RGames Pentane

The RGames Pentane is a game console created and released in the game LittleBigPlanet 2. It was originally released on March 31st, 2021, but due to the 2021 LittleBigPlanet Server Outage, the Pentane was unavailable for some time after release. It became available for the second time on April 29th, 2021, as the LittleBigPlanet servers went back up. However, the system became unavailable again in mid-late May as the servers went back down.

Development
In early-mid 2020, the Pentane began development as a successor to the Propane Deluxe. Originally, the system used the older MMXIX RGames Logo, which was replaced soon after with the current RGames Logo. When the Ryzen Hub was moderated (taking down the Propane Hub as well), Kowan011 began to redesign the Ryzen Masterpieces in order to use a different cartridge type. Due to this, 2 consoles had to be dropped from the console line, which included the Propane Deluxe. This meant that the Pentane would replace the Propane Deluxe. Over time, features from the Ryzen that weren't in the Propane Deluxe were added, including but not limited to AI Chips, and custom Firmware Chips. The Pentane was originally going to be revealed after the Ryzen Masterpieces relaunch, but someone accidentally leaked the system in a Discord Server, causing RGames to make an announcement that they were indeed making a new console.

Even during the Alpha phase, RGames made a Music-Only version of the Pentane called the Pentyne, which did not release until v1.1. The version of Waterfall that the Pentane uses, Waterfall Slice, was inspired by the Xbox 360's Blades Dashboard, and was intended to be something that no other LittleBigPlanet Console had ever done. As the system was near-completion, the 2021 LittleBigPlanet Server Outage started, which delayed the launch of the Pentane to March 31st, 2021.

Launch and Troubled Availability
On March 31st, 2021, the Pentane launched alongside SackBattles Deluxe (and its soundtrack), and Galactic Blasters +. A special bundle containing a Pentane, SackBattles Deluxe, and the soundtrack was also available. When a YouTuber started a livestream where he played levels in LittleBigPlanet 3, the Pentane Hub was suggested by chi_chi154_2, and became the first level played in his series of livestreams. Unfortunately, as the servers went back down later that day, the Pentane became temporarily unavailable until around April 29th, 2021, when the servers went back up.

Due to more attacks on the LittleBigPlanet servers, they had to be brought down in mid-late May 2021, making the Pentane unavailable again. Finally, on September 13th, 2021, the LittleBigPlanet servers went back up for LittleBigPlanet 3 (PS4), making the Pentane available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players. Alongside this announcement was the announcement that services for LittleBigPlanet, LittleBigPlanet 2, LittleBigPlanet PS Vita, and LittleBigPlanet 3 (PS3) would be shut down permanently, thus making it impossible for PlayStation 3 players to obtain a Pentane unit, and making it impossible for chi_chi154_2 to continue developing the Pentane. On December 6th, 2021, the level backups for the Propane and Pentane hubs were finally released, allowing LittleBigPlanet 2 players to obtain both systems, alongside new games for both systems.

Backwards Compatibility
Like the Propane Deluxe that came before it, the Pentane is Backwards Compatible with its predecessors, the Propane, and Propane Deluxe. The Pentane can also play games made for the Propane M and Bermuda. The only exceptions to this are games that require the use of Propane Modifications. Save Data from a Propane Cartridge can also be transferred to a Pentane Memory Card, or the other way around. Since v1.1, Promiibo is supported for Propane Cartridges.
