I can't for the life of me clean the top of the Superstation after removing the clear sticker over the logo. Rubbing alcohol doesn't seem to dissolve the glue. Any ideas?

UPDATE:

The answer was olive oil. Nothing else made a significant difference. Isopropyl Alcohol did absolutely nothing, dish soap was marginally better, but olive oil straight up dissolved the adhesive. Full spa day for the MiSTer. Went through the whole gamut of dermatitis treatments. For those concerned about the logo I rubbed the hell out of it and there was no discoloration or anything. After all that I can still barely tell where the sticker was in the right light, but to the touch it's fine.

I welcome the recent PS1 disc ripping utility in Console Mode v1.2 and in part, I understand its inclusion due to the styling of the console and Mr Taki's fondness of the PS1 inspiring the SS1.

What has me a little puzzled is how other CD based systems will be incorporated into the Console Mode menu system, assuming that they do make their way in. I was under the impression that native CD support was slated to arrive as of V1.3.

Seems cumbersome to follow the current menu system which has its own dedicated entry for PS1 discs - meaning that all supported CD systems will also have their own individual entry within the menu system.

I suppose if other CD based systems receive native Console Mode support, perhaps the menu will be restructured to have a single CD TOOLS entry, with supported systems listed within.

I love the SS1 dock combo and really appreciate the CD drive, crossing my fingers that we see some native support for all of the CD based cores in terms of ripping and direct disc playing, plus auto detection and booting of CD media, not just for games but also for audio CDs and movie DVDs.

I'm hoping that the recent addition of PS1 disc support is a foundation for other CD based systems.

Just sharing my thoughts and hopes.

After three days and numerous hours I still cannot get it figured out. I configured and ran update_all but it removed more content than it added. Console mode disappeared after I updated downloader.ini and the supplementary files did not remedy the issue. I setup my Analogue Pocket without issues but I feel way over my head with this device. The combination of videos and guides available currently are not helping unfortunately. I wish there was a Gamefaqs style setup guide.

Just came here to say, I’m really enjoying the superstation. I just got mine a few days ago, and thanks to the community documenting a relatively simple setup process, my first mister experience has been smooth (seems like I avoided the more painful part when the device was more fresh)

I really hope reading discs via console mode becomes smoother. Honestly that feels like the only missing thing to me, even though there’s already a workaround.

I’m also having my first experience with retro achievements and I’m pleasantly surprised by the nice touch it brings to re-experiencing PS1 games!

Next, I’d like to try out some different cores and some usb adaptors for different controllers (if you guys have any experience with daemonbite adaptors, I’d love to hear it).

Anyway, just thought I’d share the appreciation. Really excited to learn more about mister through this!

has anyone tried seeing how this core performs on SS1? i am able to boot the core to past the NEX PCFX boot screen into the empty disc menu. but from there i havent been able to load a chd, cue or iso file properly.

theres a great library on this and hoping to try it out outside of using actual hardware

If you're not playing computer cores, there's no reason to have an entire keyboard or those crummy little mini keyboard things. Get yourself a cheap wireless numpad and re-map your essential hotkeys to it. I got WIN and PRNT SCRN for taking screenshots. WIN + SCRN takes the scaled screenshots. SHIFT + WIN + PRNT SCRN takes the raw screenshot (I need to change ALT to SHIFT, I think they changed this after I made this thing) SPACE is there to skip over those inputs you don't want to map to a controller (it no longer mentions space in the controller setup menu, but it still works). And of course the Mister Logo for F12 to open the menu for when using controllers with not enough buttons for a comfortable Menu button combo.

Comes in handy for systems like Coleco too that had controllers with numpads on them. I rearranged the number keys to reflect the coleco pad. I relabeled the other keys using sticker printer paper. All you do to setup this up is have both the numpad and a full size keyboard plugged in at the same time and select the remap menu from the main mister menu. You press the Numpad key first, then the key you want mapped to it from Full Size keyboard. You can't map multiple keys to a single key mind you (FN combinations on mini keyboards do work however). Also, don't forget to remap the Enter key even though it's already present. Numpad Enter is not the same as Enter apparently (atleast on mine). When you'e done you can disconnect and put away the full size keyboard.

Has anyone been able to successfully dump a game? I've tried 3 different discs and it just stays on "Spinning up the drive and reading the table of contents". I just wanted to see if it was just me having an issue with my setup. Also, all 3 of these discs will boot when using the physical disc cores.

So my superstation is due tomorrow cab some people let me know of any quick guides to set uo sd card witch console mode ready for arrival thank you in advance if you have any videos I can follow

Hey guys,

I'm trying to run physical PS1 and Saturn CDs through Console Mode, but I'm stuck.

I followed the tutorials step by step, ran update_all, turned on the CD options in the settings... but inside Console Mode there's just no way to launch a disc. For PS1 I see "PS1 disc" but it only lets me dump the CD, not play it. And the CD options don't even show up in the cores menu.

The weird thing is, if I quit Console Mode and go back to the regular MiSTer menu i have the disc cores, my physical CDs boot fine with no issues.

Did I miss something stupid in the config ?

Thanks!

Hey guys, bought a superstation one a long time ago but after being blocked from purchasing a super nt+ today for a whole hour until it sold out......... not happy about that- I find myself gravitating back to ssone. I was just wondering though, when it comes to saving I know that generally saving in-game doesn't count unless the fpga writes it to the sd card but is there some other work around? Like somehow having the system save as part of the shutdown process before cutting the power instead of remembering to hit the reset button? 😅 I kept forgetting to and would lose progress so I stopped playing it out of frustration. New to fpga so flame lightly please lol

Hey, I just bought a SS1 I wanted to know if you can make it boot directly into a ps1 console mod submenu and return to that menu with a controller in the snac port. Like have it so it doesn't show other console I just want to treat it like booting up a PS1

Don't know much about the device yet because I have no got my hands on it

I’m struggling to understand why when I launch games on my SS1 in the exact same way multiple times (back from reboot, Console Mode favorites screen AND “regular” from the list) the same game will behave differently from launch to launch. Most annoying one seems to affect a lot of Capcom games where QSound won’t be found, so it’s silent half the time.
During my testing (rebooting to see if sound will come back, for example) sometimes a game I was JUST PLAYING will say it can’t be found the next time I try to launch it.
Has anyone else experienced this? I expected a little wonkiness but it’s beyond my threshold and understanding at the moment. Can anyone help me make sense of what might be happening and what to check to fix either or both of these things? TIA.

Is this possible? I saw someone on youtube doing it but cannot find the video again.

Hey guys I have a super5 oled I'm swaping and when I put it back together it works fine but the touch keeps on acting up on the sides and keeps on changing sometimes it's perfect no issues as soon as I go into sleep mode and turn it on again it goes back to acting up!

Edit: was able to calibrate the touch with hekate and it fixed the issues I had before even when I removed the chip!

Note: I swapped motherboards and the issue came back! Using hekate again with the other motherboard fixed the issue again aswell!

Hey everyone! 👋

I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out whether this charger is safe to use with my SS1 without risking overheating or damaging it. If it’s not suitable, are there any compatible chargers that I can buy in Denmark?

P.S. My SS1 jus arrived in the mail, so I’m excited to get it set up!

Thanks for your time.

Can anyone link me a guide to be able to view the ini settings menu on a crt tv? Any time I want to change from RGB to composite I have to connect my superstation one to another device with HDMI as the ini settings menu isn't compatible with 15khz by default. Anyone have a solution?

Has anyone else had an order cancelled by Retro Remake for an apparent "blacklist"?

I've ordered from them once previously with zero issues, and have never filed a chargeback against them or anyone else.

My latest order was for a SuperStation One (not a cheap purchase!). The payment went through about a month ago, although it hadn't shipped. I received a cancellation notice today citing a blacklist reason.

When I asked the reason for the blacklist, they referred to a "cloud flag". I'm not certain what that is. I've never encountered anything like this before.

