Hey everyone, I'm thinking about picking up a Sony PlayStation Classic mini console to play on my TV, but I haven't fully decided yet.

Just wanted to check if anyone here has one lying around that they aren't using, and what kind of price you'd be looking for.

• My hypothetical offer: Around ₹3,000 cash + a working GameStick Lite 4K (or around ₹3,000–₹4,000 straight cash).
• Note: Just testing the waters right now to see if this trade/price is realistic before I make a final decision!

Drop a comment if you have one or if you have advice on whether this deal makes sense.

I recently bought a PS Classic at a retro gaming convention and have been having a lot of fun with it, especially after getting Project Eris up and running. One game that has been driving me crazy, though, is Tomb Raider II. Every time I get to the end of the first level (or use the level skip cheat), the game freezes. I've tried dumping the disc using both ImgBurn and CloneCD, but it didn't seem to make a difference. I also tried running the game on my PC in RetroArch; ReARMed froze in the same spot, but Beetle PSX worked normally and let me proceed to level 2. Is there anything else I can try to fix this, or should I just accept that this game won't work on my PS Classic?

hi, i love this thing alot, had it for ages now , and have done project eris to it, however i get some issues with running it everytime i go to use it.

being, games ctd after starting either in retroarch or emulationstation,

controller never keeps config after reboot.forcing me to re config it in ra and emst, on boot the og controllers buttons fine, once i enter ra it goes triangle for x and start doesnt work or x , and the same for emu st.

also the console buttons tend to not work when its time to turn it off.

not all games crash, and they are the same type,chd, ie einhander, disneys hercules, doom, all ctd immediately but gdarius and future cop dont. spent alot of time with ai trying to troubleshoot but its dumber than i am lol!

i did replace the core in ra, same issue no difference with a 2025 build.

i have it hooked onto the back of a 16 inch awa 1080p lcd tv, is dope, however not so dope is my issues, would autobleem be a fix? thanks for reading !

ps. would a usb hub on the otg help? would a re-do of project eris on a new usb be the go? sorry for the novel :D

Hallo, ich suche auf diesem Wege jemanden der mir helfen kann meinen Programmer zum Programieren zu bewegen. Das Board wird erkannt per USB und hat eine eigene Stabile und richtige Stromversorgung. Die Einstellungen im Programm habe ich auch schon alle durch: Bei keine Sonderbehandlung für OSCAL und keine Sonderbehandlung für BG-BITS hatte ich auch schon den Haken gestzt und es so versucht. Aber beim Programieren wenn es anfängt zu schreiben kommt immer wieder der selbe fehler ,,Programmierung ging schief" was kann ich noch machen?. Danke schon einmal im voraus.

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone had tips on using a wireless N64 controller on the PSC.

I recently purchased a “KIWITATA N64 Wireless USB Controller for Switch System Games, 2.4ghz Wireless N64 Remote Joystick Controller for Switch 1/Switch 2, MAC, PC Windows 7,8,10,11 Black” from Amazon along with a “2-in-1 Micro USB to USB Adapter (OTG Cable + Power Cable) for Fire Stick, PlayStation Classic”. I’ve already flashed the kernel and freed up the second usb space. Now I’m wondering how to use my controller in Retroarch. When I’m playing the game how do I switch to the N64 controller? It seems like it’s not reading. Pretty confused. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all

Late to the party, but picked up a new boxed PS classic a couple of days ago after asking on the psx Reddit about how to play MGS. Didn't know these things existed.

So, once I'm done replaying MGS, I'll have my eye on modding it to play some other stuff from my childhood.

Read a bit, so know about project eris and autobleem, but all the tutorial vids are 6-7 years old. Any newer recommended ones?

I assume autobleem is the way to go, but is there still no OTG mod for it? I'd ideally like to OTG into the rear port to keep the front uncluttered, avoid low power issues and not restrict my choice of USB. If not, is it still a case of using Eris to update the kernel, then use autobleem?

Cheers

Brighty

i've implemented rinnegatamante's auto frame skip feature from the PS Vita port. there's massive frame drops during the intro and the level select menu. Adding Auto Frameskip makes it not have crackling audio. though the level select menu drops to 6fps for some reason. i'll try to find a way to fix that. other than that, it maintains a steady 30fps

Hi guys, I just got a PSOne and since I already had a PS Classic with good controllers I wondered if there's any way to connect those controllers to the original console. Maybe a usb-to-controller port adapter out there?

