Playstation Classic & Project Eris Complete Guide

[@silverneon4675]

The moment I found a PS Classic for less than $20 at a thrift store, I immediately got it modded with this and I love it all so far!

[@suarezanthony375]

Lol i also found a ps classic for like 20 just today, glad we both got a hold of these

[@DarkLatexKing]

i found a ps1 classic for 7 bucks at the thrift store... Needs deep cleaning

[@shldnfr]

I bought mine from Best Buy for $15 six months after its release.

[@lastlime3792]

Help? PlayStation classic mini. Copied files to new flash drive(microsd) and loads files but control doesn’t allow me to pull up retroarch menu(save/close...). Old flash drive I can press start+select on controller, but new flash drive doesn’t work.

hello from south africa blaine. my english isnt the best...but in anycase...just want to thnk u soooo much. i know almost nothing about computers...and you made it so simple that even i can do it. i pulled my ps classic out of my cupboard and did what u said on the video step by step....my son is now a very happy little man thanks to u !!!! keep up the great work my friend !!!!

Used your guide for the PS3 and now the PS Classic. You are the legend

[@MsNIKITA]

One of the FIRST things I did to my PSPC is to short the resisters on the board to ground, disabling the current limitations on the front USB ports. Anyone attempting this will need a soldering iron, the process takes seconds. After this, you can use USB 3.0 drives in the port without any issues.

[@xKB616]

Found a PS Classic at a dollar store awhile back discounted to $25 brand new. It was fun to mess with for awhile but now it just sets on a shelf looking pretty 😎

[@katomala]

Just want to say thanks for the most detail guide, compare to other videos I have seen yours by far the most straight forward. Now my kids can enjoy playing emulation on it.

[@Ninjabread01]

2:37 Note for anyone STILL having this problem, it worked in reverse for me. I got that error after formatting the drive to exFAT ahead of time, and fixed it by formatting the drive to NFTS. This was after re-formatting it to exFAT twice, NTFS fixed it for whatever reason contrary to what is said in the video. So try both.

I can confirm keeping a backup of Project Eris on the PC is a lifesaver. I was messing with settings trying to fix some missing text for a game I was playing and I ended up messing everything up to where Project Eris would no longer boot. I thought I was going to have to start over and lose my saves but I was able to copy the files over easily that were missing and get it working again. Made it so much easier

Awesome to see this new guide right now. i got a new ps clasic for $25 and want to mod it and blamo your vidoe showed up. Your guides are the best.

[@alexn8345]

That was pretty smooth how you named your flashdrive to Subscribe. I completely forgot about my ps classic. I need to do this and actually use it.

[@davidgill7412]

Nice to see you covering this, however I highly recommend Autobleem. The most recent version has OTG support as well as Bluetooth and Wifi. The best feature to me is the much better interface. A new version of Autobleem is about to release soon. I used to use Project ERIS but I switched over when Autobleem had the same features.

[@JohnnyProctor9]

I prefer the stock GUI, I might switch over if using it were an option...

[@davidgill7412]

@@JohnnyProctor9 it is. In one of the Autobleem options you can switch from Evolution UI (Autobleem) to Legacy UI (Sony PS Classic).

[@JohnnyProctor9]

@@davidgill7412 - Well switching over from a 2A power supply to a 2.4A power supply entirely fixed the load time issue that I was having with Project Eris. Now I'm unsure whether I want to bother switching over to AutoBleem or not, since I'm still having issues getting 3DO and arcade games to play on Project Eris and I have yet to find a ScummVM core compatible with it. Any advice about switching from Project Eris or BleemSync over to AutoBleem? Is it safe and easy to do? Are the controls for DOSBox, and 3DO and arcade emulators easy to set up for it and does it have a working, up-to-date ScummVM core available for it?

I followed all the steps and whenever I plug in the usb it doesn’t show project Eris, I’ve tried the same thing for autobleem and it still doesn’t show up.

[@jonlenin1977]

The only part that I didn't get is were are these rom files and were can I get them from since there are none in the games files and I don't have any installed on my pc? Overall the video was great and was really easy to do except the part with the rom files, but still a great video thanks!

[@capybaraqueen4505]

Great guide. Wish you told us where to find the system bios folder tho 😕. There's several folders called system and you didn't really help narrow it down.

[@dripusmaximus]

Yeah i didnt get it either

[@burningbroad]

When you get the error in Guiformat simply close all windows and try again. The error occurs because file explorer is open and the usb is classed as in use.

Project Eris is a buggy mess that crashes all the time. I uninstalled it and went back to *Autobleem* . Much more satisfied with Autobleem's performance. Now my PS Classic hardly ever freezes or crashes. But with Project Eris it was constantly crashing when switching games or apps. Autobleem is just more stable. and that does matter.

[@emarti3419]

Based on the vid, I see that you use the 2nd USB port for most of the file copying. Once the classic is modded, can you use the splitter cable that you recommended in the NES & SNES classic vid? Or is the only way for roms to be seen have to be in the 2nd USB port?

[@300ZXCRAZE]

Question, can you save your game's progress? Also can you use rewind features like other emulators? Last question, what websites to use to dl games? Thanks!

[@davidgill7412]

To answer your questions: 1. Yes, you can save your progress. Normally through the virtual Memory Card and from resume point (save state) when you exit the emulator or press reset. 2. You can use rewind if you run your games through RetroArch. Both Project ERIS and Autobleem give you the option to do this. 3. I can't officially recommend a site, but if you Google a "archive" I'm sure you will find what you are looking for.
