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.
Bout to do this to my PS classic. I think this may have been one of the greatest tech tutorial vids I have ever seen. Super clear. Great explanation of everything. Nice pacing. Subscribed!
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.
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 !!!!
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.
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.
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
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 😎
This video is incredible. Thank you so much! Have my PS Classic ready, gotta grab a USB Drive tomorrow and I'm gonna dive into it, thanks to your guide.
you are a legend . It worked perfectly and the device became what I wanted. You are the only one I trust. You have an easy, detailed, wonderful and reliable method. thank you very much. You are doing an amazing effort.
Hi, i don't no exactly why but at 5:07 when i turn on the PS Classic with my usb i don't go to the eris menu for the first time. I follow your explanation and repeat a few time the procedure but nothing (i use a philips usb 2.0 Snow that is ok according to you and your link below) do you have any ideas ? Thanks
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.
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.
Nice videos like always. Once my brother and I tried to mod his ps one classic and the tutorial was not helpful and we never got to mod it. But with this it will help I would try it out soon
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.
@@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?
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!
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.
Why is it when I add the BIN and CUE files to the 'Transfer' folder Project Eris fails to load. Yet, when I keep them in folders and move them into 'Transfer' it works in RetroArch but they do not show on the Project Eris carousel?
hi i like the way you explain this process to mod my ps1 classic, but you did not mention were i can find those bios files! do you have any link to get them . thanks
I bought SanDisk 64 GB Ultra Fit CZ430 3.1 Mini Nano Flash which is on the list and my mini doesnt seem to want to recognize it. I have the right files on there exactly shown in video steps.
I'm sorry to ask this but... this only works with the USB flash drive connected to the console? Is there a way of having this installed on the system or always I have to have the flash drive connected?
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.
All these videos seem to lean more towards a Microsoft machine. I cannot format my USB natively it would seem to NTFS. Is there a video to help with this for a Mac config/setup?
Funny enough, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was one of the games found in the PlayStation Classic source code. I bought one of those myself so I could mod it.
My usb has an extra folder called System Volume Information, could that be affecting my initial installation? I can’t delete it or move it out of my drive.
Hey great tutorial, Having the WEIRDEST issue, i feel like this is one of those things that only happens to me. So i did everything up to the final NTFS transfer and it went perfectly, my ps classic boots up with the eris menus and all. However, when I plug the usb back to my laptop to add games/ bios, the USB drive goes into an infinite loading loop and ultimately cannot open the drive in my pc. Again, it runs perfectly on the PSC itself, but now is inaccessible, and unable to format on my laptop... makes zero sense, would love some help.
So I've done this myself, added a game in the transfer folder and it showed up in the project eris carousel and played perfectly. So then I added the other 20 games I wanted to add in the same way, but when plugging back into the ps classic they don't show up in project eris, but I can find them in the retroarch folders and they work. I did exactly the same thing with them, does anyone know what's going wrong?
I have an issue, not sure what happened by now all controllers I have set up both PS4 & even the default PS1 controllers aren't configured, I get a little pop up saying they aren't configured, but have no way fixing this as I'm unable to use them to configure them in retroarch!! Any fix to this?
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?
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!
Lol i also found a ps classic for like 20 just today, glad we both got a hold of these
i found a ps1 classic for 7 bucks at the thrift store... Needs deep cleaning
I bought mine from Best Buy for $15 six months after its release.
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.
i found one for £40

This was a glaring omission. Just saying you have them in a folder doesn't help.

Amazing, thanks Blaine Locklair for putting this video out.
Nice to see this still a thing. I've turned mine into a monster.

Yea that's thing (i'm late here) they got you over a barrel with out the Bio's.
At the moment having trouble understanding the wiki compatibility list. As in if listed as no if it works or not

Where can I download the BIOS files?

Where is the ridge website I am not seeing it in the description
Can someone direct me to a website where I can get the proper bin and cue games. I did all of the steps but my games are not showing up on the ps1
10:45 whenever I select a game it just has a black screen and in the lower left hand corner it says "LOADING"
Actually wait; only some games give me this issue but about 80% of games work!
Actually… now none of my games work.
“failed to open libretro core”
Whenever i try to use a core it wont load

I was just doing this mod today what a coincidence 😂
I like Project ERIS. Especially since I made a folder with my added games. And Castlevania Symphony of the Night is a great game
Where can i download roms pack or bios?
brilliant. clear and to the point.
Long shot with no hope, but any chance this could ever work on mac desktop? I just got this console, no pc just Samsung phone, any luck there?

yea lost me at that part idk
I'm sorry to ask this but... this only works with the USB flash drive connected to the console? Is there a way of having this installed on the system or always I have to have the flash drive connected?
After modded you can use an otg cable on the back. It'll free up your front ports.
do you always need the usb in the ps classic to play these games
The system files that are .rom i can not find them anywhere... please help.

You place them in the system folder inside of RetroArch.
Where did you download system bios?
Sooo you can tell us where the bios are?
A great video, but I don't understand how to play a two-player game if the second port has (needs) the USB flash Drive

Fantástico video bro 🎉
Where can you get all the BIOS for the other emulators in retroarch
It's in the Internet All you had to do is
Emulator Name Example : ( ¶SP . BI0S ) you will find Sites that are safe to use
Only bios u really need are for cd based emulation such as Dreamcast and sega cd
Where do you get the roms
NO, fat32 format error process in use, CLOSE FILE EXPLORER WINDOWS AND TRY AGAIN
I have an issue, not sure what happened by now all controllers I have set up both PS4 & even the default PS1 controllers aren't configured, I get a little pop up saying they aren't configured, but have no way fixing this as I'm unable to use them to configure them in retroarch!!
Any fix to this?
I keep getting an error when I plug it in to my ps1 classic saying FAT32 is not supported.

What about games with multiple bin files Luke Ridge racer Type 4, do you move all them over, or do you have to merge all the files into one.
sooooo still no update on the bios files????
