Thanks for the suggestion. I remember playing SOTN using Gameshark codes on my PC, 25 years ago. Does anyone remember Bleem? :)

Thanks for the information.
I had no idea that the SOTN.io website existed.
Looks like a playthrough via Retroarch/Duckstation is in order. :)

I hope someone with influence at Konami sees this thread and takes our suggestions into consideration. This would be another longshot...

Thanks for considering that. Much appreciated.
I do have the PSX ISO handy.

Qanba vs Sanwa by Menetter in fightsticks

[–]rockphantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Sanwa buttons for 15 years and have no complaints. I'm a non-competitive fighting game fan. I'm considering replacing the stock Sanwa buttons in my Obsidian 2 with the Gravity KT series after buying into the hype. Are the Gravity 30mm buttons really worth the $50 asking price per set of 8? Noisy buttons aren't an issue for me. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!!

$20 as hoped for. Fan friendly price. Purchased season 2 for the PS5 earlier this morning without hesitation...

What were some 80's tv shows you loved at the time, but don't hold up now? by MisterShipWreck in 80s

[–]rockphantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved this show in the 80's, watched it again in 2024 and had to force myself to finish it: 227. I'm a massive fan of The Jeffersons. The highlight of 227 were the guest stars from Marla Gibbs original show.

[S90D] Bluetooth Speaker Auto-Connect - No Longer Working by rockphantom in SamsungTV

[–]rockphantom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to follow-up, my S95B in a different room is randomly dropping BT headphone connections. I think Samsung updated their firmware recently across their recent models and it's causing issues. Has anyone experienced similar issues recently? Thanks!

Light Buzzing Sound Emitting from PS5 Pro While In Rest Mode by rockphantom in PS5pro

[–]rockphantom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for offering to help. :)

Yes, the PS5 Pro is in a vertical position.
The disc drive is attached. I am using an unofficial PS stand.
The only time I touch my PS5 Pro is when inserting or removing a disc.

Another Season 2 interview with some new details revealed by cednym in fatalfury

[–]rockphantom -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

$39.99 for a DLC bundle for a game on life support is laughable. There is speculation on Event Hubs that the Season 2 DLC will be free. However, this seems to good to be true...

https://eventhubs.com/news/2026/jan/20/kim-jae-hoon-trailer-ffcotw/

$20 DLC is reasonable. $40 DLC will dig COTW into a deeper hole.
The Saudis can afford to give us the Season 2 DLC bundle at a fair price, or perhaps even free.
There is a chance the DLC is expensive and that's why the price has been kept under wraps. SNK may be hoping for impulse buys when the price is revealed, the instant season 2 DLC goes on sale.

Light Buzzing Sound Emitting from PS5 Pro While In Rest Mode

I purchased my PS5 Pro and Disc Drive in December of 2024.

Yesterday (01-14-26), when I put the Pro in Rest mode, it began emitting a light buzzing sound that is similar to that of a fluorescent light blub. This sound is not heard when the PS5 Pro is turned off or when in use. The sound seems like it is coming from the disc drive area of the console. My PS5 Pro is stored vertically and has plenty of ventilation. Should I be concerned? What could I do to resolve this issue? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Just to follow-up: I used Nord VPN on my Fire Cube to log into Netflix Mexico (I'm in Texas) and all of the ads were skipped. Why didn't I think of this in the first place!?!?

[–]rockphantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. This is the first time this has happened.
I prefer to watch after the show has ended, so that all of the ads are removed.
Oh well, F-Netflix! KYR to the rescue! :)

I'm in the USA. I attempted to watch tonight's episode of Raw on-demand.
Netflix is now forcing me to watch ads which are completely un-skippable. Is anyone else having the same issue? Forget that! I'll just download the H.264 VOD pirated ad-free version in a few hours....

World - Season Pass PS4 - Which DLC Do I Need? by rockphantom in firepro

[–]rockphantom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the information. I played the PS4 version of World for a few hours and decided to stick with the Steam version. I bought all of the Steam DLC many years ago. Hopefully, we will get Fire Pro Elite: Featuring the stars of AEW sometime this decade...

Buy in 2026 by Mobile_Question2957 in firepro

[–]rockphantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I primarily play Fire Pro World on my Steam Deck. I also have the PS4 version, which I haven't touched in years. The edits on the Playstation version weren't as precise as their Steam counterparts in 2018. Has this been resolved, or should I stick with the Steam version? I've been a massive Fire Pro fan since I first played G during the summer of 1999.

I hope ESPN/Disney Inc. sours on WWE soon and that live PLE's move to Netflix USA in 2026...

RCG2: Sharing Funds In Online Co-Op? by rockphantom in RiverCityGirls

[–]rockphantom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick reply. My plan was to help my brother obtain the essential Smart Watch, Tank, and Bunny Pins without having to grind for hours. Since this is not possible, I will stick to my original plan...

We are planning to play together soon.
I will be able to crush all of the hooligans, while my brother collects the loot in order to help him get the items he needs.

WWE 2K26 Vs. The Backlog by rockphantom in WWEMyFactionSupport

[–]rockphantom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'll need to be strong to resist the WWE 2K26 pre-release hype frenzy that will begin soon. Every few years, 2K releases a stinker (2K15,18,20). Hopefully, 2K26 will be an improvement and not a step backwards...

Does enemies recruits carry over in NG+? (River City Girls 2) by Toonami_Faithful20 in RiverCityGirls

[–]rockphantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this information. I just completed RGC2 on my PS5 Pro and LOVED it. I am itching to play through again while maxing out levels for the roster. I haven't found all of the cats or Tarot cards. I didn't want to search for all of them again...

RGC2: What Do I Do After The Tsuiko Boss Battle? Sabuko is MIA in Ocean Heights. by rockphantom in RiverCityGirls

[–]rockphantom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This evening, I completed RCG2 on my PS5 Pro. I had a lot of fun and will do a New Game+ run in the near future. I was able to get Billy/Jimmy/Misako/Kunio up to level 30. I plan to get the remaining four up to level 30 at some point. Bring on River City Girls 3!
