Hakchi2 CE for Windows

Hakchi2 CE — SNES Classic ROM manager

Hakchi2 CE is an improved fork of the original Hakchi2 that makes adding games to a Super Nintendo (SNES) Classic quick and straightforward. It offers a guided workflow for transferring ROMs and presents game details on the console’s menu so your additions look organized and polished.

Connecting and copying games

• Plug the SNES Classic into your PC using a USB cable.
• Follow the on-screen tutorial in the application; it walks you through the required steps.
• Once ROMs and metadata are prepared, a single sync action deploys everything to the console and finalizes the installation.

Main capabilities

• Configure player settings (number of players) for each title and adjust other launch options.
• Add metadata fields such as release date and publisher so entries show useful information in the system menu.
• Choose or upload box art and cover images to display alongside each game.
• Install additional emulator cores to run games from other platforms, for example PlayStation or Dreamcast support.

Quick workflow

1. Open Hakchi2 CE and connect your SNES Classic.
2. Import ROM files into the program.
3. Edit metadata, select artwork, and set player options as needed.
4. Hit the synchronization action to transfer everything to the console.

Alternative option

GameLoop (free) — a recommended substitute if you want a different PC-based emulator manager or prefer an alternative user interface.

Summary

Hakchi2 CE streamlines expanding the SNES Classic’s library by combining an easy-to-follow connection process, metadata and artwork support, and optional emulator additions. It’s a practical choice for anyone who wants to add more titles and improve how they appear on the console menu.
