User guide
You have to hit notes whith the right buttons when they reach the red line.
This game include both Play and Edit parts, which allows you to create compositions then play. You can choose the speed and the composition can be saved.
Editor mode:
- Choose a track to edit then modify it to your liking.
- The keys are explained on the upper screen.
- The preview starts from from current position and stops when you press Select key again
- Save is done on the current slot, so it overwrites the old song.
Play mode:
- The track you play on is the last one edited.
- To load a music, you must therefore edit it and then quit the editor (with or without saving).
- The notes scroll, and you should play them when they approach the red line.
- Your accuracy is shown in % on the right of the bottom screen.
- Your score and your max combo are also at this place.

Screenshots
Compatibility
Tested on Original R4 (firmware 1.17).
Known issues
Edit mode:
- Be careful not to go to the very top of the track (the top of the screen is not the top of the track, the top of the track is much further away) when you are previewing, otherwise it shifts the notes.
- Placing several notes on the same line will only play the 1st in preview.
Play mode:
- Several notes on the same line will only play the 1st if you press exactly the keys at the same time. The different notes are still validated.
- If you have deleted a note placed very high on the track in the editor, this point will be kept as the end of the song.
- It may therefore take a long time for the game to return to the menu, so press Start + Select to prematurely quit.
Changelog
