The Playstation Classic has reached a point now that it's a greater (and simpler) emubox than the Raspberry Pi 3.
- Thread starter Inugami
- Start date
I was able to use the Mayflash Magic-NS wirelessly with a Dualshock 4. Worked great through the front ports and through a powered USB, as well as using an OTG cable.
I've had this since launch and I think it's finally time to mod it, as well as my SNES classic. I've got a two pack of OTG adapters in my cart. Any recommended USB drives for either of the consoles?
Sandisk. However, getting a micro sd card reader that does USB 2.0 along with a micro sd card would work the best.
Can someone explain to me how to get a cfg file to actually save when you start up a game on bleemsync 1.1? The only youtube video is out of date, and the steps I've tried don't seem to work.
What I've done
1) access secret menu (select and triangle)
2) go to options, change to romw
3) save global cfg
4) reset game, it works fine
5) reset, save game
6) attempt to load game from menu, cfg has to be reset
Not sure what I'm doing wrong :|
Also in bleemsync 1.1 how do you manually add games without the transfer tool? I ask because Rhapsody won't transfer, and I want to split the strider games into two different options.

Thanks! I'll grab a couple of microSD cards along with card readers for both.
Which software would be the best between Bleemsync, Autobleem and Retroarch if I wanted to use this purely for running PS1 games as closely as possible to the originals?
I will be adding all of my NTSC rips and would like them to run as well and as accurately as possible (I'm not bothered about 2x resolution etc).
Thanks

I played through Legend of Mana without any problems on my ps classic using autobleem
It you're willing to put in the effort retroarch will probably give you the absolute best results. If you're a pleb like me the internal emulator and bleemsync 1.1 has been great and worked extremely well. Only game I've had issues with is parasite eve 2 and that seems like a common problem regardless of how you emulate it.
Thanks for the reply. Would Retroarch provide any advantages over the other two though in terms of pure emulation - if i'm not interested in upscaling etc?
Am I right in thinking Bleemsync can be set to use Retroarch as the emulation tool?
Yes bleemsync 1.1 also installs retroarch, you could even set it up so that you go into the original ps classic ui, but it boots the game in retroarch instead. Retroarch gives you maximum control over how a game is emulated, but it requires a lot of effort to fine tune imo and in the past I've found it crashed a lot while adjusting settings.
Ah, so Autobleem and not Bleemsync is what I should be using, thanks!
I'm finally gonna set up my Classic mainly to play Xenogears, which hack should I be looking at? Just wondering if multi-disc things were a problem.
My classic came in today and I got Bleemsync 1.1 installed. Also got an OTG Adapter and new usb stick on the way!
Quick question: I have an original Dualshock controller from the PSX era that I want to use to play Spyro, and I assume I'll need an adapter for it to work on the classic. If I get an adapter will Bleemsync recognize inputs from the dualshock along with its emulator? Any specific PS1 to USB adapter recommendations that work well?

