How to add storage to your NES and SNES Classic with an OTG Adapter and Hakchi CE (2019 Tutorial)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- Since the NES and SNES Classics have very little space to add more games, the Hakchi CE Developers made it possible to increase your storage using an OTG adapter. The adapters can be used for more than just added storage, you can also attach a wifi adapter for online gaming , or more USB Controllers for 3 and 4 player games!
**THE NEW MODELS OF THE INATEK ADAPTERS NO LONGER APPEAR TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SYSTEMS. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED YOU USE THESE ADAPTERS WITH THE MINIS!**

The gods of retro gaming have sent you fourth to spread the power of the mystical arts of Hakchi! Thank you!!!
Patton plays. Patton Tutorials. Patton rules!
Great video Patton! I actually prefer using an L-shape OTG adapter. You are right though in that you really need to be mindful of the stress being put on the power port. Luckily for me, my console lives in a dedicated stress free environment.
A light weight usb port don't put so much stress I think
Agreed
Literally looking for this just right now
I’ve only ever used the L shaped otg. Works fine for me but I see the advantages of your system.
Gonna give this a shot. Just ordered the octopus adapter. Gonna go get a usb flash drive and hope hakchi2 works.
Thanks for the video. Not a fan of the more popular L shaped OTG adapters. Much prefer the Y style OTG adapters. As you said they don't put strain on the USB ports.
A lot of people like the L shaped onse because they are small and don't look like an eyesore lol. Imo that stuff doesn't bother me as long as it works.
Good thing I work in the communications industry! I understood everything you said!
Love me some Patton videos! Miss those big store hunting vids :)
I was just thinking it's been a while since I did one. I'll have to come up with something!
@@PattonPlays awesome!
Thanks for another great tutorial!
Hey Patton! I love your videos as they have helped me out a TON! If I may make a couple of suggestions (in regards to the PS Classic)...
1.) Make a 'how to' for PSP games.
2.) Actually, just keep making 'how to' videos for each system while continuing to tell us the best core to use.
3.) Could you please, in a roundabout way, point us to the best place to obtain necessary bios files. Some search results are waaaaay too shady.
4.) Show us how to add thumbnails properly.
5.) Lastly, create a playlist on your channel dedicated specifically to each console for 'how to add systems' to these consoles. It'll be way easier and better rather than having to sift through all the videos.
Thanks for all you upload and the information you share 👍🏼
If you're not familiar with the channel it's pretty much what I do. Bios files are like roms, you will have to locate them on your own. And I have a playlist already made for Playstation Classic hacking.
Great work Patton. Thanks for this 👍🏻
Thanks!
I have problems with these octopus stile adapters, the L shape adapter is the only one that works for me.
64 GB drive and OTG cable is awesome
The Inatek is highly recommended from me! I had used the octopus one and the L shaped adapter and they both failed, my Inatek on the other hand has been going on about 6+ months plus and I use it for my PS classic as well as my firestick!
I need to pick up another one!
Do you have any heat issues with it or the USB flash plugged into it? I noticed some people complaining about that on Amazon.
@@excessmaterial nothing I haven't noticed, and I run a 256gb flash drive for my games. Maybe if you have all the slots filled with something than maybe? Or if you're using a power brick that isn't for the NES/SNES classic
Some dollar store usb extension cables will fix the problem with the inateck power cable.
In the end of the video you show the original games on TV there and then you connect USB thing to the SNES Classic and turn it on, what happened to the original games? Your TV don't seem to show them.
When you connect the flash drive, does the menu only show the flash drive games, not at all the games in the machine?
What about pages and folders? If one has lots of games in the flash drive, sure they also need to be divided into folders or pages to avoid errors. Can divide the games in the flash drive into pages?
