There is a PS4 remaster of symphony combined with an older school Rhombus of Retardation or something. I played that on my PS5 and it was no different than the PS1 version so for this game I’d suggest this route if you have a 4/5.

Still annoys me that they've brought a lot of the other 2d Castlevania games to various PC platforms but not SOTN ;(

I wish I had an old ps3 I could put linux on. I've got one of the newer slims.
I've always wanted to play around with the spu stuff.

Mine has the hardware ps2, but was fully up to date - so I think it is past where you can do the stuff to get linux on it.. I vaguely remember that was being a think when I got it... it was my primary system, so I never wanted to bother with hacking it, and it did the ps2 stuff natively so I was happy.

Sounds cool. I see a bunch of the other games are on Steam but not symphony of the night? What's the deal with that?

I've been reading Castlevania lore and in honor of the Belmont clan I will reveal who it was. No joke. Also I was wrong about the type of show. It was tech not video game review.- 1

At least I know I wasnt the only geek. I'd let ZDTV play in the background and I'd always catch myself watching this dipshits stuff. I'm sure I picked up some stuff from him. But with the inspiration and motivation that Hackers gave me as a kid, and this shit - I was a computer destroying machine. Still remember the ass whippin' I got for taking our Gateway apart.

Love Leo. I still listen to his TWIT podcasts, especially security now with Steve Gibson.
Before he went full-on tech Leo was on the Bay Area sports radio station. I called in to talk to him when I was like 10 years old and he was taking calls on who was going to win the Bay Bridge series (A's vs. Giants WS in 89), just a week or two before the big quake happened prior to game 3. Still listen to some of his podcasts too.

Guessing Leo will work till he dies now after his crash deal. His sponsors of his podcast found out the stats were totally fake. I think I read he was pushing that a majority had an advanced degree and made much more than $100k a year and such. Then of course his new wife didn't pay the taxes or paid the wrong amount. That's when his podcast stopped suddenly paying guest to appear weekly. I haven't heard anything about him in a long time but there was a deal shortly after it happened that he was traveling beyond first class all over the world with his new wife and then overnight all that went away.
There was a website devoted to all the "crazy" things that went wrong all at once. I'll have to look and see if it's still around.
Edit - didn't see it but one article in 2022 that he stepped down.

From one time boasting about having 14 million in annual sales, and owning 25% of all podcast revenue, Leo Laporte recently acknowledged that TWiT is screwed because sponsors now want proof that there are actual listeners, i.e. analytics that can’t be faked.
