If you want, I can: produce UI mockups, write a sample plugin API spec, draft the installer script steps, or create per-game profile examples.
The stock PSC uses a proprietary Sony emulator with input lag and compatibility issues. Eris replaces it with RetroArch and the PCSX-ReARMed core, offering: playstation classic project eris
The two giants of PSC modding are Project Eris and AutoBleem. They achieve similar results but have different philosophies. If you want, I can: produce UI mockups,
| Feature | Project Eris | AutoBleem | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Installation | Permanent payload to internal memory | 100% portable (runs entirely from USB) | | Internal Memory | Modifies kernel/files | Leaves internal memory untouched | | Boot Time | Slightly slower (checks for USB) | Faster if booting stock | | OTG Support | Yes, built-in | Yes, but requires manual activation | | Wi-Fi Support | Yes (with USB dongle) | Limited | | Ease of Use | Very easy (GUI installer) | Extremely easy (drag and drop) | | Best For | Users who want deep customization, overclocking, and persistent mods | Users who want a simple, reversible plug-and-play experience | The stock PSC uses a proprietary Sony emulator
Our take: If you only want to add more PS1 games and never touch internal files, AutoBleem is simpler. If you want RetroArch, overclocking, themes, wireless controllers, and a more polished all-in-one experience, Project Eris is superior.
AutoBleem runs entirely off the USB drive. If you unplug the USB, the console reverts to the stock 20 games. Project Eris flashes the kernel (the core of the system) so that even without a USB drive, the console looks for Eris payloads. It feels like a permanent upgrade, not a temporary hack.
