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

Or you could install BleemSync 1.1 which patches the PS Classic firmware to support OTG adapters. It works even if you use AutoBleem or Retroboot alone.
That's for the front port. It works without having to patch the PS Classic.
The OTG adapter is for the micro USB port so that you leave the front ports free.
No, autobleem is 100% self contained on the memory card. Bleemsync modifies the console firmware a little bit, but also won't touch the internal games or saves.
Hey guys I have a quick question...just getting started here. Are all of the stock games on the PSC bad in some way or another, or just the 9 that are PAL? Using Autobleem, do I need to replace them all with better ROMs or does Autobleem automatically fix them?

I would say only the PAL ones are truly worse. Also, AutoBleem does not automatically fix anything. You will need to supply it with your own replacement NTSC ROMs.
Curious. I pasted the same question on reddit and got someone claiming Autobleem does fix them somehow. I wish I could find some kind of documentation.
There was an option to run 50Hz games at 60Hz even in the stock emulator but it was hidden. It's possible that Autobleem automatically enables it but I read somewhere that it isn't a perfect solution.
I see, that makes sense.
In case this helps anyone else (since I've been dicking around with this shit for the past two days)...
In order to enable Dualshock capabilities using a DS4 with an 8bitdo wireless adapter, currently you need to:
- Load Retroarch (Either through Autobleem, Retroboot, or whatever)
- Hold the SELECT+UP buttons (Share+Up on the DS4) for 3 seconds to put the adapter into "X-INPUT" mode, whatever the fuck that is
- Start Game
- Press SELECT+START (Share+Options on the DS4)
- Scroll down to game OPTIONS
- Change Controller Type from STANDARD to DUALSHOCK
- Create Config File using option at the top to save changes
Does Retroboot/Retroarch have any kind of theme or cover art customization? I want to switch from Autobleem now that it seems like Retroarch is the only way I can currently get Dualshock capability.
P.S. the 8bitdo wireless adapter really doesn't play nice with the stock PS Classic or Autobleem. Besides not recognizing Dualshock capabilities of the DS4, the PSC in Autobleem recognizes the 8bitdo adapter as a keyboard and adds an obtrusive mouse-cursor to the upper-left corner of the screen that you can only hide temporarily with an awkward button-combination every time you open a new game. So fucking annoying.

Oh damn, I didn't realize you can launch games into Retroarch from the Autobleem frontend by pressing Square. So I can just do that for the games that utilize Dualshock. But I still have to switch the 8bitdo adapter from X-Input back to PS Classic Mode when returning to Autobleem because Autobleem gets all confused and flustered by X-Input and now my DS4 / 8bitdo adapter is going fucking berserk with rapidly repeating directional presses for no reason. WHY

I acquired everything recommended by MadLittlePixel on YouTube and am beginning to wonder if he isn't the most thorough tester. As I'm running Autobleem 0.7.1, I'm having issues at various points. Here's the list of everything he uses:
OTG Adapter: https://amzn.to/2YRhuS1
256gb Drive: https://amzn.to/2YhULxQ
8Bitdo Adapter: https://amzn.to/2SKdIaA
PS Classic Case: https://amzn.to/2XDdbZA
SO now I'm running into issues where stuff isn't working half of the time and I have some questions:
-Are USB 3 memory sticks (such as the one linked above) working on the PS Classic now? Back when I was using Autobleem 0.5, you had to use a USB 2 stick because 3's would draw too much power. Seems like people are under the impression that changed? I bought that 256GB Samsung and half the time it works and half the time it does not. Meanwhile, my old USB2 64GB stick works every single time.
-When autobleem 0.7.1 doesn't load, I get the normal PS Classic UI with the stock games, but after a few seconds, the screen goes black. This makes me wonder if its a power draw issue with either the USB stick, the OTG adapter, or both. Also running into issues where the OTG adapter doesn't seem to be working as I can't reliably get USB2 or 3 reading through it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Back when I was using a USB2 with Autobleem 0.5, I could get everything working every time. The only problem was that my stick was 64GB so I couldn't fit everything on there that I wanted to. The whole point of getting that 256GB Samsung stick was to have every game I could want on there and be done with it. No need to ever swap out roms to make room, etc. Is the dream dead? I'm just not sure what to do at this point. Seems like a lot of people are having success with Autobleem 0.7.1 but I've had nothing but hassle so far.

USB 3 sticks should work at USB 2 speeds but only if you connect them to an OTG adapter and you HAVE to install Bleemsync's custom kernel before running Autobleem. Autobleem doesn't modify the internal memory so it doesn't have OTG support by itself.
If nothing works maybe try a powered USB hub?
Thanks. This is the first I've heard of needing that custom kernel. What's that process like? And where can I find it?
Follow the first guide "How to install from fresh (Including OTG setup)". Steps 1 to 13.
Afterwards you can turn off the console, insert a new USB drive with Autobleem, or format the drive you were already using and copy the Autobleem files there.
After installing the kernel you can format your drive to extfat or NTFS instead of FAT32 because the new kernel supports those file systems.
Or you could keep using Bleemsync considering you already did all the steps to install it.
I'm trying to get the game covers to appear on Bleemsync. I followed the steps in the Bleemsync tutorial online but I'm still not seeing them. Am I supposed to take the cover images and place them in each game's respective folders after I unzip the files into the "cover" folder. I was under the impression that it somehow did it all automatically but it would make more sense if I had to assign covers to games.
edit: figured it out. I fucked up and did the covers after the games I uploaded. I added some more games and their covers showed up. Don't put the cart before the horse, folks.

The Dualshock 4? Though you'll need the 8bitdo adapter and afaik, you have to mod it to make the sticks work, but that would be true with any controllers I believe.
If Autobleem isn't booting (just getting the stock UI) can it still be an issue with the type of USB stick I'm using if I AM in fact seeing an LED come on on the drive indicating it IS drawing power?
I did it yesterday. Basically I did some research and thought the best option would be Retroboot. It doesn't change anything on the device itself, boots off a USB stick.
It really just involves putting files on a stick, naming and formatting it properly, plugging it in on the second USB stick and done. It will boot straight into retroarch and you can play the pre installed games immediately.
At this stage you basically have just a different interface to the games carousel that the device comes with.
The actual benefit is that the emulation of psx will be better because of a better built of pcsxe and you can add other roms easily.
I also configured fast forward yesterday to a key combination to see how fast the device can go and got >100fps on Ridge Racer which only shows how bad the emulator build from Sony was.
Hey guys, haven't messed with this since last summer and old school autobleem. Would like to upgrade what I got so what's the best program now? Hopefully it's a touch more convient and actually allows for libraries in retroarch now instead of having to find the files
I use Retroboot. It just boots into retroarch, you have the built in games immediately available and you can add roms easily. It also doesn't touch anything on the PSC itself.
Eh I kinda prefer the built in interface tho. What are the other options
Bleemsync or Autobleem are obvious ones. You're familiar with the latter I think.
Yep I just haven't updated it since.... last May or July I think. Admittedly if I did update autobleem then I don't have to redo the games I've added
edit: turns out there's a retroboot add on for autobleem, that could work. What's the perks?

Ok so here's what I'm going with, plan to update it this afternoon with the newest autobleem and the retroboot add on so I can hopefully get the best of both worlds. As I use it for a good chunk of ps1 games and some convience for a couple other systems too. Will give update when finished
Ok so copied over and almost everything works... except my added PS games don't show up in the main autobleem menu. They show up in retroarch but not there despite the fact the games are being scanned
Edit: if I had to guess how game folders work was changed but there's not an explanation of how to fix it

Autobleem is dead but the mod my classic guys have the new project eris and the biggest thing is it has a desktop interface like hachki coming down the line

I may wait to update till that's out
I've seen this posted before, but if you're getting an OTG for your PS Classic, make sure you get one where the USB is on a wire and rests comfortably on the ground. I got one of those L-shaped ones (so the USB is "floating" in the air) and I think the pressure it's putting on the power jack is starting to damage it. My system reset on me when I accidentally moved it when adjusting the (very short) cord on my controller.
