![]() ![]() That is what we're going to do as an example. ![]() These 'cores' can be thought of as individual emulators, which when added to Retroarch allow you to run a multitude of different systems INCLUDING a better SNES emulator than Canoe. Next to that, you should see the KMFD Cores tab. It will download, and install Retroarch for you, and then reboot our SNES Mini automatically. For now, click the Retroarch tab! Presently, it is Version 177 Extreme.Ĭlick 'Download and Install Module'. You can customize the backgrounds, UI, add cheats, download helpful tools, and even install some compatible freeware games (Quake, Doom, etc). This tool, made by KMFDManic, allows you to add - a lot - more than emulators as you can see. Up at the top of Hackchi, with your Mini turned on and plugged into your USB, go to Modules -> KMFD's Mod Hub. With it, you can install the all-in-one emulation framework Retroarch! This is where HackChi's mod feature comes in handy. And Canoe only runs SNES games, so if you want to run other systems on your Mini you are SOL. There is no guarantee that any ROM you add to the Mini will run correctly in Canoe, if at all (compatability list: ). And that's about all it runs pretty well. By default, the Mini runs an emulator called 'Canoe' which runs the stock games that come with the Mini pretty well. You could just add some games straight away and go, but let me tell you why that isn't a good idea. ![]() right after I have coffee and charge this computer. Unfortunately, it's still stock! I'm going to cover now the advanced features, including customizing your Mini using Hackchi2. Congratulations, your Mini is hacked (Hackchi'd!)! Hackchi2 will automatically detect your SNES Mini as well and will say ONLINE (or SSH) in the bottom left and accurately reflect the game loadout and internal memory of your Mini. Hackchi will then automatically begin uploading the kernel and rebooting your SNES Mini if you followed the directions correctly.Īfter a few minutes, it will be DONE and you should get a congratulatory message and your SNES Mini will be ON. Give it all the OK and eventually you will see:įollow these instructions to the letter (if your SNES Mini is not OFF, turn it off now). A black console window should pop up, saying something about installing drivers, after that Windows may ask your approval to install. Go to Kernel -> Install / Repair and give it the OK. In order for Hackchi2CE to properly detect your SNES Mini, that is exactly what we have to do - install that kernel SO 120.0 KB / ? will usually reflect accurately the space in your SNES Mini that is USED vs FREE when an SNES Mini is plugged into your USB and Hackchi2 CE detects it.Īnd this is what you will see with your SNES (or NES) Mini plugged into the USB and turned on when the Hackchi kernel is properly installed (later): At the bottom, it says OFFLINE which means my SNES Mini is not detected at the present moment.Ģ. When you start Hackchi from your start menu for the first time, you will see this:ġ. You want Release, not Debug, whether you want a portable install or not is up to you but I will not be covering it because most people will just want the standard.Ĭlick Next, Install and when it's done -> close. When you boot up that installer, you will see: Nothing else because the wonder that is Hackchi2 CE can download anything else you need for you! ROM images (I will not be providing or telling you where to obtain these sorry) SNES Mini USB Cable x1 (it is part of your power supply) Hackchi at one point in time was solely for the NES Mini, but it has been updated for the SNES while now. I personally use release, but this guide will go through the steps for Installer instead. Release is OK too if you're not a complete newbie, I guess. You need to first get the latest, which as of this writing is version: 3.5.3 - and get the installer for your ease of use. Okay, well, someone ask about hacking the SNES Mini around here and apparently there was no guide (honestly, Hackchi2 is so easy to use you almost don't need one) so I'm making one.įirst off, thank ClusterM and TeamShinkansen ( because they made the tool we are going to use ( ).Īlso, has a (now 2 year old) thread with an FAQ in it that is still very useful, I will NOT be repeating any still working information from his FAQ so if you have a question,, check the author's thread FIRST. ![]()
