I'm sorry to ask but I can't find it anywhere:
Where is that Google Drive sheet with a list of compatible thumbdrives?
Edit: Found it.

PlayStation Classic |OT| Also Emulates 90's Europeans Envy Toward US Products

I'm copying over 30 games to that exact USB drive as I type this.
OP

I'm playing Xenogears on it right now, 7 hours in.
Runs pretty well so far, only time I notice slowdowns is at the end of a fight when the exp gets in, the music slows down a bit.
I'm guessing the Micro USB port on the back acts only as a power source, and not as a communication port?
Basically, curious if I can plug a USB hub into the back to still deliver power and also house the USB drive for Bleemsync, or if the USB drive has to be plugged into one of the front ports.

I can't recall where I saw this, but I think the New Year's update for Bleem Sync is purported to be opening up the rear USB port for data.
Well that and the SNES library holds up amazingly, and the spread in the SNES Classic is a pretty good approximation of its best games. There's a couple missing here and there, but you can't go wrong with the selection.
I actually don't mind the lineup for the PS1, but obviously a lot of people do, and the emulation issues and overall shoddiness didn't help matters. It's also much harder imo to compile a definitive lineup for a PS1 Classic because the system was different things to different people (not that the included lineup comes close, Rainbow Six, really?).
for what it's worth that happened when I was playing a purchased psn copy on my vita
Does anyone know much about the USB hub situation for this? Which hubs are compatible, if USB 3.0 works, etc?
Mind if I ask if you had to put any unique code on Bleem Sync in order for it to work? Or what your port situation was like? Did you put the hub in slot 2 with the thumb drive + 1 controller in the USB hub?
Will try tomorrow. $35 is low enough for me even if it falls lower.
Best idea is to buy a bunch of other cheap stuff along with it so that when you price match and use the cartwheel coupon they don't notice.
My sentiment exactly. I was in for $100 until the PAL issue arose, personally. Once I saw I could easily add my own games to it and that $30-40 price tag, I got in my car.
Only if you want to use 2 controllers at once with a thumb drive.
Depends on the drive, the port is apparently power limited to 100mA so any stick that draws more than that needs a powered hub.
Oh nice! Haha! I saw a video earlier that said something about 35 games but it seemed like a pretty old video.
No, it has a 40% cartwheel discount OR you can pricematch other stores to get it for $59.99... sometimes the store will let you do both things but it's YMMV.
Tried to stack the coupon with price match yesterday and the rep didn't allow it. It scanned as full price instead of 59.99.
hmmm I may try it today but if it is not working then I am not interested.
Didn't the retail price of the Classic go down to 59.99 everywhere. I get the issue with the cartwheel app but it seems like Target shot themselves in the foot here if they still have 40% and the retail price is now 59.99
Cancelled my pre-order because it was absolutely not worth the $100 to me, I was very much considering the $60, but with the Target trick I was pretty on board with getting one for $35, so I did.
So if I want to play different .iso titles I can't put them into the console, I'd have to have a flash drive hanging out of one of the USB/controller ports on the front?
Also I have read about people just straight up using a different emulator in the console altogether and scrapping the one it uses natively to have it run better? Is this accurate? I'm torn between keeping it authentic and the quality of emulation.
Edit:
My Target allowed it. Mileage may vary depending on how much the employees care I guess.

Didn't work out at my Target but I grabbed it for $60 anyway. I'm a real big PS1 enthusiast and even with the shortcomings I'm just filled with a nice nostalgic sense with this thing, and of course I'm gonna hack it to hell and back with some of my favorites.
I REALLY hope this happens.you can do it with the Snes classic I believe
Nice, I just grabbed the same USB drive but 64gb. £9 from Amazon! Gonna pack it.
Grabbed mine today! Sandisk Cruzer Blades are weirdly next to impossible to find in my area, but according the the list of compatible drives in that Google Doc, the WD 32GB Easystore works just fine. Can't complain for $8. Already spent yesterday ripping my discs (Bin/cue should work fine, right?), so hopefully getting Bleemsync up and running goes without a hitch.
Also, I've gotta say, as someone that regrettably didn't do a good job of keeping my console boxes until around the start of the PS3/Wii/360 generation, I love that the classic consoles go out of their way to recreate the aesthetic of the original packaging.

Did you just pricematch and then cartwheel coupon? If so I know what I'm doing tonight.
Edit: Looks like Cartwheel coupon is dead and it's just $59.99 in store now.
Hmm. I have the coupon in my app right now and I'm planning on heading over to Target in an hour. I'm going to give it a try since I stand to reclaim about $40.
I can not believe I have to buy an adapter in order to play this. What a joke. And no I do not own one already cause I do not own any smartphones.
What does the coupon say, I'll search for it in my app.
Edit: I can find it on the website but it doesn't have a barcode. When I try to open it in the target app it tells me it's unavailable.

For anyone still unable to use wired DS4 this fixed it for me. Now works fine in RA but no rumble support atm.

I added it to my cart in the Cartwheel app last night. I wonder if they removed it? I'm hoping I can still use it when I go over there. It says it is only for in-store so I'll head to the video game department and try it out.
Edit: Cartwheel app merged back into the default Target app.
Yeah, I've got it on "the website" so I might try it that way and act dumb. If they go with it, rad, if they don't I'm not gonna push it.
Once we have a public release to update the flash, I wonder how much work it would be to roll an updated version of the emulator to also support ds3 & ds4 support with sticks & rumble.
Huh. Can't seem to get BleemSync to load on the stick. Maybe I need to format it with a different program.
Format it fat32 and make sur it's labeled 'SONY'. I'd also say on first boot give it a few mins to start (the stick I use is old and I get stuck waiting a minute to boot).
Already did the first few things. I'll try waiting on boot, though.
Still not working. Guess I'm not touching this until games can be loaded directly onto this, because I'm not buying another USB stick.
