Exciting news for retro gaming enthusiasts! A new console, named the SuperStation One, is set to hit the market soon, and it’s turning heads by supporting the classic PlayStation One system. This innovative console is rooted in the MiSTer FPGA open-source project and is being buzzed about on social media channels by well-known YouTuber and Bluesky user, Taki Udon. Priced at $149, the SuperStation One will be released on the Retro Remake website, while an additional SuperDock—reminiscent of the old PSone Combo pack—is available for pre-order at a mere $5, with a future price target of $35.
The standout feature of this console is its ability to play PlayStation One games natively, circumventing the need for emulator overhead. But that’s not all—it also accepts original PlayStation One memory cards and controllers, letting you dust off those old accessories and use them once more. Its connectivity options are quite versatile, featuring both analog and digital outputs. Whether you’re planning to connect it to a nostalgic 13-inch CRT monitor or a state-of-the-art 85-inch OLED TV, the SuperStation One has you covered. Plus, it boasts modern amenities such as NFC, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, fully bridging the classic and contemporary console experience.
Taki Udon has teased that while disc support isn’t shown in the current images, it seems likely to arrive along with the SuperDock. This feature will allow players to dive back into their old game library, with the addition of four USB-A ports and a 2280 m.2 SSD bay for convenient memory expansion.
Imagery of the SuperStation One reveals its sleek design, ready to capture the interest of Millennials and the younger Gen Xers who spent childhood hours on these beloved games. This console doesn’t just cater to nostalgia, though—it offers a chance for newer generations to explore timeless classics, potentially spurring them to engage in preserving gaming history.
Thinking about revisiting your favorite titles or introducing them to your children? The console alone is a tempting $149, yet remember that you’ll need your original controllers and memory cards—or you might have to purchase those separately. For a full setup with the capability to play CDs and expand memory, an additional $35 for the dock should be considered.
Altogether, this brings the system’s price to around $184. If you’re able to snag some affordable retro controllers and other necessary accessories, you could relive the complete PlayStation One experience for just about $250. And if you’re willing to go the extra mile, why not hunt down a 43-inch CRT TV to perfectly complement your retro gaming setup?
