The problem with it for me is even with it being a nice emulator I still don't feel comfortable buying it when Sony didn't put in the proper work by themselves.

The Playstation Classic has reached a point now that it's a greater (and simpler) emubox than the Raspberry Pi 3.

I would like to know this too.
Read mixed things about compatibility of certain sticks and basically just want the biggest I can get. If possible one of those small ones that don't stick out much too.
Honestly all I want to do with mine is load a decent emulator and non-shitty versions of the games on. Glad the fans were able to deliver on what Sony failed to do.
(and maybe, of course, load it with more games after I have legally purchased and ripped them)

If it can run PGXP mode then probably.
Not sure if retroarch can do that on the PS3, I have to check. It's supposed to be best on vulkan though. It works great on my PC.
The base rebug ps1 emulation shouldn't be too hard to match I think.
Are you able to access the emulator settings easier than the original emulator where you needed a specific keyboard?
Why would anyone play the psp port of SFA 3 when the arcade version is perfect?

Is retroarch still being updated for the PS3? If it is, then probably not.
As someone who owns both, I won't be going back to the playstation TV personally outside of Vita games. More options available for this device and better shader support.
All of the settings are accessible through retroarch via regular controllers, so yes.
Better and more options for most systems, there may be some PSP games that'd work better on the vita.
Messing around with some of the shaders right now, unfortunately my phone doesn't like my TV too much, so I'll just post a couple of my favorites. Namely sharp bilinear
Shader gives razor sharp pixel edges.
And the other is a classic, but good ol' scanlines.
Both images look overly dark due to my phone, but on my tv? As beautiful as you could ever get from a GBA game stretched that large.
Thanks for the quick reply! Really bummed about the second response. I'm so particular about these things. I need the Classic UI with folder ability. I got hundreds of gigs ready to go if that feature ever gets done.
yes, decided to just cancel my classic due to the questions around the USB port. Plus i don't feel like using a power brick with some usb cable.
I grabbed myself a new shield tv, a 128GB stick and the vertical stand. I heard the shield TV can emulate dolphin.....like damn, thats a hell of a set top box.

Ooo just picked up one in Canada for $30.00, which is $100.00 off for us. This all sounds great to me.
I wonder if Sony is even sorry for how badly they fucked up the PS Classic.
And I wonder if it's going to become another PSTV situation now that the homebrew scene is making it more appealing, being given away now and rare and expensive when the stock runs out.

Is there a simple, complete dummies tutorial on how to install all this stuff?
I did the SNES Classic just fine. I'm only another year older but my dumb ass couldn't work out a thing on how to do it with the PS Classic.

1) I think we all know the answer is no. I suspect Sony looked at sales and just thought, "Huh, guess people aren't that interested in these old PS1 games!"
2) Probably. Part of the PSTV's aftermarket popularity is because the Vita hacking community has been pretty active over the years. I don't know that the PS Classic will ever do much more than it does now, but that may be enough!

For ps1 games, it's as easy as formatting a USB key called SONY and installing autobleem onto it and putting your bin/cue/pbp into a directory called Games.
glad i grabbed one for $40, no doubt they'll finally dump them for cheaper but it felt like a good deal
PSP emulation sounds good, wonder how it does with Neo Geo until i can afford that

So what you're saying is that the Playstation Emulator itself has been replaced? I was never particularly interested when folks were adding more games because if the emulation was still trash it wasn't worth the time.

Haven't tried it yet, but absolutely no reason why Neo Geo won't be golden. PSP emulation has been great from what I've tried so far. Unfortunately I'm limited till I can take the time to figure out how to dump PSP games from my vita (my PSP is dead, but I was mostly digital so I can get them on vita no problem).
Of the games I've tried on both, there is much less slowdown on the PSC. Games like Chrono Cross, Mega Man Legends, amongst the ones I've tried that had issues on PSTV.
Unfortunately, the PSC doesn't have bluetooth support, so you'd have to buy the 8bitdo adapter right now, and maybe off the shelf bluetooth adapters can work down the line.
The default emulator is PCSX Rearmed, which is still the predominant emulator used in these exploits. The difference is that the exploits use a newer version and one that's better optimized for the hardware. The difference is pretty stark.
Does the USB still need to be 2.0? I recall the list of supported USB sticks being really finicky at first.
Are you using an 8 GB? It's the only one I see listed in that compatibility document, so I wondered if all Cruzers were good or just the 8 GB.
OP
OP
I've seen reports of all cruisers up to 128GB working. I'm using a 16GB right now
I'm using a 64gb Cruzer. It's all good.

Is this the one you used or could recommend?
Everything I read said the A35 in this had a bit *less* juice than the A53 in the Pi. And the GPUs were roughly comparable (perhaps a slight edge to the PS classic).
Googling this still finds me the same answer...that the Pi's A53 has more power.
One of the reasons I didn't bother. That and the not-dualshock controllers. I'd have bought for $99 with a USB or wireless dualshock or two.

Couple of idiotic questions.
1. Given that I am literally only interested in a PS1 box, does this mean I can rip my extant games (Skullmonkeys, Klonoa et al) to BIN/CUE, drop them on a USB 2.0 stick with the payload, plug in, switch on and play? I have no interest in emulating anything else besides PS1.
2. Will I lose access to the built-in games?

If I could use my 8bitdo SNES controller on it I would be in, but I just can't with those PSX controllers.
My main concern with opting for this thing over a RPi is going to be long-term support. While PS Classics are cheap and plentiful support will be solid, but in a year or so when Sony stops selling them, how many developers are still going to be keeping emulators updated and whatnot? There's also no WiFi support for things like netplay or auto-scraping or updating RetroArch, there's no Bluetooth controller support, so I dunno. There's a lot of downsides to the PS Classic as an emulator machine compared to a Pi or similar device.
