I've recently bought the PS1 mini and despite not being tech savvy, I've successfully installed Autobleem with Retroarch. Also bought a 8 bitdo adapter for my dualshock4. Some TH-cam videos really helped me out. Playing games with enhanced filters it's a dream. Currently playing all the Crash Bandicoot games and Silent hill. Now I'm considering the SNES mini.
Thank you for this update video. I've had mine hacked for awhile (and only got Neo Geo games working last week...NO idea what I was doing wrong), but refreshed videos of the latest firmware is always appreciated.
To anyone who is on the fence on getting an SNES mini: Get it! I’m in my forties and not computer-savvy by any means. “Hacking” as they say, and bringing each and every single SNES game you ever loved is SO easy! THANK YOU! I LOVE my great old SNES games! Best years of video games by far!
Dude. DUDE. Thank you so much! This is literally my preferred way of playing SNES games, and now I have more to play on it! Thank you so much. You’re amazing.
I ordered a second snes last night, gonna try the usb mod... it’s been awhile since I’ve used hakchi... I have one of the original versions on my SNES from 3 years ago
Thank you for mentioning and linking to the NES Classic. Been wanting to get one to go with my other mini consoles and been kind annoyed the average price online is $150+.
@@Restalgia I just got mine in the mail. It doesn't come with an original box. It was a plain brown box with a color sticker of the NES Classic console itself. The thing has no signs of use and looks brand new. Thanks again for sharing the links!
When I first discovered this idea, I thought it was impossible to get those SNES games from that app. Until, I found a way emulate my favorite games that were worth playing. I would love to thank you for showing me this video.
@@Larry Sounds like either a slow or a faulty USB drive? What type of USB are you using? SanDisk Cruzer Glide 2.0? SanDisk Cruzer Blade 2.0? Philips Snow USB 2.0? The SanDisk one typically work well for me, though I've yet to try the speedier 3.0 models.
Thank you sooooo much for posting this video and the links. I was desperately looking for a system and was able to order an nes. I was so close to breaking down and paying $160 for a new console or $130 for a used one. Saved me at least $80!!!! Now I didn’t receive it yet but I’m hopeful lol. Ps I don’t get the Nintendo site. There was no link to the Nintendo store that I could find. Almost really screwed me. Hopefully an snes will pop up soon.
As someone who grew up on the Nintendo systems in the past, I can assure you that the Nintendo company is out to screw you out of every penny they can get. I understand businesses are in the business to make money, but Come on man, I’m not desperate or stupid. If I want to be entertained bad enough I’ll just start reading books again.
Thanks for the tutorial, but I’m new at this and I have a question. Once Hachi2 is installed, are NES/SNES games already there to download and install into the console from the program itself or do you have to download those ROMs separately from another emulator source? Just a precaution question.
No games are included. You have to find your own or backup your own physical carts. Just use Google, which you should be able point you in the right direction for those
I just tried this snd had the same problem and spent a half hour looking for smc files and there are none. Your better off just paying someone to do this who already has the files.
Thanks for the big help! You were very helpful. Was able to find a ROM website for both my NES and SNES Classic consoles - I have had both in my possession for about two years and I've wanted to hack them but never had the time... Until today. Both now have over 70 games! Thanks for the help.
this video helped me get 54 new games added on to the snes. Surprisingly enough I got third party nes games to work like bible buffet, Im not a fan of bible games but that one was really fun.
What's so surprising about that? The SNES Mini is just an emulation device; it doesn't even remotely have anything in common with how a real SNES operates.
Great guide. Thanks a lot! I am not sure how the OTG adapter would work. In fact, I had never even heard of it until now. If it plugs into the micro USB port, how do you then power on the Mini?
Late reply, but you would have to get a dongle that has multiple USB inputs and supports OTG. Since the NES/SNES classic uses that port as OTG, it can charge the unit as well as send/recieve information at the same time. I hope that makes sense for you.
