It’s possible to use external storage now via the micro usb power port using a OTG cable.

How would you then power it?

Yes, there are threads in the “miniSNESmods” sub on Reddit seems easy to do once you get the bespoke cable.

Nice! Just need the mini multitap to get fleshed out and for bugs on both to be ironed out. Add a bunch of wireless snes pads and job done - uber retro console

honestly i don't see the point - if you want to play other systems buy a pi3.

It's much easier and quicker with the snes mini. I prefer the look too.

Has anyone seen these for sale, struggling to find any that aren’t valued higher than 79.99.

DIABLO · 24 Nov 2017 at 10:22

Game gets some in stock sometimes so does Argos. Game usually sells what they get before it can be reserved online and Argos won’t let you see the stock level or reserve online so you have to physically hunt around.

Thanks, hopeful that I can find another one.

Cheers just ordered one from Nintendo store.

Well I 'loaded' mine up this weekend. Spent ages sorting out all the cover art to be uniform across the board.

That's what I love about the SNES switch it on and it is smooth as silk. My daughter needs a lot more practice though as SNES games are a real step up from what she is used to.

I have to be honest the whole hacking scene for the SNES mini has really sparked my interest in Emulation in general. I won't bother with adding non-snes games to the mini but i'm looking to the Hyperspin front end and boy it's a deep dive! But i hope to have a majorty of consoles and MAME setup on my HTPC, so far it's running into 200Gb! I'm a couple of weeks away from finishing
