My first point and click adventure Woolley Mountain didn't get that much exposure when it first released, but I've been slowly building a strong fan base (thank you!) - it's now on most platforms so why not check it out?

It’s the grand opening day of the @retrocollective.co.uk Workshop build today. For the last 8 month we have restored a Victorian Pump house into a storage and workshop space to restore Arcades, Computers, Console and more. It would not have been possible without all the support.

(1/2) A crap week or two has taken me away from the fun of #retrodev. I wasn't about to give any Black Friday offers so today & tomorrow (30th/1st) just drop me a message if you're after any of my products and I'll look to perhaps do free postage, throw in a freebie or knock a couple quid off.

I’m thinking about having Retro Remake host a PS1 homebrew game jam with cash prizes and free SuperStation one units.

Thoughts?

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, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.
This is a very impressive PS1 game by @eliasdaler.bsky.social running on SuperStation.

We ended up improving this further. Today, we finished validating SS1 v1.2 after two weeks of testing. I am confident in saying we have the best analog gaming platform.

5 analog video outputs + 4 analog audio outputs + HDMI, and all of them work simultaneously.

It’s been a few months and I have a new update on SS1 disk reading. We ended up improving disk reading to be on par with loading from an SD in almost all CD-cores.

All CD cores except PS1 = indistinguishable from SD.

PS1 = edge cases where a game can be <1% slower.
Doing some testing of SS1 reading PS1 data directly from a disk without dumping the data first. It’s much better than I expected.

That being said, copying games to the SD or SSD is still the optimal strategy for performance. It’s a one-time process and better for random access.

We prototyped some ~$10 PS1/PS2 memory cards for SuperStation. They work very well.

I’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.

We spent the last 8 months creating a user-friendly frontend for MiSTer FPGA. Here's a look at Console Mode running on SuperStation one.

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:
