Comment on NES Classic Mini - 1 Game

Since we’re on this topic anyways, now would be a great time for me to ask this very related question.
I know exactly how to add games to my SNES/NES mini’s if I’m using Windows. I forget the name of the program I have, and I’d have to look back into the process (it’s been almost 10 years since I did this), but is there a way to do this on linux? If not, it’s no big deal. I can always turn off my pc, switch hard drives, boot into my old Windows 7 drive, and use the program I have set up from years ago.
Not that I’m in any rush to do this, mind you. My mini consoles are more shelf display than anything I get any usage out of these days. I’ve been playing all my games on the Retroid Flip 2.
Still though. It’d be nice to have another reason never to boot into Windows 7 again.

it’s called hakchi - i think you need windows to use it sadly. I wouldn’t risk doing it through a VM (did that once to update a mouse firmware and bricked it)

Oh, jesus fuck. I’m glad you said that. I’ve been spending the past 2 days trying to figure out how to update the firmware in my Magic NS adapter. It will not recognize it through the VM of Windows 10 I have. So I grabbed an old hard drive, small, and trying to just legit install a copy of Windows 10. Apperently I’m an idiot, and can’t even figure out how to get a USB stick, a legit copy of Windows 10, and figure out how to install it. I’m doing something wrong. I’ve tried Raspberri Pi imager, and Fedora Media Writer. Neither worked.
I’d have been pissed if I COULD get the program to work in a VM, and it bricked it.

I think if you use a better VM than virtualbox you may be OK, but I wouldn’t risk it. Booting into windows isn’t too bad once a year

I was using a program called “Boxes”.
