I had a Sandisk Cruzer Blade 16GB on hand and it did not seem to work. There is a list of a few known compatible/incompatible drives, but there is no guarantee devices on the list will work. It is recommended you use a USB 2.0 drive or older, and even then there is a great deal of uncertainty as to which USB drives can be used directly. The PSC has current limitors that interfere with newer USB drives. The ROM manager pbPSCReAlpha simplifies adding PSX games. In its current state BleemSync is a little fiddly when it comes to adding games. You can also use a combination of these, as I ended up doing. Bleemsync does modify the PSC, and the benefit of this is you won’t have to worry about USB compatibility once you’ve got Bleemsync loaded on the system as it enables OTG support, allowing you to use an OTG adaptor on the rear micro USB port. Autobleem and Retroboot both operate off the USB drive and do not modify the system. There is now a version of Autobleem that includes RetroBoot, allowing you to emulate additional consoles. Your software choices are Autobleem, RetroBoot (on Reddit), and Bleemsync. I have decided to preserve the entirety of my hacking journey as it happened, but be advised this process was complicated for me because I am an idiot who apparently does not know how to extract a.

Note a powered USB hub will make this project much easier.

Rather infamously, Sony declined to include a power adapter with the device.

The chief issues are the USBs and the power supply. There are several hardware issues that can make emulation non-trivial. This project is often represented as plug-and-play, but for some users that’s not the case. I didn’t expect much from the stock presentation, and didn’t get much, but after wrangling with the Orange Pi for emulation I appreciated the value of a single-board computer already packed in a tidy box with controllers. When my brother alerted me the Playstation Classic was on sale for $20 I picked one up.
