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.

Color matching result. Sony has some fire clear blue shell colors.

You can just build stuff. Here’s to 5 years of willing SuperStation One into existence.

Assembling SuperStation One v1.1 boards for verification.

We spent the last 8 months creating a user-friendly frontend for MiSTer FPGA. Here's a look at Console Mode running on SuperStation one. Video: youtu.be/a7ER1rDxXTA

It seems like it wouldn't be expensive given how small this is, but I spent a small fortune making this user-replaceable SS1 controller connector. Here's the mass production version:

Here's the first retail version of SUPER5 Touch + HDMI in the world. I'll be building this for a tutorial and then giving it away.

I prototyped four PCB colors with the clear blue SS1 shell. I decided to go with white because it looks the best.

RR is closed today due to a super typhoon. The office is safe, but losing two days is unfortunate right before a big national holiday.

Clear Blue / Classic Gray

I don't have a banana for scale, but the mold is huge.

The SS1 mold factory is a ride or die.

The Shenzhen branch of Retro Remake turned 1 today. Employee #1 joined on November 5th. Today, there are 15 people that work at the company not including me. It's a big change.

I finally populated the last section of Console Mode. Here’s the arcade directory with screenshot support. It makes picking games much easier if you aren’t familiar with the titles.

Midnight Blue SuperStation one. Ignore the surface finish, SS1 isn't high gloss. It looks beautiful.

Update: We made further revisions to this hardware. Its been sitting at the stage of creating a mass production version for a few weeks because I moved the product engineer to the SS1 team. The S7 OLED redesign finished yesterday, so I moved that engineer to S5 HDMI Dock.

MiSTER Pi batch 5 preorders have been added to the store.

MiSTER Pi Packs are back in stock as a non-preorder. We also added a 4-Player N64 SNAC Adapter & MiSTER Pi RTC to the store. Preorders for the third shipping batch window of SuperStation are also live.🎮

I’ve been messing around with N64 carts on SuperStation. Speed would need to drastically improve to make this practical.

My little engineer is doing some testing this weekend on SuperStation one.

First boot, LFG!
