Of course the Super NES Classic has already been hacked

The Super NES Classic Edition mini-console is less than two weeks old, but already the modder community has cracked open the system and put together a pretty simple way to load more games than the 21 included with the system and even to add a much-needed reset button to the system.

Unlike modern consoles, the Super NES classic doesn’t connect to the internet, so there’s no official way to add more games. But if you’re willing to risk bricking your shiny new mini-console, you can increase that 21-game library tenfold pretty easily.

Super Nintendo games don’t take up very much space, but the system has 300MB of on-board memory, meaning there’s plenty of room to add more games and even cover art.

Here’s the hack in action:

The software, called HackChi, is pretty flexible. You can add non-Super Nintendo games to the system and even make your own button-combo shortcut that will allow you to reset the system without having to get up and go to your TV. The lack of a “Home” button or button combination on the controller seems like a huge oversight. While I might be committed to finishing The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past right now, but if you whip this thing out at a party, your friends are going to be switching games at a mad pace as they relive nostalgia. The additional games are cool and all, but this might be the best part.