Wondering same thing. Seems when flash drive is attached, you're only getting what's on the flash drive
You didn't talk about formatting the flash
I'm trying to use the Inatek adapter on the NES classic, but it doesn't seem to power it on through the USB-C cable. The adapter has power (LED on), so could this just be a dud? Looks like it works on the SNES, so I'd imagine it should work on the NES.
thanks for this man! it's great
I just got an OTG cable in the mail this past weekend. I'm going to try and make this thing work. I've tried watching the tutorial, but I'm somehow confusing myself. I copied all of my games to the thumb drive. Now I plugged in the drive to the OTG, but nothing is showing on there. I'll figure it out!
what did you do, i cant seem to get mine to work, no games from the usb show up, only on classic
Hey Patton man your a huge help was just curious if you were going to update all your vids for 2022 and the newest version of hackchi thanks again man
Did you do this? System was having a hard time connecting to hakchi2 so this is my alternative. I know my system can take more games cuz therss already like 5 extra ones on there. Someone said that means its a genuine snes but might mean someone used an older version of hakchi.
Hi, just a question, what tipe of usb josticks you recomend and how can install the drivers if thats is need?, thanks!
Yeah ....great video, but as well what controller is best to play?
Still can't get this to work on my SNES Classic...works fine on my Sega Mini, though...
Does this mean I don't have to mod it with the charger from my PC? And I can go through this device and a USB flashdrive?
Can you please update this tutorial for Hakchi2 CE 3.8.0? The GUI is a lot difference than what's shown here.

If I've already setup games and cores on the classic, would I be able to simply export "extra" or "additional" games to the USB and have those load onto the console, or would I have to remove all loaded games and export the entire library (updated extra games and all). If able to just export the new titles, are they easily accessed from the usual UI or is there an extra folder/step? Thank you for the tutorial regardless :) hope to hear from you.
The “Y” works good too. My octopus fell apart and so did the inateck... and sadly the two inatecks I tried to get to replace the one didn’t work. It’s hit or miss with all options sadly. Looking forward to your new videos
Hello! Do you have the link for the "Y" OTG?
night86 the auvipal 2-in one micro usb b cable (otg + power cable ) 2 pack and I got it on amazon.com like all my other otg stuff .
Just make sure it’s a b and not a c to fit right
@@neildarr I second the Auvipa 2 in one It works great.
If I plug in a USB keyboard with this setup, will Retroarch recognize it like it would a controller?
A quick question. If I used the HSQS files to navigate between the systems, would it make it possible to access internal storage with the drive plugged in? For example, having the SNES Classic NAND in the drive attached to my NES Classic. Would that work? Or do I need to have everything in the flash drive regardless?
Hey Patton, you should add a warning concerning the Inateck adapter, apparently the last versions are not working with the snes mini (just found some comments about that on reddit). Just got one after seeing your video, but impossible to start the snes, the light does not come up. The Inateck light is on tho, so juice is coming. Instead of the TV USB I also tried to pump the juice of the Inateck hub by putting the charge on a strong wall socket outlet, no luck either. Now I'm going for another hub (I already got the L Shape adapter, it's working, but sometimes you have to reboot 10 times to make it work so it's not good in the end). My 2 cents. Thanks for your vids anyway, very useful!
There is a warning in the description. Since info cannot be added to a video after it has been uploaded this was the only way I could warn people of the new model.
@@PattonPlays Ahah well, indeed, you're right, who reads the description anyway :D Thanks ;-)
Patton 🤘🏼
Boom!
Can you use a N64 controller with a usb connection and connect it to one of those USB ports?
Just wondering how playing N64 games work.
Does the snes controller have to be connected at the same time?
Or can a wii classic controller do the job?
Quick question. Why is it when the flash drive is plugged in and the system is turned on, the original games are not available? Shouldn't the menu system show all games available on either the internal memory or the flash at the same time? I'm a bit surprised...I would have expected something like a USB folder on the screen you could choose which then contained the games on the flash drive.
The way the drive is mounted you can only choose between the two. The drive overrides the internal storage.
A possible workaround would be putting a NAND/HSQS file of the corresponding system to the flash drive. Maybe that would work, I dunno.
Do you have to keep deleting the data off the flash drive when adding new games? Every time I try to update the mini with new games it won't export to usb so I have to delete data first then it works.
For the inateck adapter is there an extension to make the cord longer?
Hmm, it don’t work for Me. I copy the Games and have all Folders, but When i Start the snes i See the Games on the snes. He don’t load the Games from usb.
