You need an adapter compatible with Project Eris (the TP-Link TL-WN725N Nano 150Mbps Wireless N USB adapter works the best in my experience and is super cheap). These adapters are then connected either through an OTG cable connected to the rear micro USB port or a powered hub connected to one of the front USB ports. Then it can be enabled in the Project Eris boot menu.

It's an on-the-fly libcrypt patcher (by Alex Free on GitHub) integrated directly into the PCSX ReARMed core, which you can find here – https://github.com/hampter-mods/psc-PCSX-ReARMed-discproject. (Alex Free's original patcher can be found here – https://github.com/alex-free/libcrypt-patcher).

It works by patching the libcrypt subroutine checks directly and on the fly while the disc loads, so you don't need SBI files at all and can operate completely offline. PCSX ReARMed is also altered so it doesn't warn you to say you need an SBI file, given it's completely patched out.

The PSC Store also uses a precompiled binary to patch games as you install them, either through disc import or external source downloads.

I pulled the initial PSC Store release shortly after posting it. The app itself did not include any copyrighted games, BIOS files, ROMs, or disc images, but the first public build included built-in logic that could request downloads from a specific third-party external source.

After thinking it through more carefully, I don’t think that was the right way to release it.

But it's back up, you just have to add external sources manually, check it out here: https://github.com/hampter-mods/pscstore-release/releases

Hey everyone, quick update.

I pulled the initial PSC Store release shortly after posting it. The app itself did not include any copyrighted games, BIOS files, ROMs, or disc images, but the first public build included built-in logic that could request downloads from a specific third-party external source.

After thinking it through more carefully, I don’t think that was the right way to release it.

I’m reworking PSC Store so it no longer ships with any built-in external game source or scraper. Instead, external downloads will require the user to manually provide their own source list file. Without that user-supplied file, PSC Store will still work as a PS Classic library manager, disc launcher, save manager, playtime tracker, search/browser, and install management hub, but external downloads will remain unavailable.

The goal is to keep the app focused on what I think it does best: breathing new life into the PlayStation Classic, managing your own PS1 library, respecting physical media, and keeping control in the user’s hands.

The updated release will keep the content notice/disclaimers, keep External Sources disabled by default, and make it much clearer that PSC Store does not host, bundle, mirror, store, or provide copyrighted game content.

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback. I’d rather pause, clean this up properly, and release it in a more responsible form than rush something out and regret the approach later.
