[Lemaitre]

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.

Ah sorry if I was not clear enough but that link & dongle is specifically for use on the Nes Classic.

Edit: Also my mistake on presuming one dongle supports two controllers. It seems I would need to purchase an additional controller & dongle to use two controllers simultaneously.

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.

I mean its enough to get a hundred SNES games on there right?

Yeah I agree. I still think it's pretty nice the progress their making and the things you'll be able to do with the mini. I have one, using it for the sake of using it lol, and I have one in an unopened box that I'll prolly just keep for collectors sake. /shrugs

I see. I thought your link was for the standard (SNES-style) 8bitdo.

Thanks!

It is; or even more genesis / megadrive games.

Or lot's of nes, game gear, mastersystem, gameboy, atari 2600, lynx, wonderswan, neo geo pocket etc games..

 

[palazuelos]

Can I update the cover of the originals game or have I to hide them and add the roms?

 

[Pathfinder]

This is getting out of hand lol.

Amazing.

 

[Ben Morales]

Quick question... I'm on Ubuntu and using Wine to run Hakchi2 2.11. When I try to use the Download All Covers option I get an error which says: Error getting response stream (Write: The authentication or decryption has failed.) SendFailure

Just wondering if anyone else got this error. Would love to know how to solve it.

 

[tornjaw]

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.

I hope it works out.

Please ignore the puppy hair.

 

[spectator]

I hope it works out.

Are those just original (or repro) Super Famicom controllers with Wii-style terminators grafted on?

They were Japanese Club Nintendo rewards. I bought two (used) of them for 30USD (+15 for shipping)

Are you telling new I need 6 button controller now???!!

Dammit, going to have to open mine now aren't I!

 

[Kevin]

I hope they are able to get the rest of the mappers to work so that I can play games like Batman (without Retroarch).

I'm getting an NES classic and want to add a few games to mine...

Do you need anything to do this besides a PC?

Is the required USB cable mentioned part of the system or something extra you need to buy? Need any SD cards or the like?

Just a PC and the usb cable you get with the system.

 

[DonMigs85]

The Genesis and SNES emulation looks a bit choppy/speed hacky, maybe the SoC is just too weak?

You don't need anything.

SoC is not too weak. Emulator needs some optimisation.

[TLZ]

This is all good and everything but I'm going to keep my mini for Famicom/NES games only.

 

[DonMigs85]

Yeah, ditto. I'll wait for an actual SNES mini which hopefully isn't locked down tight

 

[D.Lo]

Me too. Part of the coolness of the system is it's an official NES that plays NES games (and Fami that plays Fami games in that case). The hacks allowed it to do that better, but Mega Drive or whatever I'll play somewhere else.

 

[JP]

I don't really want anything apart from NES and Famicom games on this system. If we don't get a Classic Mini: SNES at the end of the year then I may buy second NES but use it for SNES games.

 

[MooMilk2929]

Imagine if they get usb drives working with this with a multiusb adapter.

 

[andymcc]

have they expanded the amount of rom mappers supported yet? i wanna play some famicom konami titles!

Gensis/SNES games now added to the UI, without having to load RA:

Yes, the video below shows the RA solves many of the mapper issues (he is playing Crisis Force)

[Red Liquorice]

Wow. I guess this is where the NES Classic has it over the Famicom Mini because of the controllers. (sad face)

Yes it works, I am using one as the second controller.

Ah thanks, man I didn't think this level of hackery would be possible on this thing.

 

[Yaska]

I kinda want the Retroarch for Link's Awakening DX. Anyone here tried out the GBC emulators?

 

[Owari]

Can't wait to be able to access any retro game straight from the UI.

Any word on being able to add more storage yet?

 

[FinKL]

That's awesome that you can hack SNES/GEN games on there.

 

[superdeluxe]

The thought/hope is that all of this will get integrated into the next Hakchi version..whoo boy.

European Club Nintendo as well.

 

[riotous]

Is the advantage of this just the fact it comes form Nintendo and looks like a mini-NES?

Was going to do a retro Raspberry Pi or something but saw this thread.

you cant really compare both,

the pi can emulate everything till ps1. and is cheaper

the mini has a better UI but only 30 games or hacked about 600?
it prob will have proper gen snes gb gbc (gba) emulation in the future tho. but it lacks sd slot so you cant fit all.
and you will need a different controller to snes gba and gen
it looks cool tho !

Last time I looked the latest software got 868 American titles work. There is a rom set of slightly over 1000 (several games had several releases). A couple mappers still don't work but are being worked on so the rest of the titles should eventually work in time.

how do you play SNES games with an NES controller?

 

[AtomicShroom]

how do you play SNES games with an NES controller?

You don't. You connect a Wii Classic Controller or any other Wii-compatible controller that has enough buttons for it.

You can connect the SNES Classic Controller for Wii.

I can't believe it hasn't been ported to Mac OS yet

Anyone kind enough to provide link to 4+ button Wii controller(s) that works with this? I guess I'll finally double dip...

This is handy

Also, people keep raving about the 8bitdo controllers. Just hit up Ebay/Amazon/EB/Gamestop to buy one.
