Add Games To Playstation Classic Mac

Dec 10, 2018 PlayStation Classic hack: How to install more games. If you’re not satisfied with the 20-game lineup found on the PlayStation Classic, you can now add more games to the list of playable titles without having to crack open your console and solder elements together like one Japanese modder managed to do.

This guide will take you through the process to add new games to your PlayStation Classic. This is a pretty clever hack that does nothing to your PlayStation Classic itself and should offer almost no risk to damaging your console. That doesn't mean there isn't a risk, however, so do this modification at your own risk. That being said, let's take a look at the steps you will need to take.

Now, it’s time to take a look at the best of the best and honor the top players in the league with a release of first, second, third and fourth all-conference teams for 2017.An important note on the all-conference teams: These are based on how players will perform in 2017.

Update: November 7, 2019: BleemSync has upgraded to version 1.2, but the process is the same. There is a new drag and drop system, but it isn't quite reliable enough to use here.

This is one of the simplest and safest hacks I've seen for the Classic, and I am hoping there will be more to come. Bleemsync already has working controller support for other controllers such as the Xbox One and Steam controllers.

Flashy drives

Sandisk 16GB Flashdrive

16GB of speedy memory

The Sandisk Ultra Flair 16GB flash drive is an excellent product for storing information and transferring it quickly over its USB 3.0 connection. At such a low price, this flash drive is a steal.

I used the Sandisk Ultra Flair across many different projects, and it never fails to do a good job. This drive is perfect for the PlayStation Classic mod as it can be formatted to FAT32, and, because of the USB 3.0, everything can be transferred quickly and easily.

Other helpful things you may want

Anker 10ft Micro USB cable($12 at Amazon)

The leads are never long enough on these classic consoles. Use this braided cable by Anker to move your console closer to you so you can have some slack on the controller cables.

Xbox One controller($45 at Amazon)

The Xbox One Controller is the perfect game controller. It's weight, balance, and ergonomics are the best in class. You can also play a far larger array of retro games with this, rather than the stock PlayStation Classic Controller. You will need a Micro USB cable to use it, though.

AmazonBasics 10ft HDMI($10 at Amazon)

Linked with the 10ft Micro USB, this HDMI will allow you to move the PlayStation Classic anywhere you want it. It's especially helpful if you're going to use the original controllers.

Strength in numbers

Borderlands 3 is currently the best co-op game you can play on PS4

Competitive online multiplayer can be a drag and sometimes single-player games just get boring. When you want to have a good time with a friend, these are the best cooperative games to do so on PlayStation 4.

This complete guide will show you how to install BleemSync to your PlayStation Classic so you can add more games and play games from other consoles like NES, SNES, N64, PSP, Dreamcast, and more. We provide a comprehensive guide on everything you need to now about BleemSync.

Overview

BleemSync is the most advanced tool out of the three (compared to AutoBleem and RetroBoot), however it is also more complicated to install. It does make changes to the internal files of the console but because of this it allows support of all USB flash drives and also OTG adapters. An OTG adapter allows you to connect your USB drive (containing all of your game files and mods) into the micro-usb port in the back of your console thus freeing the second controller port which is where you would normally connect the USB drive.

BleemSync uses its own UI which closely matches the original interface (you can also change it to the default theme).

BleemSync uses RetroArch to run games from other consoles. You can open RetroArch from the main menu.

First, we will show you how to install BleemSync to your PlayStation Classic. The setup can be done on both a Windows or Mac computer. In this tutorial I will be using a Windows computer but the overall setup is the same with a Mac.

Installation

The installation process is a little bit more complicated than AutoBleem and RetroBoot, so make sure you carefully follow the instructions completely.

During the first part the installation, you will need to make sure you are using a compatible USB flash drive to install BleemSync to your PlayStation Classic. Most low power USB flash drive works. We recommend using an USB 2.0 flash drive with low storage like 32gb and lower just for the installation part. Once BleemSync is installed, you can use any USB flash drive (including USB 3.0 and high storage drives) to add games to the console.

1. First, you will format the USB flash drive. Connect it to your computer, locate the drive, right-click it, and press Format…

2. Select FAT32 (Default) for the File system and name the Volume label “SONY” (all caps) then press Start.

3. Hit OK when prompted to format drive.

4. After the drive has been successfully formatted, download the latest version of BleemSync here (scroll down to the Where to Download section to download).

5. Extract the files from the BleemSync .zip file into your formatted USB drive.

6. Safely disconnect the USB drive from your computer. Now disconnect the power cable on your PlayStation Classic, then connect the USB flash drive to the second controller port, reconnect the power cable, and when the light on the console turns orange turn on the console.

BleemSync should launch and start installing.

7. After the process is complete, you will see the following screen and the console should shut down. After the console is off and you see the orange light on the console, remove the USB drive from the controller port.

