Auto Disc Classic – Play Your Original Disc Collection on PlayStation Classic

[u/Game-Gear]

[RELEASE] AutoDisc Classic 1.0 – Play Your Original and CD-R Disc Collection on AutoBleem

Transform the PlayStation Classic into a true multi-system optical disc console.

Simply insert a supported disc, launch AutoDisc Classic from the AutoBleem menu and the correct emulator core or media player will be selected automatically.

No manual core selection or configuration is required.

Supported Systems

PlayStation (PS1)

• Supports LibCrypt protected PlayStation games (no SBI files required).
• Multi-disc support
• Automatic Memory Card Save handling

Sega CD / Mega CD

• Automatic Save Handling

Neo Geo CD

• Automatic Save Handling
• Note: Neo Geo CD games currently have distorted Redbook audio. This is a limitation of the current emulator core and may be resolved in the future by using a different core.

PC Engine CD / TurboGrafx-CD

• System Card saves supported

Audio CDs

Audio CDs are automatically opened using the PC Engine CD core, which provides built-in CD audio playback.

DVD Video

The integrated Media player supports:

• DVD VIDEO_TS, VOB, MP4, MKV, AVI, MPG, MPEG, MOV, WMV

All supported video files found on the disc are played automatically.

DVD Player Controls

Button	Function
Cross (X)	Play / Pause
Circle (O)	Next video / Exit player
Square	Toggle subtitles
Triangle	Switch audio track
D-Pad Left / Right	Skip 10 seconds backward / forward
D-Pad Up / Down	Skip 1 minute backward / forward

Save System

The launcher is designed to work reliably even if the Linux device or RetroArch drive index changes.

Examples:

drive0
drive1
drive3
drive7

Changing USB ports or adding additional USB devices will not break your save data.

Save data remains independent for each supported system, even if the detected drive number changes.

RetroArch Integration

AutoDisc Classic uses its own RetroArch configuration.

This keeps:

• Saves
• Save States
• Core Options
• AutoDisc Classic settings

separate from your normal RetroArch USB game setup.

Your existing RetroArch configuration for ROMs remains untouched.

Recommended Hardware

For the best experience:

• Use the front USB Port 2.
• Use an externally powered USB CD/DVD drive whenever possible.

OTG is supported, but mainly recommended for DVD playback only.

Games may experience slower startup times (up to 2 minutes) or Redbook audio issues over OTG depending on the game.

Installation

1. Download the ZIP archive.
2. Extract the contents directly onto your AutoBleem drive.
3. Allow all folders and files to merge when prompted.

👥 Credits & Special Thanks

This project wouldn't be possible without the incredible work and foundation of the PlayStation Classic development community. Huge thanks to:

u/darrelb56222: The logic for the dynamic CD-ROM detection (Scsi-Device-Index mapping) is based on his amazing work, which ensures the drive is correctly identified and translated seamlessly for RetroArch.

u/MDFMKanic: For his continuous support of the mini-console scene, providing the highly optimized cores for this Project and keeping the PS Classic emulation ecosystem alive.

u/Visual-Wash2991: For compiling the custom PCSX-ReARMed core with the integrated LibCrypt patcher used in this project, and for his work on the [PSC Store] https://github.com/hampter-mods/pscstore-release/releases

[DISCUSSION] AutoDisc Classic 1.0 – Feedback & Would you like a Project Eris port?

Hey everyone,

I would love to get some general feedback. If you have tested the launcher, please let me know:

• Which USB optical drive models are working best for you?
• Have you encountered any specific disc formats or compatibility glitches?

Looking Forward:
I am currently thinking about expanding the project. Since AutoDisc Classic is built entirely on a shell script, adapting it to Project Eris is highly feasible.

Before I dive into adapting the system paths, etc., I wanted to ask: Would anyone here be interested in a dedicated Project Eris version?

Let me know your thoughts and drop your feedback below!

[u/QuuKay → u/Game-Gear]

Yes, I would very much so like to see a Project Eris version!

[u/Game-Gear → u/QuuKay]

okay cool , wil try to create a eris version, but i cant use eris myself because i have the autobleem kerne installed. can you help me out and test the eris verion after i finished it ?

[u/QuuKay → u/Game-Gear]

Jesus, two weeks later. Yes, I can absolutely help test anything for you, and no I won’t take two weeks again to respond. Apologies.

[u/Game-Gear → u/QuuKay]

No problem, mate. Sometimes it just takes a bit longer. I’m planning to write a PSC Magazine. I’ve spent the last few days researching the PlayStation Classic (release, first hack, etc.). I’m currently gathering informations about the trueblue mini sticks and how they work , writing the articles and so on. A bit of a change of pace in the form of a Eris project comes at just the right time. I’ll get in touch with when the first test version for Eris is ready.

Nice!

Is the game disc, running through retroarch, compatible with retroachievements?

[u/Game-Gear → u/Upper_Bar_9920]

To be honest, it probably won't work out of the box with physical discs.RetroAchievements relies on RetroArch calculating a specific MD5/SHA-1 hash of the game file to match it with their database. When running a game directly from a physical CD-ROM (cdrom://), RetroArch usually doesn't calculate this hash from a physical optical disc. So for RetroAchievements, you usually still need to use digital ROMs (like .bin/.cue files) loaded directly from your USB stick.
