4 years ago, I started filming an ambitious series to document the process of bringing a handheld from idea to production. I set target @ ~$20, with perf that matched ~$70 devices. Filmed everything and paused before MP to make Retro Remake. The RAM alone for that is now $20….
Kinda wild it’s already been 4 years…
Yes, in the same box.
Should be next week.
I only sent out 3 units to YouTubers, and that was after shipping thousands go customers. If anyone else has one, they bought it and got lucky with an early shipment.
Same screen with a different firmware.
The saga continues. Azkali added 1080p Android support for SUPER5 OLED.
Easier UART connector
They are the same. The changes we did are to improve manufacturing speed. Standard cables and connectors for USB / SNAC, integrated WiFi antenna, and better NFC plug.
Wave 3 had 12 testing stations, but we needed to stop testing to use the same space for assembly, so this is a massive upgrade.
We are now assembling/shipping SuperStation v1.2.3 (wave 4) in the second office. We have 14 testing stations and 16-32 spots for assembly and packing. To put this into context, we only had a single testing station for wave 1, and only had enough space for 4 people to assemble.
I think it’s finally time to get back into making gaming handhelds….
I added several to Retro Remake’s 2026 roadmap, and the first one is almost done. It’s 🔥.
Console Mode is going into open beta testing for SuperStation/MiSTER Pi owners. If you are interested, head over to Discord. We have a special role and channel for feedback: discord.gg/t3ZywMBvh
I believe video game consoles have a 0% tariff now. It was 10% before today.
I watched a movie today where a rally team uses an AI chip called SS1 to beat another team that had the second generation of SS1 in their car (called SS8). SuperStation Eight confirmed. 😅
Exploded view
This seems like too many screws 😅
The SuperDock in clear blue. ❤️
A black PS1 is 🔥
(we are now shipping black SS1 Founders/Friends Edition orders.)
Hello, 2026.

First time I've ever heard about this and we don't use stripe to process payments. We also aren't sanctioned. Can you provide what you saw on your end? Sales@retroremake.co
Hello! Would you like a long, distracting read about chasing a dream, perfecting analog video, battling AI-driven manufacturing shortages, and sticking to the principle of doing right by the open source MiSTer community? Here's that
Connecting office 1 to office 2.
Messing around with adding PS1 controller support to stuff. It’s awesome for FPGA cores that don’t have SNAC controller options.
A new Classic Gray (without a painted logo) SS1 sample arrived.
I finished the tutorial for the SUPER5 HDMI kit. Such a huge weight off my shoulders.
I jinxed it and ended up adding several additional months of R&D. Here's the final result of adding HDMI to the Switch Lite.
I love how there was just enough space to fit this connector. It's almost like it was made to be.
SUPER5 OLED Touch + SUPER5 HDMI
Region free PS1 = ❤️
Japanese PS1 games are super cheap.
N64 on SuperStation with native controller support.
The controller person didn't read the quick start directions on how to use PS1 controllers and rushed a vudeo. As for heat, the system runs at 43c surface temp under load without a fan. The chips that generate heat have a junction limit of 100c. There's a ton of headroom.
