So how much space do you get to play around with storage-wise?

Just downloaded about 1GB's (764 games ) worth of roms

Mines is showing 245mb or there abouts so you'll need to be a little picky with them. I'd leave about 50-65mb for saves, rewinds and savestates as well.

Oh man, I am torn about Hatchi - when I got an R4 for my DS it ruined the system for me for years - there so many games suddenly available that I could only concentrate on them for 5 mins at a time.

I think I'll leave it for now.

How does retroarch work on it? Is it a seperate boot up?

How cool is this?!?

I can't get the Reset from controller to work.
Are you supposed to just hold down the two shoulder buttons and then press Start + Select together?

It's a module that you need to install for each system you want to play on it. I've not looked at it yet though, so I don't know much more than that.

It should do. You have to enable it through Hackchi, though I think it's on by default. You can change the button combination as well. I set mine to L, R, Down and X. You have to hold if for a second though, so try that.

Will give that a go, cheers.


And for the Retroarch modules, I read that someone had made a Commodore 64 module for the NES Mini. Jawa might want to grab a NES mini when they come back into stores

Now all we need for the snes mini is a raspbery pi emulator

Have acquired several more games and will probably play through DKC3. Have to put the CRT filter on though as it looks arse

Beat that worm boss in LttP first time without getting hit

Couldn't believe how easy it was to add roms, 43 games installed now (Original 21 + 22 other games)

Any idea if that (or one like it) might be available in Europe?

I haven’t heard of any UK / Euro retailer offering it yet, Preezy, but hopefully one will.

Where is it available, out of interest?

I'm currently compiling a list of ROMs I'd like to add but like you I'm wary of getting too many and overwhelming my attention span. Happened when I got emulators on my PC too, had so many games I didn't play any of them

My limited list so far is:

Chrono Trigger
Super Mario All-Stars
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time
Earthworm Jim
Tetris
Final Fight
Batman Returns

Not a bad list I think, I don't have any need to add more RPGs as the ones that you get as standard are enough to last me at least the next 20 years

Am I missing any obviously great ones?

UN Squadron might be worth a look. A bit different to the others.

Added that to my list, thanks Ste
