No UI other than MiSTer menu

PlayStation controller slots disabled by default

Memory card slots disabled by default

Superdock can't boot PlayStation games

Doesn't have any documentation. Only a single youtube video.

Support: "Join the Discord"

Why is this even PS1 shaped if it's just a MiSTer???

Am I the crazy one here? Should I have not expected it to be a drop-in replacement for my aging PSone?

I agree. I ordered mine the day preorders went live. Waited all the time for it to arrive and was underwhelmed as well. No info on when the cool interface will be available. I asked to split my SuperDock order, assuming it wouldn't take much longer, and I STILL don't have it. I think my SS1 arrived in February.

Also, my SD card got randomly corrupted somehow and the SS1 just wouldn't boot. I grabbed a different SD card and flashed it. The instructions for this are not great - documentation is poor in general. They're probably focusing on mass production instead of software dev, but the lack of regular (and meaningful) updates makes this purchase hard to recommend. Hopefully they keep working on it and it gets better.

Edit: Also, they need to pick a platform. I only use Lemmy but for some reason I need to check YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, and Discord to maybe find a post about what's going on. Then there are also the email newsletter and shipping dashboard on their website.

Maybe your lucky, the delay may give time for some things to be smoothed out.

Well, there's your problem. Best of luck though.
