Here's Your Best Look Yet At Taki Udon's SuperStation One FPGA PS1, And You Can Order It Now

Looks fantastic, especially that composite and component out ports, just swell. I made an order as soon as the site was open for business. I’m feeling like this is finally the FPGA device that gets me fully on board for the tech. Especially because if there’s one original controller I’d want to have wired into a new “clone” device, it’d be the PS1 dual shock controller, far and away. Looking forward to hooking it up to my tube TVs and retiring a few original consoles for now

128mb of Sdram is soldered to the board (bga?). Is there an additional slot for another 128mb for Saturn and Jaguar cores?

I'm tempted but have to say I'd be a lot more tempted if 1. I didn't already have the Anaologue 3D on the way in the next month or so and 2. If this had been designed with the disc tray opening on top like the PSOne.

@jimmytodgers
From what I understand Dual-RAM is not an option because the pins that would be used for that are being used for all the analog outputs.

Is there any advantage to getting one of those over just an mister? I don’t really care about having PSX controller ports.

I was waiting for dac support for my analogue pocket so I could connect it to my crt but analogue is taking too long so I may want another solution for that.

@Slobbert Price and ease of use. The last time I checked a complete DIY MiSTer kit was almost $400, but that was a while ago, not sure if prices have come down.

After this is out of the gate, I wonder if we’ll see comparable generalist devices. I dont have a ps1 controller and dont need specifically ps1 features. But a similar box that only plays games off microSD, similarly works with many system cores, has hdmi (maybe suited specifically for 4k tv—I don’t have tube!), and comes with a good controller that works for whatever… would be hard to say no to. At $150-200 anyway…!

Not too thrilled about the Composite & Component ports being placed on the sides like that. It's like a double-whammy version of the NES composite cable dangling off the side of the console-situation all over again. They should of just used 1 port on the back that's compatible with Composite/S-video & Component.

Either way, still tempting. It's either this, or a MiSTer Pi once they're back in stock.

@jesse_dylan Well it does have built-in bluetooth. You could also connect one of those 8bitdo psx-shaped receivers. In short you don't even need to touch the psx controller or memorycard ports but they are there.
To me this is a very neat tidy way to run a mister setup. To get everything that's here with my mister stack i have a huge stack of boards for io, usb, analog output, snac etc and still have a bunch of wires stick out for NFC and something else i'm forgetting.

If I wasnt already enjoying playing psx games via retroarch I'd be tempted but the Retro crisis shaders combined with BFI Crt shaders on a 32" 240hz OLED means I dont feel like I'm missing out.

Dont come at me with "accurate timing" waffle, I dont care lol

I couldn't be bothered to stay up until 2am UK for the launch, but by 8am that morning, there were still founders edition units remaining, although only the black ... which was fortunate in a way, as it saved me agonising over whether I should get that or the translucent blue version. I had expected them to be all sold out by that point, but when I saw it available, I just couldn't resist. I was tempted to wait and see what Analogue will do, but maybe they will tackle Saturn next, rather than PS1. I also put down a deposit for the base unit. Also, like another commenter, have an Analogue 3D coming. I really like that all this retro hardware is coming out. It's like a dream come true.
