This isn't looking good for the future of hacks, so much for hacking the Snes Mini
Power consumption isn't something can be fixed.I'm not gonna get my hopes up, to be honest, it may be the incompleteness of the program

Before everyone is calling this the end of the world: The SNES manual states that a 1A PSU (5W) is required. So anything below tat is within the devices range. How did you guys measure the current draw? Are there any "scientific" results? What's the current draw in the menu? Does it only climb during emulation? Might it simply be an issue with retroarch being more CPU intensive?This isn't looking good for the future of hacks, so much for hacking the Snes Mini

I don't know, maybe you all are a little bit too worried about this. It's not nice, sure, but I mean when I see how hot my mobile phone gets sometimes when doing emulation via MHL connection to my beamer and it still works after nearly 4 years. I personally don't think it will brick your device fast when you're playing sometimes a few hours. It's not getting that hot (at least my device). Yesterday I played and flashed basically the whole day and it was hot, but - like I said - not THAT hot. Even when this can't be fixed, I'll stay on the custom kernel. It's not an expensive car, you know...
You can throw a 1000watt power supply into a PC and your GPU/CPU/Etc can still overheat if not ventilated right.
I quit playing Demon's Crest and when I tried to load Super Mario RPG it shut off... no error, no shutting off message, only went off. I tried booting it back up, it wouldn't, I have to wait few minutes before it can be turned on again. Looks like an overheating issue to me.
Do you understand voltage, current, wattage etc mate? Let me put it this way I've got no concerns over a device drawing 700mA at 5 volts, if you all want to go back to stock then sure that's your option. It's all good (y)
Also your power supply is not inside your SNES Mini
No need to get snippy, stating that heat affects lifespan, this is a KNOWN thing...
I never said the heat was messing with the power supply...

does anyone know how to resolve the annoying c8 error. tried reflashing everything but have to push power down 2 times to shut down now
that's right i've experimented that my device randomly shut down when reset and in the back becomes really hot with mod kernel and usb cabled to tv,in the meantime i have reflashed the original kernel and wait because i didn't want to risk some sort of damage to my device...
well it only shows when i power down tho
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
well i changed it to 30 games per folder and i had it on 100 games per folder. Used to work fine for like 20 times powering up but saw people saying it was a cache error so changed it to 30 and now the error is gone using rc5
there is something whicht bothered me a bit.
its the different size of the package pictures that is different with all add games.
and that the original earthbound has a different size then the other original games.
72 games with 2 folder and no c8 error when is shut down

well i didn't have that problem 2 for like 20 boots but after that i got that problem means it has to do with the cache and causing that so you'll get it eventually as did i
You're right. EarthBound's cover art is noticeably bigger than the other games. You can fix the size of added game's box art though by opening them in an image editor and setting the size to that of the original games.
please read i said 72 games with 2 folders!
i had that c8 problem when i have 61 and more games without a folder.
Earthbound is different because it was released in a different box. The strategy guide was included with the game.

@Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer". -
