Snes Classic W/ USB Adapter

[godreborn]

does this actually work? using an otg adapter and thumb drive, it sometimes works, but every now and then, it's like it's not getting enough power. there's not enough space on the internal flash for the entire no intro set, so what can I do?

You can do two things.
You can buy a better powersuply or you can select the roms you really want to play and put those on the internal memory.

thanks. do you have a recommendation about power supplies? I think the thumb drive is what's taxing it.

for some reason, now I get error ce-7 with games using snes9x 2010. using default canoe, no issues using adapter or original cable. it's almost as if snes9x 2010 is corrupted, but I've uninstalled/installed multiple times.

nm, I figured out the ce-7 error. the main retroarch core wasn't installed. how does anyone power the system and the usb thumb drive at the same time? I'm not even sure if the snes classic cable and adapter have enough power to do that.

Can't say for sure as I don't own one of these, but different drive probably pull different amounts of power. Some drives are known to work for sure. You might just have a higher power one.

this is what I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FYNSZA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and, the adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013ENUF0Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

the cable was 10ft, but I'm not even sure if the official cable, which is around 6ft, is good enough for the adapter and thumb drive. the ac adapter is stock as well.

If you have a laptop or pc, you could give it a try with your USB 3.0 port. The usb 3.0 give more power than the standard power brick.
