Mini NES Classic

[chickenbone]

Anyone get there hands on one of these bad boys? I found one at a walmart a few weeks back. Only one on the shelf and the clerk said he didn't know how it got there lol.

I bought it up....took it home....and promptly hacked that sumbitch.

Got about 100+ NES games on it. 15 Game Boy Advance titles. 75 or so SNES games and 20+ Genesis. It can actually run original PS1 games too. Only about 300MB of memory on it though so I don't recommend it. Amazing retro boners galore!

Nope. Haven't seen one in stores. Only seen guides for them and one controller.

I was going to buy one the other day when it went live on Amazon again, but quickly realized that I hadn't added my gift card (which was at home at the time) to my account. It would've covered the whole cost. Oh well. I'll wait for the inevitable next wave to come through.

Is it Raspberry Pi that you have installed on it OP? I will most likely do the same but might limit it to just NES games (and maybe Sega Master System).

I'll buy one as soon as I see one for sale at the MSRP.

Nah it's a specific program called hakchi that runs retro pie. It's been made so well that the nes classic can actually run ps1 games and n64 games as well. It's nuts. The raspberry pi is actually way better though with the new software out. It can run ps2 games in hd. For 60 bucks though my Lil nes has over 300 nes games and 90 snes games and it's beautiful.

Setting up an emulator would have been easier, and cheaper.

Of course, but there's no real fun in that.

I beg to differ, I'm having loads of fun emulating my old games

Loading up an emulator on a pc is child's play. Getting software to run on things it wasn't meant to run on is a hobby. Your games are fun emulated on a pc but hacking a raspberry pi and fiddling with different settings is half the fun. If you've never done it then it would be hard to understand.

I've gotten a Mac to run a windows OS. I understand the fun of getting things to run software its not meant to. Though the emulators I'm using sound similar to what you're describing. As far as different system settings are concerned. They support custom shaders, all of which are open source, so the options are essentially limitless. I made Crash Bandcioot look like Borderlands. It was hideous, but hey I did it. 

That being said, no I haven't messed with a rasberry pi before.
