​@@GarrettBuffingtonIt's worth mentioning that the USB adapter needs to have the USB port on the right hand side, otherwise the power/video cables get in the way.

[@At_the_Bottom]

I _reeeally_ wanna mod my SNES classic, but I've been worried that I'm gonna F it up, killing my console in the process. This video is the first one I've watched that doesn't make the Hackchi+Retroarch installation/set-up seem intimidating! Its simple, well spoken, and concise, without a million clicks showing us all the intricacies and things that most people will never use. I'm gonna have to get one of those USB host thingys ..but when I do, *this* is the video that I'm gonna come back to! Thanks again d00d👍🏻

[@GarrettBuffington]

Glad to hear! Hope you enjoy, I've definitely gotten more use out of it after modding.

I had an SNES classic edition and i sold it as due to money concerns. Now I'm in a better condition and will buy it again.

I got one of these as a birthday gift this year and I modded it a month ago. It's even cooler than it was when I first got it! :D

[@DABADDESTBARB]

do they still sell them? and what does modded mean

[@AKablalik]

When it comes to these types of mini console mods, I try to keep it as stock as possible. The farthest I usually go is to add 5 or 6 more games onto it, (Chrono Trigger, Super Mario All Stars, etc) and calling it a day. I like to make it look like those games were there in the first place, with the copyright info and all. I also just find the folders to look ugly and unnatural for my kind of set up.

[@criticalbarrelroll4698]

Really good informative tutorial. Eager to try this out.

[@RadishDoctor]

Fantastic video. Literally thought about when the last time I did an update to my SNES Classic and pleasantly surprised to see a very well constructed video detailing anything new and a few tips such as regarding putting GBA games on there.

[@IceEnderman252]

TIP: if you want more console/folder icons, click on Structure, then click on Folder Images Set, then change it from Default to ''Faustbear'' whatever that is.

[@RetroGamesNow86]

this makes me want to revisit my SNES classic and pimp it up! great video!

[@FloridaManRacer]

I have neo geo, Genesis and TG-16 games added to mine, and I still constantly go back to play them this way vs any other because I love being able to turn on a physically present console that is authentic from Nintendo, grab an authentic SNES controller, and play. I got the NES classic and put master system and some Atari games on that one, and I also have the Sega Model II mini console but that's not currently easily hackable...

[@BowsettesFury]

I did this two years ago after my original Switch died just to add more SNES games. Never saw that other systems could be emulated on this mini console. That’s interesting.

[@Marc_Araujo]

Hakchi2 is awesome and incredibly simple to use for NES, SNES, and both Genesis minis.

[@skins4thewin]

These things are FANTASTIC when hacked!! They function JUST like a Raspberri Pi or Android Box, but even better! The interface is just so slick & easy to use. Makes a freaking fantastic all in one box!

[@EveryDayCivilianBlog]

I modded my nes classic with the full nes library and absolutely love it. Haven’t even touched my snes classic collection and haven’t had a PC worth a damn since before the nes classic. Don’t think I’ll be doing this mod due to a pc investment needed.

[@RubianGaming]

I bought mine the week it came out. Never even booted it before modding.

[@Julayla]

I have both the SNES Classic and Genesis Mini Model 1. And yes, while I do enjoy the games that are listed there, modding them both can make both systems better and it's made me happy.

[@nunyabusiness896]

Another option, especially if you don't already have an SNES classic, don't want to mod it, or don't want to buy a bunch of add on parts like memory cards, etc. is to get a Datafrog SF2000. An SF2000 with two wireless controllers is on Aliexpress for usually around $25 and plays NES, SNES (excluding Super FX and some Mode 7, they chug), Genesis, some Arcade, GB, GBC, and all but the most demanding GBA games. The ROMs are already included and it has pretty much everything, I've only added a small handful of games I noticed missing and they can easily be added to the "ROMs" folder of the SD card (DO NOT let Windows "fix" the SD card when you put it in your computer!). It'll also natively do composite video out to a CRT TV for a really authentic experience and has a built in screen to use as a portable device. It's not perfect, but it's hard to fault for how much it offers for the price.

[@awill891]

I got the euro version of the SNES classic cuz I saw one pictured on a 3rd party controller box in a video rental store when I was kid in the late 90s. I modded it 7 years ago added a couple games and never touched it again lol! But I ended up getting in to CRTs and PVMs in 2019 to connect all my original (SNES, N64, Genesis, PS1, PS2) consoles in RGB and they look stunning!!! I'm a nerd into the real hardware and love how the old consoles look. But SNES classic is a pretty cool system for 99% of the population who prefers emulation.

[@retroalucard]

Man, Thanks for featuring my wii theme for snes classic🥰, I also made PC engine mini & TG mini themes for snes classic. Awesome video btw.

[@GarrettBuffington]

The Wii theme has pretty much been my default theme, I have lots of nostalgia for the Wii lol. Great job making this!

[@skins4thewin]

You don't need any sort of USB host mod. You just need a simple OTG USB hub with a power connection & extra USB ports for a USB stick that has your games on it.

[@kacygellins]

Can you elaborate please? I have the correct OTG USB adapter and a USB drive.

[@skins4thewin]

@kacygellins If you have the correct ones already then what is it you need to know? You just need an OTG USB hub that has a power input. One of the USB inputs should have a Power symbol on it. Connect the USB hub to the USB input of the SNES Mini and then the power supply to the plug on the USB Hub that has the Power symbol, that way the SNES Mini can get power. Then you can use the remaining USB plugs for your storage aka your USB stick that has your games on it.

[@cecillewolters1995]

You sir are a hero, thanks for making this video ^-^ The only gripe I have with this system are the short cables and the ability to switch games without pressing the reset button

[@GarrettBuffington]

Actually once you mod your SNES, you CAN return to the home menu without pressing the reset button! When you're in-game, just press down + select, and it'll take you back to the menu. But once again this only works after modding it.

Love the video. For me, my SNES classic edition is going to stay as is. I REALLY wish I would have picked up the sega mini consoles when they were a sane price.

[@wchorski]

A modded 3ds has been my biggest time sink as of the last 2 years

[@leorelic]

as great as SNES Mini is , here's some fun facts : NES and SNES Minis use the same exact hardware inside. meaning you could play same games on both. also a PSClassic is far more accessible due to selling a lot less and is hackable very easily and can support even more systems to run on it due to a bit more power in them. that's where i play my SNES games on now thanks to Retroarch , it can even run DS games with DraStic just fine. there's also apps like SM64 (and SM64 60fps) , Sonic Mania , OpenLara and more.

[@tubesami]

"NES and SNES Minis use the same exact hardware inside. meaning you could play same games on both". Yes but try playing SNES games with a NES controller

[@leorelic]

@@tubesami that is true until you realize both also use the same controller ports. you can also use third party stuff with a converter , i'm sure the Wii Classic Controller also works natively on it because same connector

[@ryanpervola163]

For n64 games you can also get the n64 classic switch controller and the 8bitdo wireless adapter and sync them up that way so your using an authentic n64 controller to play n64 games while also being wireless. This also works beautifully with the snes classic controller.

[@GammaRayTech]

[@turbinegraphics16]

I used to like watching the replays of the savestates but I never found a way to increase the time. Eventually retroarch drove me to stop using this as I was so annoyed with the input lag and glitches, that usb adaptor would also be easy to lose when I put this system into storage. Good memories.

[@Questionable_Insights]

Good video... wish someone would make an updated video on how to add additional storage because some of the recommendations (OTG cables or whatever) that I've seen no longer work. Also, when using Retro Arch, there are ways to improve the input lag. I don't remember every setting because it's been awhile but I instantly notice in certain games (e.g. NES Contra) when make the changes.