I'll be doing this later tonight. Quick question though, how are you using a usb for the games? I'd love to load it up but I don't know the adapter that is used for the usb stick. Any info would be great
Does this process also work on Mac? And also, where do I get the games from? I see you loading ROM files that are on your computer already. Where do I get those ROM files?
You might mention this in the video, but if so I missed it. What kind of storage space do these have? How many games can fit on the NES or SNES? Like, could you potentially install all of the available games on it, or would it run out of space? Thanks for any answers
I got hakchi and everything setup - loaded my roms, saw them on the list. Turned off and on the console. They don't appear in the menu... How do I reconnect the SNES mini to the PC and sync these games?
Great guide! Im not as computer savvy as i used to be so this helped a ton. Also is there a way to make it so games are full screen? The only way ive found is to change tv option to stretch but it makes it look really bad
It's pretty easy. I've modded mine a handful of times and I'm not computer savvy AT ALL. So many good games for the SNES. Definitely get E.V.O.! I've started playing it recently and it sick! Lol good luck, guys.
Have you had any luck with the Xmen arcade game? I've seen both a 2p and a 4p version. I try running mame2003 with 2p version, but it runs so choppy. Trying to figure out how to get it to run really smooth. For some reason, the 4p version runs a little better but it's still not that easy to play (there's input lag as well).
I would strongly advise to people not to use the stock emulator (Canoe) on the SNES mini if you're adding SNES games download Retroarch and use SNES9X core games like Killer Instict will not run properly and also a lot of games will have glitches in the audio, otherwise good hunting.
I would recommend people looking at the SNES mini compatibility list. I have like 15 games that need to run on retroarch. Plus I use a setting that removes the blur on the CRT filter that won’t work on retroarch games
Not sure if you will see this message but here goes. I was successful in mod’ing my NES classic to play SNES and N64 games too. Only issue is the old classic controllers don’t work on some of the N64 games like super mario 64. I can’t seem to figure out how to reprogram the old controllers to work on the N64 games. I was thinking about buying a N64 controller off Amazon but I can’t seem to find an adapter to connect the N64 controller to the NES classic system. Ideas? Suggestions? Any advice is great. Thanks.
To add more games after I've already added some, do I just hook it back up to the computer and pull up hackchi? Do I need to do the kernel thing again? A helpful tip too is I had to turn the firewall off for the time I downloaded these
@@Restalgia sweet thanks. I did my nes and accidentally erased all the previous games, but my kids didnt play half of them anyway. Was able to add some cool ones. I used vimms layer for games is there a better site for roms?
Followed the tutorial and it worked perfectly, thanks for this. I do have 2 questions. 1. Is it the exact same method for the NES Classic and 2. When I want to add new games do I just have to just plug the USB into the computer or do I have to install it every time.
Quick questions, because i want to buy them all, but im not entirely sure if i should do that or just make a raspberry pi build with a 3d printed case. The Nes is not really problematic, as the games are very small, but the library of games available is quite extensive. 250 mb is quite restrictive. So you can actually plug an usb on the back with all the games? So technically you can have all the respective libraries of the games? And what about the cables? I saw in the reviews that the cables are too short. Any way around them? wireless would be perfect. Can it be done?
Question...I have every SNES and Super Famicom rom ever. But they're all in .rar format. Do I need to extract them? Usually you don't have to extract cartridge based and arcade roms
@@christinarawlings948 Thanks. But I never had to extract them when using my Super Retrocade or just running an emulator on my laptop. I just drag and drop. But I guess you have to extract them when it comes to the NES/SNES Classic.
I have easily followed all instructions in this well made video ready for when my snes mini arrives in a couple of days! the only thing i cant seem to find is add more games? i can find the original games fine but where do you get all the extra roms from and how do you add them?
Always been a great help in this scene. Thanks! Yet I'm still debating, worried about the refurbed controller quality. I wish they made a quality usb option
Seems to work well. I've received both my SNES and NES classic and I haven't tried the nes yet, but the SNES controller seems like the original and perfectly fine.
