We've also got some substantial ports such as Unreal Tournament on the original Xbox, a whole Dreamcast emulator also for the original Xbox, and a Half-Life port teased for the PS1 of all things. Oh, and if you're smart with the PS5 and like money, you might want to stay tuned for the jailbreak bounty from FULU.

Looks like these hour or longer episodes might be the standard for ModChat now, huh? That's just how much has been happening recently! P2JB on PS5 gets ported to multiple entry points, but that's not all for the exciting bits!

I didn't think we'd be doing back-to-back extra long episodes of ModChat, but here we are! The progress across all console scenes hasn't slowed down it seems! Talking about a ton here including the Switch getting TWO Atmosphere updates, the current status of the PS3 scene due to the 4.93 update, and explaining the complexities surrounding the PS5 12.00 jailbreak. Not everyone out there is a Star Wars fan, but there's good reasons to be one! Oh, and if you're on the latest firmware, there's some fun to be had. The PSP, a handheld near and dear to me, also gets some AMAZING developments in the form of exFAT support and ExtremeSpeed. Literally!
