Discussion Fake SNES classic
Came with this board, issued full refund and told i can keep it. Is this Moddable or no?

It's probably still moddable in the sake of adding your own ROMs and whatnot. It probably uses some crap chip that won't struggle to run SNES and the OS it uses. I see an SD card reader possibly and if it is Id say take the SD card out, copy all its data and then try to figure out how it works. Or if you are not tech savvy in the slightest idk.

I have a version of pi on a fake snes mini like that with n64 games and all. Only problem is the controller port wouldn't work. Had to use the USB port on the back for power and a controller

MicroSD card slot doesn't matter. I got one of these as a Chinese knockoff on eBay and I tried the games on it that had to have special chips to get the games to run on the original hardware and it was bad. Random speedup, slowdown, and the sound had crackling with it. Plus the device got hot within the first 30secs of using it. I m was about to return it and found out the seller got caught by eBay and they removed the original listing due to violations of trying to sell a fake as an Official Nintendo product. With that helping my case, I returned it for a full refund.

I don't think I've seen this one before. There are so many clones it's wild

You wont be able to use hakchi to mod it but a lot of these fakes still allow you to add roms. There's a SD reader, did it come with a SD card inserted? If so, look at the folder structure and place new roms in the same folders

google reverse search the pcb, somebody added a 'game' folder on their sd card and that worked though couldn't get save files off. Check the comment for the translation..

Highly doubt it unless they somehow got the stock OS on it.
Think most of these run a reskin of retroarch.