It works ok, I would say that the feel is not anywhere near the quality of modern controllers like ps4 or Xbox one but my kids have played this for hours and aren't gentle and its done fine
Hi this looks cool :) wanted to ask something about the psc, do you know if there maybe will be update to retroboot for it as retroarch got couple updates since the last one ? :)
Hey Steve, many questions. You didn’t show anything about what OTG to get or how it works or how it’s plugged in. You also said pre-formatted USB but didn’t say what those settings were. How is all of that done???
Will installing an NES core or other core, override the SNES core? or is it adding to the system so you'd be able play both SNES and another console's games?
you flashed the custom kernal (which had no added games yet)... I already have the desired games on Hakchi2... do I have to unselect the games I want to add and flash the original kernal first??... I also intend to deselect 3 of the original games and add patched versions instead... so just unselecting those 3 originals during the process of adding games should hide those original 3 right?
I've been having issues kick starting the Kernel. I start the Kernel Click Install click OK to begin and when ask to follow the steps to connect the SNES to the laptop I follow the steps instructed. But I'm not sure once I'm holding the RESET button and plug in the cable if the SNEW light suppose to be On or OFF? cause on my system the light is off when plugged in. Second I continue to hold the reset button until I see any blinking lights but nothing happens for over 10 mins. Am missing something? I'm using the original cable so it should have the data line and I tried different cable as still nothing.
I don't wanna brick my system so I had a question. I used hackchi v3.5.2, originally. However, I've since reformatted my computer, and the website I obtained hackchi from is no longer there. Can I use v3.8.0 and skip the part about installing the kernel?
Hi, can you please help me? I just started modding my mini NES with Hakchi 3.8 So far...so good. I've added NES Games and I've starting to add SNES games. I'm bringing them to Hakchi as Zip files and that's ok. But I'm not seeing a title on top of the list of games for SNES like I see with NES Games and Original Games and New Apps. Why am I not seeing anything for the SNES Games? Also, do I do the same for Sega Mega Drive games? Do I just slide them over as zip files? Please help.
Hey quick question if I want to uninstall my 3.52 version and upgrade to the 3.80 version do I just uninstall via repair copy games folder and config over to new 3.80 folder and install correct ??? That will retain my original setup ?
I have a new MacBook pro and I'm trying to add games via virtual box + Windows 10 - But I'm using a generic USB (not the one it came with) and because I have a new computer that only has a USB-A port I'm using a USB-C adaptor (Adaptor plugged into the computer and USB plugged into adaptor and console). I'm not getting the prompt after the Kernal to put the console in FEL mode. Could it be the USB-C adaptor? or the fact that I'm using a generic USB sync/charge cable?
Can you help me with this problem? On my SNES mini I can easily load and run SNES and NES games, but I can't figure out how to play PS1 games... I think the problem is on the bios files, and I almost tried it all... put the .bin files into the folder, use the tool to install custom bios, drag and drop into the hakchi app.. nothing work, if I load a PS1 game there's nothing but a black screen for a couple of seconds.. I have installed all the required mods too... Am I miss something? Thank you! 🙏
when I get to the part that I have to install hakchi onto my SNES i do the correct steps by having the power button on and holding reset and then finally plugging the USB in but it does the download on to it and it does not even recognize nor say that I pugged something in ?? Please some help would be nice!
No matter what computer or usb I use, I get timed out when I’m attempting to flash the kernel. I’ve disabled firewall, allowed access to hackchi, everything...still get the “taking a long time to reboot.” Any ideas? Thanks.
@@AX-tu7du yes I did! I was holding the reset button the whole time, but if i let go of the reset button after the tone you get on the computer when you plug something in, it would work. Hope that helps--it’s hit and miss on the discord server, they have some people in there that are pretty rude.
Hi, I bought a SNES Mini that came already modded, and I've noticed that some of the additional games on it have incorrect artwork and names. Is there a way I can edit them without reloading a custom kernel, and connecting my laptop to the console since I don't have an adaptor?
My SNES Classic is already running a very old version of hackchi. Nes, Gameboy and Genesis games on it too. Do I need to make the Snes stock before I do this, or can I just start from here?
