PSP Revolution v0.2 Released!!

July 4, 2006

PSP Revolution v0.2

DeNitro and Devin923, from our forums, have released the latest version of one of the greatest PSP homebrew games, PSP Revolution. PSP Revolution is based off the popular Stepmania game, and received outstanding support and positive remarks from the community. The first release was revealed back in November, and about half a year later we received the next great installment of this game! As the famous saying goes, better late than never! This long break in development came when time was tight for the developers, but the resulting product is outstanding.

PSP Revolution v0.2 features theme support finally, something which many have been wishing for since the first release. The new theme support is the focus of the new version, and hopefully we will see some outstanding themes by our users! When you fist play the game, you will be greeted by the same look and feel as the first version allowing for easy adaptation into the new version. However, it is recommended that you do a complete install (do not just copy the new files over the old ones) of this game due to a new file structure.

One great thing I liked about this version was that I saw a song I recognized from my High School French class – Un Monde Parfait (A Perfect World). It was my teacher’s favorite song, and the animation in the music video was excellent as well. However, it happens to be one of the hard songs to play, which left me disappointed, seeing how I am horrible at these games.

The entire change log for this great game is below –