Sharp Salvatore i have the same issue... did u fixed it?
Useful? Heck yeah!!!
Also i cant seem to find the same inateck card reader + hub on amazon for some reason
What if you export games into several flash drives and then connect the flash drives to the ports of the Octopus USB adapter?
I already have hachi on my mini snes with about 60 gaves some that are played and have saves i dont want to lose the saves as i have noticed when ever i updated more games to mini snes i lost the saves and had to start over can i just put the roms to usb and use a utg cable would the games just be extra ?
Thank you very much
When i try to connect the inateck adapter (the power-light is on) with my SNES Mini, it doesn't get power. Do I something wrong?
If it is a new model then chances are it will not work anymore :/
I have seen several other tutorials that swear by the L shaped one, but I have always been curious if these octopus ones enable you to add controllers and play a 4 player game, have you done this?
Can i use "only" usb controllers without connect the originals snes mini controllers? Example: usb ps3 controllers in port 1 and port 2?
i cant get mine to work although my mini is modded 😞
Can I use the USB Controller for Singleplayer?
got one of the Octopus ones but it doesn't get power :(
Does this still work?
Patton, I got three adapters: the single USB, the angle and lastly the octopus adapter. None of them are syncing with Hakchi 3.8.0. OTG not been recognized. Is it normal? The only way I found to "put" the games on my flash drive was inserting the drive directly to my pc USB. Then syncing with Hakchi. And after that ( I installed a lot pc-engine cd and arcades on 64GB) the loading time becomes extremely slow. The start up taking 5-6 minutes ( or more)!! Why is that? Is the mods? I don't get it. Please let's hear some feedback.
It seems for whatever reason despite following the video, I'm unable to get this to work. 😭
Please help, I have the inateck plugged in but my nes mini is not getting power through the micro usb cable. It only powers on when I use a USB output on the inateck hub, but my USB stick does not seem to be detected that way
I'm having the same problem. Did you find a solution?
@@joecramer3684 Just got the Inatek and I'm having the same issue. I'm wondering if it's faulty or if the adapter doesn't work for the NES for whatever reason.
Supposedly the new model inateck adapter doesn't work with the mini sytems.
I purchased the Inateck hub, when I plug it in the power light comes on, but when I plug it into the console the console will not power on. Is it defective or did I do something wrong??
Thanks Patton! It's better install the hack on the flash drive or to do it on the Classic Mini itself?
Thanks again.
Either one is fine. What I do is install the cores to the system, then use a flash drive for the games.
@@PattonPlays How to install a hack on a usb??
I'm using Hakchi Ce v. 3.5.3. How can I sync the games on my USB drive?! If I put some new games into Hakchi and pushing "export games" it puts ALL games over again and that takes such a long time! It does not sync, it copies ALL games again,not only the new games. :-( Please help!
If I put all games on the usb do I put the cores on the snes mini?
That is what I recommend.
Do I need to plug the pen drive and snes together into my pc to do the procedure?
Can someone confirm if I need to redownload the cores and put them to the usb or can I just have the cores on the mini like I do now and just add the games to the usb? adapter should be in any day now so just making sure before I get it
UPDATE: you can keep the cores on the mini and just add games to the usb. example if you already got your snes hacked and just want an usb to add extra games then just export to usb and you’re good to go
Hi. Excelleny guide. If i mod my genesis. Can i use the same usb drive on my snes mini and genesis. Virse versa.
I added games to my snes mini using hackchi on an old computer. I just got a new computer. I redownloaded hackchi. Since my snes is already hacked, would I be ok to just use the usb to play new games?
Would this same process work for the PSOne classic and retrobleem? Minus hackchi ofc
hey um i was wondering will the snes and nes games that dont work and have incorrect mappers will those games work with this usb storage hack
Are 3.0 flash drives compatible with the octopus style otg hub
I added a ton of games in the USB, got hakchi running, was working but now crashed with C8 error. Heard I need to make more folders. How do you go back to edit? Do I hook up the SNES Classic and USB at the same time again with Hakchi and hit the power reset for it to connect? Will it read those USB games? If so do I hit export when done structuring folders?
