CT NOCTURNE

This tutorial was written by me on February 1, 2019.

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

I used pspx9 but any version should work without problems.

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