Taki Udon’s SuperStation One Dock Will Support Saturn Disc Loading

Taki Udon, known for the MiSTer Pi and the upcoming SuperStation One, announced Wednesday that their FPGA devices support loading Sega Saturn discs with the SuperDock add-on.

Added preliminary support for loading Sega Saturn games from disk without dumping on SuperStation. It needs some additional work to make it more seamless. PC-Engine CD is next.

The Saturn support comes just a few days after they implemented SEGA CD and PC Engine CD reading as well.

For those of you out of the know, the MiSTer Pi and SuperStation One are FPGA-based devices that allow one to play hardware emulated systems such as the PlayStation 1, SEGA CD, SEGA Saturn, and various other retro systems. The SuperStation One in particular is a console-esque design that supports not only original PS1 controllers and memory cards but also, with the SuperDock add-on, the ability to read from original discs themselves.

Introducing the SuperStation one. An open-source PS1 FPGA gaming console that supports original games, memory cards, and controllers. Load games from a disk or a backup. Region free. Supports all MiSTer FPGA cores, including N64 & Sega Saturn.

While the intention is for PS1 discs, Taki Udon has begun implementing it for not only the SEGA CD, and PC Engine, but the Saturn MiSTer core.

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.

Pre-orders for the SuperStation One have sadly sold out as of the posting of this story, but it seems a restock will take place at a later date.
