Like all things related to hacking your mini console, there’s probably a Youtube video that will hold your hand through all the steps and here’s a good one for getting Hakchi installed and setup:īut everything above I’ve already said before - what I wanted to do with this post is put down in one place all the things I’ve discovered/figured out since first getting into hacking my Sega Mini, as there were a bunch of things that I wish I would have just started off doing/knowing.įor example, rather than slowly working my way up to incorporating an external USB drive because I thought it would be too complicated ( it’s not), I would have just gone down that road right from the beginning. So I highly recommend just going with Hakchi. Perhaps Project Lunar has since added more features, but, for me, Hakchi has been a breeze to use and I can’t think of anything I need it to do that it doesn’t do. And, even better, Hakchi already had way more built-in functionalities, like a file sorting system and more, ready to go.

And after finding a suggestion on a forum to try using Parallels to pretend my Mac was a PC for hacking purposes, I quickly discovered that Hakchi was just as easy to setup as Project Lunar had been, if not exponentially easier as I was no longer using that slow-ass Virtual Box. If you’ve ever poked around online about hacking a mini console, then you probably are already aware that the other solution out there comes from Hakchi.
On top of that, I was on a Mac and the instructions I followed involved using Virtual Box to pretend I was on a PC and that ended up being extremely slow, eventually leading to syncing problems and me having to restore my Mini back to its factory settings and searching the internet for another solution. I originally started my ‘mini hacking / retro video game’ hobby with Project Lunar back in March 2020, and that hack was mostly successful in regards to adding any Genesis / Mega Drive game I wanted, but there were limitations to how many games could be added and in setting up different consoles ( like NES and SNES) as there was no file sorting system in Project Lunar at the time.