Before switching, you might want to try changing the controller type to analog in the settings. A lot of times with PS1 games, if they don't recognize inputs it's because they happen to be particular on whether you had an analog controller plugged into the system or not.
I doubt multi disks are a problem but I do know that Xenogears has an age old issue with a late game boss fight on emulators (An attack that happens in the first fight against Deus can freeze the game), even official ones, so I would also look into that before going for it.
I was gonna pick up a PS Classic last night for $20, and saw that the Best Buy/Amazon prices had already updated before midnight. Oh well.
The only thing I have run into multi-disc wise is if you are running a game like GT2 which has different modes on different discs (disc 1 arcade mode, disc 2 simulation) then the stock emulator will always start the game using disc 1 and won't let you switch to another disc if there isn't an in-game prompt to do so (which there isn't, in games like GT2).
You can get around this by forcing a disc swap using the hidden menu, and I imagine the Retroarch side of things is probably better at this, but I haven't tried it.
Which I guess is interesting, if you are on Disc 2 of FF7, are you always going to have to boot up Disc 1 first, load your save, then get prompted for the switch? Its a bit hokey.
This thing just isn't great for me. It has some weird issue in Brave Fencer Musashi when you play the game with Retroarch where you can't absorb anything with Fusion no matter how fast you press the button. You have to sort of do slower timed presses. Wild Arms scenes are out of time with the music also. I'm gonna stick with Retroarch on PC and maybe sell this thing off.
I mean it's like $20 still on Best Buy, you not really finna get a whole lot out of selling. It at least looks pretty damn cute as a desk/entertainment center decoration. There's also the other systems you can experiment with emulation wise
I just got it and was only messing around with the included games. Primarily Tekken 3, which runs in PAL on it. I can switch it no problem, but I'd rather not every time I boot the thing up.
i'm having a issue with my Playstation Classic, plug in and get "cannot recognize controller" error message...which you need to set it up and actually, you know, play. Tried every combination of unplugging and pushing buttons, looked online and nothing. Included manual said "if controllers not recognized, press reset"...
but still didn't work... there is a solution for this?

Saw these pop up on Amazon:
Petforu True Blue Mini Pack for Playstation Classic (Crackhead Pack 64GB) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QLCMK4N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WNSmDbZWJ9Z2G
The naming is stupid

If i just want to add a few of my PS1 games (I don't think I have more than 20), access the setting to swap to NTSC and add scan lines etc., and preferrably keep it as close to default as possibl/not doing anything to the system itself, what wouldbe best to use?
So to update I got my psclassic working perfectly. Had to download a third party tool to get some games working but with it I got everything working and organized as I wanted.
I don't see any other thread for this, but I bought the PS Classic on sale at Best Buy for the sole purpose of extracting the bios and games on it for PC emulation. Could someone refer me to an easy step by step guide to do this?
Or alternatively, does something like Bleemsync come with a backup nand function where you can download and have access to the folders from an unaltered PSC nand drive?

I'm a bit lost, but what do I need to play PS1 games at full speed? I've tried out Pepsiman and Mad Panic Coaster and they seem to be a bit slower than I remember.
Bleemsync 1.1 does an auto back up of your original stuff in case something goes wrong. Use restalgia's bleemsync 1.1 clean install video on youtube to do the install or follow the steps on mod my classic.
If so, what exactly do we do to:
- Fix texture warping
- Speed up loading
- Increase resolution
- Increse framerates
- Add antialiasing
I'm thinking of grabbing one myself for similar reasons, it sounds like Autobleem might be the best and most simple solution? Can someone else chime in on this as well because I'm also curious.
Autobleem does almost everything that I want, is simple, easy, and I haven't needed anything else.
If you are using Bleemsync, look for a folder on your usb drive or micro sd card, like this:
Change the psx_clock from 39 to 54.
I added a bunch of games to transfer folder (sync not auto) and my list isn't refreshing
Pls halp
Pls halp
Autobleem does everything for you. all you need to do is drag and drop your roms into the correct folder on your usb stick and that is it.
Its ridiculously easy.
I got this one and have had no problems
slow transfer speed as only usb 2.0 but it did the job.
Really this tool is the solution to 90% of your problems with bleemsync or autobleem, it does all of the following
1) lets you customize the order of all your external games
2) trouble shoots if you have games that don't want to play correctly like the wipeout titles
3) lets you manually add games if you want to get around the scrapper. You can use this to do stuff like give strider 1/2 separate menu icons, or add a game that won't transfer (like rhapsody for me)
4) get accurate info from a data base including cover art, player count, developer/publisher, etc
The only issue is if you want to organize games around the internal games ala ff7, oddworld, or battle arena toshiden, you need to make sure you gave the (r) or tm in the name of your external games. As an example to have ff7-9 in order I need to do ff(r) viii and ff(r)viiii.
