It had a ARM7T CPU with 2KB of RAM. Software for the PocketStation was typically distributed as PlayStation CD-ROM extras, 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. 60 games in total were compatible with the PocketStation.

;061:Distributed with [[PKEmu]] as kernel.bin and is also what MAME uses.<ref>[https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/0f0d39ef81562c75e79176dd3bebb1e491ca39d5/src/mame/drivers/pockstat.cpp#L1006 pockstat.cpp], see CRC value.</ref> It's thought to be from prototype hardware, which would explain its incompatibility with certain games regardless of the emulator used.
;110:Also called "J110", this is the BIOS used for all retail PocketStations and should provide compatibility for all software on any emulator. DrHell recommends dumping it yourself using the [http://onorisoft.free.fr/retro.htm?ps/ps.htm PocketStation BIOS Tool by Orion_]. Unfortunately, no kernel dump of this version has surfaced online.