[@CHEVYWAP]

[@preamstrikbiz0]

Alright so I have a handful of things to say about this video , both to the creator of this and those in the comments. * iv modded about 30 of these consoles between NES , SNES classics , PlayStation classic and Genesis Mini first release * ( videos provided on my channel ) 1) you cannot use just any micro usb cable to run from your mini console to your computer . Only the NES Classic edition and Super Nintendo Classic edition come with what’s known as “ Data Lined Micro USB Cables “ . So make sure you use a data lined Micro USB cable , preferably the NES / SNES classic cables. 2) later in this video there was footage of Mario Kart 64 and Mario 64 stuttering / lagging . A lot of that has to do with not overclocking the system / not using the right version of Retro Arch that was suggested within the video . That’s not to say that if you do that that every game is going to run flawlessly , but you would have to really play around with a FTP server within Hakchi to overclock the system from 1.2 GHz to 1.344444….. GHz to get better overall performance for the games on the classic consoles , especially games that require more technical performance. I have a Genesis Mini and Super NES classic edition that’s overclocked with I believe it’s either Retroarch 1.8 Overclock or Retroarch 1.9 Overclock ( the UI background that shows a guy riding a dirt bike ) and they can run Arcade emulators of classic fighting games like Street Fighter Zero 3 , Kings of Fighters 98 and the Original PC version of ultimate doom with the additional Sigil episode with no problems what so ever due to the system being overclocked in tandem with the right overclocked version of Retroarch installed . I mean it’s so cool. For PC Doom on the SNES classic edition you use a Wii Classic controller to use the bumpers for weapon changing and strafing . On the Genesis mini your best beat is to use a PlayStation Classic controller and the Genesis mini will map the PlayStation Classic buttons identical to the SNES Classic edition would with a Wii Classic controller . And when it comes to the fighting games that are the arcade version is , it’s basically like turning these mini consoles into semi mini Sega Saturns / Sega Dreamcasts ( especially the Genesis mini with a 6 button or Retro-Bit 8 Button controller ) 😉 Also there was mention of forcing games that are incompatible with the Canoe emulator into Retroarch / snes9x . The problem with that is , if you get the games working outside of canoe for Super Nintendo , yes there is the potential of more latency but also you loose the ability to do not only save states but more importantly the rewind feature ! Remember ! The Super Nintendo Classic Editions biggest advantage over the NES Classic edition and the Genesis mini was the ability to do rewind of up to 60 seconds for a standard genre game and up to 4 or 5 minutes in a JRPG / RPG. One thing to keep in mind though games that do run on canoe that you save in / can go in rewind if you choose to make many save states they will take up nearly eye to eye the same real estate as the game sitting on the console in itself so be aware of that . Also a game I tested this out on the SNES classic that needed to be patched for Canoe use was Street Fighter Alpha 2. When I applied the patch because it’s a late title special Chip game , it took up the space of 5 Super NES ROMs but can run off of canoe with rewind and save states instead of using Retroarch / snes9x . Ironically though games like PC Doom take up nearly the same amount of space even without the recently added Sigil episode but just the 4 main episodes . One other customization that was not mentioned by the way in this video was changing the music in the game selection UI . I learned how to do this from a few KZbin videos but you are able to do that was well. First I did the final battle theme from Street Fighter Alpha 3 on my SNES Classic ( which there’s a vid on my channel of that as well as a Bluetooth board mod that takes place in it as well ) and then I made a Super Nintendo Classic Edition modded with extra games and custom music for one of my favorite Hip Hop artists ever , Cormega , as a gift of being a dedicated fan. And everytime he turns that SNES Classic I modded for him on it plays some of his best instrumentals he ever rhymed over. Once again though when you do a mod like that try to make any of the loops anyware from like 20-50 seconds long cuz it equates to like a game and a half to 4 games worth of space for each different background music track you decide to add. There’s many videos and hacking sources out there on the web. On my channel I have for reference Super Nintendo Classic Edition mod vids both for just standard SNES games only , music / hardware mods for the SNES Classic edition , Sega Genesis Classic overclocked videos , SNES Classic edition overclocked vids , and PlayStation Classic capture which includes PS1 running on a better emulator then the stock one and Dreamcast running on it as well along side with Super NES and Genesis usage on the PS1 Classic too. Thank you and open your eyes to the modding scene of these little things 👍

