The NES Classic Edition has proven to be a major success for Nintendo, with the console sold out at retailers worldwide and selling 1.5 million units at last count. The console's popularity can be attributed not only to the 30 classic NES games built into it, but also to hacks that have allowed owners to greatly expand its library. Now hackers have expanded the NES Classic Edition library yet again, making it possible to play games from numerous systems on the device.
How to Hack a NES Classic Edition
According to a report by Nintendo Life, hackers have made it possible to install RetroArch software on the NES Classic Edition. With RetroArch installed, it's possible for NES Classic Edition owners to play Sega Genesis games, in addition to titles from the Game Boy and Super Nintendo. The RetroArch hack essentially turns the NES Classic Edition into a retro gaming juggernaut, but since it relies on ROMs, its legality is questionable at best.
Even though hacking the NES Classic Edition to play ROMs of retro games may be illegal, it's likely that many owners of the system will make the effort to modify their console to do just that. Widespread piracy could end up being a fairly big problem for the NES Classic Edition if hacks like these continue to be popular, and could influence whether or not Nintendo decides to re-release some of its other older home video game consoles.
Then again, the fact that it's possible to hack the NES Classic Edition to play games from other system libraries, like the Sega Genesis, in addition to other NES games, could be a major selling point for some consumers. It could even be part of the reason why the NES Classic Edition is selling six times as fast as the Wii U.
On the other hand, the ease at which people have been hacking the NES Classic Edition and adding more games to its library could be detrimental to Nintendo's other business ventures. For example, Nintendo is expected to bring its Virtual Console service to the Nintendo Switch, but if gamers already have free access to classic Nintendo games on the NES Classic Edition, they may not be tempted to pay for them on the new system.
Moving forward, it will be interesting to see if Nintendo takes any steps to combat piracy and other hacks that have been released for the system, like the home button hack. While hacking may be an issue it addresses in the future, it seems like Nintendo is just trying to enjoy the NES Classic Edition's incredible success for now, and ship as many units to retailers as possible.
The NES Classic Edition comes with 30 playable games, but it lacks the ability to download or otherwise add games to it. That is, there is no official means for doing so. A hacker has now seemingly made it possible to introduce new games to the standalone system.
Since hackers found a way to rewrite the memory in the diminutive console about a month ago, an adventurous set of retro gaming fans have been testing its limits. First by adding a few games, then hundreds and now by adding whole other consoles to the mix.
But what was originally a hacked-together app that you needed a walk-through to operate has become far more user-friendly and now even supports mods. The first, Cluster announced on GitHub, is RetroArch, a multi-console emulator ported to the system by another dev working on the project, MadMonkey.
The hack apparently doesn't even require a screwdriver. According to a guide by Russian modder madmonkey (via Ars Technica), all you need is a Micro-USB cable, a PC, a high tolerance for the possibility of malware and a willful disregard for the law -- because transferring your games this way isn't legal, even if you own the original cartridges. (Open-source games designed for the NES may be a different story.)
That said, the hack is proof that Nintendo's NES Classic Edition/Mini is more capable than we originally thought. Don't be surprised if the company releases followup versions with different game libraries at some point in the future.
As expected, the SNES Classic Edition has been hacked to allow users to load more games on the miniature console, effectively turning it into the ultimate SNES machine. By utilizing a Windows utility called hakchi2, users can quickly backup the SNES Classic Edition kernel, and replace it with a modified kernel that can be customized with different games, backgrounds, and box art. Have a look at our hands-on walkthrough inside to see how easy it is to supercharge your SNES Classic Edition.
All the Atari flashback games except the second one run in an emulator on a NOAC. The Flashback 2 had a custom chip duplicating the original 2600 electronics, with all the pins brought out for the cartridge connector so it could be hacked to use original cartridges.

The process requires a PC and, as you can see from the video guide, is quite time consuming. It also goes without saying that deploying such a hack has its risks, and should the process go wrong, it's unlikely that Nintendo will be too sympathetic should you try and arrange a repair under warranty. Finally, there's the obvious caveat that using ROMs is legally questionable.
No.Not interested at all.If I want to play NES games, I will use Original NES machine.That temptation of playing illegally will not working for me. I don't want to play modded / hacked / pirated / illegal games anymore.
I got one and I was able to put over 700 NES games on there. Cool thing is that the hack also allow you to add box art as well as patch some of the games so you can play English edition of some of them. The hack also allow you to set shortcut which allows you to return to the main menu at anytime without ever touching the reset button. Even better you can play Famicom and Famicom Disk System roms on it with no prob as well.
@UK-Nintendo Quite easy, just download the hack file. Then unzip it, load it up with roms, add box art, then connect the miniUSB cable from your NES Classic Mini to your PC. Synchronize the process and it will give you on screen instruction on how to make the transfer. As long as you follow the transfer directions very closely, you won't have no problem. My gripe was that some games such as Batman: The Return of Joker, Rad Racer II, and Kid Dracula doesn't work due to non-support mappers or was just plain glitchy from the NES Mini.
If i ever come across a NES Classic at its real retail price, I'd probably pick it up and give this a go. I only had two issues with the NES mini and they've both been adequately addressed to appease me: no eshop for more games, no big deal we can now put the entire NES library on the NES Classic. Very short cords for the controllers, no big deal, there are extension cords and fantastic bluetooth controller options. I'd have to imagine that should they do a SNES mini though, they'd close the possibility for these kinds of hack jobs.
Come on, hackers, develop a Mac option.Still have all my oldies on original carts, but I'd love to add Contra, Tetris, Double Dragon, Mega Man 1 & 3, and Maniac Mansion to this wonderful little device.
If this gives Nintendo the kick in the pants to put effort into releasing more older games than so be it. Mother 3, for example, has been held over our heads for the past several years and you know what, I played it last year FOR FREE. I got tired of waiting and if Nintendo is going to showcase so little regard for customers wanting to play its classic titles idc how many people pirate games.
@Anti-Matter had to do it! Tired of waiting on Nintendo to pick up the slack with vc games but I'm sure even though I have these units now I will be making vc purchases on the Switch once they get rolling with it. After all the Switch will have the portable aspect with these classics. You must realize as well that hundreds and hundreds of perfect original ARCADE CLASSICS on this Xbox modded console will NEVER EVER appear on a home console due to licensing issues OR the company that made a particular game is long gone out of business! As an owner of more than 7,000 games in my collection going back to the Atari 2600, I've spent a ton of money on this industry so no guilt here. This was driven through my endless passion and love for video games.
Is it so wrong to download if the media is no longer officially available? If the money you pay goes to the big bucks guys instead of the people who actually made the media? If you already own the media, or at some point did? And why do they make old games so freaking expensive? In Australia, NES classic costs $100. For a mere 30 old games. "Legally grey" my butt. The law is sovereign, but it's still a construct that changes and adapts. It handles the ROM situation miserably. 2ff7e9595c
