PTU In the Midst of Spring

This tutorial was written by me on April 12, 2014.

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

I used pspx6 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.