Awesome vid, and thank you for the helpful info. Do you know if we can just reflash, starting with the Repair/Install Kernel step if we want to switch up our games?
Just to ask dose this word with snes rom hacks like kaizo mario world? And do I have to use the snes or snes mini(the one with 4 different colors on the controller)?
What if its already hacked from one of the first releases and you just want to use an updated hackchi? or maybe even back up your current snes and the games?
yeah just update the hakchi application on your pc and you will be good :) If the kernel requires an update, it will notify you and do everything on its own.
@@Restalgia why when i did everything when i opened the games in my nes classic it just sends me back to the game select screen edit: my nes is the european ver
Gotta search the internet .. l remember something about "no-intro" ROMs maybe from emuparadise.com .. you should be able to find a complete set of both NES and SNES
@Mr. Peanut no I thought they came with it with the download I found some I thought last night but would not work. Is there a certain site and thank you so much for your help
Make a backup af your stock SNES firmware first! Before you flash your SNES to custom. Please, this is such an important step. It must be mentioned for sure, just wanna be helpfull. Hachki rules, spread the word! 😀👍
@@Mr_Redsfan When you say fresh out of the box, do you mean before the Hakchi hack? Because I was told once you have dumped the Kernel, you can't get it back the way it was as the Hakchi logo will always show when you boot it up.
I modded my snes classic but I haven’t used it in like a year. I would like to factory reset it before I try the newest mods. Any way to factory reset?
Thanks for this, i have both a modded SNES Mini and a PS Classic mini but i used the early mods and never updated since then.... Can you make this for the PS Classic as well?
Just get a genuine, real SNES and a flashcart called "FXPAK Pro". It's expensive, but well worth the money and supports much more than what the SNES Mini is capable of.
@@Restalgia finding the otg here is such pain in the butt esp. ones which enable the usb drive but thanks for the info, want to play ps1 using this mod
does anyone know,,, I'm getting ready to upload 67 SNES Roms onto my SNES Classic, one of them is Game Genie... will having it installed allow for it to do things like add blood in Mortal Kombat??
just a heads up to anyone doing this hack. Ive done custom software on a lot of my systems in the past, and this is by far the easiest one. If you can't get this to work have someone else do it for you. But before you do any modding just read the stuff on the subreddit info and discord server, takes about like 10 minutes.
hey man, i didn`t get that about the usb drive, first: could i use a usb stick too? second: how can i use the usb with the snes mini, isn´t the usb connection also for the powergrid? i got the european version btw, thx in advance
What about BIOS files like for the FDS and swapping sides? I thought RA was supposed to automatically select (on NES mini) what core to use or has that changed from the earlier mods? Is there a way to know what games have to have the stock core switched without loading every game?
Do you know how to remove the little green info text that often appears in the top left corner of the screen when you start the various roms you've added? I'd rather they look like perfectly untouched versions of the games, and I don't care about some rom hacker telling me the rom version or their online tag or whatever.
Does this mod replace the stock emulator and replace it with some existing emu like what you use in retroarch? Would prefer to keep the unit stock, but have more roms and an extended menu to accomodate added games.
I was wondering the same thing, my mom bought a bootleg version using a custom os with no rewind, borders, and the screen is stretched when playing a game. Save states hardly work, save states take a while to load, etc. Needless to say, this custom os is shit.
I am wondering if there is a different procedure to get into the proper mode for updating the kernel as I have a super mini sn-02 which is probably a famiclone type of device... I connect it to my pc and it can't seem to read it when I try to install the kernel to it. thanks.
I need help with something. A few of the games I've downloaded said that I need a 3rd party emulator in order to play them. Do you know the best one to use?
I bought a hacked snes with the otg and usb memory card with 700+ games but i want to add a few extra that are not on there. Can I just use another USB memory card and just add to that one or is there something special I had to do? Also how can I add zelda parallel worlds considering its a hack game?
does this tutorial fix the bugs of some games? I heard terrinigma, act raiser 2 etc didn't work using this method and you had to do something else. I was wondering if those game just work with what you did and do nothing else
I bought the snes the day it came out, opened it and used it a few times only since, its more of a "collector's item" for me... I thought about doing this but was worried about bricking the snes mini... should I be worried about possibly bricking it since they are not easily available? Or is this basically safe to do?

