This lesson can be freely used. All  I asked is that you only link it and not copy it, since it takes a long time and a lot of effort to write a tutorial.

 Since I am under a lot of pressure with other work, I cannot

respond to personal emails.

However, you are welcome to ask any questions on my  PSP groep

" Ger's Psp Café" .
