Stupid noob question.

For the life of me, I can’t get any pc to add games to my nes mini through hakchi. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. I’ve got my games, I connect the nes, but the red light on hakchi never turns green. Every time I try to add games, it tells me to make sure the system is connected. Any tips? Or am I just overlooking something? Thanks dudes.

Edit: and when I go to dump the kernel, it says “done” with the green bar full, but it just hangs forever.

when you plug the usb cable in do you hold down the Reset button and press the Power button (while still holding the Reset button). Then, let go of the Reset button. ???

what OS version are you running? could be a driver issue or the usb port just isnt picking it up. I always had that issue on a Windows 10 laptop where it was very finicky about the NES's usb cable. If you by chance have another microUSB cable laying around ,you could try plugging the NES with that to see if the computer reacts differently.

I’ve tried on a windows 7 pc and my normal pc which is on windows 10. Same error on both computers. It’s weird because my snes worked and got all the games on it like a champ. So... I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Normally, I’d just play my snes, but I let my friend borrow it, so...

Uninstall/reinstall the app and the driver. More then likely it’s an issue with the driver. Also, just to be safe try another usb

I started out with a fresh installation on my mom’s windows 7 laptop after trying it on my windows 10 pc. I’m getting frustrated. I try to dump the kernel and it just hangs as the “done” bar.
