We got an SNES mini & then I loaded up one of the Pi's I'm not using with RetroPie and loaded a bunch of ROMS from different systems on it.  We still have the SNES mini but it mostly sits there as decoration as we'll either play these on the Switch 2 or the RetroPie.

I'm not sure I ever thought about hacking the SNES Mini, but now I'm intrigued.  The RetroPie is kind of neat, but sometimes the Bluetooth controllers we use with it will just glitch or disconnect, which isn't something that happens when using it with a PC.

.... I don't have any solution, but I certainly admire the problem
