Software for the PocketStation was typically distributed as extras for PlayStation games, included in the CD-ROMextras, enhancing the games with added features. Stand-alone software could also be downloaded through the PlayStation console. The software is then transferred to the PocketStation for use. A built-in infrared data interface allows direct transfer of data such as game saves between PocketStation units, as well as multiplayer gaming. A total of 60 PS1 games in total were compatible with the PocketStation.

* Version ;061, distributed :Distributed with [[PKEmu]] as kernel.binand is also what MAME uses.<ref>[https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/0f0d39ef81562c75e79176dd3bebb1e491ca39d5/src/mame/drivers/pockstat.cpp#L1006 pockstat.cpp], is possibly see CRC value.</ref> It's thought to be from prototype hardware, explaining which would explain its incompatibility with certain games, no matter regardless of the emulator used, and is generally not recommended.* ;110:Also mentioned as called "J110", this is the BIOS comes with used for all retail PocketStations (both white and transparent/crystal variants), and should provide full compatibility for all software on any emulator. DrHell recommends dumping the BIOS and it yourself using that, with the [http://onorisoft.free.fr/retro.htm?ps/ps.htm PocketStation BIOS Tool by Orion_]. SadlyUnfortunately, a no kernel dump of this version is yet to surface has surfaced online. ==References==<references />
