Extending Karaoke Hero.
You can add to your enjoyment of Karaoke Hero by adding .bmp files to the \media\images folder.
These bitmap files can be of any size but should be roughly proportional to the screen.
New background images are displayed as you open songs.
You can of course add .mid and/or .kar files you download or create. Keep in mind to use the "Silence Melody"
and "Critique" functions there should be a track named "Vocals" or "Melody".
Another way to extend the features of Karaoke Hero is to request it from Roughfish World Software.
