Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Console & Light Gun

1. What type of hardware does Retro Station use?

Retro Station is powered by a refurbished Dell mini PC, selected for its excellent build quality, durability, and reliability.

Unlike many conventional gaming consoles, our mini PCs feature a sturdy metal chassis and replaceable internal components. This allows individual hardware parts to be repaired or replaced when necessary, helping extend the overall lifespan of the system.

Before shipping, every unit undergoes a thorough cleaning, inspection, and testing process to ensure it meets our quality standards.

2. What type of light gun does Retro Station use?

Retro Station uses original Nintendo Wii Remote (Wiimote) controllers configured for light gun gaming.

As Nintendo has discontinued production of the original Wiimote, all our light gun controllers are pre-owned units. However, each controller undergoes a refurbishment, inspection, and testing process before shipping to ensure proper functionality.

We prioritize genuine Nintendo hardware for its proven reliability and compatibility with our light gun gaming system.

3. Can I add my own games to Retro Station?

Yes. Retro Station allows users to add compatible games to the system.

We can provide step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process. Please ensure that any games you add are legally obtained and compatible with the supported emulators.

4. Can I use my own game controller?

Yes. Retro Station supports a wide range of third-party game controllers, including many popular USB and Bluetooth gamepads.

However, compatibility may vary depending on the controller model and connection method.

For a detailed compatibility reference, please visit the official Batocera documentation:

5. What types of TVs, monitors, and projectors are compatible with Retro Station?

Retro Station is compatible with most modern televisions, computer monitors, and projectors equipped with an HDMI input.

Simply connect the console to your display using the supplied HDMI cable to enjoy your favourite retro games.

Please note that light gun functionality may have additional setup requirements depending on your display configuration.

6. Can I save my game progress?

Yes. Retro Station supports multiple game-saving methods, depending on the gaming platform and emulator.

Virtual Memory Card: Save your progress using the game's original saving system, similar to playing on the original console.

Save State: Save your progress at a specific moment during gameplay and resume from that point later, without relying on traditional in-game save points.

Save State availability may vary depending on the game and emulator.
