I currently have mine setup to boot into the NES Classic firmware, and have had it setup to boot into the Shonen Jump firmware. I found it really easy, and here are the steps (as best as I can remember) to do it.
Sorry if this is kind of long, but I wanted to be as precise as possible to the steps that I used to get mine working.
These are the things that I used,
USB adapter www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FY9Z9GD
Thumb Drive www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-Transfer-Speeds-SDCZ48-064G-UAM46/dp/B00KYK2ABI (I know that this one is overkill for what I do, and that I don't need USB3 but it is the best one that I have tried)
Hakchi2-CE https://github.com/pathartl/Hakchi2-CE/releases I use the 3.5.3 version, which is the most recent as of writing this.
That should be everything that is needed to get it working.
I would like to shout out u/PattonPlays for he has great tutorials on how to do a lot of hacking of the Nintendo Classic systems. I wish I had found him before I started hacking my system. Here is his YouTube channel as well https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO91Nlt9y8svZF8VjEKpkmQ there are great videos on there, and even though some of his hacking videos are older, he seems to be updating them
Grab an OTG usb adapter and a small 16gb usb drive ( though 8 gbs should honestly suffice, unless you're going to go haywire and add everything you can to it).
I currently have a total of 524 games on mine, for NES, SNES, Sega Genesis and Arcade games, which is all I'm currently interested in. I've only used up 2.5gbs and that is with the save states also being saved on the usb host, as opposed to the NAND memory on the console.
​
This is what mine looks like btw. I've shared these links before.
USB host pic 1
USB host pic 2
​
Works like a charm, though some people had issues working with theirs. Not sure if their USB drives are drawing too much power to work properly, or if the OTG hub is not functioning well.
​
I bought mine on Amazon and actually bought the two pack, just to be sure I would receive the correct right angle unit. 2 for 7.99 wasn't a bad deal. :\^]
Amazon: Right angle micro USB host with USB power
Amazon: SanDisk Cruzer Fit low profile 16gb USB drive
Alright your instructions are great and were followed to a T. This was also my understanding and that's why I am at my wits end with this because I did everything just as you stated and have double and triple checked things. I also installed a boot splash in the root folder and installed the boot splash mod to test it out and it has never seen that either.
-------------
The OTG adapter again is the same one patton is using in the videos on his youtube channel:OTG: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LTHBCNM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and
the USB stick I'm using is a 64gb sandisk from the approved list online here:USB: Sandisk64GBSDCZ33-064GYES - u/Negativitee------------
The NES boots with the OTG cable connected and you see the USB drive flash so it is getting power. I've tried all three ports on the OTG and same result. The folder structure matches my last flash and is not seeing what is on the USB drive.
It should be pretty simple to ensure the information is pulling from the drive. Why is this so difficult for hakchi?
It should be as simple as a dropdown or checkbox. :USB ACTIONS-Format USB-Store games on USB-Store cores on USB
etc... This needs to be added to the program*
​
How does one ensure they are wiping their system and filling up the USB drive?
It really seems like this program wasn't designed for this and further development is needed to add it to some menu somewhere. There is nothing I can check or verify in the gui to make sure things are in place for this to work. I noticed some older tutorials tell people to hold shift while syncing and the words change on the sync button to "sync to USB" and this does not happen with my system. The words don't change and although the program has no problem seeing and exporting to my drive it does not link up whatever is needed to actually work.
Is there something to look for in the hakchi2 folder where the file structure is stored for the program? Can I add a file to a folder manually? Or is there a workaround for this?

