Now that the NES Classic has been hacked, what ROMS do you want to put on it?

And of course the image can be accessed and manipulated by the MicroUSB charging port. As if nobody saw that.

Adding more games works and the interface accepts it, but it seems that only 60 games have been tested so far and there hasn't been any checks for long term save issues.

But aside from that, what games do YOU want to put on it?

Instructions: http://pastebin.com/af2RxZ6z

1. Go here http://linux-sunxi.org/FEL/USBBoot#Using_sunxi-fel_on_Windows and install driver with zadig.
Fel mode is activated by holding down reset while switching on power button - http://linux-sunxi.org/FEL
2. Grab tool here https://github.com/madmonkey1907/hakchi/releases
Dump uboot and kernel from your nes. uboot should have md5 b13b538f6b7c86623ceea69c456d4eb5, if it's not, it might be unsafe to continue. 8ce1857653874e8f0cd3fe68abe1bb4a and 9b8046b47c947d9fa322976c038003e0 also confirmed to work.
3. Prepare roms - with nesmini shell, rom is a directory, not a file. Template+tool here https://www.dropbox.com/s/3t3wrkhw26shro0/nesromtool.zip?dl=0
tl;dr you need a rom, image, and optional *.desktop file. it's a text file you can edit.
4. Place rom dirs in
mod/hakchi/transfer/rootfs/usr/share/games/nes/kachikachi/
nesromtool will do this for you if you unpack it in nesromtool subdir of hakci-gui tree
5. unpack kernel / repack kernel
6. Do a memboot, nes will shutdown, switch it to fel mode again.
7. Flash kernel <- do this ONLY ONCE. there is no need to ever do it again. until custom kernels appear that is.
If there is a save in first slot of Super Mario Bros. it will load mod, otherwise it will load stock shell.
You also get getty on uart interface, but there isn't much use in it if you don't have uart soldered.

i would love it put Super Mario Bros 2: The lost nevels
All Megaman games *o*
some bootlegs games, like Kart Fighter (lol)
also, can run Famicom games?

 

[ItsKipz]

Can it run smb3mix?

 

[Alex4U]

Can it run smb3mix?

Yes until is a NES rom
Hacks roms loads too, NES Mini is just a NES emulator.

Wow, nice, too bad is still 720P right? I'll stick to my shield tv or psvita tv with 1080P and more options including cheats and other tools, Turbo buttons, and fast forward.

Honestly i'm impressed cause i didn't think it be so soon. or even possible. I wonder why that wii mini wasn't hacked at all but this was.

I hope it has proper special chip support like mmc5 and VRC7 and what not cause if it can't then is just sad. No Rockman 4 minus infnity. No Castlevania 3 with enhanced music. No Final fantasy 7 nes or Zelda legend of link rom hacks for roms of 2MB. Wonder if FDS games are possible soon.

 

[Futurdreamz]

I'm going to guess that Famicom games may be hit or miss, especially if they require a microphone. Otherwise I'm pretty sure that 90% (if not all) NES games will work, with the concern of them using hardware aberrations the emulator doesn't account for. But it's a full ROM replacement so we might be able to load a better emulator on it.

I think we're going to have to make a list of what roms are verified to work. But to do that, I actually need to have one in my hands to play with

However, there's like 80 posted on Kijiji (half the ads were posted in November) so i made an offer of a couple Christmas gift cards and i just need to see if anyone caves and accepts my offer.

Hackers do what Nintendont.

I'm too lazy to read everything right now, but can you edit the game selection menu with custom covers and stuff?

Seems you can add jpg images for cover art for the roms, if that's what you're asking. Right now they're still picking it apart, and all the cool kids don't have their hands on one - and if they do, they are being very careful not to brick it.

 

[Jack Daniels]

to my understanding its just functioning like raspberry pi zero with custom os? nice, it's only about 60 euro more then a raspberry pi in nes like case... but theGUI is done nice i'd gotta say...

Alright, I clicked the source link and my question was immediately answered. I suggest you take this picture and post it in the OP. It's not too much work and lazy people will thank you.

Realistically I doubt most of these games will run without some further system modification, but I'd instantly swap the standard 30 games with these in a flash.

Got some bad news about Recca. The anti seizure protection they put in ruins that. Ninja Gaiden 2 stage 3 also.

There might be a way to disable, the guy doing the hacks mentioned lots of hidden options in the emu while digging into it some, so maybe in time.
