SNES Classic Edition Has Already Been Hacked

The SNES Classic Edition hit retail only last week, but the hacking community has already managed to crack its firmware open.

The miniature system has now been hacked to allow users to load on their own library of games. Since the system only comes with a limited amount of games, so this is good news to a lot of folks who may have wanted to play certain titles that didn’t make the cut with the standard loadout.

It’s not too surprising that the SNES Mini has been hacked so quickly, since it uses the same internal components as last year’s NES Classic Edition, which was also hacked relatively quickly.

Keep in mind that downloading games that you do not own an original copy of does fall into the realm of piracy, even though they’re old games.

wer do u buy these?

Tough to find at the moment, selling like hot cakes! Have been trying myself since launch day.... If you can't find one @ retail price you could probably buy a used snes and and clone everdrive for some ebay prices, that way you could have every SNES & Super famicom game, not just the 21 on the Mini :) Standard SNES outputs RGB video so should look ok on a modern display, but if you still have a CRT it will look even better!
If you want the mini, tho many sites are doing "stock checkers" for when new stock arrives, but you might have to be a bit lucky for now at least!

At least I can try and fail to relieve the old days.
