This is the best SUPER5 OLED system I’ve seen. It’s hard to believe FF7 RE runs this well on a Switch Lite.

A wild SuperStation appeared!

Hi

Japanese launch edition

The SuperStation One new user guide is finally done.

Full circle moment

I’ve been wondering why I’ve been hearing about Open Claw so much in China lately and then I saw this pop up on an employee’s computer today….

The office is closed for the first weekend in a long time. I'm working on a main channel SS1 unboxing/first look with a ton of info from the full dev journey (possibly including fabrication/fulfillment). Is there anything you'd like to see covered? I'm a semi-open book.

I just want to put this out into the universe again. If you are a homebrew game dev of a system that runs on MiSTer (GB, NES,MD, etc) with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to include it in SuperStation’s Season 1 Homebrew DLC Pack. forms.gle/aAja7HEZQnga...

Nintendo Switch 2’s new Handheld Mode Boost is exactly what I asked for in my review last year:

Do not disconnect. 🎧

Wave 5 is in production now, which includes every remaining FE SS1 + a chunk of batch 2. Wave 6 goes into production tomorrow. It includes the rest of batch 2 and all of batch 3. SuperDock production will scale faster due to shorter PCB turnaround times.

4 years ago, I started filming an ambitious series to document the process of bringing a handheld from idea to production. I set target @ ~$20, with perf that matched ~$70 devices. Filmed everything and paused before MP to make Retro Remake. The RAM alone for that is now $20….

Kinda wild it’s already been 4 years…

The saga continues. Azkali added 1080p Android support for SUPER5 OLED.

We are now assembling/shipping SuperStation v1.2.3 (wave 4) in the second office. We have 14 testing stations and 16-32 spots for assembly and packing. To put this into context, we only had a single testing station for wave 1, and only had enough space for 4 people to assemble.

I think it’s finally time to get back into making gaming handhelds…. I added several to Retro Remake’s 2026 roadmap, and the first one is almost done. It’s 🔥.

Console Mode is going into open beta testing for SuperStation/MiSTER Pi owners. If you are interested, head over to Discord. We have a special role and channel for feedback: discord.gg/t3ZywMBvh

I believe video game consoles have a 0% tariff now. It was 10% before today.

I watched a movie today where a rally team uses an AI chip called SS1 to beat another team that had the second generation of SS1 in their car (called SS8). SuperStation Eight confirmed. 😅

Exploded view This seems like too many screws 😅

The SuperDock in clear blue. ❤️

A black PS1 is 🔥 (we are now shipping black SS1 Founders/Friends Edition orders.)

Hello, 2026. 123

Hello! Would you like a long, distracting read about chasing a dream, perfecting analog video, battling AI-driven manufacturing shortages, and sticking to the principle of doing right by the open source MiSTer community? Here's that

Connecting office 1 to office 2.

Messing around with adding PS1 controller support to stuff. It’s awesome for FPGA cores that don’t have SNAC controller options.

A new Classic Gray (without a painted logo) SS1 sample arrived.

I finished the tutorial for the SUPER5 HDMI kit. Such a huge weight off my shoulders.

I jinxed it and ended up adding several additional months of R&D. Here's the final result of adding HDMI to the Switch Lite. I love how there was just enough space to fit this connector. It's almost like it was made to be. SUPER5 OLED Touch + SUPER5 HDMI

Region free PS1 = ❤️ Japanese PS1 games are super cheap.

The first SuperStation units are starting to arrive! Real end-user photos:

Merry Christmas. We are still doing QA and shipments today.

More behind the scenes

Behind the scenes

Hi

I’m thinking about having Retro Remake host a PS1 homebrew game jam with cash prizes and free SuperStation one units. Thoughts?

Last call - we are only short on N64, GBA, and MD/Genesis.

I just want to put this out into the universe. If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.

This is a very impressive PS1 game by @eliasdaler.bsky.social running on SuperStation.

We ended up improving this further. Today, we finished validating SS1 v1.2 after two weeks of testing. I am confident in saying we have the best analog gaming platform. 5 analog video outputs + 4 analog audio outputs + HDMI, and all of them work simultaneously.

I decided to go with launch NTSC packaging for the Founders Edition.

The white PCB makes the color pop.

SuperStation looks beautiful.

It’s been a few months and I have a new update on SS1 disk reading. We ended up improving disk reading to be on par with loading from an SD in almost all CD-cores. All CD cores except PS1 = indistinguishable from SD. PS1 = edge cases where a game can be <1% slower.

8-bit, but plenty of case colors.

We prototyped some ~$10 PS1/PS2 memory cards for SuperStation. They work very well.

I’ve never been more proud of a product I worked on. The team put so much effort into making SS1 the best FPGA platform possible.
