When IBM released the Personal Computer back in 1981, it gave the buyer two choices for the video output. The buyer could buy a monochrome card and a special high resolution green screen monitor to go with it, or a color card and connect it to a color monitor.

The SuperStation One - Is this the One FPGA System to Rule them All?

Over in China there is an expatriate who goes by the handle of Taki Udon. This American began his public video gaming presence modding Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance systems. Over time he partnered with a local company, Retro Remake, to produce modding products and affordable add-ons for the MiSTer FPGA system. Now he has released a consolized MiSTer called the SuperStation One. Specifically the console his company has modeled is the Sony PS One, the slimmed down revision of the PlayStation released late in its lifecycle. The SSOne has the potential to act as a fully consolized FPGA PlayStation. Having finally received mine, I will review it here.
