Yes!! Thank youuuuuuuu!!! The new modes look awesome!
PSP Revolution v0.3 is complete!
(Attached at bottom of post)
For those that are new to the game, PSP Revolution is a StepMania/DDR style game based on music and rhythm where sequences of arrows scroll up the screen in beat to a song. When the arrows reach the indicator at the top of the screen, you must hit the corresponding button. Up / Down / Left / Right buttons are used in conjunction with /\ / X / [] / O buttons to hit the arrows. The difficulty of the song is indicated by the number of feet that are lit up in the song select screen. The difficulty of most songs can be changed by pressing Left or Right while in the song select screen.
Since this is a game based on music, Headphone or Earphones are recommended for the best sound experience!
Additional songs can be downloaded from sites such as http://www.bemanistyle.com, http://www.flashflashrevolution. com and http://www.stepmania.com. Some songs/packs may be in .smzip format and can still be extracted using Winzip or Winrar.
Highlights in this version include: MUCH improved gameplay and song compatibility, New step detection based on timing windows, New score system very similar to MAX 2, Dynamic background changes, and many many more...
Also included in this release is a new theme by Renpatsu you can select in the Options Screen.

thank you DeNitro for the patch i was wondering why some songs freezes my psp....
great work denitro
Yea nice a new PSP Revolution.. im gona move my thumb !
Can someone PM that has knowledge of the game is a crazy fan and lemme know WHY I should play it and HOW? I got my hands on DJ Max and honestly its a game for tweakers. Despite its uninspiring animation, all you're doing is hitting buttons as you are told to hit them. Its like a cracked out version of Simon Says and he always "says Simon says..." but at gatling gun speed (prolly need to be on it to play this). To me this game is a great way to develop carpal tunnel syndrome at a very very young age and not even getting payed for it. This game and its ilk are horrible in my first impressions. If you want a more solid game that uses rythm but is more freestyle check out B-Boy. Other rewarding games that use sound and freeform strategy are lumines, luamines, ever extend (extra), there's strategy involved just not mindlessy hitting a set combination of buttons OVER and OVEr and OVEr and did I mention? OVER and OVEr and over...... if I want that Ill go back to MK and mindlessly enter in set fatalities.... cheesy but more visually satisfying.
