It’s the grand opening day of the @retrocollective.co.uk Workshop build today. For the last 8 month we have restored a Victorian Pump house into a storage and workshop space to restore Arcades, Computers, Console and more. It would not have been possible without all the support.

(1/2) A crap week or two has taken me away from the fun of #retrodev. I wasn't about to give any Black Friday offers so today & tomorrow (30th/1st) just drop me a message if you're after any of my products and I'll look to perhaps do free postage, throw in a freebie or knock a couple quid off.

I’m thinking about having Retro Remake host a PS1 homebrew game jam with cash prizes and free SuperStation one units.

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.

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.

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.

Doing some testing of SS1 reading PS1 data directly from a disk without dumping the data first. It’s much better than I expected.
That being said, copying games to the SD or SSD is still the optimal strategy for performance. It’s a one-time process and better for random access.

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.

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:

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.

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