Guitarhelper changelog
v1.00 · Apr 6, 2007
Still having problems with those hard riffs and chords? Don't worry because homebrew developer Joel Van is back with an improved version of GuitarHelper. The application, as the name suggests, assists and teaches users to play the guitar. GuitarHelper was originally from guitargod1134 but Joel Van has been the one updating it for the past few weeks now.
Now in version .5B, Joel Van promised that GuitarHelper now has lesse bugs and more content. Despite this, take note that this version still uses the same navigation system for v.5a so the program shouldn't feel any alien at all. This is written in Lua and uncompiled. The EBOOT, by the way, is LUA player direct loaded into lowser (version .16 unmodded).
Anyway, enough chatter, be sure to give the Readme file a thorough browse first before using this on your PlayStation Portable (PSP). All important details including controls and loading instructions can be found there. And as for the improvements to GuitarHelper v.5B, here's the complete changelog:
- NEW EBOOT with NEW BACKGROUND & ICON (same music)
- NOW FRONT SCREEN, "press start to enter"
- NEW FLEXIBLE TUNER now lets you tune to STANDARD, DROP D, DOUBLE DROP D, FLAT (1/2 step) and DROP C, the tuner has a menu system to navigate these variations
- SCALES SECTIONS NOW INCLUDES 7 MODES and 7 SCALES
- 2 NEW CHORD CHARTS, AUGMENTED AND DIMINISHED
- DETAILED EFFECTS CATALOGUE THAT EXPLAINS HOW THE EFFECT WORKS AND PLAYS AN EXAMPLE
- NEW AUDIO COMPRESSION METHOD
- MINOR GUI CHANGES
- BUG FIXES

v2007-03-31 · Mar 31, 2007
Joel Van has released a new upgrade for guitargod1134's GuitarHelper application, which teaches people the basics of using a guitar. This version, called GuitarHelper v0.5a, has a ton of additional features as well, and comes in two different modes depending on your firmware.
Here's what Joel Van had to say about this new version:
Guitar Helper .5a has had some major changes and this is my first project that i've worked on without any major aid! I've written most this script, so alot of this stuff is my work and ideas. I've re-written the script now so that there is more memory management and this gives me the ability to implement more and more content without stressing our little psp's ram!
You'll find the changelog below, and it's pretty extensive. We suggest you check out GuitarHelper's readme, as there's also been some changes in the control scheme as well as two different versions: one for the OE/1/ELOADER/HEND users, and another for users of 1.5. In any event, enjoy your download and rock on!

v0.4b · Feb 26, 2007
Joel Van s has dropped by to tell us about an update he has made to Guitargod1134's Guitarhelper homebrew application.
This application was originally made by Guitargod1134 to enhance PSP gamers experiences with their guitars, and includes features such as Pentatonic Minor scales with root notes on the E and A strings and much muich more that only the Guitargods would understand.
Anyway, since Guitargod himself has been a little busy lately, Joel Van has updated Guitarhelper to v0.4b with the original authoers consent and added a few new features. Here's the changelog:
- New fresh GUI
- Crisp new Samples for the tuner
- More chords&scales
- New eboot with music!
Get the download below, and remember, this is mostly Guitargod and JEMdev's work, with some modifications by Joel Van. Hopefulyl they will all work together for the benefit of Guitarhelper soon!
v0.3b · Dec 24, 2006
Well, GuitarHelper is definitely a lot prettier this time round. GuitarGod1134, along with JEMdev (who "did mostly everything"), have come out with GuitarHelper v0.3b.
This latest installment of GuitarHelper has a spiffier interface and is now a standalone Eboot, which means you don't have to start Lua Player up before using it. GuitarGod1134 also wants to point out that despite what the readme or JEMdev says it actually works on SE -C, though he hasn't been able to test it yet. He also mentions, " I just flashed up to 3.03 OE and this worked on it so have no fear this is confirmed working on 3.03 OE," so you can probably check it out for yourself as well.
All in all, it won't teach you how to strum, but it'll definitely get you ready to rock. Now, can anyone lend us a guitar? Anyone?
