SuperStation One Gets Its First Major Console Mode Release

Taki Udon's SuperStation One, an FPGA recreation of the PS1, gets its first major Console Mode software release this week, roughly doubling performance over earlier builds.

The SuperStation One, an FPGA recreation of the original PlayStation from Taki Udon, is getting the first major release of its Console Mode software this week. According to Time Extension, the update roughly doubles performance over earlier builds and brings in the device’s custom interface. The hardware runs PS1 games, works with original accessories, and also supports other systems through MiSTer FPGA cores.

Console Mode matters because it is the piece that makes a project like this usable for people who do not want to assemble a MiSTer setup themselves. A consumer-facing, PS1-shaped FPGA console is a real addition to the small field of accurate hardware recreations, and the software is what decides whether it lives up to that.

RetroRGB has reported an audio channel reversal issue in the current build, so early adopters should treat this first release as exactly that.
