I’m a huge fan of my Analouge pocket. I love the compatibility and the drop in and play nature of games and cores.
Hoping for a similar home console experience. Is the Superstation one similar enough ? Is it worth the price ? (I know it’s fairly cheap for a mister)

My review of the SuperStation is: oof
For a drop-in replacement for a Playstation, it’s not nearly good enough. The disc drive add-on shipped without working. There was no UI aside the default MiSTer menu. The PS1 controller ports don’t work by default. No documentation. No communication. Extremely rough out-of-the-box experience. I was not happy.
As a cheap MiSTer… maybe?

Have you used it since they released the new UI layer? Is MISTer any easier to set up?
I bought the SSO and haven’t opened it yet, waiting for the software to not be a full-time project, so I’m not asking snidely. I just thought it was essentially a full-fledged MISTer for a cheap price and as a bonus has a few bells & whistles and a nice hardware shell. So I’m confused.

Mister is very easy to set up tbh. Adding and curating games requires some effort.
Still, I’m always on the lookout for a more consolized version instead of the amateur looking sandwich.

If the Game UI update is finally out and ready for deployment, I wasn’t aware of that. I knew that they had an alpha demo of it available for testing, but I’m not being paid to test. All the github pages make no mention of a release candidate, nor anything about the SuperDock getting disc reading functionality. It also seems like the composite output can’t use the new console mode and is stuck on the old MiSTer menu, so I don’t believe for a second that 1.1.1 is an actual release candidate even though that’s where they started their versioning.
