PSP Homebrew - Rock Station |
Ó
Xsjado7 has tipped us about the release of his very own homebrew game, Rock Station. It's a drums and guitar simulation game, which even allows you to compose your own music.
Check out the things you need to know about this release. There's quite a lot of them, so start reading so you can move on quick to rocking:
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.
- By using the analog stick to strum and ^/X/O/[] to cycle through chords you can play the chords like you would on a real guitar.
- 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.
Notable Features
General
- Drums, composer and guitar times displayed in main menu. See how much time you've wasted playing :P
- Saving and loading.
- Support for more than the standard acoustic and synth kit setups when using the drum composer. Rock Station will automatically read the contents of Sounds/Drums/ and list the folders in the composer menu. Make sure the folder contains EVERY sound needed or it the program will crash.
- Music playback while you play. Browser can be accessed by pressing select while playing.
- Multiple kit setups like in the Composer.
- Strum as you would on a real guitar.

everything new is crashing on 1000s. i'm getting sick on having a 1000. Rrrrr!!
this didn't crash at all on the phat. it's kinda interesting that you can actually compose music, but don't expect it to be like Guitar Pro. the notes instantly skip to the other note without the previous one fading out. doesn't sound good like that. it would be great to have a psp version of Guitar Pro, to make tabs using MIDI audio and whatnot. btw, what's up with the drum noises? they sound weird.
in regards to what metal jody said, guitar pro or power tab like program for the psp would be awesome. for real. ive had an idea about a program like that for the psp a while ago. i would have created it but cant code or program for my life(never learned it). but seriously, someone please make a program like guitar pro. would greatly appreciate it. thanx Xsjado7 . your effort has not been overlooked
i can't code for my life either, and i have some good homebrew ideas. i thought of one cool brew idea yesterday but forgot it. dang it
