BleemSync v1.2 – Installing from fresh

Disclaimer – We are not responsible for any damage caused to your console. Please note that you are installing and using at your own risk!

1. Download the BleemSync v1.2 zip package to your computer.
2. Format a USB drive (USB 2.0 preferable) to FAT32 and label it SONY. The format must be FAT32 or ext4.
3. Extract the zip package to the root of your newly formatted USB.
4. Make sure your console is unplugged from power.
5. Insert the USB to controller port 2 on your console and hook the console power back up. Progress updates are displayed on the screen so it is recommended to have the HDMI cord plugged in. It is recommended that while updating you do not have any other usb devices connected to your console. Note: If you have an externally powered usb hub, insert your usb drive into the hub and insert the hub into controller port 2. (Recommended for users with USB power issues)
6. When the console’s LED is orange, power it on as normal and wait!
7. The system will create a backup of your existing kernel, recovery, and data partitions. This may take up to 5 minutes. The LED will alternate green and red while this is happening, and the following will be displayed on screen: Screenshot
8. After the backup has completed the initial payload will be installed to the console. When the payload has finished installing you should see this screen: Screenshot
9. Once the console has powered off and you see an orange LED. Remove your usb stick and plug it into your computer.
10. IMPORTANT: Create a backup of your consoles backup files copy them somewhere safe. The backup files are stored in USB:\bleemsync\backup. It is important you keep a copy of these files somewhere safe. They are unique and can only be used on the console that created them. DO NOT DELETE THESE FILES FROM THE USB DRIVE! If they do not exist then the console will re-create them on boot (and any backups made subsequent to this would be of the upgraded BleemSync kernel and not the original one).
11. Download the custom kernel (LBOOT.EPB) and save it to USB:\bleemsync\update. Safely remove the usb from your computer and plug it back into your console.
12. Turn on your console. The console will count down from 5 before performing the kernel upgrade. During the upgrade the console will turn off (LED completely off), turn back on (LED flashing green), and then turn off once more.
13. When the LED has returned to orange the installation of BleemSync is now complete! Turn the console back on and it will now boot to the BleemSync Boot Menu.

Next Steps

1. Ensure you have created multiple copies of the backup files. The backup files are stored in USB:\bleemsync\backup. It is important you keep a copy of these files somewhere safe as they will be required should you need to revert your console back to stock or recover your console. They are unique and tied to the console that created them. There will be three files:

USB:\bleemsync\backup\LBOOT.EPB
USB:\bleemsync\backup\LBOOT_KERNEL.EPB
USB:\bleemsync\backup\LRECOVERY.EPB

Do not delete these files from the USB drive. If they do not exist then the console will re-create them on boot (and any backups made subsequent to this would be of the upgraded (modified) system and not the original one).

2. Reformat your USB drive in a better format. exFAT, NTFS and ext4 are all supported. Simply copy the entire contents of your USB drive to your computer, format the drive in the format you want (remember to name the drive SONY), and then copy the contents back to your USB drive. Note however that should you want to restore your kernel (or further upgrade to any future kernel releases) then you will need to reformat you drive into FAT32 or ext4 (or use a secondary usb for the upgrade). The kernel upgrade process is not compatible with NTFS or exFAT
3. (Optional) Use your OTG cable! Simply connect your USB drive to your OTG cable and start the console as normal. BleemSync will load in the same way that it would when you connect it to controller port 2.

1. Download the new BleemSync zip package to your computer.
2. Extract the folders from the zip to your usb. Overwrite any existing files/folders. (Note: Mac users should choose merge not replace when extracting the new files to the usb)
3. (Optional) This update resets your RetroArch settings to update the downloader url. If you wish to keep your existing settings please delete the UPDATE_RA_CONFIG file in USB:\bleemsync\flags. You may also skip the payload reinstall by deleting the rest of the files in the flags directory.
4. Connect your usb drive to your console as you normally would and power on the console. The update is now complete.

Optional Kernel Update

A new kernel is available for BleemSync 1.2 that adds in support for additional network adapters and restores rumble functionality for certain controllers to install the new kernel please follow the instructions below. (Note: Kernel upgrades must be done via the front usb ports using a usb with either a FAT32 or ext4 filesystem)

1. If your usb drive is formatted as NTFS/exFAT please stop here and see “Flashing kernel using secondary USB” otherwise continue.
2. Download the custom kernel (LBOOT.EPB) and save it to USB:\bleemsync\update. Safely remove the usb from your computer and plug it back into your console.
3. Turn on your console. The console will count down from 5 before performing the kernel upgrade. During the upgrade the console will turn off (LED completely off), turn back on (LED flashing green), and then turn off once more.
4. When the LED has returned to orange the upgrade is now complete! Turn the console back on and it will now boot to the BleemSync Boot Menu.

1. Remove the old payload folder (f854cc9b-6cfc-4524-90a2-a2b35bbc3e24) from your usb.
2. Download the new BleemSync zip package to your computer.

