Topping Up My SNES Classic... Suggestions?

[Octopus Prime]

There is evidentially more room to jam games into this thing than I thought…

I'm still on an old version of Hackchi. Maybe I'll update, did they add anything obnoxious like splash screens that make it obviously not stock? Both the PS Classic and the Genesis Mini I have now have them and I hate anything like that

I saw one on mine. I think it can be turned off, but I haven't tried to do that yet.

EDIT: It can be removed, using these instructions.

Oh, nice. I think I'll be disabling that the next time I make some changes.

And yeah, more room than you'd think on there. I'm pretty sure I've still got somewhere around 100 MB still free. The ROMs compress pretty well (they're using 7-Zip). The save states are often more than the ROM itself! You can adjust the length of the rewind, though, if you find them unbearably large.

If you somehow don't find it to have enough room, you can also use a split OTG cable and add a flash drive into the mix.

I'd leave some extra space on there, anyway - save states will chew through your storage pretty fast, even with the save compression mod (or the later versions of Hakchi 2 CE, which have it included). When I've completely finished up a game, I delete all save states except for one, assuming it's one I want to keep. I do usually like to keep those endgame save states around.

I meant to say earlier, thanks for this tip. While I'm sure I'll think of a few stragglers to add at some point down the road, I'm by and large done adding games and I suspect I should still have plenty of space left for save states. Even so, I went through last night and deleted a bunch that I don't need.

I LIED AND YOU WERE ALL FOOLS TO BELIEVE ME

Shortly after this post I got a new computer, and the one thing I forgot to copy over before giving the old one to my mom was my Hakchi profile. This led me to believe that in order to make any additions, deletions or alterations to my SNES Classic I would have to start from scratch, potentially losing all my saves in the process. Not true! Hakchi has an option called "Import games from mini" that recreated my profile on the new PC in seconds. Convenient! So I added the following to my already sizable list:

Spoiler

Assault Suits Valken (fan translation, replaced Cybernator)
Breath of Fire II (fan translation, replaced official US release)
Final Fight 3
Front Mission
Front Mission: Gun Hazard
Harvest Moon
Killer Instinct
King of Dragons
Kirby's Avalanche
Knights of the Round
Mega Man Soccer
Mortal Kombat II
Mystery Dungeon 2: Shiren the Wanderer (recently watched Arino suffer through this on Game Center CX and thought it looked fun)
Pocky and Rocky
Pocky and Rocky 2
Seiken Densetsu 3 (I have this on Collection of Mana for Switch, but it's such an iconic Super Famicom title that it felt wrong not to include it)
Shodai Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun (basically River City Ransom 2)
Super Double Dragon
Ultima: The False Prophet

I also deleted Tetris & Dr. Mario, as it's pretty bare-bones and I have better options to play both of those games elsewhere. These changes bring the total number of games on my SNES Classic to 108, which is also the number of earthly temptations according to Buddhist belief. Hmm, yes. Appropriate.

Aw, poop, now I want to fire mine up again. Sorry, PS4, someone's got to give up their HDMI cable for the moment, and it's too damn hard to take it out of the Switch deck.

I'm not seeing anyone shouting Umehara Kawase from the rafters... granted I was also missing a couple pages of the thread, but still!

Gun Hazard is a fantastic add. I believe the Japanese version of Super Double Dragon (Return of Double Dragon) is considered slightly superior? Probably not enough to worry about too much, but they did polish a bit more after it released here.
