Got you
Please let me know, have you tried any steps to connect it already?

Customer Replay

About 5 times it didn't come with instructions
Do you want me to send you a picture of it?

author

Could you let me know how exactly did you try to connect it to your PlayStation classic mini? For me to provide you with further steps we should try

Customer Replay

It comes with a USB plug in

author

Right
Do you use port 1 or 2 to plug it into your PlayStation?

Customer Replay

1

Ok. As per my check, there is not much to set up actually. All you need to do it plug the USB into the port and wait like 1 minute for it to load
What happens when you do that?

Thank you
Actually, you can use the USB and plug it into the PlayStation Mini itself, without this USB cable. You should see port 1 and port 2 on your PlayStation, do you have see them on your device?

Customer Replay

I used the USB cord because I don't think the second port works

Customer Replay

No no no. I think it might be working
I just needed help installing it

author

That's good. Did you plug it into port 2? Once it's done, click on the button on your PlayStation located on its left side

Customer Replay

Yes
Bear with me!
It says load core

author

Can you take a picture of your PlayStation and add it here in chat as well?

Customer Replay

Yes

author

Thank you, waiting

I see there's some games on it but not all of them
I guess I need to load the application. I just don't want to mess it up

author

Got the pictures

Customer Replay

It's supposed to have game boy PlayStation Gameboy advance Nintendo all those consoles on it

author

Please try these steps:
Unplug the USB, wait for 60 seconds, then plug it back in when you plug the USB into the PlayStation, you should see a blue PlayStation Logo on your screen
Then, click on Start button.
You should see a list of the games available on that page.
From that menu, choose the one you need and click on Play button or try X instead if there is no Play
button
Then you should wait till everything is loaded

Customer Replay

Okay bear with me. It didn't work the first time

author

Take your time, I am here in chat

Customer Replay

Okay do I turn the PlayStation off then turn it on and then leave the game stick in the USB slot
Before I turn the PlayStation on, does the USB stick stay in the PlayStation?

author

Turn the Playstation off, then unplug the USB from the port 2. Wait for 60 seconds
Then turn the Play station back on and plug in the USB to port 2

Customer Replay

Okay, it takes me to a screen that says main menu

author

Did you see a Logo like this?

Customer Replay


No

Ok. When you go to Applications, what do you see there?

Customer Replay

Okay an applications. I only see 18 games.
At the bottom left screen it says retro Boot 1.1 no core
And in main menu it says load core or load content

author

Got you.
Seems like most of the data has not been loaded.

Customer Replay

I can take you to the next page of load core

author

Indeed. Usually, when you connect this stick to your PlayStation for the first time, you should see just a PlayStation logo, as I showed you before. To load all the data from a USB, you should click on X button on your console.
Is it possible that you missed some of these steps?

Customer Replay

I guess
I still don't know how it works

author

No worries. Try to follow the same steps I have provided before. Disconnect your USB stick, turn of the Play station, allow it some time, then connect everything again. Don't forget to Click on the left button on your Playstation to turn it on

Customer Replay

Ok

author

Keep me informed, please

Customer Replay

Ok sorry
I think it's been a minute

author

No worries, take your time

Customer Replay

When I went into load core it had a lot of files that had video game symbols on it but I couldn't get anything to play
Okay, I'm going to try plugging it in one more time

Customer Replay

So I plug it in then turn the PlayStation on

Customer Replay

I'm sorry it's just doing the same thing

Customer Replay

Is there any way you can call me?

author

Currently, we don't have an option to communicate via calls. However, I am ready to tackle this problem with you right now via chat.

Customer Replay

Ok
I'm loading something. I don't know what it's going to do

author

I see.
keep me informed, please

Customer Replay

Okay I have something here. I don't know if this is it. I'm going to send you a picture

Customer Replay

Lol I think this is it
