Get ready to relive your childhood gaming days! A new retro console, the SuperStation, is here to bring back the magic of the PlayStation One. What’s the twist? It uses FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) chips to replicate the original hardware, offering a more authentic experience than traditional software emulators.

One of the coolest features? It works with your old PS1 accessories, so grab that DualShock controller from the attic. While it doesn’t play original game discs directly, there’s an optional "SuperDock" accessory with a tray-loading CD drive for those who still have their disc collections. The SuperDock also packs an internal M.2 slot for an SSD and four extra USB-A ports. Right now, you can reserve it for $5, with the final price expected to hover around $40.

What sets the SuperStation apart is its ability to run other FPGA "cores," thanks to its foundation on the MiSTer platform. Think of cores as emulators—each one lets you play games from different retro systems like the Nintendo 64 or Sega Saturn. This open-source approach means the SuperStation is versatile from day one, giving you access to a massive library of classic consoles.

For retro gaming enthusiasts, the SuperStation is a dream come true—combining nostalgia, accuracy, and modern convenience. Pre-orders are open, so don’t miss your chance to dive back into the golden age of gaming!