8. Connect the USB drive back onto your computer and go to bleemsync > backup. Make a copy of this folder and keep it somewhere safe. These are the backup files of the console and can be used to restore the console to factory settings if any problems arises. Please make sure you do not remove the backup folder from the USB drive; simply make a copy of it onto your computer and keep it somewhere safe.

9. Download the BleemSync Custom Kernel here (scroll down to the Where to Download section to download).

10. On the USB drive, open the bleemsync folder and place the LBOOT.EPB file inside the update folder.

11. Safely disconnect the USB drive from your computer. Now disconnect the power cable on your PlayStation Classic, then connect the USB flash drive to the second controller port, reconnect the power cable, and when the light on the console turns orange turn on the console.

12. The custom kernel will begin installing and then the console will automatically shut off. After the console is off and you see the orange light on the console, remove the USB drive from the controller port.

13. The basic installation is complete. You can now use a different USB drive with more storage or you can use the same USB drive to add games to the console. Copy the contents of the flash drive to your computer.

14. We will now need to format the USB drive to NTFS or exFAT. Connect the USB drive to your computer, locate the drive, right-click it, and press Format…

15. Select NTFS or exFAT for the File system and name the Volume label “SONY” (all caps) then press Start.

16. Hit OK when prompted to format drive.

17. Copy all of the contents (from step 13) back to the USB drive.

18. We need to run BleemSync once before we can add games. So safely disconnect the USB drive from your computer, remove the power cable from your console, and connect the USB drive to your console. You can now use an OTG adapter to connect the USB drive or you can continue to connect it to the second controller port. Now connect the power cable and turn on your console.

Turn off the console and when the light is orange you can safely remove the USB drive. You are now ready to add games.

Adding Artwork to Added PS1 Games

You should complete this before adding more PlayStation games if you want BleemSync to automatically add the artwork to new games. BleemSync does not include the artwork for any added PlayStation games. You can download the artwork database and add it to your console so that any PlayStation games you add will automatically have the artwork displayed.

1. Download the Default Thumbnails PNG .zip file here and extract it to your computer. (Currently, only the PNG files will work. It’s a huge download – over 1gb.)

2. Extract all of the image files from the Covers folder (extracted from step 1) to bleemsync > opt > psc_transfer_tools > covers on your USB drive.

3. That’s it. Safely disconnect the USB drive from your computer and connect it to your PlayStation Classic. All of the new PlayStation 1 games you add to the console will now automatically have their artwork.

Adding More PS1 Games

We will now show you how to add more PS1 games to your PlayStation Classic. We recommend you follow the previous tutorial to automatically add artwork to your added PS1 games if you haven’t completed it already. Now let’s begin.

1. Open the transfer folder on your USB drive and add your ROM files (.iso, .bin & .cue, .pbp, or .img format all works) into the folder.

2. Safely disconnect the USB drive from your computer and connect it to your PlayStation Classic. All of the added PS1 games should be available in BleemSync.

Adding Games from Other Consoles

This tutorial will show you how to setup RetroArch on BleemSync so you can play games from other consoles on your PlayStation Classic like the NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcast, PSP, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, MAME, Neo Geo, and more.

1. Download the database-rdb.zip file here. These are the database files that will allow RetroArch to correctly categorize or organize each game you add.

2. Extract all of the .rdb files inside the database-rdb.zip file to the /bleemsync/opt/retroarch/.config/retroarch/database/rdb folder of your USB drive.

If you are using a Mac, the .config folder may be hidden. Press CMD + SHIFT + . on your keyboard to show hidden files.

3. Download the _all_cores.zip file here. These are the different core files that allows you to play games from different consoles.

4. Extract all of the .so file from the _all_cores.zip file to the /bleemsync/opt/retroarch/.config/retroarch/cores folder of your USB drive.

If you want to play PSP games, you will need to complete an additional step. Download the CORE_PSC_PPSSPP.zip file here and extract it to your computer. You should have extracted a folder titled “bleemsync”. Simply drag and drop the extracted bleemsync folder into the root of your USB drive. That’s it.

5. [Optional] Complete this step if you want to automatically add artwork to the games you are adding. Download the thumbnail pack to the console of the games you want to add covers to here.

5a. [Optional] Extract folder from the console thumbnail pack to the /bleemsync/opt/retroarch/.config/retroarch/thumbnails folder on your USB drive.

This is what the covers in RetroArch of BleemSync look like:

6. Go to the root of your USB drive and create a folder named “roms“.

7. Open the roms folder and create a folder for each of the consoles that you will be adding ROMs to.

8. Now add your ROMs to the correct console folder.

9. Safely remove your USB drive from your computer, connect it to your PlayStation Classic, and turn it on. On the Boot Menu, launch RetroArch.

19. Now hit Run.

If there are any problems running the game, we recommend that you try another core. To do this, select the game, and go to Reset Core Association. This will allow you to select a different core to run that game.
