Highlight text to annotate it

I posted a video months ago of me
getting Vib-Ribbon to work on an
Iphone version of an emulator called
RetroArch.
At the end of the video, I said I couldn't
find a way to play custom music on it,
but later added an annotation saying that
I've found a way and will make a tutorial
for it if requested.
Before we get into the trick of playing
with our own music, here's some of the
tools I'll be using - all of the software
are free and listed in the video
video description should you not
own the software yourself.
ImageBurn, an empty Audio CD,
a drive that you can actually burn on,
music of your choice - preferably in mp3 format,
an emulator with the ability to switch Image Files.
In terms of which Audio CD you want to use
could vary. I tried using a normal CD-R with
80 minutes, 700 megabytes storage - but it
failed. I probably did something wrong
so you should actually try it if you
got one. But for this tutorial, I'll
be using the blankest of the blankest
CDs out there with no label on them whatsoever.
So go ahead and open up ImageBurn. Go
menu strip up top where it says 'Mode'
and press 'Write'.
Click on this little button.
And this is where you put your
desired music you want to use.
Keep in mind that you can only
put a certain amount of music in
it, or length.
The green progressbar will tell
you how much you can add.
And also: do not just pick just one
song. Pick more than one - I'll talk
more about this later in the video.
Once you've added the songs you want,
press OK and save the .CUE file
wherever you feel like.
We're not going to keep it for very
long, so saving it to the desktop
will save you some time.
Now, our .CUE file has been created
containing the information about the
songs we're going to burn.
It's time for us to actually burn
the damn thing to our empty
Audio CD.
You can also go ahead and untick
this checkbox about verifying our CD.
we don't need to be extra secure.
Now, go ahead and burn the songs
to our CD.
So now we've burned our songs
to our CD. Open up ImageBurn
again, and this time, press
'Create image file from disc'.
Select the drive where the CD is
and set the output location for our files
I'll be putting mine on my desktop.
Give it a name too while you're at it.
And press 'Read'.
We don't need to use ImageBurn anymore.
You can close it and return to where
the file's output was.
You can also delete the first file
we ever created - we don't need to
use it anymore. Unless you want to re-burn
it to another CD.
Place the two files somewhere.
I'll be putting mine to where the game
itself lies, so it's easier to access
it later on.
And then, start the emulator.
Launch Vib-Ribbon and go to the
part of the menu where you can
get to the CD selection.
Go to the menu strip up top
and click File, click Eject CD
File again, and Insert CD Image.
This time, pick the file where our
songs lies in.
If you've followed every step in this
tutorial, same goes on using the same
emulator or something alike, it should
work.
And remember when I put for songs
but the game can only read three of them?
That's what I meant about in the
beginning of the video - that you
should have more than one song.
Which song that doesn't get included
is something I never look up. So I
don't know how to fix this issue.
Sorry about that.
