How to Mod PlayStation Classic with Project Eris (BleemSync)!

[@darktetsuya]

Just picked up a slightly used one off of amazon... tried this method on it and it worked like a charm! Been considering getting one for a little while now but I'm glad I grabbed this one when I did!

[@roguemedic6282]

Greg, thank you! This was my first time making an emulator. All my childhood games are on a 32g thumb drive the size of a dime. I spent the morning playing rampage world tour and twisted metal 2 with my kids. Thanks for making this video.

[@robertbektas1810]

This video was so helpful. Could you do a follow up where you demonstrate how to add arcade games with project Eris?

[@GregsGameRoom]

Glad to help. I’ll look into your suggestion

[@star201189]

The animations at the end of a race in road rash on pc were classic.

[@rhuwyn]

Spiro and Crash aren't on the Classic because they released remastered trilogies of both series on PS4, Xbox One, and Switch and didn't want PS Classic to impact sales of those releases.

[@Ryan1993uk]

Spyro frame rate seemed kinda low to me, but this is super cool

[@MidwinterEclipse]

lol wtf. L

[@norbertmichalak2523]

Thanks Greg!!! i was using emulators on the pc for ages but it always was a bit.........not like it used to be. Now thanks to Your supa dupa easy tutorial i am off line for hours i assume:):):)

[@jaredklymok2719]

thanks man very good detailed video. Easy to follow and go along with modded it and was playing added games in like a hr if that

[@KongProds]

u awesome bro thanks for the tutorial, new sub, greetings from Spain!!

[@themauriciobunch2442]

The mini is not recognizing my USB drive even though I followed the instruction to the tee. I have a 32GB Sandisk driver. The PS classic just doesn't seem to even acknowledge that the drive is there.

[@vilevintagevarmints]

Same here

[@paulclooney3531]

Maybe just try a different usb and just check that it is fat32 then exfat somethings people miss these

[@ern1813]

Thanks man! Now i have even more games! Quick question: now that i can play the games i want, do i need to unplug the power, plug the usb, then plug the power cable every time i want to turn on the console?

[@ccringee9094]

You can format drives larger than 32 GB's in FAT32 format, it requires an external program that does it effortlessly without issue, im running a 128 GB 3.0 flash drive and havnt had a single issue

[@ermanmete3882]

Thx Bud For this video , very good explanation because of you i hacked my playstation...

[@timosman1408]

Great followed steps exactly, worked like a charm. You sir have another subscriber, thank you for this video!

[@GregsGameRoom]

Glad it worked!

[@DerShadow]

Nothing happens when i plug my flashdrive in...but it should be supported...

[@enthrallingusername]

Using a SanDisk 32gb USB drive and I've done what you've said but ps1 mini isn't reading USB.

No point in uploading a video if you don’t have the courtesy to answer viewers questions, right??

[@andrewproffitt8732]

Downloaded a rom for syphon filter 2 and the picture shows up and everything, but when I select it to play all I get is a black screen, does this mean that this rom isn’t going to work??

[@markdastrup2220]

Great Tutorial! I'm having ONE issue though, hopefully someone can help me out. I've followed the instructions perfectly, I've got Project Eris properly installed and added a bunch of psx roms to the transfer folder of my flash drive (I'm using a 32gb SanDisk Cruzer Glide), however when Project Eris boots none of the games are in my Carousel . . . but I can find them and access them through Retro Arch. How can I get them to show up in the Project Eris carousel?

[@ezkimo6music982]

I have the exact same fault, did you fix it?

[@mau4604]

I know I’m 2 years late, but did you ever figure it out?

[@shaky6669]

Looks like another future project. Like the Genesis Mini, it seems easy enough. just need to pull some game ROM's I like. Thinking getting alot of the Arcade classic compilations and Remakes that were fun for the system.

[@GregsGameRoom]

I like this better than AutoBleem since it supports exFAT and NTFS (meaning I can use larger than 32-gig flash drives.)

[@mkastelovic]

@@GregsGameRoom actually I'm running autobleem on 64 GB USB without any problems.

[@HangmanSwe]

I did this.. Added 60 some games, I push the power button, Eris screen loads up but then I got all the games and the 20 original ones with just a blank cover and no games work! Feels like this works for some and not for others.