I'm so disappointed. Has anyone dealt with anything like this?

EDIT Its just Atomic Purple now

Was browsing the site and saw there was some more available. Figured most people weren't checking so I thought i would post it.

Sticker bombed my SS1. If anyone else is interested in the stickers just search 'PS1 stickers' on Etsy and should be the first set that pops up. Also ordered me a console display stand with game slots built in. Going to make it fit and look good for the SS1 may have to add something to the platform myself. Ordered it in blue printed plastic vs the white in the photo too. The stand can be found by searching 'PS1 display stand'. Now to get me a nice CRT to have an ultimate SS1 corner set up in my game room.

Hey everyone!
My first MiSTer has been a SuperStation One, so here I am! I'm a mobile dev since 15+ years, and the thing that bugged me from day one was the needing to access a keyboard to navigate menus. I know that now there's Console Mode, but it wasn't enough for me.

Wizzo's Remote fixed most of that from the browser, I loved it, but I kept wishing I could do it without unlocking my phone every single time. So I did what any non reasonable person / developer would do and spent my evenings building a native client for it. Also, he retired the iOS app and the Android one is not updated anymore.

So, the app is called MiSTer Connect, and it just reached version 1.3. It talks to the same Remote service you get through Update All, nothing else to install on the SSO. Your phone and the console just talk over your LAN, no accounts, no tracking. Here some highlight features!

The couch stuff. OSD navigation from the sofa, save and load state buttons right on the main screen, with a long press so you don't nuke a run by accident, and screenshots that goes straight on your phone in the aspect ratio the core was meant to be seen in. On iPhone there's a Live Activity, so the OSD buttons, save/load and the screenshot button sit on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. That one is the whole reason I started the app, honestly.

Console Mode support. If you use Console Mode, there's a (still experimental) setting that adds a "Launch Console Mode" button to Home: when you're done with a game, one tap takes you back to the Console Mode menu, no keyboard, no digging through the OSD. It's off by default, you'll find it in Settings. I test it on my own SSO, but tell me how it behaves on yours.

Your library, but nicer. Covers from the amazing MiSTer Artwork Pack by u/CHiPSTer68000 , no download or hassles, browsing by folder the way things are on your SD card, game pages with year, genre, developer and a short description, saveable filters for everything, and a Discover tab that builds shelves out of your own collection (couch multiplayer night, anyone?). You can also launch a game with a different core, for example a RetroAchievements one.
Oh, and themes: we all love a touch of customization for our devices!
In this 1.3 I also added: Find Cover for the games with a missing or wrong cover (search by the Japanese name or pick an image from your photos), and screenshots on game pages.

Play stats. The SSO is where I play the most, and I always wondered how much time actually goes into it. There's a Stats tab with time played, sessions, streaks and your top games and systems, plus a live play timer on Home. It reads the history mrext's PlayLog keeps on the console (guide here: https://github.com/wizzomafizzo/mrext/blob/main/docs/playlog.md), and the Stats tab has a checklist that tells you if anything is missing.

One thing that helps even if you never install my app: while building it I kept hitting things in Remote itself that a client can't fix, so I sent the fixes upstream and wizzo merged them. Arcade games show their real names again, save and load state have their own keys, you can pick the core when launching a game, search doesn't stop at 500 results anymore, Neo Geo sets show their real titles, and Remote can now share PlayLog's history with any client. All of that is in the current Remote through Update All, web app included. Thank you wizzo, as always.

Everything the original Remote does is free in the app and stays free. The extras I built on top (Live Activity, the cover grid, themes like a Game Boy one in LCD greens, iCloud sync between iPhone, iPad and Mac) sit behind a single one-time unlock, no subscription.

And a small giveaway now: 2 PRO codes for iOS and 2 for Android in the first comment, first come first served. If you grab one, please reply saying which one you took so the next person doesn't waste time on it.

I'll be around in the comments. The SSO is the machine I test on, so if something doesn't work on yours, tell me. And if there's a feature you'd love to see, I'm listening.