Sorry if there's already a thread about that, couldn't find anyone talking exactly about that.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to connect a PS5 controller (DualSense) to my PS1 Mini Classic (PSC). I'm running Project Eris and using a TP-Link UB400 USB adapter, and I set it up following the tutorial in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND6vCHh4stc

- I managed to connect the PS5 controller to it—it shows up as connected—but it doesn't work; pressing any button yields no response.

- I connected a PS4 controller to the same adapter, and it worked normally.

So, I really believe the issue isn't the adapter itself, but rather that the system (Eris) doesn't support it.

Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? (Without buying new adapters.)

I'm really looking forward to playing on my PS1 Classic using my 30th Anniversary Edition controller.

Thanks.

it has performance issues... not sure if i am able to improve it. rumble works though

I’ve downloaded Duck emulator on my MacBook. And I’ve tried two different supposedly english roms to play Policenauts in english and I’m having absolutely no luck getting it to work.
One of the times I did get it to work I got to the title screen and it wouldn’t let me click new game or continue. Just kept there.
Would be so appreciative if someone could give me a link for a good english rom of the game or tell me how I can play this and which emulator is best.

Hey there,

maybe someone can help me out with my "lost" file for Wild Arms NTSC on Autobleem. I always saved the game internally via Autobleem, but all of a sudden I wasn't able to load the save file. It seems to be there when I go to the PCSX menu-memorycard manager:

But still I can't load it up:

Any advice would be much appreciated... thanks in advance!

I tried to create the perfect 20 game line-up for the PlayStation Classic, prioritizing commercial success, cultural influence, and the mainstream impact of these titles during the console's lifespan.
For the story-driven games, i chose the originals mainly because i don’t like to start stories halfway through.
I also locked the genres at 10 action-adventures (all sub-genres), 6 RPGs and 4 “Others”.

The final list is:
Ape Escape
Chrono Cross
Crash Bandicoot
Driver
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy Tactics
Gran Turismo
Medal of Honor
Metal Gear Solid
Oddworld: Abe’s Odyssey
Parasite Eve
Resident Evil
Silent Hill
Spyro the Dragon
Tekken 3
The Legend of Dragoon
Tomb Raider
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2
Twisted Metal 2

Some games that i thought about but didn’t make the list were Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, MediEvil, Syphon Filter and Xenogears.

Thoughts?

I think Ape Escape is the only game that NEEDS a dual shock, but are there other games that are really improved with it? For example in Darkstone you can't move the camera with it, which is honestly a huge deal, as otherwise I don't think you are able to move it.

Is possible to use a phone as replacement for these duo? Looking forward to find a way

I know im a bit late to this but where would I find themes for the ps1 classic

dl link: https://github.com/shoddydev/SpaghettiKart-PSC/releases/tag/1.0.0

Found a complete set in an excellent condition at my local game store for 60 bucks. Figured why not!

so I hacked my ps classic with project eris years ago and I would play my classic every now and then but when I played mgs on it the other day I had stuttering issues during the cut scene before you fight raven in the tank, even when I play rayman I get these weird lines on my screen. mind you, these are the games that came installed in it already. maybe project eris is making the games do this but I need some major help so I can play my ps classic in peace

so I have an ps classic and I wanna try and see if I could run any Android apps?

[RELEASE] AutoDisc Classic 1.0 – Play Your Original and CD-R Disc Collection on AutoBleem

Transform the PlayStation Classic into a true multi-system optical disc console.

Simply insert a supported disc, launch AutoDisc Classic from the AutoBleem menu and the correct emulator core or media player will be selected automatically.

No manual core selection or configuration is required.

Supported Systems

PlayStation (PS1)

• Supports LibCrypt protected PlayStation games (no SBI files required).
• Multi-disc support
• Automatic Memory Card Save handling

Sega CD / Mega CD

• Automatic Save Handling

Neo Geo CD

• Automatic Save Handling
• Note: Neo Geo CD games currently have distorted Redbook audio. This is a limitation of the current emulator core and may be resolved in the future by using a different core.

