What's the best Mini or Classic console to mod for playing NES, SNES, and Genesis games?

-

I’ve got the NES and SNES Classics, plus the Genesis Mini, and I’m trying to decide which one to mod so I can play games from all three systems. Which console do you think is best for this purpose? Also, can anyone recommend the best software and any guides or tutorials for modding? Thanks a bunch!

Another option could be the r36s. It’s super affordable and can play all the games you want without breaking the bank.

If you’re focused on controller comfort, go with the SNES Classic. It has just enough buttons for a smoother gameplay experience.

NeoGeoNinja -

Honestly, if you’re open to alternatives, consider the Neo Geo Mini. It’s pretty neat and can handle a variety of games.

From my experience, I found the Genesis Mini to be the easiest to mod. However, if you really want the best option, consider the PS1 Classic—it’s a great console to mod if you can find it for a decent price. They tend to be a bit pricey now, though.

Yeah, I regret not picking up a few while they were cheap! I got mine for about £14 when they were considered a flop.

Are they more expensive now because they’re just better for modding?
