Awesome! So glad the video was helpful. Enjoy that added system!

Emulation for NES and SNES has been brilliant as well so trust "Daddy" Nintendo to show us how emulation is really done, "Mama" Sega games play well as well so they must of known what was possible and probably optimized it to do so covertly stealing the future sales for the Megadrive classic

Hi Blaine, Even though I don't have a SNES Classic to jailbreak, I just want to say thank you for all the other systems I was able to modify and play my gaming backups. It sure saves a ton of space in my tiny game room! If you don't mind, as a token of my appreciation, are there any charities or organizations that you support? I would love to make a donation in your name. I hope you're able to follow up. Thanks again!

Hi Blaine, nice video tutorial. You state the internal storage can hold several hundred roms. Does it show you or tell you if you are going to exceed the storage space while adding the roms before synchronizing? I want to add the entire SNES PAL region roms 500-600games. Will be getting the SNES mini in a few days

[@rabb3306]

Great video as always! You're 3DS ones helped me a lot and now I'm looking at getting one of these! Roughly how many additional snes games can you fit on the console given the storage isn't exactly massive?

[@Sly_cptn]

I think I put around 80 on mine. Also, keep in mind you don't want to totally max out storage space because you need to leave some room for saving in game progress.

[@raprein3]

Aweeesome that this is possible!!! Thank you! ONE Question: where do i download all games as rom at once?

[@toysilly]

Do you need a PC to do this or can you use a Mac? Thanks

[@SELG88]

Man what program did you use to record your screen, I want to make a how to excel video.

[@tjizthabomb]

By doing all of this, does this erase the progress made on any of the original, preloaded games?

[@whiteformula98]

I got the while library of ROMs downloaded but none of them came with box art unfortunately. Hoping to find one that does instead of manually adding over 800 images. Thoughts?

Thank you for this super straightforward video. Next on the list is my SNES mini. Just cracked open an old PS Vita to start running PS1 and N64 emulators. Can anyone link the best source for SNES roms, asking before i go searching. Cheers all : )

[@davidgill7412]

I'd give it a shot. The newest version of Hakchi backs up the Kernel in your SNES classic's system memory. Follow the instructions in this video and you should do well.

[@admunt1577]

Hi, I'm having trouble adding new NES games to the NES Mini. When I added the game "Panic Dizzy NES" to hakchi2-ce-3.9.3 - the following message appeared: "Uses mapper #71 but this mapper is not supported by the NES Mini and the game will probably not start with the default emulatior. (. ..)". Then I noticed that the game freezes during the rogriffin. How to fix this problem?

[@dom85ross]

Great that thanks. I didn’t want to do the Alphabetised menu, I kept it at 30 games so they’d all be on the Home Screen but the new ones wouldn’t show so had to do it

I wish my modified snes had a search engine and able to mark/unmark favorites in console menu.

when using a USB drive as you did, do the saves also store in the USB? I'm wondering if it's possible for me to take a save from a gbc pokemon game I currently use on emulator and transfer it onto the SNES classic, or vice versa. I would love to play classic pokemon games on the SNES classic because of the great d-pad the SNES uses, but then transfer that onto my emulator so I can use that for my Pokemon Stadium playthrough.

[@Scribble2345]

When you add the games to the mini console, it also downloads other data like the box art, or the day it was released.

[@blowsagainsttheempire9658]

Note: When loading hakchi CE to the Snes Mini, connect the mini first and then hold reset. Otherwise it'll give you a 'rebooting is taking too long' message. The 'hold reset and then connect' is for the Sega Genesis Mini. 👍

[@davidgill7412]

Depends. What is it you want to run on your system? If you want to add anything new, then yes I would definitely update. Newest version of Hakchi has way more options and more user friendly. If your just adding more SNES games and don't care for USB host, just keep doing what your doing.

Hey Blaine! I'm absolutely loving your content as always. My SNES mini is hacked and ready to go :) Quick question: I ran into an issue with Secret of Evermore. It freezes shortly after the intro section. Have you seen this happen with this or any other games? If there's no easy solution, I'll have to keep playing it on RetroArch on my PS3 (but it feels "wrong" though LOL)

If you're running into compatibility issues, please install RetroArch onto the mini using the Hakchi add on modules. It will still use the SNES mini interface but the rom will be running in SNES9X .
