Yeah it will probably just sit another week or so in China but at least the process for shipping has started :-)
Ordered January 15th 2026, shipping to US East Coast, ordered a dock as a separate order.
Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone knows roughly how long it takes the SuperStation to arrive in the UK with 4PX, from the date you get the tracking information.
I have seen some ranges as short as 7 days and some as long as 16, but I think they are for the US. FWIW, I have had good luck with Aliexpress ordes, normally get them quiet fast.
Just got mine today, so very excited 😄
Thanks in advance!
Now that folks are getting their hands on their SS1's what are the first 5 games you're looking to play from beginning to end on this thing? For me, I just beat Symphony of the Night and I've got these ones up next:
NeoTris (Neo Geo CD)
Mega Man Legends (PS1)
Klonoa (PS1)
Popful Mail (Sega CD)
Just got a Supersation One today off marketplace. It's been super cool to get setup and try a few things. PS1 games feel super responsive on an HDMI monitor that I was testing, I just have a few questions I can't seem to figure out.
does any old USB CD Drive work for reading discs? It would be cool if I didn't have to wait for the superdock
Is there a way to navigate the menus using only an attached PS1 controller? So far in my experience I've had to use a keyboard attached and that takes away from the ease of use / console experience for me. I get it for setup, but if that's going to be the normal experience it leaves a lot to be desired.
Is there a way to load ROMs from a USB drive? I would much prefer to do this instead of having to reformat another SD card and copy over all the files again and make sure bios works and whatnot.
Hoping someone who's spent a little more time with their unit can help me out, but otherwise it's been a really cool little device! I can't wait to try Sega Saturn, Sega CD and Neo Geo CD through a disc drive. Since everything is so new, it doesn't look like there is much written guides or documentation, just the video Taki put out for new users.
I opened my SS1 to install a 40mm Noctua fan (45mm hole layout but I made it work.. odd size??).
I found one loose silver mb screw bouncing around, and one of the heat sink fasteners had come loose, causing the heat sink to tilt up at a 30ish degree angle.
Easy fixes, but I wanted to drop this as a heads up for anyone who hasn't opened their SS1. It's worth checking to see if anything came loose in shipping or was overlooked during manufacturing.
On a positive note, the board layout is beautiful and I've had zero performance issues. I have an OG PS1 but the SS1 has become my preferred way to play. Totally converted me.
I didn't order a dock, does this mean it's coming with a dock?
As you can see it arrived with a damaged box and the top of the unit is scuffed and scratched and looks terrible.
Why would they ship this with zero protection and just in a plastic bag knowing it is going to get the worst shipping treatment.
Emailing support now as I won’t accept this. This was to be a playable display piece to me in my game room. All my consoles are CIB and on display. This was to be the same but in my display lights this looks terrible.
Hi everyone, every now and then I remember that I ordered the SS in 2025 (February 2nd). It was two consoles (gray and blue), no dock. The told me months ago about my order being part of batch 2, the order states wave 5, but it's still not actually shipped, it does not have a tracking number yet.
Should I be concerned seeing that they are actually shipping consoles which have been ordered in 2026 currently? Or is the shipping order just completely random? I mean, even their shipping dashboard states that "all remaining SS1 that do not contain a SuperDock have been shipped" (related to SS1 Batch 2 wave 5).
Except mine, apparently.
Anyone in a similar situation?
I forgot about this for the longest time but the last 2 months have been waiting like a kid for Christmas.
Starting to feel like my order is lost.
I did not, nor did I ever order the dock.
I at least have a tracking # as of this AM. The "Parcel information has been received" at least.
I did not expect to get one before Summer.
I received my SuperStationᵒⁿᵉ yesterday and wanted to share my experience as someone who's never touched FPGA until now. I had a few misconceptions coming in.
My TLDR comparing the SS1 to my original 7501 PS1:
The experience is not quite identical to the OG hardware. It feels like a PS1 with upgraded internals, producing fewer graphical slowdowns and loading hitches. I wanted to start with this because, based on the hype surrounding FPGA, I was expecting more of a 1-1 performance experience (for better or worse). I could see some folks missing those nostalgic 10fps moments.
The two games I've tested in depth so far (CHDs, I didn't opt for the disc drive yet):
Silent Hill 1: so crisp. I love it. This is one of my all time favorites and it runs so clean on the SS1. No hitches when monsters/audio load in compared to OG hardware. The game looks incredible upscaled on my 4K TV. I haven't bothered with CRT filters, as I don't mind the pixelation, and the SS1 keeps those foggy pixels and dithering crisp without smoothing.
