how are the timing windows on early bemani games? i would think emulation would make this an awful experienceCurious, are there any good PSOne controller to USB adapters out there that will work on the PSClassic?
I just got through ripping my Bemani games (Guitar Freaks, Pop 'n Music, Beatmania, etc), and I'd love to plug in my guitar and turntable accessories to play these badboys properly. =]
Hmm. Maybe I should get one for my Digimon World 1&3 games.
Always been wanting to rip them. Funnily enough, the Digimon 3 pal verison is superior to the NA one lol, would've bought this day 1 if it had that game.
In the NA verison, once you beat the final boss, it's over. Your save just takes you back before you beat him.
Not sure what you mean?
It's the best if you search on youtube how to do it. Just search for bleemsync 1.0. it's quite easy to do.
The current mods do not mess with the default games or even software. Autobleem doesn't install anything that I'm aware of, and Bleemsync only installs drivers (for exFAT support) and a small exploit package. Otherwise all of the games are run off of the USB you're using.Once modded you retain all the default installed games, right? I wouldn't want to lose R4 for example.

i always used the radioshack usb <- ps2 adapter with my popn and iidx controllers
Yes, with a couple caveats. Right now, the system looks specifically for the playstation classic controller to work in the default menu. Also you either need to use a USB cable or buy an 8bitdo adapter since the device has no built in bluetooth.Is there a way to play it with a PS4 controller or maybe an xbox one controller?
Wouldn't you put all of the append discs with the main game and just keep a note of which disc is which when you switch to it?If you're using BleemSync you'll put both the base disc and the Append disc as the same game in your menu. It'll be a space waster since you'll have to have the base duplicated across a bunch of Appendices but that's how you'd have to do it to get the Switch Disc/Open feature to work. I'm sure there's some less space-hoggy way of doing it in RetroArch, though.
Got this one but the 32 GB version and it's not working, unlucky I guess..?That's almost the exact one I have. B35 vs G35. Not sure what the difference is.

^This one works great though.
Generally RetroArch has support for cheats and usually you can download them within RA but as the Classic doesn't have internet access, you cannot download them. I also don't know if it's prepackaged for the Classic but you should be able to enter codes manually AFAIR.

Ah, yep. Forgot about that one!or:
- Use an externally-powered USB hub in the front port, then stick your USB drive into that.
I guess there's a chance you found a USB3+ version? The amazon listings are really bad, it's almost impossible to tell.
I'm sure you've done this, but make sure the drive is formatted and labeled right.
Other options:
- Solder mod.
- Wait for BleemSync 1.1 and use an OTG adapter on the back port.
I made sure it was a usb 2.0 listing but it says compatible with usb 2.0/3.0 on the package it came in.or:

Did you make sure you were on controller one? I fucked up and changed controller 4 a couple of timesHoping someone can help me with something.
So I installed bleemsync and it's mostly been great except a few issues.
Main one bothering me at the moment is I'm trying to play wwe no mercy on n64 but I can't for the life of me get the n65 stick mapped or work out what I'm doing wrong.
For no mercy you need the stick to taunt and do your special yet using my ps4 dualshock it just mimics the dpad. Tried changing the controller mapping but not haf any luck. Just want to map my left stick as the n64 stick.
I should have been on 1.Did you make sure you were on controller one? I fucked up and changed controller 4 a couple of times
What? Mine literally shows c buttons and everything. Played no mercy last night. Send me a pm and I'll try to walk you through itI should have been on 1.
Its just a little confusing in the settings with x+, x- etc.
All I wanna say do is play no mercy lol.
Thanks, just sent you a message.What? Mine literally shows c buttons and everything. Played no mercy last night. Send me a pm and I'll try to walk you through it
You could use something like this if you wanted composite input for your CRT but I feel it would look pretty average, and you wouldn't get better input latency due to the HDMI decoding being done either way.
Hoping someone on ResetEra can help me.
Using Windows 7 and followed Mr. Mario's Youtube explanation here verbatim, in the right order, bought the same USB flash drive he uses and I cannot get the Bleemsync UI website to load. I've tried both the http://169.254.215.100:5000 and the BleemsyncUI.com shortcut. I used Google Chrome of course, I'm not a monster.
My installation of Bleemsync seemed to be successful, down to getting the Bleem install link and having my PSClassic flash the right colors (though it eventually flashed red the first time I tried to access the UI host, switching ports seemed to do the trick). I saw someone on Reddit recommend waiting for the windows device updates to finish. I did that too (though the last windows update was unsuccessful?).
I'm not sure what my options are. I've tried starting from scratch and doing it over but I still got stuck at the same exact point. I also tried following another comment's step by step suggestion of when to plug in the micro USB, when to plug in the USB flash drive, etc.
I also tried turning off my firewalls and doing it again. Still nothing.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
I'll give it a go and report back. Thank you!I use a program instead of the website since the website never worked for me. When i get home in about an hour i can link you if no one has helped you by then
Edit: this is the program i use
https://github.com/pascl/pbPSCReAlpha/releases
It should have instructions on the program itself
Looks like the directions (in the Readme within the program) don't really tell you how to add games to your USB. Do you need to create a Game folder on the USB? Do you have a website or video that walks you through it? There are some very, very bare bones instructions in this reddit thread but tons of steps are missing.I use a program instead of the website since the website never worked for me.

Thanks in advance. I wish I wasn't struggling so much with this. It's a shame that the BleemSyncUI website doesn't work for so many people. I wish I could figure out what the problem is.
Thank you so much. My only question is this:I can help you. Sorry it took me a while to figure it out:
1. On your USB Drive (Named SONY), create a folder named games
2. Open the program and on the top right click browse.
3. Go to your USB and then use the "games" folder in your usb
4. Back to the program, click the "New" button and it should create a folder inside "games" labeled as the number 1.
5. Drag your ISO/Bin into the folder
6. Click the refresh tab in the program
7. Your files should show up on the numbered list on the left, if not click "Add files" near the bottom (pictured)
8. Click "Edit game. ini+picture"
9. Search your game on the bottom and and double click the game and all the information should pop up (Pictured below)
10. Click the arrows pointing to the left to copy the information/picture and then save
11. Then at the bottom I click the buttons under "Auto rename" until all the check marks turn green
12. If for some reason the Bin or Cue is red, click "edit cue file", click "copy bin filename" and then it should fix itself
13. click "Recreate Database" on the bottom left. You should get a prompt that tells you that it's okay to remove your usb and then your name game(s) should appear on your classic
I hope this helps! Sorry If I made it more confusing but I really hope this works for you
Thank you so much. My only question is this:
In that Mr.Mario guide video I was instructed to format my USB stick to 32fat or whatever. I then loaded my Bleem files and successfully installed BleemSync onto the PSClassic (at least I saw the install screen). After that, he had you format the USB stick a second time (this time exfat) and then put the Bleem files on the USB stick again.
The problem with this is that I could not edit this format of the USB stick with pbPSC. Windows said there was an error with the stick and suggested I "scan and fix it" which I did.
Now I don't see a Bleem start up screen when I power up my PSClassic with the USB drive in. Was I supposed to still see that screen? Should I start over and reformat my USB stick and reinstall Bleem?
