Hi Barrels
What does the mod allow you to do? Put the entire library on it? How is the mod called?
Checkout bleemsync and autobleem.
Via a USB thumb drive in the second controller port, you can have an additional custom OS with its own PS1 emulator. You can add PSX iso/cue files to the thumb drive and play them from there.
There are some limitations, including that it really should be usb2 (and not usb3) due to power constraints (unless you use a powered hub). Also, because it's recommended you use a FAT partition, your total partition size is limited (I think?)
Once you have a working installation for PS1 games, you can also load and use RetroArch on there, and many of the cores for other systems run just fine on it.
If this all sounds greek, I recommend you going straight to the sources:

https://github.com/screemerpl/cbleemsync
I personally used the second one, cbleemsync (which is Autobleem)
