Sega theming overview

This section goes over changing the theme of the Sega Genesis and Mega Drive mini systems.

Theme setup options

HMOD

FTP

Single theme

Note: Make sure the .png background image name is exactly as shown without quotes ‘background.png’.

From the hakchi main screen:
Goto Tools > FTP

From here you will need to navigate to:
/usr/game/hakchi/ui/md/

BUT at first only /usr/game/ will exist.

Navigate to /usr/game

Create new folder named hakchi

Navigate to newly created hakchi folder

Create new folder named ui

Navigate to newly created ui folder

Create new folder named md

Navigate to newly created md folder

You are now in:
/usr/game/hakchi/ui/md/

PASTE your background.png here.

DONE

Cycle power on your mini and when it boots it will use this image for the background.

Theme per region

Note: Read and understand the single theme section above prior to moving on to this section.

If instead of having a single background you would like to have a different background per region you can use the following folder structure.

/usr/game/hakchi/ui/md/us/background.png
/usr/game/hakchi/ui/md/jp/background.png
/usr/game/hakchi/ui/md/eu/background.png
/usr/game/hakchi/ui/md/background.png

You will now have 4 separate background.png files.

When booting the system checks the currently selected regions folder “{region}/background.png” first, if that doesn’t exist it checks for “md/background.png”.
If none of these exist it will boot with the stock background.
