AutoBleem 2 Downloads

The game launcher for the PlayStation Classic, the Raspberry Pi and the PC.

AutoBleem 2

Pick your platform. Release is the tested build, pre-release the next one being tested, dev the newest development build (nightly or on request - it may not work; preview-... a build of work in progress, for whoever tests it). Every file has a .sha256 next to it; releases/latest.json is the machine-readable list.

PlayStation Classic

Install

Set the console up from a Windows PC: unzip the installer, plug in a USB stick, run AutoBleemInstaller.exe. It prepares the stick (FAT32, named SONY), puts AutoBleem on it and fetches what you tick - the cover art and, if you want other systems, RetroArch with its cores, libraries, apps and BIOS files. Run it again to update: your games, saves, memory cards and settings stay.

PC

PC USB stick

Install

A 32-bit Debian appliance on a USB stick: write the image to a stick of 8 GB or more (on Windows with the flasher below (it downloads the image of the channel you pick), elsewhere with dd or balenaEtcher) and boot the PC from it (BIOS or UEFI, Secure Boot off); the first boot sets AutoBleem up and the rest of the stick becomes the games partition. Step by step.

Windows

Install

AutoBleem as a Windows program, per user (no administrator rights): the installer asks only for a games folder and, if you tick it, fetches RetroArch with every core. It runs full screen and keeps itself up to date (Options → Updates). Not signed: SmartScreen wants More info → Run anyway.
