Any one tried any soft mod hacks on the above?  I understand it is pretty easy but still squeemish about doing it.

I did a soft mod for the SNES Mini for a friend of mine. It's extremely easy, and nothing to be worried about. Just keep it simple. The Hakchi mod is damn near idiot proof. The only real complications come if you try to add an external hard drive or try to add additional emulators. If you want to do something like that, using a raspberry pi would be much easier. But if all you want to do is just add another hundred games to the mini, then you shouldn't have any problems.

I recently used Hakchi to mod my SNES mini. I added Super Mario Allstars and Stunt Race FX. It works well.  I recommend looking up a video tutorial on YT, though. It's easy but some of the steps and options are a little confusing.

Thanks gents. Using your adive I used hakchi to add my legitimate librabry to the NES.

Still having trouble getting the SNES to work though, which is where I really want to go to town.

Spe nt a few more hours on it last night (cough medicine and beer infused fever) and still cannot get the bloody SNES one to work. Even tried an old Win7 Laptop to start over... Sad

When I do get it to work shoudl be glorious, SNES is in my top 5 systems of all time, was my #1 for many years.

Yeah, I never would have hacked mine if that option wasn't available.
