The MiSTer not only allows for you to put a BIOS file in there, it requires it.  And yes, it means I see the PS1 boot screen every time! 

Unless Taki Udon plans on customizing it in any meaningful way, I assume this Superstation will be the same.  And the nice thing is, if you have a CRT TV that allows for it, you can get a significantly better signal (RGB, SCART, Svideo, or Component) than the OG PS1 ever was able to get back in the day.  And of course, you can also do HDMI to a modern TV if that's your thing too.  If I didn't already have a working PS1 and a MiSTer, I'd be all over the Superstation.

Yeah the disc drive is really the only reason why I'm interested, along with the affordability compared to other clone consoles. I have a collection of PS1 games and some original controllers. Not sure if the memory cards work anymore lol but a couple of consoles I had died over the years, so it would be nice to have a console that won't die and still be able utilize my game collection.

Hopefully they allow for original BIOS files to be uploaded so I can't get that OG PS1 boot up screen

Started with Atari when my father randomly brought a 2600 home for my older sisters.

Went to Nintendo with the NES and SNES but was pretty casual about it, probably because it was a rich kid hobby back then.

Bought a PS1 from Sony because of Final Fantasy 7. Some of the most effective advertising in modern history.  Moved to the PS2 but I didn't love it as much as the original.

Got my first PC and lost myself to MMOs and World of Warcraft.

After I ditched the MMO addiction, I looked into consoles again.  Picked up a PS3 late in the generation because it had several games that interested me, such as Valkyria Chronicles.

However, it soon became obvious to me that I much preferred playing on PC.  I doubt I ever go back to consoles.

I think MMOs should be classified as a controlled substance and I'm not even joking. Lost about 5 months to FF14 and it done far more damage than any drug I may or may not have taken for supposedly less or more time than that. 

I was not expecting this, I thought it would be 60 and 70 percent Nintendo on this site, only a third is very surprising. Gonna try and keep this thread bumped for a bit to see if more data comes in.

I hate making random suggestions and making assumptions but put down the backlog for now, if you are a life long Nintendo gamer and have been there for the turn based RPGs, FF to Mario... go buy Clair Obscur Expedition 33 right away. Drop everything else an play it. Thank me later for the immense joy it'll bring you.