I have easily followed all instructions in this well made video ready for when my snes mini arrives in a couple of days! the only thing i cant seem to find is add more games? i can find the original games fine but where do you get all the extra roms from and how do you add them?
Always been a great help in this scene. Thanks! Yet I'm still debating, worried about the refurbed controller quality. I wish they made a quality usb option
Seems to work well. I've received both my SNES and NES classic and I haven't tried the nes yet, but the SNES controller seems like the original and perfectly fine.
It works ok, I would say that the feel is not anywhere near the quality of modern controllers like ps4 or Xbox one but my kids have played this for hours and aren't gentle and its done fine
Hey Restalgia, I wanted to know if there was a good place to download roms for the SNES. Any recommendations you have ?
Use google - type in the name of the game followed by rom and search.
Hi this looks cool :) wanted to ask something about the psc, do you know if there maybe will be update to retroboot for it as retroarch got couple updates since the last one ? :)
I believe Genderbent (retroboot dev) is always working on new releases as new updates to retroarch come out.
Ok but where do you get the roms from?!? All these videos assume we have the roms already...
Hey Steve, many questions. You didn’t show anything about what OTG to get or how it works or how it’s plugged in. You also said pre-formatted USB but didn’t say what those settings were. How is all of that done???
Great How to. Much appreciated.
God bless Hakchi!
Thanks a bunch man!
Will installing an NES core or other core, override the SNES core? or is it adding to the system so you'd be able play both SNES and another console's games?
Adding
Awesome video thanks for the help.
you flashed the custom kernal (which had no added games yet)... I already have the desired games on Hakchi2... do I have to unselect the games I want to add and flash the original kernal first??... I also intend to deselect 3 of the original games and add patched versions instead... so just unselecting those 3 originals during the process of adding games should hide those original 3 right?
I've been having issues kick starting the Kernel. I start the Kernel Click Install click OK to begin and when ask to follow the steps to connect the SNES to the laptop I follow the steps instructed. But I'm not sure once I'm holding the RESET button and plug in the cable if the SNEW light suppose to be On or OFF? cause on my system the light is off when plugged in. Second I continue to hold the reset button until I see any blinking lights but nothing happens for over 10 mins. Am missing something?
I'm using the original cable so it should have the data line and I tried different cable as still nothing.
I don't wanna brick my system so I had a question. I used hackchi v3.5.2, originally. However, I've since reformatted my computer, and the website I obtained hackchi from is no longer there. Can I use v3.8.0 and skip the part about installing the kernel?
Thank you for this video! But, where did you get the games? in the 8:00 minutes of the video.
Does it auto back up your snes mini? or you have to do manually and how? thanks
Hi, can you please help me? I just started modding my mini NES with Hakchi 3.8 So far...so good. I've added NES Games and I've starting to add SNES games. I'm bringing them to Hakchi as Zip files and that's ok. But I'm not seeing a title on top of the list of games for SNES like I see with NES Games and Original Games and New Apps. Why am I not seeing anything for the SNES Games? Also, do I do the same for Sega Mega Drive games? Do I just slide them over as zip files? Please help.
Same question
Hey quick question if I want to uninstall my 3.52 version and upgrade to the 3.80 version do I just uninstall via repair copy games folder and config over to new 3.80 folder and install correct ???
That will retain my original setup ?
I have a new MacBook pro and I'm trying to add games via virtual box + Windows 10 - But I'm using a generic USB (not the one it came with) and because I have a new computer that only has a USB-A port I'm using a USB-C adaptor (Adaptor plugged into the computer and USB plugged into adaptor and console). I'm not getting the prompt after the Kernal to put the console in FEL mode. Could it be the USB-C adaptor? or the fact that I'm using a generic USB sync/charge cable?