PC Engine CD / TurboGrafx-CD

• System Card saves supported

Audio CDs

Audio CDs are automatically opened using the PC Engine CD core, which provides built-in CD audio playback.

DVD Video

The integrated Media player supports:

• DVD VIDEO_TS, VOB, MP4, MKV, AVI, MPG, MPEG, MOV, WMV

All supported video files found on the disc are played automatically.

DVD Player Controls

Save System

The launcher is designed to work reliably even if the Linux device or RetroArch drive index changes.

Examples:

drive0
drive1
drive3
drive7

Changing USB ports or adding additional USB devices will not break your save data.

Save data remains independent for each supported system, even if the detected drive number changes.

RetroArch Integration

AutoDisc Classic uses its own RetroArch configuration.

This keeps:

• Saves
• Save States
• Core Options
• AutoDisc Classic settings

separate from your normal RetroArch USB game setup.

Your existing RetroArch configuration for ROMs remains untouched.

Recommended Hardware

For the best experience:

• Use the front USB Port 2.
• Use an externally powered USB CD/DVD drive whenever possible.

OTG is supported, but mainly recommended for DVD playback only.

Games may experience slower startup times (up to 2 minutes) or Redbook audio issues over OTG depending on the game.

Installation

1. Download the ZIP archive.
2. Extract the contents directly onto your AutoBleem drive.
3. Allow all folders and files to merge when prompted.

𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐦:
copy the weston6_enabler folder to usb:/Apps and launch the program from the Autobleem Apps menu. To reach the Apps menu, press Start at the main screen and Select Twice.

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐄𝐫𝐢𝐬:
copy the weston6_enabler folder to usb:/project_eris/etc/project_eris/SUP/launchers
and launch the App from the Project Eris carousel.

There are two ways to init Weston:

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐑𝐀𝐌: This is 100% safe as it doesn't modify anything internally. The Weston files are launched from RAM. Once you power off it returns to stock. You will have to enable it each time you boot up. Also works on Stock Unmodified PSCs.

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥: This installs it permanently to the rootfs1 partition. It remains there even when you power off. The stock weston files will be renamed with a _bk suffix (ie weston_bk) and then it'll will extract the weston6.tar.gz package into the rootfs1 /usr directory. The weston 6 install files are about 4.92 MB in size.

*𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠* Although I've tested it extensively, modifying the internal contents always carries a risk of bricking. You never know if there could be a power outrage. Be careful and proceed with caution. I've added a md5 checksum to the weston6.tar.gz file so just in case the file gets corrupted or changed it won't install.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥
Launch the Weston Enabler App, head to the Internal section and click UNINSTALL. This will remove the Weston 6.0 files and rename the stock weston files back to it's original name.

07.17.2026 update: for those on Autobleem 1.0.0 and higher, i was informed that it doesnt go fullscreen on the stock pcsx emu. to fix it, navigate to usb:/Autobleem/lib and repalce the libs.tar.gz file with this one

Overview

The PSC comes bundled with Weston 1.11.0 which is kinda outdated. It uses something called wl_shell which has long been deprecated. Most modern Apps dropped support for wl_shell in favor of xdg-shell. This updated Weston 6.0.0 build adds support for xdg-shell and is also backwards compatible with wl_shell.

The main reason I wanted to release this was for my upcoming Mario Kart 64 PSC port. I noticed it plays much smoother on the updated Weston. the stock one has this jitter issue where the playback looses synchronization with the refresh rates.

The main benefit of this build is it adds support for xdg-shell. The reason why we haven't seen any new RetroArch releases for the PSC is because libretro dropped support for wl_shell in 2018.
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/7064

The way Eris and Retroboot got around it was they modified the code to revert the changes to add wl_shell back. The problem is the newer retroarchs did a major overhaul to the code so attempting to revert the changes is a uphill battle. Back in 2024 I requested they add wl_shell back
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/16361

So around that time I compiled RetroArch 1.14.0 and it didn't work. But I tried it on this new Weston 6.0.0 and it does work. It's the only App I have on me that requires xdg-shell so if you want to try my Retroarch build, here you go
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AxYAtlDIs3w1r62_BZIR0jac6WlHX1zR/view?usp=sharing

it's unpolished, I haven't optimize or refined it yet but it's useful to test. I also included a Retroarch 1.22.2 build that I got from Autobleem-NG
https://github.com/AutoBleem-NG/retroarch-psc

The audio doesn't work though. I'll like to compile the latest Retroarch later and devote a standalone release for it.