Please Note: You should ALWAYS backup your usb before attempting to upgrade. The upgrade shouldn’t affect your data however we can not guarantee that you will not lose data in the process. So please backup your usb data before attempting.

1. Open your USB drive using a file explorer and delete the following folders if they exist:

028c18a9-ec4b-4632-b2cf-d4e20f252e8f
lolhack
BleemSync

NOTE: It is important to only delete these files. If you delete any other BleemSync files then the migration is less likely to be successful.

BleemSync – How to Uninstall BleemSync

These instructions specify how to remove the BleemSync payload from the internal memory of the console. We only advise you do this if you are giving away or returning the console. Keeping the BleemSync payload installed is beneficial even when switching to a different mod. You can remove BleemSync from your usb simply by reformatting the usb or deleting the files.

BleemSync 1.1 or later:

1. Create a file called UNINSTALL in USB:\bleemsync\flags\. Note: The file is case sensitive and must not have a file extension.
2. Plug the usb into your console and boot like normal.
3. Wait until a message on the screen notifies you it is safe to shutdown the console.
4. Remove the power cord from the console.

1. Download the uninstall image here: Uninstall Image
2. Unzip the img file to your computer
3. Burn the image to a USB using something like Etcher (Link can be found here: ) https://www.balena.io/etcher/
4. Completely unplug everything from your console and insert the usb in PORT 2
5. Plug in the power and press the power button (once the LED is ORANGE)
6. This should only take a very short time and the LED should go out and back to orange when done.

Introduction

The transfer tool is a new feature in BleemSync v1.1. It can be used to automatically add games to BleemSync via the USB drive rather than connecting the console to your PC. The transfer tool will run automatically during the BleemSync boot process and will generate games with information from the included database. Currently the transfer tool only supports PSX games.

Cover Setup (Optional)

Covers are not included in the release by default however they can be added in 2 different ways. First you can include a cover with the game files (see process below). Otherwise you can download a collection of over 9000 game covers from here. Download either the Default Thumbnails PNG or Regional Case Thumbnails zip files (Thanks to Rocky5 for providing these covers). The cover images must be extracted from the zip archive to USB:\bleemsync\opt\psc_transfer_tools\covers. When adding games the tool will automatically pull covers from this folder if it matches the serial number of the game being added.

Transfer Process

After running the BleemSync v1.1 payload for the first time you should see a transfer folder on your USB (USB:\transfer). If you have not yet run the payload you can create the transfer folder manually. To transfer games all you need to do is copy a game in a supported format (see below) to the transfer folder. The tool will process the game files and any related files. Cue files (for games that require them) will be validated/corrected if supplied. If a cue file is required and is not supplied a generic cue file will be generated. Note: cue files added to the transfer folder will not be automatically deleted, please verify generated cue file is correct before deleting.

Custom Covers

To add a custom cover the cover image must share the same filename as the game only with the png extension. If a custom cover is not provided in the transfer folder the tool will look for a cover image matching the game’s serial number in the covers folder (USB:\bleemsync\opt\psc_transfer_tools\covers). JPEG images are also supported by the stock UI however the extension must be changed to “.png” to work with the transfer tool. Note: JPEG files cannot be displayed as thumbnails in RetroArch playlists

Multi-Disc Games

Multi-disc games should be handled properly so long as all discs are transferred at the same time. For multi-disc games it is best if the name format is similar to GameName (Disc 1), GameName (Disc 2) .etc although this is not required as long as the discs are sorted alphabetically.

Multi-Track Games

Multi-Track game support is included. For multi-track games it is best if you provide the cue file for said game. If the cue file cannot be found a cue will be generated automatically however it may not be valid for every game. The naming scheme for multi-track games is strict and MUST be followed, failure to do so will cause the game to be added incorrectly. The naming scheme is as follows:

• GameName.cue
• GameName (Track 1).bin
• GameName (Track 2).bin

Note: For games with 10 tracks or more each track file must have a two digit track number.

SBI Files

Certain PAL games require SBI files these files must be added to the transfer folder along with the corresponding game. SBI files can either be named the same as the game’s serial or match the game’s filename.

Supported Formats

The following are the only game formats are supported:

• BIN+CUE
• BIN
• IMG
• ISO
• PBP

Please Note: The BSUI will not work when running in OTG + drag’n’drop mode.

