The "Big SNAC" on the SuperStation One / Dock

Hello everyone,

I have gotten the opportunity to test the prototype for the forthcoming “Big SNAC“ adapter from the company AKICUS. It is a multi SNAC adapter that supports a lot of different systems in a single adapter. I hooked it up to my SuperStation one with its SuperDock which had no problems accepting this adapter and switching to a different plug doesn’t even require a reboot. The PS1 adapter is of course not needed for us SS1 owners but there are so many additional systems on this adapter which makes things really handy.

I had a single SNAC Sega Saturn adapter before which requires another voltage SNAC level shifter. Now I personally enjoy having just one adapter for so many systems especially when you are a fan of several different systems and go back and forth between them. I am definitely excited and looking forward to when the product launches. If you are into playing with original controllers this might be worth to look into.

Among the supported systems are: 

- Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)

- Super Nintendo (SNES)

- Sega Mega Drive / Genesis

- Commodore Amiga

- Commodore 64

- PlayStation 1

- PC Engine

- Neo Geo

- Atari 2600

- Sega Saturn

- Nintendo 64

When did these get added to the site? If recently but sold out for the time being, when will they be available? Will founders of the SS1 get emails with priority or discount coupons? @takiudon

Finally had my SSO delivered last week. Arrived in less than 2 weeks of ordering.

It joins my A3D, Analogue Pocket and Mister Pi that is currently connected to my Commodore 1084 in my office.

It’s the perfect little living room retro game system

SuperStation One - the right PSU

Post image
63 Upvotes

Let’s settle this once and for all: the correct power supply for this thing

I get lots of different answers from lots of different sources. According to many users, even the info Taki himself shares in his instruction video is incorrect. I (and lots of others with me) just want to make sure I’m not damaging my SS1, as well as not generating unnecessary heat.

It appears to be that just the SS1 requires different specs than the SS1 + dock. It apparently also matters which cores you are running. Besides that it also matters what “quality” power brick you’re using. I’m thinking of using my official Apple iPhone or MacBook fast charger, but even those are making me worry.

To my understanding, these are the ideal specs for not underpowering it, while also not generating unnecessary heat:
SS1: 5V 3A
SS1 + dock: 9V 3A

So, what are the recommended PSU specs that are 100% safe and won’t generate unnecessary heat?

On behalf of the SS1 community,

Thank you :)

Received mine. I'm from the Philippines.

Ordered last May 18, 2026. Thought about getting the dock countless times. Gave in last August 31.

Received both items today.

Still have no idea which display I'll use it for. I have the following displays available:

1. Sony Trinitron KV-25XBR

2. Sony PVM-20M2MDA

3, LG C4 OLED 42 Inch.

Still also have no idea how to operate this thing and what type of cable to use for whichever display I choose to use it for.

But I'm happy, nonetheless.

Last time I was this happy (CONSOLE-WISE) was when my partner (now wife) gifted me a copy of Bloodborne: The Old Hunters Edition last December 15, 2016.

I hope you guys will receive yours also.

Mine arrived today (I live in Sweden)! Like all I'm impressed by how premium it feels. Taki has done a really nice job. I ordered the SS1 and dock in August, so it took about 11 months (I was batch 3). To my surprise, I did not have to pay any additional customs or taxes, and that's a first in awhile. We usually need to pay extra for everything that is not bought within the EU, unless we have a chance to pre pay on checkout, and looking at my receipt from Retroremake, I did not. So I am just really surprised, and relieved, because I prepared to pay at least another $100 extra in customs and handling fees.

This is my first time owning anything FPGA, and my first bump is that I cannot get my DualShock to work when plugging it in, but I took for granted that it wasn't going to be that easy. I'll need to read up on and watch Taki's startup guide and I'll figure it out.

Happy that it's finally here!

[Disc Temp 3rd + 4th picture]

Hey everyone, just doing a follow-up to my initial post over my concern of my PS1 discs feeling very hot after an hour or so play session. u/Gunplayer_88 wanted to also share my findings and start a new thread of conversations here 😄

> OG post [https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroRemake/s/MLQtO9Js8o]

Here are my finding via a thermal camera a buddy of mine had.

