v2.21f (internal version 2.0.21.72)
Minor update, nothing special.
- Altered free space calculation.

- "Turbo A/B" hack working correctly now.

v2.21b (internal version 2.0.21.32)
What's new:
- Better games compatibility for SNES Mini (updated database of preset IDs, better LoROM/HiROM detection).
- Built in database of problem games, so hakchi2 will ask you to switch to 3rd party emulator automatically (e.g. RetroArch).
- Original games are not using extra memory space anymore, so we have some extra space for additional games (thanks to DanTheMan827!)
- "remove_thumbnails" mod no longer slows down SNES Mini's startup (thanks to brian91292!)
- Bundled with new mod "snes_custom_filters" which allows to disable scanlines in CRT mode or enable bilinear filter in 4:3 mode. Please read mod description before install.
- Bundled with new mod "extra_space". This is experimental mod for SNES Mini which moves your save-states data to unused partition of NAND flash. This partition is only 50MB in size but it will free some space for games because SNES Mini's save-states are huge. Please read mod description before install.
- Bugfixes.
Instructions for new users:

- For expert users: you can select SNES game and press Ctrl+Alt+E to show hidden Preset ID editor.
- Individual profiles for different consoles, so you can use the same hakchi2 for both NES, SNES, Famicom and Super Famicom. You can select console type using "Settings menu".
- 7-Zip compression support for all platforms and emulators. You can compress or decompress any game using only one checkbox.
- Group operations. Now you can select multiple games in the main window, right click on them and do mass compression or mass cover downloading only for selected games. Hold control to select individual games.

Not so much new features but many bug-fixes and improvements:

- Sorting feature for Save Manager
- Support for ultra shitty cheap Classic Controller clones (custom kernel re-installation required), but hardware modification is required (pull-up resistors)

- Finally installer and auto update, lol
- Screenshot tool
- More translations to different languages

Yes, you can use web installer now: http://clusterrr.com/soft/hakchi2/setup.exe
This is static link, it always points to installer of latest version. Also it will install all required components if they are not installed. This version supports automatic update just in one click. So it's very recommended to use installer instead of classic portable version. Please note that all user files (kernel, config, games, etc.) will be stored in "My documents\hakchi2" folder by this version. So just copy your files there if you want to migrate to non-portable version.
So:
- hakchi2_web_installer.exe - installer for non-portable version (recommended for new users)
- hakchi2.zip - classic portable version
- hakchi2_debug.zip - dubug version with verbose logging, download it to create bugreport for me
2.16c
This release introduces some extra tools:
- Save-State Manager. It will help you to transfer save-states from NES Mini to PC and vice-versa as well as delete unwanted save-states. Remember that save-states will be remained in the system ever after game is deleted, so this tool is very usefull to cleanup your NES Mini and free some space.
- FTP Server! It will be helpfull for advanced users, this tool allows to transfer any files from/to NES Mini using any FTP client. So you can easyly dump original games from NES Mini, edit some configs, etc. And it will help you to cleanup system. I'll update FAQ soon.
- Telnet Server. It provides access to NES Mini's command line interface. Basic Linux knowledge required.
Also there are some fixes and translations updates. There are some untranslated strings in French and Polish languages, I'll update them soon (waiting for translators).
2.15
Not so many changes, just a bunch of critical fixes:
- Using internal games packing instead of external "tar" util, it will fix "Can't pack games" error.
- RAM memory usage optimizations, hakchi2 should work fine on x86 systems now.
- Possible memory leak fix during folder navigation (testing required).
- Free flash memory space automatic check and basic memory usage statistics when not enough flash memory available.
- clovercon driver creates /dev/clovercon1 and /dev/clovercon2 now, you can read current buttons state from it, it's useful for some scripts.
- Translations to German, Greek, Spain, Italian and Polish languages. Write if you want to help with translation.
