PTU Let's Sail Away

This tutorial was written by me on June 30, 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.