[@GarrettBuffington]

Have you figured out how to play games in full screen with out the bourder sprites

[@landenstewart4289]

maybe in retroarch you could stretch it out, but then it wouldn't look right. there are patches for some games to make them run in wide screen with out the stretched out pixels, but I don't know if the snes classic can run those.

[@mrgatogris8863]

Can this be done on Mac ?

[@those65]

Wait SNES Mini has enough power to emulate N64 games?

[@GarrettBuffington]

From my limited experience, it depends on the game, and even then it may not run at a consistent frame rate. Lookup "SNES Mini Nintendo 64 Compatibility List - Notes I made on N64 games added to my NES Classic" on Reddit for a much detailed look on each N64 game's performance.

[@DragoonMS]

I mean, even the New 3DS line can just barely run N64 (there's stuff that works, but plenty more that don't) via Daedalus X64, and it can also run PSone pretty well, too (at least, it runs 2D fighters like Marvel vs. Capcom, and 2D platformers like Megaman 8&X4-X6 like a champ)...so this ain't too surprising.

[@theforgottenmovies3265]

I tried to install more SNES games too, and it worked pretty good if you installed the American versions of the game. It was sadly because I want to have PAL because I live in Europe and have my beloved European SNES Classic Mini. (The American is so ugly) But the sound was very strange from when you play them on original hardware so I had to install NTSC instead. So when you play Super Mario All-Stars and see the ugly controller on the screen before you go in and play the game it don’t feel so good in my soul. But it works great to play the games now. I should never install other games from other consoles on my SNES Classic Mini, but if it works well and you own the original games it is good for you. But I want it to be like it was meant to be when I get the console from the beginning.

[@GiSWiG]

Careful of the cheaper ones on ebay, they are most likely knock off, though some seem pretty good. I modded my SNES Classic back when they were a thing. I also have an echo10 sdcard adapter. Mine currently has a 32gb internal SD card with about 18gb in use which covers all systems including Sega CD, TG-16 CD, and more. N64 is pushing it and it is recommended to put on a stick-on heatsink right on the dip of the metal plate on the cpu. It has to be on the small side like .5x.5 inch and not much higher than a 1/4 inch, but that is all from memory. Since I got my Analouge Pocket, I haven't used the mini systems but the Genesis mini can do Sega CD, Analouge Pocket cannot do to the limits of its FPGA. N64 is best left to the Wii/Wii U.

[@GarrettBuffington]

Really informative. I didn’t even consider using an SD card adapter, might have to look into that!

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

I never got one because of how ridiculous the NES classic was to get initially with an insufficient number being delivered to stores and those mostly going to scalpers because Nintendo was trying to sell the least number possible.

Easy! Simple! Even I can do that! So what gives? Am I doing it wrong? I just want to play Twisted Metal, and Sarges Heroes. Am I overthinking this? Is it really that easy? I feel like I'm missing something really obvious that nobody has said out loud for how stupidly obvious it should be, and it makes me want to rip my own head off. Help?

Besides that you could try disabling Windows Firewall, using a different cable, or using another USB port. r/miniSNESmods is an incredibly helpful resource as well.

You didn't even try PS1? I bet it runs way better than n64. Maybe NDS runs too

[@iamdmc]

Nah I'll keep it pristine in the box for collectors value

Most consoles on ebay for the prices mentioned are fakes... authentic ones are more like $150 now for little used ones. It would not matter if the fakes were good copies, but they cannot be modded.

[@jg3000]

[@Rayu25Demon]

Modder need to find a way how to increase the storage.

[@shinji956]
