-'''PSV MIDI Player''' is a homebrew music application for the PlayStation Vita that plays MIDI files using the '''FluidSynth''' audio synthesis engine. It is the developer's first homebrew release for the platform.
+PSV MIDI Player is a homebrew music application for the PlayStation Vita that plays MIDI files using the FluidSynth audio synthesis engine.
-== Description ==
+== User guide ==
-PSV MIDI Player is a dedicated MIDI player built natively around the FluidSynth engine. It supports SF2 SoundFont files, which are loaded into RAM before playback begins. The user interface is minimal and text-based. The app plays MIDI files in sequence automatically once a file is selected.
+First, load your .sf2 file (it maps everything into RAM).
-The developer used the FluidR3_GM.sf2 SoundFont (141 MB) as the primary benchmark throughout development, noting that it sounds fantastic on the handheld. Due to the PS Vita's limited RAM, very large SoundFont files beyond this size have not been tested.
+Use the D-Pad to navigate your directories and select your favorite MIDI files.
-== Features ==
+The player will automatically play files in sequence.
-* Native FluidSynth-based MIDI playback
-* SF2 SoundFont file support

-* Battery saver mode: screen turns off automatically after 1 minute of no button input during playback
