Hardware

Using a HDD

PSC suports up to 2TB external HDD for storage. The PSC does NOT support all manufacturers' hdds, so use Western Digital drives. Format as MBR/EXFat & connect via OTG with a sufficiently capable power brick. Unfortunately, GPT/NTFS formats are NOT supported by the PSC. If you buy a new drive, you'll need to format it as WD uses the GPT format, stock won't be recognized.

OTG Cables

• OTB cables only work after installing kernel
• This is a small list of OTG cables that work. This should give you an idea on what to look for in a OTG cable

USB Drive Fix

Using MiniTool Partition Wizard 11.

Deleted the partition and re-created it. This also allows you to format the drive to the format of your liking. Like FAT32 because or if you have BleemSync 1.0 then you can try exFAT or NTFS.

Steps:

Open MiniTool Partition Wizard 11.

Find and select your drive in the window.

Right-click and select "Delete".

Right-click again and select "Create".

Select the file system: choose your file system first(blanks out the name of the drive if you do this after naming it), name the drive "SONY" and choose 32KB for cluster size, press OK.

On the main window: Select "Apply" at the top left corner, press OK and wait for it finish successfully.

After that add all of the BleemSync/Project Eris/Autobleem files.

Bluetooth Tutorial

Prep Work

You must make sure that you boot into Project Eris and enable the Bluetooth option in the boot menu settings screen.

Ensure you connect your Bluetooth adapter AND your Project ERIS Drive to your consoles front ports.

If you have a Wifi Adapter, you can ignore the above step and plug your Bluetooth adapter into your OTG/USB HUB along with your Wifi, ensure your Wifi is configured, and copy the IP address on the Project ERIS wireless menu.

You need to make sure you have PuTTY or another program that can launch it, like WinSCP.

Instructions

Connect your Console to your PC with a USB to micro USB cable capable of data transfer, such as the one that came with the console. Open your SSH software like PuTTY, and connect to your console using the settings listed on the main Project ERIS page.

If you use OTG and Wifi, you can leave your set up as it is, and substitute the IP address for the one you noted from the Wireless menu from your console earlier. You should see the Project ERIS logo in PuTTY when connected to the console.

Joystick pairing without using the psc system terminal

To customize the joystick pairing just add in a pair/unpair routine to Eris's network init bash script, this works if you where also having issues with your bluetooth controller having to be re-paired every go around.

You'll have to find the MAC of your controller and replace the one in the example with your own, copy/paste that block at the end of project_eris\etc\project_eris\FUNC\0060_network.funcs, and then add a call to your new function at the end of init_networking()

Like :

For wired adapters

udhcpc -R -n -p "/var/run/udhcpc.eth0.pid" -i eth0 &

For wireless adapters

udhcpc -R -x hostname:"${HOSTNAME}" -t 10 -n -p "/var/run/udhcpc.wlan0.pid" -i wlan0 &
}

Becomes :

For wired adapters

udhcpc -R -n -p "/var/run/udhcpc.eth0.pid" -i eth0 &

For wireless adapters

udhcpc -R -x hostname:"${HOSTNAME}" -t 10 -n -p "/var/run/udhcpc.wlan0.pid" -i wlan0 &
unpair_pair_controller
}

8bitdo Wireless Dongle Mod

DON'T update the firmware on the USB adapter. If you have, just use the tool 8bitdo tool to downgrade it to the oldest firmware. You can use either the brown adapter or the grey one.

Press O + Start to turn on the controller (MacOS mode)

Enable pairing on the USB Adapter

Once paired, hold Select + Right for 3 seconds until the adapter flashes
