Tekken 8 has been out for a while and the Namco Noir has always been known as the “Tekken Cab” since T6 so it was only natural that I made the Noirs T8 compatible. Since the PS5 is my primary way to play SF6, I wanted another dedicated setup so Continue Reading

CPS2 Bubble Bath

Point Blank Breakthrough!
