Obligatory "I received my unit" post!
Mine arrived today (I live in Sweden)! Like all I'm impressed by how premium it feels. Taki has done a really nice job. I ordered the SS1 and dock in August, so it took about 11 months (I was batch 3). To my surprise, I did not have to pay any additional customs or taxes, and that's a first in awhile. We usually need to pay extra for everything that is not bought within the EU, unless we have a chance to pre pay on checkout, and looking at my receipt from Retroremake, I did not. So I am just really surprised, and relieved, because I prepared to pay at least another $100 extra in customs and handling fees.
This is my first time owning anything FPGA, and my first bump is that I cannot get my DualShock to work when plugging it in, but I took for granted that it wasn't going to be that easy. I'll need to read up on and watch Taki's startup guide and I'll figure it out.
Happy that it's finally here!
