SNES Classic sold out everywhere, even until the pre-order part was overwhelmed. This successful mini console turned out to have weaknesses until hackers-even hacked the system.

Mini variant of SNES is very targeted and favored, as well as the first NES Classic Nintendo release. The shape is very similar to the original version brought back fans in the 90s, where all-pixelated graphics are very popular. Unlike the 8-bit NES, SNES is armed with a 16-bit view that is more indulgent to the eye.
With the price of $ 80, this mini console brings the sensation of gaming seemed to be in the 90s, but with features 2017. Mini form and a very classic gamepad combined with hdmi plugs, so players can install this console on a modern TV.

Although the SNES Classic is very popular, this console has one disadvantage. If you expect a huge collection of games then you should be sorry that Nintendo only put 21 games on this console without any option to add games. Starting from the same problem as NES Classic, the hackers were back in action.
Its Called hakchi2, this tool provides an option to add SNES games. The system for adding games that originated from NES Classic was based on a similar scheme found on both mini consoles. At this moment, progress from hakchi2 is very fast, thanks to the same system on SNES and NES Classic.

In fact, Cluster as the developer behind this tool says that hakchi2 is almost ready to enter the experimental stage. Not only that, other modders have also made their own version hakchi2, but very highly recommended for the owner of SNES mini to be more patient if you want a more reliable version.

But of course, modding like this, whether using the official or not, is very dangerous considering the user could have permanently damaged the system, or more famously called brick. For owners who still want to do modding, be expected to be very careful.