OTG Adapters for the NES/SNES Classic:
Inateck:
https://www.rakuten.com/shop/inateck/product/HB3001G/
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Inateck-3-Port-USB-2-0-OTG-Hub-Adapter-Cable-SD-Card-Reader-for-Smartphone/602986265
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00OCBXIY8?tag=echo10-20
Note: Only the USB 2.0 version is compatible with the NES/SNES Classic out of the box. You would need an adapter for the USB-C version to connect to the NESC/SNESC, and whether it actually would work is currently unknown.
Also, be aware that it uses its own power cable instead of the NES/SNES Classic's USB cable, and it is very short (roughly 12-14 inches long).Consider getting an extension USB cable or using an extension cord.
TUSITA ("octopus" style): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LTHBCNM?tag=echo10-20
This one has been reported as working for many people, but can also reportedly break easily.
Simpler OTGs:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FY9Z9GD?tag=echo10-20
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JCZ2FQQ?tag=echo10-20
OTGs like these have only one port for USB. A simple choice if you only want to use USB and not wifi...or vice versa.
We do not recommend the small angled adapter featured on snesclassicmods.com and elsewhere. It looks great, but easily loses data connection at the slightest nudge.
Here are a few options:
USB Sticks ----> List of Compatible USB Devices for USB Host Mod
Also if you want to get Netplay: TP-Link TL-WN725N
It's the recommended Wifi adapter.
I have all these and they work great. Started out with the small one, but had to get more ports so I could add more controllers and wifi for netplay.
Also, it's best to put Hakchi on the thumb drive itself. It keeps everything self-contained. When adding games use "export" instead of syncing. Make sure "linked" is checked.
*Edit for link
Hey Patton, sorry I just noticed this post was removed by the automod.
If you want to post Amazon links the best way is to follow the guide titled "Posting Amazon Links on Reddit" here: https://www.reddit.com/r/miniSNESmods/wiki/faq#wiki_miscellaneous
Basically strip the url down to just this
https://www.amzn.com/B076B995TL
That should be allowed by the automod and prevent it from removing them.
Cheers!
First off the controller you linked is a third party controller, not official nintendo. From what i've heard and read here is that 3rd party knockoffs don't work on the snes mini.
For the USB hub, i only use the angled otg adapter so I don't know about the hubs from experience. But the one always mentioned here as the best by others is from Inateck: https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adapter-Compact-Compatible-Smartphones/dp/B00OCBXIY8
Seconded. I recommend this OTG cable over the Innateck hub many people use due to durability issues.
https://www.amazon.com/ANRANK-MO2001AK-Samsung-Phones-Tablets/dp/B07PCPWYQR
Most people seem to recommend the Innateck, and its easy to see the advantages, the primary being extra controller ports.
https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adapter-Compact-Compatible-Smartphones/dp/B00OCBXIY8
I use a SanDisc Cruiser Glide 64gb thumb drive. I keep a backup copy of my Hakchi folder along side the exported data so I can make changes where ever I take my NESC. It can take hours to export, be warned!
Yes. Installing the Memory Booster hmod will tell your SNESc the next time it's booted up to create a swap file on your USB drive that is inserted into an OTG device.
I use the following devices. From my research the USB drive is the fastest slim style on the market ... for that price. It loads Sega CD & PS1 games pretty fast.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D7PDLXC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thank you so much. That was extremely useful. I picked up 3 of these. Two for me and my boyfriend and extra in case one doesn't work, and two of these USBS. They will not be here until Thursday so I have a bit of a wait. In the mean time should I restore my SNES to factory settings in preparation?
Thank you for your help.
Could it be that my USB-Stick (SanDisk Cruzer 16 GB) wants too my power?
Would it be possible that the following cable helps me out?
https://www.amazon.de/LINDY-70266-Adapterkabel-35mm-DC-Hohlstecker/dp/B00CXNMBVI
That is excellent news! One other question: does the hub you use need an external power source? I saw someone recommend this:
Fun-Home Left Angle USB 2.0 Micro Male to USB Female Host OTG Adapter for SamSung i9100 i9300 With Power Features https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013ENUF0Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YzM8Ab8RNMKTK
I have a small USB hub I could plug into it, would it get enough power to the controllers, do you think?
FYI I'm using this, https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adapter-Compact-Compatible-Smartphones/dp/B00OCBXIY8
Any known issues with connections? It seemed to be the best rated around here.
You mean something like this?
8Bitdo Retro Receiver for SNES Classic, SFC Classic and NES Classic (Bluetooth) - Super NES; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076B995TL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_0IS9BbEJ57QVZ
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LTHBCNM
I use this and it works great. It's been recommended by others too.
Quality control on those octopus ones seems to be lacking and too much guesswork about ones that work and ones that don't. I even supposedly had a "good one" that I only used for a couple weeks that failed. I just got this one and will have to try out soon: https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adapter-Compact-Compatible-Smartphones/dp/B00OCBXIY8/ref=pd_sim_107_5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00OCBXIY8&pd_rd_r=RD9N0FYKBDWYT0ANX8NW&pd_rd_w=kmANp&pd_rd_wg=3Elfm&psc=1&refRID=RD9N0FYKBDWYT0ANX8NW
