[[File:PocketStation.jpg|thumb|The Sony PocketStation]]'''[[gametech:PocketStation|PocketStation]]''' is a memory card peripheral for the Playstation 1 that was only released in Japan. Software for the PocketStation was typically distributed as extras for PlayStation games, included in the CD-ROM, 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 were compatible with the PocketStation.

* Version 061, distributed with [[PKEmu]] as kernel.bin, is possibly from prototype hardware, explaining its incompatibility with certain games, no matter of the emulator used, and is generally not recommended.

* Also mentioned as "J110", this BIOS comes with all retail PocketStations (both white and transparent/crystal variants), and should provide full compatibility for all software on both [[PK201]] and [[No$GBA]]. DrHell recommends dumping the BIOS and using that, with the [http://onorisoft.free.fr/retro.htm?ps/ps.htm PocketStation BIOS Tool by Orion_]. Sadly, a dump of this version is yet to surface online.

:PocketStation as part of NO$GBA 2.7 onwards. The odd choice of emulators comes from GBA, DS and PocketStation sharing parts of the ARM architecture. Functional.
