Hurray! Glad you were able to get one!

After thoroughly enjoying my hacked SNES Classic, I fully intend to try to pick up an NES version this summer. They're fun little game-nuggets.

What does it look like when you have it nodded? Do you still go through the same menu selection.

Same menu and options and everything, yes. The mod tool has options that allow you to change how the pagination/folders work a bit. This is helpful if you want to put like 100 games on there and don't want to have to cycle through them all. I left the menu setup the normal way because I don't mind cycling through ~40-odd games. When you're uploading the ROMs you can also select cover art for them (or let the mod tool Google covers for you) so you can get them looking pretty standardized.

Yep, the system literally thinks the ROMs you add are normal games like the ones included, so all the same functionality works.

It makes sense when you think about it. The SNES Classic is essentially a little plastic box running a custom emulator. The only thing is some ROMs don't work on it. And this seems rare to me—I only found a couple that I couldn't add. Bear in mind I was only trying to add games I had in my own collection anyway, so if you're trying to dump a bunch of crazy Japan-only ROMs on there some of them might not work. ActRaiser was one notable example that I had to cut loose. I think Lost Vikings was another one.

That's nuts! Do you happen to have the link or whatever for what you used to mod It?