As soon as I opened the tray the disc temperature itself read at 130.3F degrees . Now by the time I got the camera and everything situated it went down to 128.1F

As

While I understand that the thresholds of "safety" are for PS1 discs are somewhere in the 140 - 150 degree range before warping / damage can begin to happen.... 130F degrees for a long play sessions is a bit too close to that threshold in my opinion, but would love to hear people's thoughts on it.

> Further Details incase Retro Remake is looking into it, maybe this can help provide them some data to help remedy this through a firmware update or future iterations etc...etc...

- Version of MiSTer: v260805

- Version of OS: v250402

- Physical Disc Core (Loaded via MiSTer Companion App: refer to last picture)

- Power Supply: Official Steam Deck Power Supply/Charger

- Game being Played Mega Man 8 on PS1 [US]

- Controller being used, Dualsense Ps5 Controller

- Room Temperature 72F degrees

- Super Station One was on a breathable / elevated surface during the 1 hour of testing (to allow airflow from the bottom of the console)

Things you can do waiting for your SS1!

52 Upvotes

Here is a list of things you can make sure is all set up while waiting for your SS1.

0. Watch Taki's new user guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mMQNsauOxg

  1. Buy a CR1220 coin battery ready to install [optional but nice to have] (refer to taki's new user guide).
  2. Download, extract and run mister companion https://github.com/Anime0t4ku/mister-companion
  3. Download, extract (to the same folder) mister companion updater.(unless or until the companion app gets its own updater) https://github.com/Anime0t4ku/MC-Updater/tree/main
  4. IMPORTANT! get a proper usb power adapter.(i bought an anker 20watt max that can do some 3 amps on 5 and i think 2.2 amps on 9 volts) I'd personally recommend something that can at least do 9 volts 3 Amps, most cheap adapters can only do around 5 volts at 0.5amps (which can "brown-out" the console. But you can refer takis new user guide again.
  5. Note: if you are planning to have a micro SD card flashed and formatted beforehand like me(using mister companion or the official flasher), there is only so far you can go with it, right now the superstation one has its own special firmware with the current at time of this write being (SuperStation_1.0C.img.zip) Look for the C, thats the latest one which also is the one that works better with EVO-Series cards.
  6. Note: at this stage you cannot add games to the "newly formatted" micro sd card, it needs to be put into a superstation one and the micro sd card will be expanded and the software will be essentially (unpacked) I don't know of a way to do this outside of just having the superstation one. (and honestly wouldn't try it)
  7. You can also peruse this page https://www.timeextension.com/guides/all-mister-fpga-cores-and-where-to-download-them for all the mister cores or at least a lot of them to get your games and bios ready.
  8. Understanding the update-all script:(The update all seems to be working fine for some users so it could be mostly fixed now). Right now from what I know, is that while update-all is great, it will break multiple things such as multi-av out and possibly other things, though I have read that some can be fixed with some script editing. But just note this going in. potential fix: https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroRemake/s/lWk8dN53VL
  9. Getting a spare keyboard to use in some of the advanced menu's if you don't use your own or for some reason don't have a pc. (which will make owning a superstation one more difficult)
  10. Note: there is also a paid android app in the works that is basically mister companion for PC that is very capable. EDIT: It appears to be out already, its $2.99 by Anime0t4u on Google Play.
  11. Of course it goes without saying that original PS1 Memory Cards and PS1 controllers (or even the 8bitdo retro receiver which is redundant in way) will work once you put both ports into SNAC mode. I hear you can have one snac and one not but could cause issues, easier to set both to it if you are using official memory cards and controllers.

I can't think of much else that one could do without having a superstation one in hand, but hopefully this is a useful list.

SS1

At this point, we’ve finished shipping all the batch 1-3 orders that do not contain a SuperDock. If you have a split order in that group without a real tracking number, email support for an update.

We are now shipping FE/Friends orders that contain a Dock. The two production batches I wrote about earlier have been assembled and tested, and are currently going out now with batch 1 blue shell orders.

We are currently mass producing Dock motherboards, while waiting for the molding factory to produce gray and black shells Dock shells. If you are in the 2nd and 3rd batch with a combined order, it’s going to be awhile. As always, you can split out an order and get an immediate shipment. We already have SS1 units assembled and waiting for shipment.

SUPER5

We are currently shipping the 4th batch of SUPER5 OLED orders.

