NES Classic has been hacked - Colossus - 01-18-2017
So, the NES Classic was hacked by someone in Russia.
There are now instructions on how to soft-mod the system (and bring it back to normal).
I spent all evening modding mine, TRYING to add my whole collection on the system.
There are two ways of doing it, but I highly HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the 2nd way (which I am posting bellow).

I did have around 110 games on the system, but kept running into errors.
I found the sweet spot of 85 where there are no issues.. so far.
But hey, the roms look pretty sweet.
Which means, Nintendo just made a HD emulator.

Saw news of this a while back but there have also been reports of parts of said hack containing some malware(from what I've read anyways). This makes it a "do at your own risk" sort of thing.

The link on the redit page was checked. No Malware (at least I found)
