PTU Halos are Overrated

This tutorial was written by me on June 12, 2013.

It was made out of my own creation and any similarity is purely coincidental.

I used pspx5 but any version should work without problems.

If you're doing this tutorial you must have good psp knowledge and be familiar with the tools.