I'm hoping it will prove to be a reliable option for folks who want multiple inputs.
I haven't seen complaining on the right angled one so that likely is a good option for those not needing additional inputs.
Whatever you are syncing in Hakchi will show up on the USB. If you synced on the NAND first, they will look the same.
I usually use USB to do 99% of playing, BUT I setup my machine to have a slightly different set of games when USB is not plugged in. To do this I made a copy of my HakchiCE install. In the second install I removed most of the games I have for the USB version, and sync straight to the machine.
The reason I have two is for the very rare occasions I want to play with more than 2 players. I can plug in my OTG and use it to add more controllers, and because I don't have the USB dongle plugged in, it means I can play 5-player Bomberman.
So, my NAND-only install just has a series of 4/5 player games setup to play through Retroarch (they are all usually setup to play through Canoe on the USB install).
Sorry for the long explanation, but thought it might answer any secondary questions you had. CUSTOMISATION IS KING
My monitor doesn't have a 3.5 out for sound, so I use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digital-Premium-Extractor-Converter/dp/B00BIQER0E/
It works well enough. I use it for all my hdmi devices: Wii U, PS4, Firestick, SNESClassic.
This is the actual one I bought:
https://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Extractor-Optical-Toslink-Converter/dp/B00KBHX072
But the one I posted before has better review ratio.
My biggest complaint is that is plugs in with a powerjack that needs to take up multiple slots. It would be swell if it were USB powered. Let me know if you have any questions?
This is the one I use:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013ENUF0Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Works great
Try a different adapter for flash drive, I have this exact style and works great
https://www.amazon.com/AuviPal-Micro-USB-Cable-Power/dp/B07FY9Z9GD/ref=mp_s_a_1_55?keywords=usb+splitter+with+usb+mini&qid=1563715663&s=gateway&sr=8-55
There are two ways:
I just use USB Host, although I recommend against the OTG devices they have in that tutorial. I currently use this one by Inateck and recently switched from a 32 GB USB drive to a 256 GB mini SD card. A word of warning about the Inateck adapter: you have to use its power cord instead of the USB cord that comes with the mini, and it's significantly shorter.
And the system automatically detected the joystick, or you still had to map it?
I'm using the 8Bitdo Retro Receiver which lets my connect via bluetooth to my PS4 controller. But it's not detecting my joysticks!
EDIT: Yup - just had to manually set my controller directions to the proper mapping :)
[OTG Hub & SD Card Reader] Inateck Multi-in-1 OTG Adapter Cable, TF SDHC Card Reader, USB 2.0 Compact OTG Adapter Hub for USB On-The-Go Compatible Devices, Smartphones and Tablets PC https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OCBXIY8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-GiQBb1AT61R4
This is the best and fastest adapter you can buy.
Also I haven’t seen anyone use that flash drive before... idk might be the adapter or the flash drive since you claim you are doing everything right on the console and stuff
Would this be a good otg adapter if I wanted to increase my space for stuff like ps1 games? :P
https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adapter-Compact-Compatible-Smartphones/dp/B00OCBXIY8
It seems to be the same and it could not help but mine comes from there: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00OB2R47K and works well too. ;)
Update: I bought this one. And now everything works fine. cable fit perfect. no interruption. https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adapter-Compact-Compatible-Smartphones/dp/B00OCBXIY8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1540901742&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+hub+otg
I use a Seagate Backup Plus portable drive.
There is a slight delay for the HDD to power up, but it works fine. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00G7LQA1E/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1518212065&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=seagate+backup+plus+slim+2tb&dpPl=1&dpID=31njL8rwUbL&ref=plSrch
Make sure you're running your SNESC from the power adapter and not from a TV USB port.
Also, check your OTG cable is working properly. I don't use those octopus style cables as I've had issues with them.
Or, you could go for a 3.5" one that comes with its own power supply.
Not all SD cards are created equal. Unfortunately due to limitations with the R16 CPU in the classics, some SD cards will cause the system to hang. I have wiped out the compatible microSD card list and have started fresh. I've only verified two so far that are compatible and remain stable:
32GB
64GB
Wow, thank you so much for the info!
I checked if it exists on Amazon.fr and found this one, looks identical but it's not the same brand, I think I'll try anyway.
Is it a lot bigger than "octopus" OTG?
So, just tested the USB Host Mod with my Bipra 100GB Hard Drive and it works great.
Hard Drive: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bipra-Portable-External-Backup-Software/dp/B004U4L4V6/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1521045472&sr=1-3&keywords=external%2Bhard%2Bdrive%2Bntfs&th=1

