PlayStation Classic |OT| Also Emulates 90's Europeans Envy Toward US Products
- Thread starter Deleted member 3010

New build of Bleemsync coming around New Year's Day.
Will have the possibility to launch RetroArch, an UI for PC for easy configuration and more.

I saw this on Reddit (though I'm having trouble finding it at the moment) but in preparation for Retroarch's inevitable arrival on the PS Classic someone made a PS Classic theme for Retroarch.
Also, I think I'm going to wait until a solution comes out that allows you to permanently replace the content on the PS Classic with Retroarch and the games I want to play.
Is this what you're referring to? https://reddit.com/r/PlaystationCla...ished_my_retroarch_theme_for_the_playstation/
I am not following the system too much, maybe someone can tell me how FFVII perfroms on PS classic?
I've only played it for 1,5 hours so far, but it seems fine to me. No complaints.
Judging from Digital Foundry's video, it suffers from some slight slowdown which also affects the music whenever a fight starts.
That's pretty ugly. Is there a PS3 like theme by any chance ?
So where is this thing at in regards to PSX emulation?
I would consider nabbing this at the reduced price point if it's a better experience than the PSTV, which I also recently hacked. I'm just wondering if modders have managed to have the existing games run at their proper NTSC speeds, if it's possible to play with a wireless DS4, if it supports higher resolutions/texture packs, etc.
If it ends up being easier to customize games and with a better interface than the PSTV, then I would consider it.

You will have to wait until New Years Day for the next release of Bleemsync. It will have better performance of Retroarch. How much we don't know yet.
I'm just wondering if Sony will release an updated version later down the road. If they do I'm pretty sure it won't be more than software improvements...
I guess a Odroid XU4 should perform better though...
I wonder if Sony will ever attempt this again or make some sort of revision for a second batch. I assume they're done with it.
Some parts of the PS Classic (the aesthetics, packaging, the physical hardware) were fantastic. The actual emulation was the real problem for me. The library was a C+ when it easily could have been a B+. I never expected a home run (Crash, Tony Hawk, Spyro, etc) but I still can't reconcile while it doesn't have Twisted Metal 2 and some other easy gets.

Yeah, I don't expect them to try again after this :/
This will just be a neat little collectible now.
I do wonder if they'll consider classics for PS4 or if this performance will dissuade them from that too. Not that I'm saying that correlation is accurate.
I can only hope this at least teaches the executives at Sony that signed off on this that they can't do a half-assed job launching the PS5.
This was supposed to be basically an impulse buy at $100 and practically no one was buying it.
Imagine when it's supposed to be something that your company will depend on for the next 5-10 years.
Christmas has come and I got one from the wife.
Not gonna lie, I'm glad I have it. Looks nice next to the NES and SNES Classics in the Man Cave.
I'm going to wait a while longer on the modding front though, but I will mod it, just like I did to the others.

I ended up being able to grab one for about $35 just now at Target. Interested to see where all the hacking goes. Gotta catch up with what's possible now lol
Do some Googling or YouTube search on "Bleemsync." You'll be happy you did.
Would the emulation really bother me that much if I expect 3D games from the 90s to look like shit anyway?
No, unless you *really* know what to look for, you probably won't notice. At least I didn't.
This is what I'm waiting for really.
My ideal would probably be a hybrid of the two. Being able to actually update the Emulator and games on the system itself, whilst also having a USB connected for additional games to avoid the storage limitations of having only the built-in storage.
And all of it wrapped up in a nice idiot-proof GUI like Hakchi.
The PSC does not have bluetooth afaik? So retroarch will still need wired connections unless you can use Bluetooth usb adapters. Anyone know if this works with RA in general?
I still can't believe the PSC doesn't have bluetooth. Why didn't anyone at Sony think 'hey since we're shipping with these short-corded no-dualshock controllers, wouldn't it be nice if we gave users the option to use their DS4 controllers from the PS4 over bluetooth?'
That base price is expensive though. It should have been 80€ maximum from day one.
I need to get a new flash drive for this, but just curious, are other controllers working for this yet? I saw someone got an HRAP to work on retroarch. Just wondering if any wired ps4 controllers might work... i may end up buying the 8bitdo dongle if not.
Do you think Sony were going to release Dualshock controllers that would upload extra games onto the Classic?
$100 is NOT an impulse buy.
$60 like the NES classic, maybe. But thats probably the limit. Only reason the SNES did well at $80 is because people remembered how good the NES was so they trusted Nintendo (that and of course, the scalpers).
I hope they can make it happen to enable usb network devices, via lan or wlan I don't really care. I don't want to copy games over to a USB stick when a big library is already on a nas.
Yes correct but I believe you need two adapters for 2 players.
so how do i play with 2 players if i have a usb flash drive with more games in my ps classic? any idea?
Given the amount of heavy discounting going on in the UK I guess it hasn't been a success.
Considering the quality of the product I'm not really surprised.

i see , so the layout is :
USB Port 1 - Usb Hub plugged in and usb bluetooth adaptor connected to the hub (2 players with Ds4 controllers??)
USB Port 2 - Flash Drive with more games.
is this right?
No, technically possible, but I don't think they were ever going to do it. Something like that is just opening the door for exploits (obviously too late now). I think if anything, they would release a volume 2, whole new console with new games and controllers, but that's probably not going to happen now that it sold so poorly.
I had a PS Classic since launch day and paid full price, but I remembered that I'm still within the price protection period at Best Buy (Canada). Got $55 bucks back with nothing but my email receipt.
Nice. I just used the included controllers on my PC to play some RetroArch. They work and feel great!
