Attack of the Mutants is a classic arcade style space shooter made for the PSPUpdates Homebrew Contest.

Installation

Copy the AOTM directory to ms0:/PSP/GAME/.

Mods should be placed in individual folders denoting the name of the Mod in /PSP/GAME/AOTM/Mods/.

To make a mod that loads by default, the files can still be place in the main EBOOT.PBP folder.

(Optional) You may delete /SOUND/2ND-PM.s3m to save space, but the game won't have music unless you enable mp3 music from /PSP/MUSIC/ with L/R triggers.

Note: Playing mp3 music will run CPU at it's full 333mhz speed.
