Clcik the title where its says "Cart Images Version 5 - The FDS Release - Notes in post " should take you to file dropper
edit> Oh there was a new page where its been answered.. hahaha
I keep changing my mind about which style of cover/cartridge art to use, sometimes you can just have too many choices.
More mappers unblocked by madmonkey? (Reddit - 7th February) - There's an image of Batman: Return of The Joker on the screen.
EDIT:
Do we have a list of the "female" games that work on the Mini? I've not played any of them but always likest the idea of a bit of extra Zelda and to see what else people have done.

What bad reputation? It's known as one of the most technically advanced games on the Famicom, and a really solid action game.
Is he working on a hack for that?

Thank you hackers, thank you.

With the size of the mini being 512 MB. I know you can fit the entire NES library in there several times over. But how many snes games would 512 MB hold?
AtomicShroom

Depends. SNES games are typically anywhere from 512KB to 4MB. I'd say in average you're looking at ~300 SNES games.

Nice. Looking forward to more work from Honeylab

Is madmonkey trying to upload a new nes emulator to the machine or amend the onboard one?
superdeluxe

I thought madmonkey was jsut working on the mappers? Its Honeylabs that is trying to figure out the emulators re SNES i believe.
Sir_Crocodile

I meant the nes emulator. By "working on the mapper", does that mean trying to amend the current emulator to be compatible with more mappers?
I had thought the emulator was in read only and if it was to be more compatible it'd have to be a new nes emulator uploaded.

Looks like Retroarch has been ported to this thing. Amazing!

Oh my god...
If this thing is playing SNES games now, I might have to get an 8bitdo controller.

Its stronger than the Wii right...? 👀
That's the word on the street. This is all super early, the guy who posted the video said there is no reason why that can't be brought in to the current front end with a little more work.
Btw are the 8bitdo controllers reliable for wireless play? I love their wireless Nes controller and their wireless SNES one as well but the reviews seem all over the place?
Anyone have experience with the company?

I've never used one, but there are people on gaf that are praising them like crazy. The wireless does put me off a bit too though.

I've finally started adding games now and my "I'm only adding a couple of games" plan seems to have fallen by the wayside. 😕
Do we have any idea what sort of space is saved by enabling the "8bit PNG compression" option in hakchi2? Surely there can't be much of saving due to the image size only being 140 x 204?

Not to be a debbie downer but I'll be surprised if they can support more buttons than A/B/Select/Start. This cuts the legs off almost all 16-bit games. I can't think of any games that'll work for other than Sonic.
I hope someone can figure out a way to package these nicely, however. It would be amazing to be able to list Sonic next to Mario and have it just work.

Did you watch the video? In SMW he ran, jumped and spin jumped.

I suspect thay'll be able to support them via the wii classic pad.
Doubt it, at the moment we're working with just over 500mb or storage.
It was inevitable.

I had a pi zero for messing about with but now I really want a nes mini if retroarch can boot up on it.
Just a mention, the pi zero even when overclocked a little bit could not run all snes games well, super metroid would suffer in places where effects were being used but it looks like the example in that video had super metroid running solid 60.

Holy shit, lmao.
I *just* finally got one of these...gonna get this set up immediately once it arrives, and get some 8bitdo controllers!
Its great and all but at this point now you might as well just get a RPi 3 device....but if you already have a NES Mini then why not

How many NES games can you currently put at the same time on the Mini with this awesome hack?
As I was trying to get retroarch working on the mini last night I looked at my Pi3 and then decided to give up.
Yes, at this point, for this reason, a pi3 is the better buy.
500ish megs isn't going to get you very far except for old KB sized games.
when does he run? I see only jump and spin, no running.

You can fit far more on the mini then there even are good nes games. Triple digits is not a problem apparently, but I've not gone that far as I don't own that many nes games.
Unfortunately the dongle for the Nes Classic/Wii/Wii U is not sold separately so you'll have to buy the 8Bitdo NES controller.
However one dongle supports up to two controllers. I bought their wireless SNES controller and plan to use that if I ever get SNES games running on the Classic.
Thank you, but I'm trying to figure out if I need anything additional to attach the 8bitdo's dongle to the NES Classic, being that the NES Classic uses the Wii-style connectors and I'm guessing the 8bitdo is designed for USB.
