes. The command file format is the same, with new optional fields. The old PREVIEW_IMAGE_X/Y/WIDTH/HEIGHT fields are accepted and ignored: previews are always centered and scaled to fit.

Japanese text looks blocky

Install the Japanese Font Pack for a smooth Japanese font.

How do I report a problem?

1. If you have a USB/SD drive, run Advanced Options → Diagnostics → Save kernel log (to USB), and System Information.
2. In hakchi, choose Modules → Generate modules report.
3. Open an issue with what happened, the report, and /media/data/log/dmesg.log.
