I dont notice anything but I havent ran any tests, I also use my Switch Pro controller too and dont notice anything
Had some resource files sitting on my desktop for a while so I decided to finally take a crack as a Ganpuru cover.
Found a handy Japanese blog that has scans of various Super Famicom covers and manuals in good quality.

And since it was an easy quick cover to do, here's Sparkster:

2 more alternate covers from myself!
First up, the generic fighter pilot cover of U.N. Squadron annoyed me immensely as a teenager way back on its initial release. So I'm living up to my old fanboy dreams and adapted the SFC cover for the US box. I also used the U.N. Squadron title screen logo to better match the original "Area 88" Japanese styled logo.
Second, I redid my alternate Tiny Toon Adventures: Wacky Sports Challenge cover. I was never quite happy with my first attempt but upon finding higher quality art assets I gave it another go... I think it's much more balanced and finds closer ground to the PAL and SFC covers (busy as it maybe).
Get them from my gallery post if you are interested!

4) From now on, simply use the Add Games button, pick your SNES ROM, fill out the details, assign some box art..
I am new to all of this so need some help. When I click the add games button will the games just pop up to be added or do I need to find them online myself?
Has anyone bricked their super nes mini doing this?

You have to find them yourself.
It's not possible to brick it unless you literally drop a brick.
Does anyone know the dimensions that the Super Famicom Mini uses for its thumbnail and fullsize box arts?
User has been warned for: asking for ROMs
How do I find the super nes roms or where is a good site to d/l them from?
Really, didn't know that. Sorry. Just trying to figure out how to do this and best place to d/l these roms. I am ignorant about hacking consoles etc.
I do have a question I hope people can answer though. Can the roms you upload to the SNES classic be compressed/zip or do they need to be unzipped?

Using your own cartridge dumps is advised as its legal but providing links to roms is aiding in piracy and technically a crime. Its a surefire way to get this thread closed or your account banned too so be careful. Roms aren't a difficult thing to find on your own but no one is gonna help you in that regard buddy. Also, Hakchi compressed automatically but the files can be zipped to save on space. Make sure to install retroarch also as per the first post's recommendation for problematic games ;)
I take it I would have to abandon my original 21 games folder and add them to the individual add-on list to get all the games to show in one fell swoop instead of the add-on games popping up in a separate folder? I want the seamlessness, not a folder! Is there some other way? Didn't add too many, so space shouldn't be a problem.
Just disable folder in hakchi. It's one of the settings. Then the original 21 will appear alongside others you've added.
Ok, thanks. Hopefully I can figure that out.
Looking over my work, it seems I messed up(I knew I would). My dump copy says the disc image file is corrupted, won't open(says it's corrupted). I think I flashed kernel, after dumping of course, before copying it...if that would make a difference to corrupt it? If it's in a dump folder already, how would that mess it up??? Am I seriously screwed? Ahhh!
You can have the additional games show up alongside the original 21 games. However, you can't have more than 30 games or else the thumbnails on the bottom will go offscreen. If you don't care about that, then you can have up to 60 games per page/folder, however it is recommended you only have fewer than 40 per page/folder or you risk getting errors and crashes..
A quick recap of how to do so would be nice. I remember seeing a post at the old place that flipped them sideways so there was more room which was a nice touch.
Once you add a game and its cover art, hakchi will auto generate a thumbnail.
Navigate the games folder in the hakchi directory and for each game's folder you'll find the cover art image and the small thumbnail image. Basically replace the thumbnail file with whatever image you like. That's how some people have sprites as their thumbails rather than small boxart.
As for generating thumbnails, if your image manipulation application of choice has script/action support you can set up a batch action to go through a folder of images and shrink them and/or rotate them in one go.
Unfortunately, it takes a little while since hackchi generates a unique code for each game you add so there's no shortcut for giving your thumbnails the same name as the old thumbnail files. However, if you just want to rotate, you could copy the original thumbnails to a new location, run a script to rotate them and save with the same name and then copy them back to their original location choosing to replace the original, which saves needing to delete one file and then renaming another.
Looks way more colorful. Thank you!
edit. Patched em in. Time looked about the same. World did look a lot more colorful. Thanks again.

Hey everyone,
I have a Mac and no real access to a PC (I only have one at work). What's the best way of getting Hakchi running on a OSX?

I was literally just going to ask this (the search function didn't work so I apologize if this has been answered!)
Quick google, maybe someone has a more specific answer

Thanks for the help and giving me the warning, honestly didn't know that. .Yeah, my ignorance in this area is astounding apparently. So I guess games do not have to be unzipped and can be compressed/zip. when uploading. I hope no one has had any issues with their SNES classic after doing this.
That guy is overreacting. Just do some googling and you'll find your games. You can leave them zipped or unzipped when you load them into hakchi. Hakchi does its own internal processing when setting up the folder structure and filetype for the SNES Classic itself.
Hakchi does 80% of the work. Do your part and meet it 20% there.

The Google Doc for Compatibility with Canoe (SNES's internal emulator) is pretty up to date. I've been making changes and updates based on my personal experience for every game I've tried. TBH most games do not need RetroArch, at least the ones you probably want to play.

Saying he can be banned for asking for roms is not overreacting. He could very well be banned for asking that question, and claiming ignorance will not save him. He should even edit the post where he asks for roms because it a mod sees it later, he could be admonished.
This may well have been posted previously in this thread somewhere but I've not noticed it so I'm going to posy it here anyway. This is a hardware "hack" top incorporate the wireless dongles that some are using inside the console case.
I'm really not a fan of the plastic flaps used on the SNES version and do prefer the way it was handled on the NES version.
It's not my video so don't shout at me if it all goes horribly wrong for you.

I thank everyone for their advice and the warning. I made a mistake and didn't know about that. But ignorance is no excuse and I do apologize.
This was literally answered on this page this morning:
So to celebrate the recent English patch, I've put together a PAL box art design for Sutte Hakkun. Logo is based on the one from the patch.
Rather chuffed with how it came out considering the lack of art resources out there.
EDIT: Made a minor tweak.

Bought an SNES30 from 8bitdo before they start disappearing from lack of production, controller feels great. Super simple to update too.
Gonna grab the new version with the analog sticks in Dec too. Hopefully PS1 emulation via usb is more concise by then (Xenogears please!)