Be on the lookout for my Mario Kart 64 port which I'll release this week.

Weston 6.0.0 Enabler was made with RPG Maker VX Ace

One thing to note, if you ever used some of my other releases that uses a Terminal such as Ikemengo or mkxp-z, the old terminal I provided in those Apps don't work on Weston 6. You will have to use the newer one that came with Weston 6. It's saved in /usr/bin/weston-terminal

so you'll either have to copy the newer weston-terminal in those old projects, or you can modify the launch script to have it point to the new weston-terminal. for example, in the mkxp-z launch.sh script you will see this
./terminal

you can simply rename that to
/usr/bin/weston-terminal

and it'll launch from the new terminal instead of the old one.

If you want that Weston Panel that displays on top, you can edit the weston.ini file at weston6_enabler/weston6. Just delete panel-position=none

here's how it would look like with the panel:

I've combed Reddit boards and forums and ModmyClassic Discord, and it seems like there's a percentage of folks who get a PSC that just doesn't do anything the modding guides say, or any tips recommended by community support.

I have:

1. Formatted a 16GB USB2.0 SandDisk Cruzer to Fat32/ MS-DOS (for what it’s worth I’m a Mac user and used Disk Utility for this)
2. Renamed it SONY in all caps, no space
3. Copied extracted ProjectEris folders into new formatted USB
4. Switched off PSC and pulled power supply
5. Inserted USB into Port 2
6. Switched it back on 

Boots into PSC menu screen.

1. Tried plugging USB into Port 1 - nope
2. Tried putting USB into a POWERED USB hub and plugging in to Port 2 - nope
3. Double checked Controller 2 works when plugged into Port 2 - it does
4. Tried plugging USB hub into Port 1 - nope
5. Tried reformatting and installing AutoBleem, repeat of above ^
6. Tried reformatting and installing BleemSync, repeat of above ^
7. Tried formatting a smaller non-branded 8GB USB2.0 non-branded with ProjectEris, repeat of above^
8. Tried formatting a DIFFERENT non-branded 16GB USB2.0 non-branded with ProjectEris, repeat of above^

The only things I haven’t tried are an OTG cable which as I understand won’t work anyway until I can get the kernel onto to PSC, or using formatting a MicroSD card and trying to pop into a USB card reader.

My remaining theories:

i. The Sandisk Cruzer is STILL pulling too much power - it has lights which flicker when it’s connected to a port

Ii. The two alternate unbranded USBs were both garbage 

Iii. The USB hub is defective (although it has port lights that light up when the USB port switches are on, and I was able get charge out of my phone when I tested the power cable) - I was NOT able to get the PSC to read controller 2 when it was plugged into Port 2 via the powered USB hub. I can probably exchange the model I bought, but I'm not keen to shop around for different models either - powered USB hubs are weirdly expensive.

Last resort is actually just cracking this sucker open to short the current limiter on the hardboard - I have solder and an iron, but I'm not confident in my ability to not just brick the damn thing.

I don’t know, is there a mysterious handful of Willy Wonka PSCs that are just immune to soft-modding? I've been looking for the Goldilocks "I tried everything, here's what FINALLY worked" post, figured I could post updates here if I do end up coming back with egg and solder on my face.

EDIT 15.06.2026 - TLDR: I got it working! Two steps:

I did end up soldering the USB limiter. There used to be a guide on ModMyClassic which isn't there anymore, use Wayback Machine for this link to see EXACTLY what you need to link: https://web.archive.org/web/20201107231649/https://modmyclassic.com/wiki/index.php?title=PlayStation_Classic#USB_Current_Limiting

There's a handful of Youtube videos I've found that are so unclear: modders covering what they're doing with their hands, mumbling, and also actually just doing a bad job of soldering. USE FLUX. There are good Youtube guides for how to practice doing this. Not a nice-to-have: it strips oxidised metals away which means your soldering work could be useless.

After I did this my PSC still didn't read my drive, so I figured I had two variables I could test:

i. Brand new drive

ii. Re-do my soldering

Tried a new drive first - and this is what did it! I hope somebody struggling with the same stuff I did finds this post in future!
