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?

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

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

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

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?

I can take you to the next page of load core

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?
