User guide
Drum Simulator - The Drum Simulator gives you all the buttons on the PSP to use to your disposal to smash and crash on a virtual kit. Once you've had enough making up your own beats you can access the music player and load music out of your ms0:/MUSIC/ directory so you can bang along to your favourite tunes.
Guitar Simulator - By using the Analog stick to strum and keypads to cycle through chords you can play the chords like you would on a real guitar.
Composer - Those who have trouble keeping in time can use the composer to create their own music. The composer gives you two bars two mess around with, adding notes in quater, eighth and sixteenth note positions and supports drums and guitar.
Note: Make sure the Sounds/Drums/ folder contains every sound needed or the program will crash.
