Did you know that your mini retro console is likely to be modifiable? If it is a Nintendo Classic Mini, a Famicon Mini, a Super Nintendo Mini, a Super Famicom Mini, a Genesis Mini, or a MegaDrive Mini it is likely to be using an AllWinner board.
AllWinner boards are standard ARM computers that have a built-in rescue mode, much like you have on your phone. Hakchi leverages this to install a custom kernel so that it is easy to connect to and modify.
With Hakchi, you can install other emulators, other games, and other abilities for your little console. But please make sure to keep your ROMs legal.
Hakchi is written in C# and uses dot net. You may be able to use this on a non-windows platform, but I highly recommend Windows with an x86 processor for the least amount of issues.
The system has 512MB of memory for storage. 128MB of it is read-only for the bootloader and built-in games. The leftover can be used for other software and game saves.
Kachikachi, the built-in emulator, does have some lag. If you plan to play a game like Punch Out, I recommend you install a different emulator and enable the run ahead in Retroarch. This menu can be accessed at any time by pressing select and start at the same time.
With Hakchi, I give the system 3 out of 5 Bitters. It is usable as a general product with the ability to add other games and tweak the lag. The controllers are still not great, however.
