You can just turn off frameskip on most games with Bleemsync and it'll run just fine.

I tried Tekken 3 and it definitely play better than the PAL version.
No, it doesn't run at a locked 60, but it's still way more fluid than what's in there by default. The shortcomings aren't worth driving the whole game down to 50fps like they did.
Sorry, I meant Blood Omen. I don't think its on there right now sadly
Thanks for this - very helpful video. Figured it's worth quoting for people just joining the thread now.
PS3 does not output in native 240p, no. If you want native output, hunt down a PS2 with component cables. Keep in mind that it's a real crap shoot if your modern TV even supports native 240p at all. That's when you start getting into the world of upscalers/line doublers like the Framemeister and OSSC. Watch this video for a comprehensive look at getting the best PQ for PSX titles and what the PS3 is doing.
Amazing video, thanks.
Wasn't expecting the same games to have different outputs based on whether it's a disc or digital version, and am kinda disappointed by the latter producing an unsharp and sorta blurry image. Figured the PS3 would essentially make a proper PSX Classic redundant, but that might not be the case just yet.
Decided to give BleemSync a shot with a random flash drive I had laying around, and it worked for Spyro 1 without flaw the first time around, though I had to delete some quotation marks in the .ini file to get my controller working. Gotta sleep soon, but I can't wait to try it with SotN and others tomorrow.
EDIT: Got to very briefly play SotN. I had a weird issue where some text was missing or overlapping, but I think disabling frameskipping may have fixed it— I'll have to play more to know for sure. Otherwise though, it ran really well.
Really glad I bought this thing.

I had the same issues with text on SOTN. Unfortunate but thankfully not frequent enough to bother me.
I just upped the library from 36 to 47 but haven't tested it yet...it's 1AM here and I need some sleep. :lol
Are people here doing this on Mac? If so, is there a good tutorial video/guide I should be looking at for a video?
Is it possible to play the games in 720p resolution through debug menu? If so, how is the iq and performance?
PSX games always looked like crap on the PS3/ Vita TV. The aspect ratio isn't even correct.
I'm curious about this as well. I have a bootcamp partition so I'm not sweating it too much, but it would be nice to not have to jump out of MacOS, lol.
Do you think you'll sit and play the 47 games, or do you just like knowing they're on there?
When I first got my Raspberry Pi I felt like I had more fun setting up RetroPie than actually playing it.

Nah, I don't think I'll play everything, it's just that I have a 64Gb dongle exclusively for it, so might as well fill it up with as much games from my library as I can. :P
I agree on PSX games looking bad on PSTV but the PS3 can run them well.
I saw that one video a few weeks ago and it seems the best way to play those games are via the PSV or PSP but I don't own a Vita and the PSP is too uncomfortable compared to the DS3. Decisions, decisions... Maybe I'll get a PSV or buy a PSone and use it on my CRT ! Or get the mini if the emulator gets better with great CRT filters :D
What have been people's experiences with getting the gift card from Amazon? I got on support and they told me that the promotions department would take care of it. 12 hours later, I got an email from promotions saying I was supposed to add a $25 gift card to the order when I bought the PSC, did anybody know this?
They so graciously offered that I could order a new gift card as a one time exception and they would refund it if I gave them the order number. I did that, and now they say they can't give me the refund until I actually receive the order. Ugh, just so many hoops to jump through. This must've been a mistake on their end.

Amazon sucks more often than not. They didn't explain this in the promo, so I'm sure nobody did it.
I had to prove that they had offered the gift card, by way of a screen shot (that I'd only taken b/c initially I was going to price match Best Buy). Once I did this, they explained that this was a known issue. They ended up crediting my account with $25.
I might order one for christmas since the hacking community seems to be in full swing. So what is recommended to get with it, a normal USB flash drive? Is there some sort of limitation or recommendation on how big to go?
There are some discreet/unobtrusive models available these days.
100%. This is me with my fully modded NES Mini, SNES Mini, Wii w/ HD, 3DS w/ Sky3DS+, DS w/ R4, GBA w/ Flash cart, and a personally curated Retropie. I have literally spent dozens of hours setting them all up, and no real interest in actually playing them.
They managed to remove the forced bilinear filtering on games

Here's the list of compatible ones, anything over 64gb requires special formatting though

They work but have to have a separate power source and some certain formatting requirements
That's huge and my biggest complaint about the Classic. I'll have to try that tonight.
Best Buy
Edit: I'll be passing one today so we'll see.
Edit2: Worked, but only because my online order didn't show the original serial number so they just waived it. I just kept quiet.

Ok bumped up from 28 to 42 games and they are all working decently(it was quick too, I copied over the old bleemsync, same version, and added just the new game's so all my saves stayed intact) personally I've had no isssues with performance on any of the games(turned off frame skipping that'd it) and have been having a great time and actually playing them

Yep, I'm now at 47 and all games I tried so far are working well enough for me.
The only game that has shown issues was Diablo, that's it.
I also found a old 1.0 usb hub in my stuff that's working fine for the controllers too
OP
OP
Yeah, about that, any working cheap USB hub on the market I could buy and use for this?
I did check amazon but ain't sure which to pick, also, most are too big or have too many ports for my need.
Well if you're using it for the controllers any non powered 2.0 or even 1.0 hub should work, 4 slot would be wise as you need the spacing

Thanks for the advice, I pretty much have this on lock. Should do the job fine I think.
Now to buy enough stuff to have free shipping. :lol
I have seen these sold at 75$ on Amazon, 65 € on Ebay. Prices are going to lower even more. Such a commercial failure, thankfully there are hacks.
59.98 € at Gamestop Italy too. This thing flopped hard.

Would it be possible to get light gun games like Point Blank or Time Crisis running on this thing? Is there any particular peripheral that people recommend?
Lightgun games only worked with CRTs if I remember it right.
