Even the Xbox One and Series get some coverage here with the open source release of the ASPECT2 PCB! It isn't all Xbox centric news around here though, especially with the release of Y2JB for PS5. The GameCube also gets some love thanks to the release of Cubiboot. Finally, 'tis the season for spooky games, and why not celebrate it with an integrated randomizer for the classic Castlevania: Symphony of the Night?