HELP! Everything works except the part where I have to install the Kernel. Ive do everything, power on hold reset plug the USB and nothing happen.
Same with my snes did anything ever end up working?
Can you help me with this problem? On my SNES mini I can easily load and run SNES and NES games, but I can't figure out how to play PS1 games... I think the problem is on the bios files, and I almost tried it all... put the .bin files into the folder, use the tool to install custom bios, drag and drop into the hakchi app.. nothing work, if I load a PS1 game there's nothing but a black screen for a couple of seconds.. I have installed all the required mods too... Am I miss something? Thank you! 🙏
when I get to the part that I have to install hakchi onto my SNES i do the correct steps by having the power button on and holding reset and then finally plugging the USB in but it does the download on to it and it does not even recognize nor say that I pugged something in ?? Please some help would be nice!
I have a similar problem I install everything only is export to sd and it doesn’t read.
can you do a method with only the nes because i’m getting confused? thank you
So if I need to add more games or reinstall another kernel, do I just flash it or boot it from the kernels advanced menu?
No matter what computer or usb I use, I get timed out when I’m attempting to flash the kernel. I’ve disabled firewall, allowed access to hackchi, everything...still get the “taking a long time to reboot.” Any ideas? Thanks.
I'm also having that problem it has been some time since you posted this comment,did you figure it out?
@@AX-tu7du yes I did! I was holding the reset button the whole time, but if i let go of the reset button after the tone you get on the computer when you plug something in, it would work. Hope that helps--it’s hit and miss on the discord server, they have some people in there that are pretty rude.
@@dap844 Thank you mate!
Hi, I bought a SNES Mini that came already modded, and I've noticed that some of the additional games on it have incorrect artwork and names. Is there a way I can edit them without reloading a custom kernel, and connecting my laptop to the console since I don't have an adaptor?
My SNES Classic is already running a very old version of hackchi. Nes, Gameboy and Genesis games on it too.
Do I need to make the Snes stock before I do this, or can I just start from here?
You'll be notified of the upgrade. There's no need to revert back to stock first.
Awesome vid, and thank you for the helpful info. Do you know if we can just reflash, starting with the Repair/Install Kernel step if we want to switch up our games?
Just to ask dose this word with snes rom hacks like kaizo mario world? And do I have to use the snes or snes mini(the one with 4 different colors on the controller)?
What if its already hacked from one of the first releases and you just want to use an updated hackchi? or maybe even back up your current snes and the games?
yeah just update the hakchi application on your pc and you will be good :) If the kernel requires an update, it will notify you and do everything on its own.
@@Restalgia i tried this and it wouldnt detect the snes however it does detect it on an older version straight away
@@Restalgia why when i did everything when i opened the games in my nes classic it just sends me back to the game select screen
edit: my nes is the european ver
I appreciate your vids
Does Hakchi come with ROMs or do you have to find those separately?
did you figure this out?
How do I get to the Rom files?? I’m stuck and can’t find where the games are to add?
Did u ever figure it out cause I got the same problem
Gotta search the internet .. l remember something about "no-intro" ROMs maybe from emuparadise.com .. you should be able to find a complete set of both NES and SNES
I'm there now !!!!!!! When I click add games I can't find any rim files
Rom
@Mr. Peanut no I thought they came with it with the download I found some I thought last night but would not work. Is there a certain site and thank you so much for your help
When I click add more games, there are no games listed for me to pick from? I am navigating to the SNES file I created for hakchi...
same here steve need more help please
Make a backup af your stock SNES firmware first! Before you flash your SNES to custom. Please, this is such an important step. It must be mentioned for sure, just wanna be helpfull. Hachki rules, spread the word! 😀👍
What are the benefits of doing this?
VirajKathwadia yo return it back to stock
VirajKathwadia if you break it somehow you can restore it to how it was fresh out of the box
Good tip!
@@Mr_Redsfan When you say fresh out of the box, do you mean before the Hakchi hack? Because I was told once you have dumped the Kernel, you can't get it back the way it was as the Hakchi logo will always show when you boot it up.
