You can use a Wii pro controller or
One of these
https://techcrunch.com/2016/12/15/8...nes-classic-is-the-ideal-wireless-controller/
But at $40 that's almost the price of the console
I'm good with a $10 10ft extension cable from Amazon for the controller it came with
Still way easier to do on a raspberry pi, nvidia shield, or other android device, plus they can all play other game systems like SNES, Atari, Genisys, Master System, TurboGraffix 16, etc...
how?
How many times is this going to be posted
With Raspberry Pi get the Emualation Station Card Image http://www.emulationstation.org/#download
Follow there directions to flash the image
Copy your Roms via windows networking, should show up on your network as \\retropie
Make sure you put the Roms into the right folder for the right system
Have it "Scrape" for games in the menu
With Nvidia Sheild or an other Android device... My Nvidia Sheild can play game systems as new as the GameCube and PS2
Install ES Explorer from the Play Store
Copy the games from either a thumb drive, sd card, or from Windows networking (\\ServerName\Shared Folder\) to your device, put games for each game system into a different folder... can even just download them and move them to the right folder
Install GameSome from Play Store
Open GameSome
Click the Menu icon (3 lines icon, top left) and click Download Profiles, this is the list of game systems GameSome supports
Now open a game system you have Roms for... Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Genisys, Atari, etc...
Go to Menu icon -> Set Emulator
Now select the emulator you want to use, if you don't have an emulator installed for that system, click one of the supported emulators and it will take you that emulators page on the Play Store so you can install it
After you have the emulator installed and you set it as the one you want to use click the Menu icon again and click Set game directories
Click the + icon and add the folder where you keep your games for that system
Back out of the Set game directories screen
Click the Menu icon again and then click Change Scraper, this is where it downloads the covers, backgrounds, and game info from
The menu that opens, at the top there are tabs for different sites, i usually just use TheGamesDB, then press up and down to select the system (NES, SNES, Genisys, etc...) you need to get info for
Click the Menu icon again and select Search for new games
It will now look at what Roms you have and download any info about them from the scraper
Once it finds your games you can select them then click Play to start them.
If it doesn't figure out what game it is, you can open that game then select Manually Search Metadata and change the name to help it find it. It is common that extra gibberish in the name will throw it off.

Nintendo NES Classic Edition Mini Jailbroken by Hackers, Guide
By LightningMods on Yesterday at 10:08 PM: #1
If you recently picked up an NES Classic Edition, you'll be happy to know it can now be jailbroken thanks to console hackers in Japan and Russia allowing you to soft-mod it and upload Nintendo Entertainment System games via USB cable with a guide below! :bananaman14:
To quote from ArsTechnica.com: According to the whiz kids at Reddit's NESClassicMods community, the solution won't work until you've created a save file in Super Mario Bros' first slot. (Chances are, you've already done this just by playing the game, since creating game saves is so easy with this system.)
Once you've done that, connect your NES Classic Edition to a computer via a micro-USB cable, then boot the NES in "FEL" mode. This is done by holding down the system's reset button while pushing down the power button from a powered-off state. While you're booting, you should also run a "sunxi-FEL" interface on your computer. (An open-source version of compatible "USBBoot" software can be found here.)
The rest of the steps (via Pastebin) land firmly in "operate at your own risk" territory, as they require copying your NES Classic's internal data to your computer, then modifying and adding files via an application made by hackers. Doing so, by the way, includes the dubious step of supplying your own ROM files, which you may have either dumped from your own cartridges or downloaded from other Internet users.
One tool linked from that Reddit community, however, comes with two open-source NES ROMs that are in the legal free-and-clear to upload to your hardware.
Code:
1. Go here http://linux-sunxi.org/FEL/USBBoot#Using_sunxi-fel_on_Windows and install driver with zadig.
Fel mode is activated by holding down reset while switching on power button - http://linux-sunxi.org/FEL
2. Grab tool here https://github.com/madmonkey1907/hakchi/releases
Dump uboot and kernel from your nes. uboot should have md5 b13b538f6b7c86623ceea69c456d4eb5, if it's not, it might be unsafe to continue. 8ce1857653874e8f0cd3fe68abe1bb4a and 9b8046b47c947d9fa322976c038003e0 also confirmed to work.
3. Prepare roms - with nesmini shell, rom is a directory, not a file. Template+tool here https://www.dropbox.com/s/3t3wrkhw26shro0/nesromtool.zip?dl=0
tl;dr you need a rom, image, and optional *.desktop file. it's a text file you can edit.
4. Place rom dirs in
mod/hakchi/transfer/rootfs/usr/share/games/nes/kachikachi/
nesromtool will do this for you if you unpack it in nesromtool subdir of hakci-gui tree
5. unpack kernel / repack kernel
6. Do a memboot, nes will shutdown, switch it to fel mode again.
7. Flash kernel <- do this ONLY ONCE. there is no need to ever do it again. until custom kernels appear that is.
If there is a save in first slot of Super Mario Bros. it will load mod, otherwise it will load stock shell.
You also get getty on uart interface, but there isn't much use in it if you don't have uart soldered.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible for any damage you might inflict upon your nesmini
Once you've added your own game files, which should also include custom JPGs that will appear in the NES Classic's "box art" GUI, you'll have to repack the hardware's kernel, then fully flash the hardware yourself. (Again, we remind you, these kinds of technical steps can result in a bricked NES Classic if anything unexpected happens.)
Do all of those steps correctly, and you'll see every single game you've added appear in the slick, default interface. :kpwink:

Didn't play this as a kid but I've been having shit loads of fun with this as an adult.
you can put retroarch and run snes,sega, n64,ps1^
but I'm just keeping mine strictly nes , i put every north america nes game, a few japan and European all together 700 nes games on my nes classic
if nintendo releases a snes classic ill do the same only snes games
thats nice if you want just nes games. if nintendo had set it up to add those games for a small fee they'd be making even more money. but instead the damn thing is "locked" and always sold out so people find workarounds. i just gave my friends daughter a raspberry pi with over 10,000 games on it and designed her a custom xbox one controller to go with it. her mom was shocked that there was so many games on it. she thought i was some kind of genius lol. now she wants one for her bedroom to relive some of her childhood memories. i got 3 co-workers who want me to set one up for them since they been having a hard time getting the nes mini.
I just copped the classic NES.. how u add more games than the standard 30 they offer?
Watch the hakchi video I posted above
You need windows to run the program
i was laughing at this thread till my sd card in my tablet went out.......lol....arggggghhhh
there's so many ways to get access to older games whether its legit or otherwise. now that retro gaming is making a comeback alot of companies like nintendo is finally seeing value in releasing a legal means to play them. when i was a senior in high school this junior showed me how i can use emulators on pc to play them. this was back in like 2000. ever since then i always had the old games i loved on my computer. i like the fact that i can play older games i never got as a kid due to moms not buying everything i wanted. sure u can rent from blockbuster but there was too many games to get to them all.

damn how did i double post? lol. i wouldnt mind having one but nintendo needs to come off the bullshit. it shouldnt be hard for them to have a surplus of these things out there. if it was suppose to be a limited edition then say so. the way they doing it they'll never trully have a successful retro system as long as they keep having "shortages". so until then i'll just keep doing my thing on pc.
