Where do you get the box art and how do you apply it?
Maybe we should have a separate modding thread? Compete with a detailed OP with links and FAQ?

I have a UK SNES Classic. Any suggestions for usb power adapters?

Is there a problem hooking the USB power to my TV's USB port? The plug doesn't reach my outlet.
Seemed to work fine for me.

Google image search. You should be able to find some 2000ish by 1500ish images that are way overkill.
As long as your tv didn't cheap out, it should be fine. If you get random crashes, especially when you hit rest, then you know the tv isn't putting out enough juice.

It works fine.
We need someone to own this thread who can update the OP. This is a crappy OT really. We had one which was alive for 30 milliseconds.....
TV's USB is the only power source I have used since the NES Mini. No problems at all

Cool well thanks for the help. I'm gonna give up for now because I think I'm doing everything right and it's just not working. I did manage to get the arrow to default to the second slot on a save that had two files in it but they both say no data available. Maybe it has something to do with the rom being English patched or something? I don't know.

PAL-only games need an NTSC-patch, Japan only games need a translation patch, Final Fantasy II/III need a patch to show their real title Final Fantasy IV/VI, Super Mario Allstars needs the brick physics fix patch.
Other than that you won't need much more.
I'm wondering if a non-fast charging phone adapter would work? I have a Samsung S5 charger that I use to charge my Dual Shock 4, but I also could use my TV or receiver USB ports.

How so?
Ehm, I understand the feeling, but it's not like this thread was meant exclusively for modding.
The OT is fine and the guy that did it did a fine job.
Once the official modding tool will be released I assume there will be a thread about it.
This thread is mainly for the SNES Classic and the games that come with it.

Yeah, NeOak's thread was far superior.
...You really think that?
I mean, EviLore had to edit it multiple times because there were issues with it that the OP wasn't touching.

Oh...I didn't know that though, just went to see what the OP looks like a minute ago. :lol

Here:
Okay guys. If you want to get on this, here is an early pre-release compile that functions fully. (I'm hosting it on my webspace so you don't have to look in shady places or anything, I think I am pretty trusted here.
Here's a quick rundown.
1) With the SNES Mini attached to your PC via USB, hold reset, turn the Mini on, wait a few seconds, then release reset. The light will not be on.
2) Go to Kernel, Dump Kernel. Install the driver if prompted. DO NOT lose this file, ever.
3) Go to Kernel, Flash Custom Kernel. Your SNES Mini is now haxed.
3a) Optional, but recommended if you aren't doing too many games. Go to Settings, Pages/Folders Structure and pick Disable.
4) From now on, simply use the Add Games button, pick your SNES ROM, fill out the details, assign some box art..
5) And when you're done, hit the Sync button bottom right.
6) Now turn the SNES off, wait a moment, then turn it back on without holding reset. The light will come on, your new games will appear.

It wasn't updated by the OP from a few days before the system came out, up until a few days ago - during which time EviLore had to edit it multiple times - and even then the OP basically balked at the idea of having to actually do anything.
Thanks for the dimensions. Now I can photoshop horrors like this (since apparently some people really hate the PAL box style)
Hmmm...... maybe I should consider changing the words "PAL VERSION".

Too busy shitting on the US version to realize you put a fan made box.
Heck, EviLore had to correct your bad joke.

Isnt this title on the super famicom, maybe you have bad rom?
This thing has been out for a week and Nintendo still hasn't updated their website with the last developer interview!

I would assume it's good if he extracted it from his own cartridge, no?

So, what are the official resolutions for the hi-res box arts used in the main menu? Does it auto-compress the images for the "slide" preview at the bottom, or are they uploaded separately with different dimensions? I'm planning on spending some time creating custom "banners" for each game I add, sort of like Switch icons. Of course, I'll upload whichever ones look decent as well.

228 x 160 for the boxes.
The preview images can be any size you want, but if you're using hakchi then it will autoscale down your original image to 40 x 29. (The ones that come on the SNES Mini are 40 x 28). You can alter these images in the /snes_games/ folders, though, before syncing.

From gbatemp:
Apparently it's already fixed in GitHub, just wait for the next version.

Yeesh. It's one thing to have a slight joke, but the way that was handled was really poor form. Is it really that hard to have a degree of professionalism and be impartial when creating an OT?
Do we have any idea when the next version might get a release, or are we talking weeks?
It's taken a week to get the thing off the ground from nothing, so we're probably looking at hours and days until the next release candidate, rather than weeks. No knowing when the "official" release will occur, though.
Thanks, i might wait for the official release

So, 60 games now on the SNES classic. From Aladdin to Breath of Fire, from Lufia to Super Star Wars 1-3 and many many more.
Now it really deserves that name.

I'd say that's advisable for anyone who doesn't have prior-modding experience (like Robin64). There's a risk involved in using release candidates.

I dug my original SNES out of the garage and it still powered on. When I hooked it up to compare to the classic, I was really surprised by how different it looked! The TV blurs the image from the original to stretch it, and I think that is closer to what we experienced with 90s TVs. My wife actually thought the original looks better, and I can see that. In this example, as a kid I imagined Ryu's hair flowing realistically over his headband, now I can see the exact pixels of where it is and is not, I think its actually better to not know, and that is likely how the original artists meant it to be.

You mean display more area of the game? That would just fundementally break so many of them, I'm afraid, unless they were proper remakes. And at that point, 21 full remakes for 80 dollars isn't happening.

Yeah that'd really be worth MSRP rather than this rom dump tbh

That's not how any of this works. That's not something you can "optimize." You can't show what isn't there. This is not 3D games where there is a camera that shows this angle and that angle.
