Taki Udon Lifts the Curtain on SuperStation One FPGA Console, Expanding Retro Gaming for MiSTer and PS1 Fans
Taki Udon, the well-known retro gaming hardware developer, has officially unveiled the SuperStation One FPGA system, aiming to set a new standard for multi-platform retro game consoles.
Fully compatible with MiSTer FPGA cores, this innovative hardware allows enthusiasts to experience PlayStation 1 titles and games from a variety of classic systems on modern displays, utilizing authentic controllers and accessories.
SuperStation One is engineered around the Cyclone V FPGA, a powerful field-programmable gate array known for highly accurate hardware emulation.
According to the official website, "SuperStationᵒⁿᵉ is designed to play PS1 games, but the hardware fully supports the MiSTer FPGA platform.
If gamers wish to explore titles from other systems, they can simply load up a compatible core—no jailbreak required."
One of the standout features is robust legacy hardware support.
In a rewritten statement from the SuperStation One site, it emphasizes: "For a retro gaming console to truly serve enthusiasts, native support for original hardware is essential.
SuperStationᵒⁿᵉ offers diverse video output options, including the ability to output simultaneously via digital and analog, ensuring a flexible connection to classic and modern displays alike."
Retro Remake, a reputable source in the retro gaming space, further clarifies that the SuperStation One does not include any pre-installed games or copyrighted content.
The system is designed to legally support playing backups of PS1 games and ROMs for other platforms through the included 64GB Micro SD card or an external USB drive.
Expanded disk support and additional input/output interfaces are available with the optional SuperDock accessory.
The technical specifications of the SuperStation One reinforce its status as a top-tier retro platform.
The device includes a Cyclone V FPGA, 128MB BGA SDRAM for fast data access, a 24-bit ADV7125 Video DAC for high-fidelity visuals, and built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
An NFC reader, compatible with Zaparoo, expands the console's interaction potential.
Users benefit from active and passive cooling options, helping maintain optimal performance during extended play sessions.
In terms of connectivity, the SuperStation One accommodates a variety of system setups via HDMI (up to 1536p and 1440p), VGA, DIN10, composite/RCA, and component outputs.
Audio is delivered through 3.5mm analog and TOSLINK digital ports, ensuring both legacy compatibility and modern fidelity.
Power is supplied via USB Type-C, and three USB Type-A ports provide room for additional peripherals.
Dual PS1 SNAC ports offer plug-and-play support for authentic PlayStation accessories, while an IO expansion slot allows for integration with the SuperDock.
Out of the box, buyers receive the SuperStation One console, a pre-installed 64GB Micro SD card, HDMI cable, and USB Type-C charging cable.
At the time of this announcement, demand for the new system was high, with units reportedly selling rapidly through official channels.
For retro gaming fans and collectors searching for an authentic yet flexible way to revisit classic titles, the SuperStation One’s official release marks a major milestone in FPGA-based game consoles.
With its blend of legacy hardware compatibility and MiSTer FPGA support, Taki Udon’s latest device brings an expansive library of past generations to the living room, all via a user-friendly, high-performance platform.