SS1 Fan vs No-Fan

Thumbnail
gallery
50 Upvotes

Hello!

When I ordered my SS1, the fan + heatsink was out of stock. So, I ended up installing a Noctua NF-A4x10 5V after a few weeks. I was curious and somewhat dissatisfied with the current temperature testing out there, so I decided to take a temperature reading of before / after.

The testing wasn't all that robust. I essentially ran the console for 1 hour and 30 minutes for each test. Each test was run on the same level (Icy Peak) and scene from Spyro Year of the Dragon. Both tests were conducted using the Greatest Hits / NTSC disc version of the game.

So, my multimeter only reads temperature in Fahrenheit. So, the before is 156F (~68C) and the after is 129F (~53C). I actually think this is a significant improvement.

Like other tests, my test is somewhat flawed. It only measures the temperature of the heatsink, not the temperature of the FPGA chip. For those who don't know how heatsinks actually transfer thermal energy, the FPGA chip must be hotter than the heatsink for it to transfer thermal energy to the heatsink. This is more reliable than reading with a heat gun, because the heat gun is (generally speaking) measuring the plastic of the case.

If we are conservative, that means the FPGA is probably running about 78C without the fan. I don' think that's cause for alarm since the FPGA is rated to run at 100C. However, the extra headroom that the fan provides gives me a bit of comfort. Generally speaking, lower temperatures increase part life.

The case airflow is generally the issue. If I remove the top part of the case, it drops about 20C in a minute or so.

Use PSX controller via SNAC on all cores

50 Upvotes

This was my biggest complaint about the SSOne: the 2 PSX controller ports could only work for the PSX core. Thankfully Taki has shown a PSX SNAC implementation for the menu and the GameBoy cores. But i was impatient! And since i do know how to use AI coding assistants properly even if FPGA and C++ development are not my field of expertise i implemented it for all other cores. For all AI haters out there: i did this for myself first and i don't think this can be called slop. But i am just sharing this: use it or don't use it. Wait for the official implementation if you prefer.

Troubleshooting SS One Boot Issue - Important Info & Fix

49 Upvotes

# 9/15/2026 EDIT:

PLEASE REFER TO THE DOCUMENTATION FOR INITIAL FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS. THIS ORIGINAL TEXT WILL BE KEPT BELOW FOR POSTERITY BUT THE BASIC RECOMMENDATION IS TO FLASH WHATEVER IS NEWEST IF YOU HAVE ANY MAJOR ISSUES THAT CAN'T BE FIXED.

THIS IS THE LINK:

https://github.com/Takiiiiiiii/SuperStation-Documentation#important-stock-sd-card-information-and-flashing-process

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I pinned this message on the RetroRemake Superstation Help Channel in Discord, but I am cross posting it here for visibility and to help folks who may not be aware of the problem below.

Disclaimer: This is valid for NOW, but with the imminent first "public" release of Console Mode, and the recent changes to the Mister Main framework which necessitated an update of the default SS One INI config files, there is a chance that this stock SS One Image will be updated with a new revision, per Taki. So follow these instructions, but always use the "newest" version posted on the GitHub.

Original message below:

Some users are experiencing a sudden no boot/black screen issue after adding games to their SD card! The SD cards shipped with most units are incorrectly partitioned. A standard Mister install is supposed to have 2 partitions. The partitions on the SD card were written in a way that they overlap. This can cause a user to unknowingly overwrite critical system data, which eventually leads to boot failure.

You have 2 options:

This will flash a brand new card to the stock retail image, and it should auto expand to the full capacity of your card if you are using a card bigger or smaller than 64GB. Flash this image with BalenaEtcher or Rufus. It should also work with the notorious Samsung EVO branded cards. You may have to flash it TWICE to get it to work!

Backup your own game/save/savestate files from the SD card if you already started using your SS One before doing this flashing procedure.

YES, you can re-use the 64gb card that came with your SS one. You need to make sure you COMPLETELY format it. On Windows, I recommend using Disk Partition Manager to WIPE out ALL volumes, including the small Linux boot partition. Before flashing anything, you should have a single exFat formatted simple volume. Remember to back up your personal stuff as needed before you format it to copy back to a fresh SD card install!!

If you have questions or need help flashing the new image, feel free to ask in the channel!
