Budding musicians will like this one.

N0stromo is looking to port LittleGPTracker (also known as "the piggy") to the PSP. In case you haven't heard of the piggy, it's a music tracker - software that allows you to make music.

Here's the program description from the software's official site:

LittleGPTracker (a.k.a 'The piggy') is a music tracker optimised to run on portable game consoles. It is currently running on Game Park's GP2x but there's a version for windows & mac too.

It implements the user interface of littlesounddj, a very famous tracker for the Gameboy platform that has been tried and tested by many users over the years, leading to a little complex but yet extremely efficient way of working.

Piggy currently supports 8 monophonic 16Bit/44.1Khz stereo sample playback channels. Additionally, the program can drive MIDI instruments (with the gp32 and gp2x a custom MIDI interface is required).

That said, N0stromo is asking for donations for the port, giving the following reasons on why you should send moneys:

• 1- Help out a dev that have been awesomely faithful and useful to his enthusiastic community and has been asking nothing in return, such a humble soul!
• 2- Help out the poor sobs that can't use LGPT on the go without expensive notebooks or obscure korean devices =P
• If you have a PSP and like Tracker-Style Music Sequencers at all, you should sell your house and donate. It's *that* good.

If you're willing to let go of your greens for a good pig, then follow the source link below.

Thanks to Peter Swimm for the heads up.
