== Specifications ==
The PlayStation Classic ships with two replica PlayStation Controllers (the original model, which are without analog sticks), an HDMI cable, and a USB Micro-A to standard USB-A cable. An AC adapter for the console is sold separately. The console weighs about 170 grams (0.37 lb) and is about 149 mm × 33 mm × 105 mm (5.9 in × 1.3 in × 4.1 in) in size, approximately 80% smaller in volume than the original PlayStation and 45% smaller in width and length. It includes ports for both controllers, HDMI output, and power via USB. The controller's cords measure approximately 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) long. It cannot use PlayStation memory cards. Internally, the console uses a MediaTek 8167a Quad A35 system on a chip with four central processing cores clocked at @ 1.3 GHz and a Power VR GE8300 graphics processing unit. It includes 16 GB of eMMC flash storage and 1 GB of DDR3 memory.

To prove that this works, disable the current limiting on port 1. Then turn on the machine and plug a phone or other device that charges via USB into port 2. You should notice that the device will not charge. Now, plug it into port 1 and you should see the device charging.

The stock emulator shipped by Sony is [[PCSX ReARMed]], the frontend used is internally called [[Sony UI]] and is no different to how we would use [[RetroArch]], the difference being [[RetroArch]] utilizes multiple cores while the stock interface is designed for one specific emulator. Projects such as [[BleemSync]] are able to overmount and modify scripts and databases used by the [[Sony UI]] to add additional games, pseudo-folders, and shortcuts to other applications on the console.

BleemSync is a tool for loading games from a USB flash drive. It's quite safe as it doesn't modify any file on the console.
