[@TheViolentDesign]

I used bleemsync and it kept giving me errors on my USB 3.0 drive when syncing games over but I found a work around by using a USB 2.0 16GB flash drive. Loaded what I could onto the 16GB one, copied all the contents into a folder on my pc, then deleted the large game files from the flash drive. This would keep them in the library, but would give it room to add more since the game files themselves weren't taking up all the room. Rinse and repeat until I had all the games I could fit on a 128GB drive and copied it over from desktop folder to the 3.0 and it works fine in the PS Classic. It's sort of a pain if you want to change games but I have nearly everything I'd want to play on it so not super worried about it. I don't think it's an issue with the classic, it may just be something with the programs as some of my 2.0 flashdrives didn't register ether. Nice thing about bleemsync was it also found all the cover art and added info the North American titles automatically while still letting you add your own which I had to for other region games.***Using a 128GB sandisk ultra fit USB 3.1 drive for low footprint jutting out***

This is kind of off topic, but I hope Nintendo makes a Gamecube classic. I miss playing the Gamecube with my cousin as a kid.

Even though I have a Wii that can play Gamecube games and I have a couple of games, I still would get for nostalgia.

Imo no price is worth buying a buggy product with PAL games that run slower than you're familiar with. This proves to me that Sony isn't worth supporting because they no longer care about their products or the console war. Especially after not only ignoring cross platform play, but also locking games with that capability behind their own console itself. Not even worth it for $.50.

[@YourPlayer2]

Forgive me if I’m speaking incorrectly here, but does the debug menu allow you to compensate for this? I thought I remembered someone mentioning that. As far as crossplay goes, I agree! They may be able to get away with it now but I think it’ll hurt them in the long run as more lifestyle or games-as-service titles gain prevalence and being together gamers from different platforms. Thanks for watching, Peter!

@RJ Cox Who cares? Play with your friends, not hackers. Friends are for that, to play fair.

[@songanon]

So for the stuttering issue, I've done some research and found a fix. Basically, the USB ports on the ps1 classic are limiting how much power they draw. The classic is USB 2.0 however they limit power to about 200mA. A USB 2.0 can use up too 500mA and a USB 3.0 can use up too 900mA. So what causes USB Flash drives to use power and how do 2.0 drives still work? For one a light and bigger storage will cause more power draw. So a USB 2.0 with no light and at 128gb max should be fine. With this lower power draw, you can stop the drive from hitting a power limit. But if you want the full benefits of USB 2.0 speeds, I've seen people use micro sd card readers since they use far less power almost 100-200mA! Let's say you want bigger storage or have a USB 3.0 drive laying around? (3.0 flash drives never hit 900mA, that's more for external HDD and other power-hungry devices)(Also you won't get any speed benefits of USB 3.0 since the port is still only 2.0). You Could do the Current Limiter Removal Mod. This mod requires you to short the two resistors that determine the current that gets output to the port by soldering some metal wire to bridge the resistors, negating the power limiter from doing its job. However to do so you would need to solder and that isn't practical to anyone, but honestly, it's a very easy and quick solder. But for my money and ease of use, The best two solutions is the sd card reader and one more way.That way is to get a powered USB hub. Meaning you plug the hub into the classic and the hub has its own power source, allowing you to bypass all of this. This will also allow you to add a second controller for two-player. (but for performance tweaking you would have to test which ports and which hubs one or two etc...)

[@songanon]

Also as a side note for the mod, It's not a one time short so you can't just use a screwdriver to touch them and call it a day. It must always be shorting hence a permanent solution is necessary.

[@YourPlayer2]

Wow great video, I’ve been collecting the PS3 PS1classics for years and almost got them all and then I’ve got physical ps1 games that aren’t otherwise on the Digital Store but if this was available a few years back, this would of been a hell of a lot easier to play the PS1 library 😂 great vid man!

[@YourPlayer2]

Thanks, Don! I don't think PS1 games aged particularly well aesthetically but the gameplay in a lot of them is still as solid as ever!

[@MrWhis-fe5hs]

What if sony did this on purpose? Maybe they knew to make it easy to hack

[@YourPlayer2]

I considered that! It wouldn't surprise me as I'm wondering if there's more marketing value in getting all of these mod videos of the PlayStation brand out to the world than there is risk that doing so would cut into the profits of PS1 games you can purchase on PSN, for example.

[@adrenalinex4]

of course. sony aint stupid.

[@EpicB]

Given that Sony has historically been so adamant in stopping piracy I question that. But I seriously wonder why they used an off the shelf open source emulator for the system rather than an in house piece of software.

@@xbloodyxjamesxkiddx You can use a USB Hub but it needs to be powered independently. A bonus to this is that you can then also plug the PS Classic into that USB Hub for its power cutting down the need to power it independently. I believe there is specific compatibility so please google before you buy but I got one off the shelf at best buy that happened to work.

Do the FMV's still stutter on a usb 3.0?

[@YourPlayer2]

I couldn't say as I couldn't get a USB 3.0 device to function with it.

[@danielwebofrito2]

Hey, I don't know if the uploader's gonna read this, but I wanted to point out something NO, it's not the throughput of USB 2.0 that lags FMVs, it's something else. I know because I've ran PS1 games over USB on a PS2 slim and on raspberry pi and they don't stutter on any point. I've only seen FMVs stutter when using USB 1.1 (which was on PS2 games on a PS2 over USB, because the throughput of USB 1.1 is less than the DVD drive). It's impossible for USB 2.0 or 1.1 to have less throughput than a PS1 CD-ROM drive which uses 150 KB/s. kthxbai

5:15 There is NO bottleneck from any kind of USB stick. The original PS1 CD-ROM drive has a maximum speed of 300KB/sec at 2x speed and the USB 2.0 has 60MB/s maximum transfer rate. This is 200 times the speed of the PS1 CD-ROM unit. I am sure your USB drive has a READ speed more than 300KB/sec :-) Do some google search before you "think" anything :-).

@@YourPlayer2 not sure as i dont own one so i havent really looking into system specific hardware specs. the psp cpu only ran at 333mhz MAX with 32MB sys memory, so who knows. im certain that in time a firmware mod will allow full access to the system hardware (if not done already).

[@Rybagz]

USB 2 gives near 50 Meg/second whereas the PS1 CD player was a 2x unit = less than 350 KB/second. I would suspect the poor IO speed is likely due to it using software to do data transfer rather than hardware backed DMA. I've seen a few HDD recorders that have similar poor speed when copying probably due to the same reason.

[@YourPlayer2]

It's weird that you mention that because the more I thought about it the more it seemed that modern USB speeds should've been faster than the original PS1 CD read speeds. Thanks for a more technical insight to confirm this though and I hadn't considered software being a bottleneck for the experience. Appreciate your taking the time to watch and comment, Rybagz!

but if you're looking for some Sega love, atgames has a new Genesis in the wild, it runs close to 100% emulation can be modded in 5 minutes and has an SD card slot for support up to 16 gigs

That sounds killer! I tried exploring the Genesis last year as I grew up a Nintendo kid and picked up a fair amount of CIB titles for it, but this sounds like a good way to sample more of the library before seeking out more titles for the collection. I'll see if I can track it down :)
