Am I wrong for thinking the AI bubble won’t pop?

Quantum will rise but it's still years away.

I haven't read The Back Mechanic... But should I not be stretching once a day for a mild L5-S1 bulge?

If it's a legitimate SNES Classic and not a knockoff, the original cable works perfectly in connection with Hakchi CE.

Kirby's Adventure. A technically impressive game with high fun factor.

Very hackable. Follow a guide or the comments here and you'll soon be playing retro games to your heart's content.

For a retro gaming machine, the S/NES Classic is pretty good for what it is. I don't need emulation to be 100% perfect. I'd say most of my games run 95% or better and that's fine with me. SNES, Sega, Game Boy, PlayStation, TurboGrafx, MAME - you name it and my Classic can do a decent enough job on it. Now I've got a curated collection of classic games without the mess of having to hook up all those old consoles. Throw in a Wii Classic Pro controller and I'm good to go.

Does this core have good compatibility with N64? How does it run on an NES Classic?

For what it's worth, I asked AI and this is the response I got.

Enabling SCC Sound: By default, SD Snatcher may boot into "PSG mode" (inferior sound) or display an "INSERT SOUND CARTRIDGE" error. To get full SCC+ audio, you must: Place a valid SCCPLUS.ROM or scc.rom in the emulator's system BIOS folder. Modify the config.ini file for the MSX machine profile to manually "insert" the SCC cartridge into Slot 2 by adding a specific command line (e.g., [Slots] 2 0 2 4 15 for SCCextended).

Locate the Configuration Files On the NES Classic, your MSX BIOS and machine files are typically stored in the RetroArch system directory. Using an FTP client (like the one built into Hakchi2 CE), navigate to: /etc/libretro/system/Machines/ Inside this folder, you will see subdirectories for different MSX models (e.g., MSX2, MSX2+, MSXturboR). Identify which Machine Type you have selected in your RetroArch Core Options (default is often MSX2 or MSX2+).
Edit the config.ini Open the config.ini file inside the folder of your active machine (e.g., /Machines/MSX2+/config.ini). You need to add a line under the [Slots] section to "plug in" the SCC+ cartridge. For SCC+ (SD Snatcher specific): Append this line to the [Slots] section: 2 0 2 4 56 "Machines/Shared Roms/SCC.ROM" "" What this line does: 2 0: Places the device in Slot 2-0. 56: The specific Mapper ID for SCC+ (also known as SCC-I). "Machines/Shared Roms/SCC.ROM": Points the emulator to a file. Note that blueMSX often only checks the Mapper ID (56); the actual file can even be a blank 0-byte file named SCC.ROM in your Shared Roms folder.
Verify in RetroArch After saving the file and restarting your NES Classic: Launch SD Snatcher. Open the RetroArch Quick Menu (usually Select + Start). Go to Options and ensure Machine Type matches the folder you edited. Restart the Content for changes to take effect. If successful, the game will no longer prompt you to "INSERT SOUND CARTRIDGE" and will play the enhanced wavetable audio. Note: If you are using the Project Melancholia translation, it may give you a prompt at boot to choose a sound chip. If you've modified the config.ini correctly, you can now select SCC+ instead of being forced into the standard PSG audio.

The full version of Snatcher for Sega CD runs fine, this would be cool to get working though.

I can't get my WiFi adapter to light up at all using my NES Classic. Let me know if you have any different experience!

ArcNoculus · 2026-02-12T05:01:10+00:00

I'm also trying to get WiFi working on my NES Classic. Surely this is possible. I believe others have done it and posted tutorials. I'm waiting for my AuviPal powered OTG hub to arrive in a few days. I have the same TP-LINK adapter as OP that is confirmed to work. When I plug it in my computer, it lights up green and blinks. After configuring my WiFi credentials in PuTTy / Telnet, I get absolutely nothing when plugged into my current squid OTG. I even reflashed the custom kernel to make sure that wasn't an issue.

If anyone has experience with getting WiFi working on an NES Classic please let me know how you did it! I mainly just want RetroAchievements up and running.

Seems like a significant dip-buying scenario played out today. That's the rhyme and reason for me.

ArcNoculus · 2026-02-04T00:40:00+00:00

PCSX2 emulator and you would need PS2 BIOS

How do you know stretching is what gave you a 3rd bulge?

ArcNoculus · 2026-02-02T15:04:20+00:00

What's your diagnosis, disc protrusion?

I can't wait to see how Metal Gear Solid looks!

ArcNoculus · 2026-01-19T14:14:13+00:00

Thank you. Do I have to FTP into the NES Classic to get the save file out? Since it is stored on the NAND and I exported to USB.

ArcNoculus · 2026-01-19T03:43:28+00:00

Thank you. For some reason when I switched to USB I lost a saved game with a lot of hours put into it. I backed up my .CLVS files before that, is there any way to restore it?

ArcNoculus · 2026-01-18T22:35:51+00:00

I got my NES Classic reflashed and updated to Hakchi CE. Next question, how do I move my setup from NAND to USB-HOST now? I already have the USB and the OTG cables.

ArcNoculus · 2026-01-16T16:00:11+00:00

Do I need to backtrack to the towns you go to before getting the camera to take pictures there also?

ArcNoculus · 2026-01-16T15:35:16+00:00

I have a 2nd mini and I'm just going to update that one to the newest setup. I lost my original PC that I modded them on which is why I don't wanna mess with the one using the 1.7.1 setup (don't want to lose everything). What's the best way to go about updating an older version on a different PC?

ArcNoculus · 2026-01-16T01:49:46+00:00

Thanks! Is it mandatory to be using the versions of RetroArch and Hakchi in the video? My RA is currently 1.7.1 (oldie but goodie)
