I'd recommend hacking as soon as possible. Just follow these instructions I stole off of neofag

With the first official final release of hakchi now out and working with the SNES Mini, it made sense to dedicate a thread to this wonderful little tool.

So what are the basics?

Releases · ClusterM/hakchi2 · GitHub will always be the link to get the latest release. Right now we are on version 2.21c (internal version 2.0.21.40). Download the .zip file, unzip to a folder, and then follow these instructions to get adding your own games.

Despite what that page says, please do not use the web installer.

1) With the SNES Mini attached to your PC via USB, hold reset, turn the Mini on, wait a few seconds, then release reset. The light will not be on.
2) Go to Kernel, Dump Kernel. Install the driver if prompted. DO NOT lose this file, ever.
3) Go to Kernel, Flash Custom Kernel. Your SNES Mini is now haxed.
3a) Optional, but recommended if you aren't doing too many games. Go to Settings, Pages/Folders Structure and pick Disable. ("Too many games" means 63 or more. SNES Mini crashes if you have that many)
4) From now on, simply use the Add Games button, pick your SNES ROM, fill out the details, assign some box art..
5) And when you're done, hit the Sync button bottom right.
6) Now turn the SNES off, wait a moment, then turn it back on without holding reset. The light will come on, your new games will appear.

Note that in future you do not need to hold reset. Simply have the SNES Mini attached to your PC and turned on, you will be able to sync new games while it is in that state.

Make sure to dump the kernel and not lose it. That prevents bricking the console.

People who bought this and have PC's really have to hold that L.

I get the analog feel about getting it, but they raped everyone with how little games they have...no Donkey Kong Country 2, Tactics Ogre, and especially no NBA JAM? :gucci:


So while yes, they did hit the people with the best 15...they made people hold the L with the lack of titles like Chrono Trigger.:rudy:

I actually think the system is a solid deal.
Not everyone wants to hook their PC up to their TV. Come with 2 controllers that are a near perfect clone of the originals (although the cables are manageable but still too short)

It's very easy to hack too to put whatever games you want on there. I gave over 10 hours in Tetris attack alone already. Been playing through DKC 2 and CastleVania Dracula X too. It's a cool little system. I love it

It's simple, really. Some people (like myself) just want an official/authentic product. I still have all my old systems, and it looks dope next to my OG SNES.

I'm fully aware of emulation, and have used it for about 15 years now. It's still dope to have the authentic product. I really don't see how that's an L
