xStation + Installation Bundle


PLEASE NOTE: Only PU18 Motherboards and PU-8 non-early model boards are accepted for this modding service. 

For PU-8 boards, check your board first.  Some of the PlayStation models use an early version of the PU-8, which unfortunately is not compatible. To determine which PU-8 version you have you must open up your PS1 and look for the number on the board. An early version would be X-XXX-XXX-11, and would be incompatible. If there is another number instead of 11 ast the end (21, 22, 23 or 41) it is compatible (the X's are also numbers, they are just not relevant).

We include a 3d printed mount as part of this installation

PLEASE NOTE: Modding/Installation Services typically take between 1-3 weeks from the time the console is received.  Please keep in mind that this is just an estimate and it can sometimes go over by a week or 2 during busy times.

While rare, there could be a scenario where Stone Age Gamer has to replace your motherboard. We would not replace or reimburse the customer for any preexisting modification.

    Great product, quick turnaround for installation.

    Posted by michael matthews on Sep 14th 2024

    Sent my PS1 off for xstation installation. Only took about 3 weeks from sendoff to return. Very happy with the xstation. Runs all games quickly without any hiccups. I use a 1.5tb SanDisk micro SD and it stores many games no problem. Xstation also provides some mildly quicker load times, pair with hd retro vision adapter on a crt for great picture quality. Overall very satisfied.

    Perfect!

    Posted by darkstrider2 on Jul 19th 2024

    I purchased and shipped in late June and it shipped and arrived in mid July. Clean install! Delivered within promise windows! SD setup was easy to setup and update the firmware. Every game I through at it ran perfectly. Would purchase any installation service from SAG again.

    An easy way to play everything

    Posted by James on Feb 18th 2024

    If you have a substantial PS1 game collection, there’s no better way to play them all without having to switch disks or worry about a failing CD drive. I backed up all my games and placed them on the included SD, and the games played as if I was running them off a disk, no errors or glitches. With the pro installation process, I didn’t have to deal with soldering either. Highly recommended for PS1 enthusiasts.

    Didn`t take long at all for installation on the 5501 PS1 I sent in. The X-station has worked well and allows me to enjoy my favorite console the PS1 even more.