It’s advised you check one of the youtuber how-to videos below for a easier visual and audio based tutorial, but once you have successfully installed BleemSync 1.1 and have your formatted USB ready…

1. Always make sure you have no power connected when plugging in the USB. (This also includes external power for powered USB hubs!)
2. Plug your formatted USB (with the bleemsync app and bootloader) into controller port 2 on your console.
3. Connect your console to your pc using the power USB cable as normal.
4. When the LED turns ORANGE, turn on the console as normal.
5. If you already have the RDNIS driver installed you should hear/see a connection sound as the USB device is recognised and the console turns on. If not your OS should automatically install it for you.
   Note 1 – If you are on MAC you will require to download the driver manually here: https://goo.gl/FQYNW5
   Note 2 – If you already use Hakchi CE on your PC you should have the RDNIS driver installed
   Note 3 – If unsure, plug in and power on and check your device manager. You should see something like: http://prntscr.com/mapcf6
6. If you have the console connected to HDMI, you want to boot to the boot menu. If HDMI is connected, the UI will only work whilst you are waiting on the Boot Menu screen.
   Note 1 – The console is set to boot directly to the boot menu by default
   Note 2 – If you disconnect the HDMI cable the console will always start the on console BleemSync UI
7. Once you have given the console approximately 10 seconds from turning on, open your desired web browser (Internet Explorer is not supported!)
   The following steps we are currently in the process of improving, please bare with us.
8. Go and visit http://bleemsyncui.com/ failing that you can try http://169.254.215.100:5000/
   Troubleshooting 1 – If your console has not yet properly loaded the BleemSync UI you are likely to see something like: http://prntscr.com/maph2k If this is the case then just wait 5-10 seconds and try again.
   Troubleshooting 2 – If you tried for over a minute and still have nothing then you have likely not got the RDNIS driver. Check your device manager to ensure that your driver is installed
   Troubleshooting 3 – Might seem dumb but you might have not turned the console on or you don’t have the USB with BleemSync on it connected to the PSC port 2.
   Troubleshooting 4 – If your RDNIS is connected and you still don’t have any luck. If you shutdown the PSC and plug your USB in to the PC, check your logs. It’s likely your USB is incompatible or is corrupt.
   Troubleshooting 5 – If all else fails, check the how-to videos to make sure you are doing it correct and then send us your logs in the Discord support channel and we will look at it for you. (PLEASE exhaust all other options first)
9. On Successful load it will take a few seconds and you should now see the BleemSync UI http://prntscr.com/mapphg
10. You are good to go! Check out one of the YouTube how-to videos below for a more in depth how-to use and add games as it’s too detailed for this guide.

There are multiple ways to configure BleemSync to connect to your wireless network. The easiest method is via usb detailed below. You can also configure the network by connecting to the console via telnet/ssh and running the command wifi-wpa-setup or manually configuring the wpa_supplicant.conf file in USB:\bleemsync\network\etc\wpa_supplicant

1. Create a new file called ssid.cfg in USB:\bleemsync\etc\bleemsync\CFG.
2. Open this file with a text editor.
3. Add your SSID Name on the first line of the file.
4. Add your password to the next line.
5. Save the file and safely remove the usb from your PC.
6. Plug the usb into your PS Classic and boot up as normal.
7. Ensure you have set enable_networking to TRUE in the Settings Menu

Example ssid.cfg:

MYNETWORKNAME
MYNETWORKPASSWORD

Folder support has been added to BleemSync in version 1.2. Folders are currently created and managed using the on-console Folder Manager app. This app is added as a launcher and requires the ui_app_launchers variable to be set to TRUE in the Settings Menu to be accessible. The Folder Manager is accessible through the carousel. Folders can only be created and swapped using the Folder Manager app. Future versions will allow folders to be added to the carousel as well as support adding launchers to particular folders. The procedure below explains how to create and use a folder.

1. Select Folder Menu from carousel.
2. Press R1 to create a new folder.
3. Configure your folder name, icon and games.
4. Press Save to create your new folder.
5. On the Folder Select screen press X to enter your new folder

To exit out a folder enter the Folder Menu and either enter a new folder or press O to exit without selecting a folder.

Flashing a kernel to the system requires either a FAT32 or ext4 file system. If your usb is formatted as NTFS or exFAT you will need to either use a secondary USB to flash the system. Alternatively you can completely backup all the files from your original USB to your computer and reformat it to FAT32 or ext4 to complete this process, once the process is complete the usb can be reformatted back to the original file system, and you can restore all the files.

1. Format a USB drive (USB 2.0 preferable) to FAT32 and label it SONY. The format must be FAT32 or ext4.
2. Extract the BleemSync v1.2 zip package to the root of your newly formatted USB.
3. Copy your backup files from your original USB (or backup) to your new USB. Make sure they are placed in USB:\bleemsync\backup you will need to create this folder if it does not exist.
4. Download the custom kernel (LBOOT.EPB) here, and save it to USB:\bleemsync\update. Safely remove the USB from your computer and plug it back into your console. It is recommended that while updating you do not have any other USB devices connected to your console.
5. Turn on your console. The console will count down from 5 before performing the kernel upgrade. During the upgrade the console will turn off (LED completely off), turn back on (LED flashing green), and then turn off once more.
6. When the LED has returned to orange the kernel upgrade is now complete! You can now remove the USB. You can now return to using your original USB.
