You can now easily load PS1 backups on your PlayStation Classic by using BleemSync

608495-sony-playstation-640x360.jpg

Those familiar with the PlayStation 1 and Dreamcast may recall bleem!, a PS1 emulator which has inspired the name of a recently released piece of software called BleemSync. While running backups of PS1 games on the PlayStation Classic has been possible in the past few days, BleemSync looks to simplify the process of adding new games to your PS Classic. To use it, you need a USB stick named SONY, and to make sure it's formatted to FAT32. Next, you'll want to copy the contents of BleemSync to the root of the USB, as well as create a folder called Games. The folder structure is specific and must be done precisely. A test folder is included in the download to give a better look at how things need to be named.

Games/
1/
GameData/
Game.ini
pcsx.cfg
SLUS-01066.bin
SLUS-01066.cue
SLUS-01066.png

You'll need an .ini and .cfg for each game, along with a legally dumped .bin and .cue of whichever title you want to play. Each .ini must point toward the correct .bin file, with a title, publisher, player number, and year of release. An example is below.

[Game]
Discs=SLUS-01066
Title=Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Publisher=Activision
Players=2
Year=2000

The .png (226x226) represents a picture of the boxart. Once that's done, all that's left to do is run BleemSync, and put the USB drive in the PlayStation Classic, where your games should show up and be playable after a reboot.

I understand that but I read people could not access the games that come pre-loaded after using BleemSync, was that due to an issue in an early version?
As indicated in a previous post, the system copies and uses elements temporarily, carries the configuration of your PS Classic to use it but does not write anything in it and less access to the games installed by default. As our friend Mr_Milenko says, when you turn off the console, the story ends.

Quick cashgrab, they didn't care about this product.
They didn't even care about the security, they could also have gone with their in-house emulator for ps1, but they didn't.

Also all PS3s can play PS1 games natively via disc, or digitally, so if you want to go the legal route, go for a cheap ps3 because it runs the games perfectly.

This is essentially a Raspberry PI Arm Linux box. Similar to what SNES/NES minis use hardware wise. Nintendo at least took the time to make their own emulators and tweak them to run on the hardware. Sony's PSN emulators might not work on ARM/Linux based chipsets, and they didn't take the time create/convert and optimize the emulators to work on somewhat inferior but different hardware. But the problems it has are pretty much the same problems someone would have on a Raspberry PI as well, since they use the same emulators with the same limitations on similar hardware.

You guys complain too much. Buy a damn raspberry and stop arguing on the internet, for christ's sake


What I really want to know is if BleemSync 1.0 will have a tool to simplify the process of creating an ini file and downloading games' covers.

It scrapes for covers and allows you to enter your own.

Is the Retroarch and Bleemsync menu in 1.0 optional? I'd rather set it up so that it boots directly into the official Sony menu interface, and stick to PSX games only. I have NES and SNES classic to run other games.

I'd like to see option of using original Sony menu interface, but hopefully with improvements.. Like folders on the selection wheel which switch to other selection wheels. Much in the way Hakchi used official menus, but added folder features. Of course future 'updates' to the PCSXE emulator as they are released for improved emulation.

One hopes Granstream Saga will be compatible in future emulator.
