-
Extract the contents to the root of your FAT32(recommended) or ext4 formatted USB flash drive
-
Name your flash drive SONY. This is a requirement.
-
If you decided to use clean installer - download Cover Repository databases (three separate files for NTSC-U, PAL and NTSC-J)
-
Copy Cover Repository databases into /{Your USB}/Autobleem/bin/db not needed if you downloaded full or region packages
-
You may want to install additional themes … find them on reddit/autobleem.tk and copy to themes folder (follow folder structure)
To allow AutoBleem to scan your games they need to be inserted into Game folder. Just take your game folder and drop it there. As soon there is .bin file inside this folder AutoBleem will try to generate all other needed files for you on console boot. So structure can be as follows:
Games/ Resident Evil 2 Leon/ Resident Evil.bin Silent Hill/ Silent Hill.cue Silent Hill.bin Revolt/ Revolt.PBP
This version can also create those folders for you if you drop them directly to Game folder, but it is based on an assumption that game image files are correct (especially CUE files) and some games may not be added this way.
There are databases attached to this file with all covers and metadata. Also AutoBleem will create folders to store your save data and configuration.
General usage of database files
The inital release package “Full version” DO contain Cover Repository databases. And this is probably everything you need to start your build. In case you want to make the installation small, doenload “Clean version” and then copy the databases to your USB dongle as on previous releases.
Database is split into three separate files by region. If you do not for example plan to play JAP region games, you can install just US or PAL. The reason for that split is the file size. Original cover repository in 226x226 PNG was about 1GB in size. I managed to use a lot of optimisations and finally shrink this into much smaller size, but it still is bit big for a small USB dongle.
The files are available on release page. Look for latest release for most updated databases.
REMEBER COPY DATABASE FILES TO /Autobleem/bin/db folder on USB, not any other place Custom DB Updates
We also created a tool to dump and reload all png files in one shot. The tool is available here DOWNLOAD
There is also a tool to edit cover databases available here DOWNLOAD

Get to our Discord for support. Can I extend this project ?
Of course … it is fully open source using GPL3.0, also if you know any C++, SQL, Java or even how to make youtube videos talk to us on our Discord and join our team. I can not see my game
AutoBleem does scan the game folder during boot and using smart algorithm it is trying to generate all files needed to run the game, but sometimes it fails. In this case AutoBleem WILL NOT ADD THE GAME to the MENU, so if you do not see your game … something is broken in it. The same rule is valid for other emulator cores in EvoUI Known Issues/Limitations
Encrypted PBP files are not loaded by PCSX … you can only use files created using Popstation/PSX2PSP software
Some games may not be properly discovered or have missing covers
To enable usage of shared Memory cards you need to run a game at least once before switching cards
