LocoRoco Title Previously reported yesterday, the demo for LocoRoco is now available for download. Before you immediately click on download keep in mind that to play this demo, you will need to have firmware 2.70 installed. For those of you paying a first time visit here, or unsure what this means, it means that currently you will not be able to play any homebrew (homemade programs) on your PSP.

You need will need at least 8MB free space on your memory stick for the installation of the application, and as I mentioned previously PSP Firmware 2.70 (if you dare.) Installation:

1.) Add a folder in the base directory of your memory stick entitled "PSP".
2.) Under the "PSP" folder, create a folder named "GAME"
3.) Under the "GAME" folder, create a folder named "UCJS10041"
4.) Put the downloaded file into the "UCJS10041" folder.

I really hope that someone will figure out a way to debuild the firmware 2.70 update, so everyone will be able to play the latest demos at theyr 2.6 or less.

 » wtf

is it me or is the game surprisingly entertaining,everything from the unique tilt screen and weird japenese music in the backround...hmmmmm im actually beggining to think updating to 2.7 was a great idea but only if game companies continue to release demos for the psp

   by Anonymous Coward (Unregistered) - 2006-04-25
 » Cool

Sony should release more demos for PSP, and maybe release an official dev kit for homebrew developers.

I would also like to see an English demo of this game released.

 » Hmmm....weird

Well, this works fine with the new US 2.7 Update; It shows a little yellow blob dancing to japanese music in the background.

I have no idea what this is; more like a movie than a game. lol. Oh, well.

But flash is great! Definetly a good addition

LocoRoco rocks! It's such a good game, and surprisingly the music doesn't get annoying.

 » Info

You can move the blob with pressing R to the right and L to the l eft, and if you want to jump you press L if you moving to the right and R if youre moving to the left, single press O to let the blob fall out in some small blobs.and hold O to le tall the blobs become 1 big blob again ;) Thats it.

Hey DaantjUH.
You have 2.70? Cool, where did you buy your PSP? Is the PSP Japanese/Chinese, or can you on any other psp?

 » homebrew... ?

it would be a little bit too easy, just beiing able to run homebrew (Eboot's) straight from the game folder,
i wish it were possible, but i strongly doubt it...

i hope there will be another exploit soon so the homebrew scene can go forward...

 » How this works

LocoRoco seems to be a straightforward encrypted + signed EBOOT - i.e. the sort of thing that the /psp/game/ folder was designed for.

This doesn't help us to run homebrew - the PSP has ALWAYS been capable of running signed+encrypted eboots from the game folder, the challenge has always been about running UNSIGNED / UNENCRYPTED eboots.

And no, we're not able to sign or encrypt homebrew in the necessary way to allow it to be run.