Thanks. I have been poking around and another redditor mentioned this one (similar) so I may use this one -

Looks like a bot that responds to "am I wrong?" The answer to your question is you need this: https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Retro-Receiver-Classic-Bluetooth-nintendo/dp/B076B995TL/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=8bitdo+bluetooth+adapter+snes+classic&qid=1556909090&s=gateway&sr=8-1
I use the 8bitdo retro receiver with an SN30 Pro. I don't notice any obvious lag or interference issues, but I'm not a speed runner or high-performance gamer. Battery life is okay - usually lasts about 4-8 hours, though I've never tried just pushing the controller till it died.
In hindsight, I wish I'd gone with the regular SN30. The extra niceties of the Pro model are okay, but they mess with the grip a bit since the controller is larger, and I find that I prefer other controllers for playing modern games on other consoles or PC. I got the SN30 Pro for nostalgia, so I wish I'd gone all the way and gotten a traditional one.
Yes.

This one
Appreciate you taking the time to test those for me, at least if you have other people come forward to you now with the issue you'll know it's OTG related and can advise accordingly.
I'm going to look into getting a new OTG device and post my results back here, tempted to try this one:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00OB2R47K/
I’m doing this and every time I boot up it looks like a stock snes.

You going to have to buy an adapter to be able to plug in a USB stick. You'll need something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FY9Z9GD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_hFZXDbRH6D6AC
I had trouble finding the Inatek for a decent price, so went with this one instead and it works great:
https://www.amazon.ca/Adaptor-TUSITA-Charging-Adapter-Raspberry/dp/B00LTHBCNM
I ended up gluing mine down to a piece of plastic to try and mitigate the fragile wire issue that’s known with these octopus-style adapters.

this is the one i use. it has 3 usb ports so you can plug in a USB Host drive, keyboard and mouse

I do agree with you that it is weird.
However, it is not that the flash drive doesn't work, because I'm able to play the games (hence, reading data is not a problem, apparently). When I try to go to the home menu, that's when the problem appears. So it might be that the the flash drive is unable to write data and that this problem comes from the adapter (since I test it with two different flash drives and it has the same behaviour with each one).
I also noticed that one of the usb ports of the adapter seems to not recognize the flash drive.
I'm using the Inateck Hub which a lot o people praise. It was working ok, but again, I stopped using it for months and something must have happen in that time.
This is the one I use: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00OB2R47K/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1520858452&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=otg+usb+hub
Works fine with the usb mod and additional usb controllers.
Got mine on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Fun-Home-Female-Adapter-SamSung-Features/dp/B013ENUF0Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1522294860&sr=8-3&keywords=left+angle+usb+otg
This one :

Be careful. When it plugged in, micro usb does provide power only and data is USB-A.

Would a Neo Geo X arcade stick work for Snes mini? What would I need for this to work?

