r/RetroRemake

I was setting up my superstation and noticed there is a new version available as of today been up for less than an hour.

I’ve already emailed support, but I wanted to check and see if I’m missing anything stupid on my end.

I’ve not been able to get any signal out of of the device. I have tried multiple hdmi cables, multiple usb-c cords/plugs and multiple tvs. I have also disconnected the superdock from it to see if that would help. No matter what combination I try, I get no video/signal. A solid white light turns on when i push power and a red light turns on from the back 'audio' port.

I have put the SD card in my mac and it appears and shows the content on the drive.

My LG tv shows 'Detecting device on HDMI x' then goes to no signal. My samsung tv just shows no signal.

I have tried disconnecting the superdock from it and then going through the above again (different tv, usb-c bricks/cords and different hdmi cables as well).

My next step will be to flash a new sd card and see if that changes anything, but I wanted to check if I’ve missed anything else obvious?

Just received an email from RR that they no longer use 4PX for my region and will now ship through DHL but only send it to me if I pay an additional amount. They have not provided a reason for switching and have simply told me to either pay or they will refund the dock. Did anyone else receive this? I personally think it is ridiculous that I should have to pay for additional shipping because they independently decided to use a different carrier. Should I stand my ground or just hand over the money?

I’ve been wanting the SUPER5 OLED Touch / SUPER5 HDMI – Mega Kit from RetroRemake for a couple of years now, but I still haven’t been able to place an order. At this point, I’m mainly interested in the HDMI mod, even more than the OLED screen.

I’ve checked eBay and I do see some kits or already‑modded consoles, but the prices are extremely high. Before I give up, I wanted to ask the community:

Is there any way to get just the SUPER5 HDMI mod from another source?

Maybe a reseller, a smaller modding shop, or someone who produces a similar HDMI solution for the Switch Lite?

Any info or leads would help a lot. Thanks in advance.

I really think that's a missed opportunity with the superstation to have made so that the dock was a different modules. Moduls where you could plug in different carts and controller ports. I understand what the DE10 doesn't have enough pins to do controllers and cartridges, but the cartridges really could be USB adaptor/ dumper. Think what the polymega should have been when they first announced it. My hope in the future is Taki creates a new version that has modules that can be swapped for different systems.

Mine had the fan installed from the factory…but I can’t actually hear it - so not sure if it’s just ultra quiet or not working. After only about an hour of use, the top of the console feels very hot.

How’s the heat on everyone else’s? Should I be concerned?

Is the Dock useful for stuff other than playing discs?
I don’t have any original discs but would get it if it has other benefits.

They have done a really rotten job so far of communicating so I turn to y'all.

I got my superstation one two days ago. I've been emulating since nesticle in the 90s in one way or another so I've experienced the good and bad. Always wanted to get a mister but could never justify the cost so when this was pitched to me as a nice complete system at half the cost I made my first preorder since the original xbox.

I love it, I got the dock but cd's were an afterthought for me, I'll try to add an nvme drive and maybe get a snac adapter or 2. Setting it up was pretty easy, if there was confusion about bios I just ran it by chatgpt and it would even verify the hashes for me, what a time to be alive.

The emulation just "feels" right. I've been playing rayman on ps1, Rondo of blood, In the hunt, Mark of the wolves, and exploring old cdi "games". It's such a nice little package, I actually enjoy the bare metal interface, and the mame setup is actually making me slow down and only add the games I want. I could see a world where I just get a spare superstation and sell off my retro consoles.

If your pretty casual with gaming like me and reasonably good at following instructions, I highly recommend it. There are definitely areas that were rushed to get it out, but I would still get it again in it's current state in a heartbeat.

On the PSX core on SuperStation, the menus appear to let you configure it this way, but every time I turn on the Snac for P1 or P2, the USB controller stops registering in the game. If I put both players on non-Snac options the USB controller starts working again.

I’ve had a similar problem trying to get a physical memory card to work through Snac while using a USB controller. The game just suddenly can’t detect the card when I switch to the USB controller, but it comes back if I switch back to Snac controller.

Am I missing something about how this is intended to work?

I need to wait for the next pre-order to get an SS1, but I keep peeking in to the Mister community for stuff related to physical cartridges especially Gameboy games. I think the SS1 plus some Gameboy adapter is the perfect solution for me when It comes to playing older games these days.
