Congrats on the win and happy Halloween! ๐Ÿคก๐ŸŽˆ

I don't usually do giveaways but I actually won an EverDrive GBA Mini from @retrobitflip.com that arrived earlier today! These usually cost $100, so it's great to get one without having to put down any money. Sadly, I have to wait to try it out, because I don't think I have any spare micro SD cards.

My passion project got upgraded. Weโ€™ve been making a lot of progress on FPGBA SP. Yes, it plays real cartridges, and yes, I am considering a regular FPGBA version. Iโ€™m still trying to make this work for around $100.

We added PS1 controller support and CRT mode. Still ironing out bugs, but it works well.

The first major release of Console Mode beta drops this week with a ton of features. Two new game views, on device artwork scraping, screenshot viewer, resolution switching, retro achievement support, and per game core overrides. All with double the performance of earlier builds.

I just want to put this out into the universe again. If you are a homebrew game dev of a system that runs on MiSTer (GB, NES,MD, etc) with a free version or a free demo of you game, Iโ€™d love to include it in SuperStationโ€™s Season 1 Homebrew DLC Pack. forms.gle/aAja7HEZQnga...

#homebrew #developers @takiudon.bsky.social is looking for you! This is a great opportunity and Iโ€™d love to have some unique experiences shipped with the ROne!

I just want to put this out into the universe. If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, Iโ€™d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.

Love that the first games fired up are Metroid and Zelda!

Got my SD card for the EverDrive GBA I won from @retrobitflip.com! And what better way to show that I've got this wonderful little thing working than with my old DS from 2004? Shown running GBA and GBC games.

SuperStation looks beautiful.

Iโ€™ve never been more proud of a product I worked on. The team put so much effort into making SS1 the best FPGA platform possible.

10 days left! #reshare with your #retro pals!

It seems like it wouldn't be expensive given how small this is, but I spent a small fortune making this user-replaceable SS1 controller connector. Here's the mass production version:

5. To further repairability, we designed a modular dock connector, NFC reader, SD/USB interface, and controller/memory card module. Simply remove a few screws and detach the ribbon cable to swap in a new part if any of these fail.

Guess what?! You can now buy Balatro (am I Dad?) and the demonic lovechild CloverPit in a bundle on Steam!

I actually sent some feedback to the folks over at 8bitdo for just such a thing. Looks like I'll be checking one of these out.

I had some downtime after work today, so I added preliminary support for loading Sega CD games from disk without dumping on SuperStation. It works very well! Iโ€™ll try Sega Saturn when I get a chance.

Rounding out the week with adding support for playing physical audio CDs on SS1. It works in any core with audio CD support in the BIOS.

Added preliminary support for loading PC Engine CD games from disk without dumping on SuperStation. This system is fast, but it needs more work. Iโ€™ll circle back after PSX is perfected.

So much gold. A new SS1 PCB arrived this morning.