[@stardewjones]

I have followed the instructions exactly. I even have an identical flash drive. It only boots the original while the usb just blinks. What am I doing wrong??

[@lightwarriors7778]

Same man, its driving me insane now. I've tried it with multiple usb drives some 2.0 some 3.0 some and both using powered hubs plugged directly into port 2 also and still it just boots into the home screen. I tried plugging in a controller after all these attempts to thinking that maybe it needed to have one plugged into port 1 to register but still nothing. I am using a Macbook pro and am curious to know if fat32 formatting is not doing so correctly. I have been using mbr partition scheme but also tried it with guid which is dumb but I can say I tried it all at least. I havnt found any solutions beyond just doing as they state and even joined the discord group for modmyclassic and still couldnt find the answers. Not sure what to do now..

[@RudyRozay]

When I insert the flash drive my ps1 blinks red and it shuts off ?

[@laureanop6355]

Rudy Rozay mine does the exact same thing. I’m not sure what to do next

[@JUGGALOKEMON]

Can you change resolutions on the games? I seen somewhere you are able to make these ps1 games run at 1080p.

[@GregsGameRoom]

You can if you are emulating it on a computer.

[@ezkimo6music982]

Great video, but for some reason my games do not import. Everything is running and all files are in the game folder, but when i switch on none are in project Eris??

[@EVega0611]

Why the need to format to fat 32 if you're just gonna have to switch to Exfat? Can't I just keep it on exfat?

[@michaelrendon2387]

Hello I have some roms but they don't have the image file included. How will I be able to get the image on file or will it be okay with bin and cue files ? Thank you

[@GregsGameRoom]

Have to have those additional files. They usually come with it

[@shibineru]

@@GregsGameRoom That's what I'm finding too with a lot of these rom download sites..they only give one file. Where did you get yours which has the multiple files?

[@Broad2020]

followed steps exactly, but my classic starts up as it allways has as if bypassing the usb stick.???

[@kevinwisdom664]

question if I filled the first flash drive what files would I need to copy before adding more rom's to the second flash drive? thanks

[@GregsGameRoom]

Pretty sure you'd need everything.

[@richardfilmer4886]

Hi, if I wanted to add more games, say I forgot to add some the first time round.... Do I just put thr USB into the PC and copy the roms to the transfer folder? TIA

At 05:05 in the video.Before u was putting back the usb stick did u turned off the playstation?Because i did and now its not working.Plus can u give me a link about how to uninstall autobleem? Thanks for the help 🙌🏻

[@HossRoss03]

VERY helpful thank you very much. Do these games boot the EUR version or the US version? Or does it depend on the rom?

David Ellgen just about to ask this myself. I got one of these at launch and I don’t want to hack it until I can put them on the internal memory and swap games that way I don’t care about having 1000s of games at once

[@GregsGameRoom]

I know you can on the Genesis Mini, but not sure for this one.

[@andyhill7273]

You could always pick up an OTG cable and just have the USB drive connected behind the console, leaving the 2nd player port free.

[@VampireKillerCrypt]

Love the video! Before I do this, my Playstation is already modded with Bleemsync, can I still do this or not?

[@GregsGameRoom]

I just wrote over mine which had Autobleem on it. But I'd recommend doing an uninstall first. There are videos out there to show you how.

[@jumpinjahoosafat]

I've followed every single step, exact same flash drive, same software from same links. None of this works at all, just goes to normal Playstation Classic

[@jumpinjahoosafat]

Follow up. Apparently waiting a full 10 seconds after unplugging everything, and another 10 after adding USB drive fixed my issue

[@joerodriguez2645]

I insert the flash drive but nothing happens have followed steps , any suggestions?

Having trouble when I add the roms. Nothing comes up on the game menu when I add the games to the transfer file and boot up the console. Could it be the roms or my flashdrive?

[@Moochachoas]

My question is do you always have to have the USB key in it for it to work?

[@GregsGameRoom]

If you set it up like this you do.

[@kylejoe8393]

So if you boot up without the flashdrive will it just be the standard classic with games and menu or does this process completely brick the console

Hello everybody, I tried to install this in my PSC but when adding the games it shows me the next message: we can't find any systems! check that your path are correct in the systems configuration file, and your game directory has at least one game with the correct extension.