What about Hyperkin Genesis controller?

Had to run a benchmark tool since the specs are oddly not online. This USB drive results was between 10 and 20 MB/s for reading, averaging about 13MB/s for files above 256KB.
Writing was to 0.02MB/s 4 MB/S, again averaging about 3MB/S for files above 256KB
The oddity of the speed changes past that makes me question the benchmark tool since it takes a cliff dive after that. Running now on a different port. Still, at the higher file size rates I would think that would be quick enough.
This works

I got this one
The SNES Classic is very picky on what OTG cables will work with it. I personally would not trust something for 35 cents. I got this one and it hasn't failed me yet.

Don't think this will work on either the Wii or WiiU though. In my experience, the remotes cannot fully power the adapter to the degree that they are supplied power by the Classic Mini line.
It's a passthrough, so the USB power cable just plugs into the other half.
Ive checked all the cores for the games, as well as my Retroarch, with no issues there. I am having an issue where hakshi is saying my console is taking too long to reboot. It could also be my OTG connecter (im using This one) which has been mentioned in later comments
I've got one of these on each of my Minis.
I used to have the right-angle adapter when I first modded my SNES, but I wasn't a fan of it. Maybe it was the model I ordered, but it didn't feel solid at all when it was plugged in to the console, particularly when the flash drive and power cable were plugged in to it. It really didn't take much effort at all to disconnect. I don't have that problem with the cables I currently have.
I’ve done the full factory reset.
This is my otg, and the flash drive is a sandisk cruzer glide 128gb. I power the system by flipping the power switch.
I did both tests with otg plugged in without flash drive and micro usb plugged directly to the system and they boot up in 13 seconds.
There could be some hmods that are conflicting with boot times. I will try again later today.
So, after some talking back and forth, the problem is compatibility with certain SD cards. If anyone else is having a problem with this,get this card! It's the Kingston 64GB MICROSDHC Canvas React card, and it is basically known to work. I got it and switched it out with my old card, and re-installed uboot in SD mode and SD prep, and now it works without having to do anything but have it inserted!
I have tried three USB drives and three OTG, and have had no luck getting USB-HOST to work. I tried both FAT32 and NTFS. Both H2CE and Hakchi-gui methods.
I get the Hakchi loading screen, and my thumb drives light up, but I never see any of the games I loaded onto the USB drives, only the original 21.
Any ideas of where I could be going wrong? Or did I really get unlucky with all these devices?
For the record, I tried an "L" OTG and two Y-cable OTG's. The thumb drives were a no-name 4GB, a Kingston 8GB "DataTraveler Locker", and a PNY 64GB model P-FD64GATT4-GE.
i had the snes plugged in to a non working port on my PC..... i feel really stupid now.
i did all the steps again. i get the hakchi splash screen then my original 21 games. i just tried one game and altered the desktop file to use var/games/ instead of usr/share/
im starting to wonder if my adapter doesnt work. i bought the right angle adapter that i saw on a youtube video https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M7XQ6O2/
EDIT I just tested the pins on the adapter, power and data are passing thru. there is no reason this is not working!!
It's those generic octopus adapters. I have had 3 in total and they all just quit working but still able to power on the device. It's bad solder jobs on the boards or just cheap boards altogether, or both. I ordered one of these and not had 1 single problem for almost a year now!
my first experiences with external storage were really bad too. I had blackscreens, crashes and was send back to menu a lot. All this was causes by the subpar OTG connector i used ( it was one of these )
Once i switched to the Inateck OTG HUB it has been rocksolid.
Of course that's just my experience and your problems might be rooted elsewhere.
Thanks! I was looking at that one but the negative reviews were making me hesitant.
Would this one work too?

I would highly recommend one of these...

Together they let you use the cable that came with the mini, but doesn't leave extra weight hanging, since it'll sit on the table as well.
I'd also say, do NOT buy - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B016KNKRYY (The octopus cables mentioned by viral_dna)
They are rubbish! I've gone through two, one was DOA, and the second died a few days later.
