18 months of R&D, just as many failed revisions, and more than $200K in costs. SUPER5 OLED HDMI is finally done. This is the first fully assembled device in the world. You can't imagine how relieved I am that it works. This was the most difficult project…

The case for the SUPER5 portable charger is basically done. Remove the four screws on the bottom, swap out the 5,000 mAh battery for a used Switch Lite battery, and then close it up to create a zero-waste portable charger. [contains quote post or other…

The current SS1 PCB rev. has a cool party trick. With a single default config, it can output analog video on all 5 connectors simultaneously (VGA, DIN10, RGB, YC, & CVBS). We spent the last month getting all of them to output reference quality analog video…

HR shelved 1 Mech. Eng. for being too old at over 45. Top uni + yrs of exp. I didn't care so I offered an interview. He did it 100% in Chinese & joined R2 shortly after. Turns out, he can speak and understand EN fine. Best MD I've worked with in 6 years.…

Forgot to crosspost this SS1 update from yesterday: As of today, testing / verifying all the analog output options on a prototype SS1. The console mode UI is almost done. After that, we will finish the Super Dock software.

When I made the SUPER5 roadmap last year, I outlined a plan for a Super Switch Lite. It would have a 6ā€ 1440p screen, 6,000 mAh battery, hall joysticks, and improved audio. All as a PCB swap. After all the SUPER5 products are in mass production, I plan…

I've been adding MiSTER Pi stock periodically this month. We will run out at some point next week with a small allotment of PayPal boards. I haven't decided if we will do a preorder for batch 4 yet. If we do, the perk will be a custom RTC board or a 4x N64…

Is it just me, or is the Switch 2 incredibly buggy? I'm on my 7th hard crash/system freeze in 10 hours. I just had the entire system stall out while idling in SMRPG. I started recording as the audio cut out. I'm used to jank on a product launch, but this…

I've been buying a bunch of PVMs for SuperStation analog testing over the last month, with two that have Y/C as their best output. Even though it was already possible to get Y/C from the DIN10 port, I decided to add a dedicated S-Video connector to the…

This ended up being VERY wrong. For some reason, tariffs on gaming consoles skip a huge bonus tariff category no one talks about. Gaming consoles face a 20% tariff with the pause. A gaming console PCB (declared as a PCB) gets hit at 70%. Everything…

I added MiSTER Pi Turbo Pack v1.6 to the store and the batch 3 NFC reader/NFC cards. I’ll add more Turbo and RAM Bundle 1.6 stock on Monday. We should have enough stock to not need a 4th batch. Acrylic shells are also $5 off. šŸŽ®

We finished the SuperDock MD today. We moved the IR sensor to the middle under the DVD drive, moved the eject button to the middle of the lid, moved the SNAC bypass port, moved the m.2 slot, rounded out the S-Video port, and added more useful features to…

The second half of MiSTER Pi Batch 3 will be available for order around May 16th without a preorder. PayPal included. All of the boards include FBGA soldered SDRAM, so we won't have any Base units available. Instead, I will bring back the RAM Bundle as…