I modded my snes classic but I haven’t used it in like a year. I would like to factory reset it before I try the newest mods. Any way to factory reset?
Thanks for this, i have both a modded SNES Mini and a PS Classic mini but i used the early mods and never updated since then.... Can you make this for the PS Classic as well?
The latests mods on PS Classic have already been covered. :) you wanna look for my latest videos on either AutoBleem or Project Eris
I’ve been trying this for like 4 or 5 days the custom kernel still won’t work
Just get a genuine, real SNES and a flashcart called "FXPAK Pro".
It's expensive, but well worth the money and supports much more than what the SNES Mini is capable of.
Sorry im new into this mod scene, so what did you say at 5:25 is you can plug usb drive into player 2 port?
Not on the snes classic but you can in the sega genesis mini. You need an OTG Adaptor for the snes/nes classic
@@Restalgia finding the otg here is such pain in the butt esp. ones which enable the usb drive but thanks for the info, want to play ps1 using this mod
@@Restalgia will 128gb usb stick will do the job or was it way too much and cause lagging?
Do you have to add the games that are already on the system when doing this or do they automatically add to the system?
does anyone know,,, I'm getting ready to upload 67 SNES Roms onto my SNES Classic, one of them is Game Genie... will having it installed allow for it to do things like add blood in Mortal Kombat??
Hackchi has the games themselves or do you have to get the games from another site?
Other site
just a heads up to anyone doing this hack. Ive done custom software on a lot of my systems in the past, and this is by far the easiest one. If you can't get this to work have someone else do it for you. But before you do any modding just read the stuff on the subreddit info and discord server, takes about like 10 minutes.
hey man, i didn`t get that about the usb drive, first: could i use a usb stick too? second: how can i use the usb with the snes mini, isn´t the usb connection also for the powergrid? i got the european version btw, thx in advance
What about BIOS files like for the FDS and swapping sides? I thought RA was supposed to automatically select (on NES mini) what core to use or has that changed from the earlier mods? Is there a way to know what games have to have the stock core switched without loading every game?
Can you get fan roms this way too? I just want to play some Super Metroid and Chrono Trigger fan roms.
Do you know how to remove the little green info text that often appears in the top left corner of the screen when you start the various roms you've added? I'd rather they look like perfectly untouched versions of the games, and I don't care about some rom hacker telling me the rom version or their online tag or whatever.
Search for no intro ROMs I believe
I’m confused where do you get the Super Nintendo game folder????
Does this mod replace the stock emulator and replace it with some existing emu like what you use in retroarch? Would prefer to keep the unit stock, but have more roms and an extended menu to accomodate added games.
I was wondering the same thing, my mom bought a bootleg version using a custom os with no rewind, borders, and the screen is stretched when playing a game. Save states hardly work, save states take a while to load, etc. Needless to say, this custom os is shit.
I am wondering if there is a different procedure to get into the proper mode for updating the kernel as I have a super mini sn-02 which is probably a famiclone type of device... I connect it to my pc and it can't seem to read it when I try to install the kernel to it. thanks.
you are the best! thank you
I need help with something. A few of the games I've downloaded said that I need a 3rd party emulator in order to play them. Do you know the best one to use?
I bought a hacked snes with the otg and usb memory card with 700+ games but i want to add a few extra that are not on there. Can I just use another USB memory card and just add to that one or is there something special I had to do? Also how can I add zelda parallel worlds considering its a hack game?
does this tutorial fix the bugs of some games? I heard terrinigma, act raiser 2 etc didn't work using this method and you had to do something else. I was wondering if those game just work with what you did and do nothing else
I bought the snes the day it came out, opened it and used it a few times only since, its more of a "collector's item" for me... I thought about doing this but was worried about bricking the snes mini... should I be worried about possibly bricking it since they are not easily available? Or is this basically safe to do?
you can factory reset it in Hackchi
@@Shottyaim really? So basically no risk of bricking it uh? Makes me feel better about doing this.... thanks!
