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.

gpghax, by ''Maku'', was one of the first hack for the PlayStation Classic. It shouldn't be used anymore, as there are safer, easier solutions.

=== psxc_xpandr ===
 +
 
 +
psxc_xpandr by ''u/kounch'' is a safe hack to expand and/or replace virtually games in a PlayStation Classic using an external USB drive, with no risk. Once you remove the USB drive and make a cold restart, the console works as if nothing was done. However, you have to create manually the directory structure and obtain manually all the files to add a new game (BIN, CUE, Cover Image PNG, Game Description INI, etc.).
 +
 
 +
Features:
 +
 
 +
* Minimal modification of PlayStation Classic internal storage
 +
* Can keep or virtually replace the original installed games (loaded from USB drive instead or internal memory)
 +
* Can add new games (loaded also from USB)
 +
* Extracts automatically all of the needed files when used on a blank USB drive
 +
* Adds support for access to the console emulator menu using simultaneously the buttons `Select` and `Triangle` of a controller
 +
* Optionally compatible to play with two controllers, using a USB hub
 +
* Optional UI modifications support
 +
* Optional cheats support via cheatpops.db