After I hack my system adding in the cores I want and retroarch, I can turn off my system, unplug it and then plug in my USB drive separately to add the games is that correct? They don't have to be plugged in my computer at the same time?
Thank you. If only there was a more elegant solution. The cords kinda ruin the mini classic look
If you're any good with a soldering iron check out the internal SD card tutorials.
Could I use the same USB for both console?
Is there an easy way to get the font back to its original default setting on the nes/snes?
64 games can be played in snes? In mine they are unplayable too slow
Depends on the game; many N64 games do not work. Patton Plays did a video trying out some games to see which commonly requested ones work. Mario 64 is the only one I've tried and it works great.
That's bc the hardware capabilities needed to run N64 games are more demanding than the hardware in the classic.. which is made to emulate 2D 16bit snes games.
Very few will run at full speed. I know Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 both run very well. Mario Kart will sometimes freeze due to the limited memory on the system.
works with hakchi 2?
Speaking of GoldenEye, have you been able to get it to run properly? After about 15 minutes of play I get some serious slowdown to the point of becoming unplayable.
No it doesn't run well at all. Probably a bad one to pick for the demonstration lol.
Where the hell can you get that kind of small, handy USB adapter with 1xmale micro USB, 1xfemale micro USB and 1xnormal female USB ports?
Looks much better than the multi USB hub or what it is supposed to be.
These USB adapters often seem to have USB-C ports rather than micro USB ports.
I assume you have to use adapters with them.
Hit the export games button. Is this also true for the Echo10 SD mod?
It's been a while but I don't believe so.
Call me a noob but does it mean that if you use the adapter with a flash card (or similar) you can play all the games you want while it's plugged in. But at the same time keeping your SNES mini's soft- and hardware original? I ask this because I don't want to alter my original SNES mini's software but do want to 'hack' it to play different games.
No, you still need to flash the system.
@@PattonPlays ok. Thanks. But what does that do to the system? Pros and cons? I really like your videos btw, best tutorials around!
Can this be used for sega genesis mini? Trying to get this otg cable to wrk
Yes it can, if you're using the Inatek brand unfortunately those are no longer supported.
Is there anyway i can get this otg cable to wrk with the sg mini?
Hi Patton... i have my cores installed on the snes mini and some games on my usb drive... snes games added works fine but my tg16 games are not starting... is my tg16 core corupted ?
It is hard to say what the issue is. I recommend going to the rocking the classics discord for assistance.
Thanx for responding! I’ve finaly changed my hakchi version and get the latest CE version... everything works fin now.... even ps1 games and Turbo Cd! Thanx a lot for your tutorials... these helps a lot ! Keep up your fantastic work ! I’m a real fan now!
For some reason it's giving me a C8 error whenever I try to go into a folder, anybody know why?
Too many games in the folder. Put a max of 60 games in each folder
@@Itsfayd wasn't that because I set it to just 45. I think the left angle dongle I bought doesn't work right because my system recognized it once and than not again after that. And I tried multiple different USB stick. But I think it's easier to just put games on the actual system that I'll actually play because I can still keep other games in my laptop and just switch them out here and there.
been trying and trying and it doesnt work, i think the otg cables dont work on hackchi 3,80 i did everything in the turtorials and the new games just wont show up on the usb, not sure what i have to do, or if I have to get the l shape adapter.
Can you transfer your save files from the snes mini to the flash drive? None of my saves from the system transferred over to the flash drive.
did you ever figure this out I want to know how too
@@Itsfayd unfortunately no I haven't
Ismael Tirado I heard something with the hakchi on the usb if you delete the save folder that allows you to use the console as saved but I don’t know if that keeps the save states. I been looking into this cause I wouldn’t mind if the usb had the games where the mini has the save states as long as it keeps the save states I already have
@@Itsfayd I'm not sure unfortunately. What if you transfer the save state files?
So if the newer models don’t work do the older ones work ?
The older models work yes.
So these don’t work on Newer Hakchi CE versions? I updated to CE 3.7.0
Great video as always thanks Patton.
Thanks!
