Electronic Music other: lGPT needs yur help to get to PSP

Written January 06 2009 , Tags: donations, lgpt, portable, help
Hey friends! I don't know how pumped you people are for portable tracking, but I am super pumped. I am here to make a plea to get my favorite tracker in the hands of more people. lemme copy pazta the specs from the 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 efficent way of working.
Piggy currently supports 8 monophonic 16Bit/44.1Khz stereo sample playback channels.
The superhuman dev has said that he will port it to psp if we can scrape together a little cash for his time and the price of a PSP. Hopefully some of you can help out!
donate here!
and finally, a video of bjork tracking on the beach with her qy-70 (1:20 in). You don't know majick until you retrigger an amen break while watching a seal kill a penguin.

@celibacyclub: The pig is already available on osx, win, lin, and gp2x :D
However, the psp is a super appealing platform due to its huge installed userbase and the fact that they will be floating around on the secondhand market for years to come. Also the lsdj crowd has embraced the psp because the gameboy emulators on psp are top notch.
Personally, I really want a backup to the gp2x, because I know there will be a day when gamepark shuts down forever, and the gp2x is already kind of hard to come by.

@infradead: n0s actually did a port of piggy to the ds, however, it could not even run one channel of the pig. DS turns out to be way too slow 
sad but true, you will never see the pig on ds. IT IS TOO POWERFUL!

I believe it is an SU10 that bjork is playing with.
Look when she flips it over....quite a bit different than the QY series. More like this link

I'm all about some psp homebrew. A tracker would be a welcome addition to the musical arsenal already available. I get paid Friday, I'll donate something for sure.

AWESOME! thx esromCole!
also, with this, you will have pspseq, lsdj, and lgpt all on one portable device. If that is not a killer gig bag, I don't know what is.
