SuperStation One FPGA console makes appearance in Midnight Blue

The SuperStation One appeared on X, and it looks great.

The SuperStation One is an FPGA (field programmable gate array) console that is designed to mimic the Sony PlayStation One (or PSX, as some know it). Like other FPGA consoles, the SuperStation One can operate like the original PlayStation at a hardware level, in contrast to the more common software emulation. As such, it should perfectly recreate the PSX experience without any of the flaws or bugs inherent in software emulators. 

Taki Udon, the lead developer behind the project, posted a picture of the console in a "Midnight Blue" color scheme, which is a dark navy blue. Taki stated that the glossy plastic shell isn't the final material that will be used, but called the color "beautiful." 

Taki posted a video a couple of weeks ago of the SuperStation One booting into the iconic PlayStation One startup screen, replete with the orange Sony logo and bass-heavy synth swell gamers have come to love. The console was able to boot into the original PSX BIOS with options to check data on a memory card or launch a CD player tool. 

In addition to playing PlayStation One games, Taki stated earlier this year that it would support all MiSTer FGPA cores, meaning it could replicate a variety of retro consoles at a hardware level. This includes notoriously difficult to emulate consoles like the Sega Saturn and Nintendo 64. 

The Super Station One is expected to start shipping out by Q4 of this year. Preorders are still available for the third batch, which will ship 2026Q1, for $199. The price at launch will be $225, making it one of the more affordable FPGA consoles on the market.
