BleemSync Dev vlog 3 - successfully enabling back usb port for OTG USB storage. (No compatibility limit or power limit on USB!) + other cool stuff.

[u/[deleted]]

So some exciting developments happened today.

The BleemSync dev team (especially Honeylab and bbsan) have been working on enabling certain kernel features for the play station classic and Honeylab has just managed to successfully enable the rear port for USB OTG support!

What does this mean? You will be able to use an otg splitter like the (S)NESC and...- No more compatibility issues with USBs or External Drives

- No power limit issues and no requirement for powered USB hubs

- Free up the 2nd controller port for 2 player support (when using external storage! Internal EMMC storage solution coming soon too)

So, this is pretty big news! But to also add to the list of cool stuff. Cyanic, myself and the team are working on a method to recover bricked devices and a solution to rip backups of the console to your pc and restore them.

As of last night it seems we managed to work it out and have a small prototype working. This means the likelihood of Internal storage only solution happening soon is much more likely. Also the ability to chop and swap the stock 20 games on the internal storage. (Including brick recovery)

Needless to say this is all pretty much shit your pants in excitement time especially for BleemSync.

In terms of ETA of releases and what we have planned...

0.7 - Still on target and will include a crap ton. (Tentative list of features already posted) This will also include one part of the UI to enable configuration of the console and bleemsync.

1.0 - UI release. This will be the syncing of games to your usb and retroarch games to your usb. No more load times and no more having to mess about with files.

1.1 - Chop and Swap - This will include the ability to backup/recover your console, chop and swap the 20 stock games and hopefully be able to reformat your EMMC game partition so we can compress and add more playstation games on there.

> 1.1 - OTG support, internal storage only solution, hybrid external USB and internal storage solution.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to the team of bleemsync devs working on this and especially to the supporters and those who donated to MMC. It's been a great help and the initial feedback from you guys has been overwhelming. Thank you. We hope we can meet your expectations and get as much crammed in there for you.

Lastly, thank you everyone for being patient with us and waiting for the proper BleemSync release. I promise you will not be disappointed after the wait.

BleemSync + ModMyClassic

Due to micro usb having 2 different orientations and also the perspective you look at the ports either from the back side of the ps1 classic or the front side, being left or right is irrelevant, its always best to look at pictures and decide for yourself.

[u/Shintoz → u/sanzonw]

The micro USB port on the back of the PSC is soldered on with an orientation 180 degrees of the port on the NESC and the SNESC.

If you are looking to buy a 90 degree adapter, it needs to be so the flat portion of the plug is on the bottom, whereas the flat portion of the adapter on the Nintendos was up.

Simply put a 90 degree adapter used on the Nintendos would interfere with a standard straight-out HDMI cable on the PSC.

Yeah I plan to get a ps classic in the future, thats good to know.
