Software Update: BleemSync 1.0.1

Several manufacturers have released minis of their game consoles in recent years. Sony did that in 2018 with the PlayStation Classic, a compact version of the first PlayStation with twenty games preinstalled. Of course the hacking scene does not sit still, and to compile the list of games yourself, you can use BleemSync. In addition, it can emulate other consoles by offering RetroArch as a boot option, has support for ntfs and exfat, and overall performance is more stable. The developers released version 1.0.1 a while ago with the following list of changes:
