The PlayStation Classic is a charming piece of hardware, but its stock game selection and performance leave a lot to be desired. Fortunately, the modding community has completely transformed this miniature console. Project Eris, developed by ModMyClassic, is the premier modification package for the PlayStation Classic. It replaces the limited stock emulator with a robust, feature-rich desktop environment, adds support for dozens of classic consoles via RetroArch, enables modern controller support, and allows you to boot your own games directly from a USB drive.