Destruction Derby 2: same performance benefits, but I have mixed feelings on this one. I actually miss the slowdown when 20 NPC cars crush me in arena mode. I had time to assess my next move as I flew through the air with a dozen cars at bullet-time speeds. With the SS1, the lag is gone entirely. It looks amazing, but it's a totally different experience.
I don't plan to delve much deeper into comparisons, but I've decided I like my SS1. I've mostly seen the contrasting "FPGA is just emulation" and "FPGA is identical to OG hardware" takes. In my experience, the SS1 can be better than software emulation or OG hardware for different reasons, but there's still a solid case for keeping an OG PS1 around for that authentic jank flavor.
(edit: spelling)
So after a few days of messing with my SS1 using composite output only I've sort of come to the conclusion that composite output on both the SS1 and normal Mister just has "issues".
I know composite is objectively the worst signal you can use, one of my CRTs it's the only option and personally I like the look of it for some consoles even though it's "bad". I'd still like for it to be accurately bad lol.
Basically using the composite output so far I have had the following experience with the SS1 and two different CRTs. How the output behaves is dependent on the ini profile and video mode settings you use.
For each video mode this is what i've experienced.
subcarrier = mostly accurate color and luma but with diagonal artifacting (like diagonal strips over what should be a smooth gradient)
svideo = accurate color and picture but blown out luma (the best looking of the 3 although details in bright areas get washed out and can make text hard to read sometimes)
cvbs = accurate picture and color but super low luma (unusable)
subcarrier needs switch 3 down for color, svideo and cvbs need switch 3 up for color.
I've seen some discussion about cvbs needing specific updates to some cores but I didn't really find anything conclusive. I have tested genesis, snes, neogeo, n64 and ps1 so far and my experience across all of them is pretty much the same.
Also for reference I have a real SNES and PS1 and neither of their composite outputs look anything like any of the 3 modes listed above.
I haven't tried composite over vga or din10 yet but I'm going to once the adapter I ordered arrives.
using the s-video and component outputs both look good and as expected with the correct settings in the ini profiles for each.
A bit bummed about the composite output, not sure if this is a universal thing or not. Reading about composite output on non superstation mister a lot of the responses are just like "yeah composite is bad don't use it", hard to tell if those responses are just talking about composite in general or composite on the mister.
For now on my TV that only has composite I kinda prefer the blown out luma on the svid profile over the diagonal artifacting on the subcarrier mode. Neither is great though.
Anyone else have experience with the composite outputs on the SS1 or Mister? I still kinda feel like i just have something set wrong but idk.
I ordered a transparent blue SS1 on Feb 2 and got the tracking today. I was wondering I’m in US, PA how long on average do these take to ship from China?
Update to those posts of mine:
Superstation One Delivery to Germany not possible.
Warning: shipping Superstation One to Germany not allowed

RetroRemake had reacted to my posts and answered to my emails. They sent out a new unit using another shipping company, and this time my SuperStation One Founders Edition went through customs just fine and finally arrived today.
So, even though the support process took some time and was a bit, let's say sluggish - in the end everything was solved to my satisfaction.
Big thank you to RetroRemke for that.
I'll be off gaming and tinkering for now!
Especially during cut scenes which of course there are a lot of. I mean the whole game is pretty much one big cutscene. I've read that you turn wi-fi off to save on CPU or something. Trying to do that in scripts, there doesn't seem to be an 'off' button for the wifi radio. any ideas?
I am in Wave4+Dock which I think should be shipping around now so I logged into my account and it says "On its way Mar 25".
Does this mean its shipped? I have received no tracking number or other notification and nothing has come to my house. If I download the "shop" app and go to the order it says status unknown.
I have not been able to get a reply from retroremake and I don't know if this means it shipped but never arrived or it just has not shipped yet.
Any ideas?
Excuse the poorly placed screen protector. I’ll do a better job later. Took hours man. Very fun, learned a ton.
Hi all. Got my SuperStation One yesterday and have been working on setting it up and understanding (since it's my first MiSTer). I used MiSTer Companion and installed the RA_Viewer script and got that run/installed on the device, but noticed that didn't enable RA on the PSX core, and I don't see an option to do so.
Is RetroAcheivements supported on the PSX core? If so, how do I enable them?
TIA!
