Loco Roco demo released in Europe - and in English!

Loco RocoWell, I know a lot of people who liked the Loco Roco demo, but weren't quite happy because it wasn't released in the English language. Well, rejoice! Sony has just released the Loco Roco demo in English.

But, there's a catch. You need the newly released 2.71 firmware to play it. And, you need to be a registered member of the EU section of YourPSP.com. If you're lucky and you have both, make your way using the link below and have fun playing one of the most anticipated games for the PSP. And thanks for the tip Alexander!

=/.

I think that i can't register because i have a psp1001 and they don't give that option in the product thing. So what about all of us americans?! ♥
by - 2006-06-02 08:41:25
Never updating for this

Maybe this demo is cool, but not even for 1000 demos of this quality would I update my F/W 1.5. Bite me sony Homebrew & F/W 1.5 RuleZ

Same As Japanese & PSPMagDemo ?

Is this English version the same level as the Japanese Loco Roco version? In other words, Is this a completely new Loco Roco level that hasn't been seen before? In regards to this actual news, I find it exciting. This opens up a whole new idea of downloading FULL ENGLISH games from YourPSP.com, and hopefully Publishers will feel encouraged to let a small demo of their upcoming games let loose in a way os advertising their game.
by - 2006-06-02 08:46:50
English version just not as good

Having played both, the japanese version is a lot better than this version. I wonder why? Something to do with the music I think. The japanese version's music fits the game better, IMO.
by - 2006-06-02 08:47:06
Here an Idea

Intead of having to register.. Someone just host it?
by Jx1 - 2006-06-02 08:51:38
wish this would work on all 1.5

But oh well.. I'll have fun with the Flash Based version.

" If you're lucky and you have both, make your way using the link below and have fun playing one of the most anticipated games for the PSP." Hahaha, yea, cuz you're really lucky to have 2.71 Yep, lucky you!

hex editors rock

just opened this up in a hex editor searched for 2.71 changed it to 2.70 and now this works on 2.70 1.5 users are out of luck becase the demo needs some files that are installed though 2.7 update to run
by sim - 2006-06-02 09:16:30
a link

Can some one give me a link to the actual page of the site where you can find the demo because i have searched yourpsp.com for europe and i cant find it anywhere!!
by - 2006-06-02 09:17:05
I have 2 PSP's

1 white & 1 black, both F/W 1.5. There is NO way I'm updating either for this rubbish. If sony wants to entice people like me into updating their F/W, then they need to give ALOT more than this garbage. The reason being, I have over 2000 (Nintendo, Sega, Neo Geo) roms at my disposal though the PSP's use of emulation. F/W 1.5 Forever YOU HEAR ME SONY, I'M NEVER UPDATING

There is a 2.60 version.

Just to let you all know there is a 2.60 version of the demo. It was covermounted with PSP The Official Guide Book Volume 4 2006 (from Playstation 2 official magazine-uk), the UMD it was on - I can confirm was 2.60 and I was able to run portions of it with Dev Hook (but not the Loco Roco demo unfortunatly). You might be able to order a back issue from the magazines' subscriptions deparment. (UK) 0870 444 8656 (OVERSEAS) +441458271100 The UMD is Region 2 encoded (why I dont know). The magazine was rather expensive at £6.99 - but the cover mounted UMD has a lot of cool demos and stuff on it. Hope this helps guys.

update, have fun with this demo for a few minutes, then stop and realize that you just updated.
by plastik - 2006-06-02 10:39:40
Warning!

UK people, dont be tempted, just buy the UK PSP mag which has 8 demos including LocoRoco... and THEY ALL WORK WITH 2.6. Don't be dragged into 2.71 when you don't need it. Its only £4.99, definitely worth it, the lemmings and mercury demos are the best
by Arwin - 2006-06-02 10:41:14
cool

... though a bit of a shame that you can't download it directly from the psp.yourpsp.com site like you can from the Japanese site. Anyway, Loco Rocos! :) Versions look pretty much the same otherwise though. Found 18 :) The moon thing is really nice. This game is so sweet, and I can still bear it, it's amazing.
by - 2006-06-02 10:44:26
HEX Program? Mercenary

Can any one tell me what this program HEX is? , because it would be kool if we could get the other demo Kazuo working on 2.7.....along with any other future demos. (Just to keep us amused until the release of the mod chip) LOL! Thanks for your help Mercenary! ;D the loco roco demo worked!!!!
by RaiderX - 2006-06-02 11:20:14
huh?

did you REALLY just say "Lucky enoguh" to have a 2.71? HAH! i laff at you!

I'll be updating my psp tonight

I'll update my firmware and download the English version of Loco Roco tonight.

Registration

I registered my Japanese PSP in Europe and got Spiderman 2 too. There wasn't an option for the PSP1000 then, but I just picked a different type, no problems.

is it possible for someone to host em with autoinstall? maybe copy the .jp script?

PSP Mag

I checked in Smiths on the day that mag should have been released and the issue I saw on the shelves didn't have a demo disc nor any mention of one inside the mag. So when was the mag released? Is it still on the shelves? What demo's are on the disc? Looks like I'm on a mission into town to grab a copy tomorrow, if you can still get it. '(^_^)'
by - 2006-06-02 11:48:21

This yourpsp crap wont let me download or even sigh up, just wont open the link. WTF Sony, did you forget about US. Japan and Europe get Demos and crap and US gets bull. Americans have PSP's too you know.

Other languages

What nobody mentioned anywhere but might be interesting is that you can also select the typically four other languages you can usually select in Europe (including Spanish, German, French)
by - 2006-06-02 17:53:01
This version is better...

...than the one that comes on the PSP magazine cover UMD, as the magazine version is based on old code from around November 2005. This downloadable version has different SFX and the music is a lot cuter as the locorocos actually sing in their fictional language.
by - 2006-06-02 20:03:46
Damn

Lol, damn. I was playing the Japanese version lastnight. Its good they brought out an English version.
by - 2006-06-02 20:33:00
I love this game...

I played the japanese game thru a few times untill I got a perfect score, but I had to download this and play thru to see if this had any difrences, turns out its exactly the same *shrugs* oh well.

who cares? release the playstation emulator sony!
by - 2006-06-02 21:29:12
You're not that special

You're not that special for having a 1.0-2.6 PSP. I had a 1.5 for over a year ... then a 2.5 up until 3 weeks ago. I played all sort of homebrew.... it got OLD. Drop it. You're not that special.
by - 2006-06-02 23:32:58
for all psp 1.5-2.6 that love homebrew

dude get over it upgrade no harm done the modchip is almost out so just upgrade all the sony demos are hot ***** well done sony!!!! any way well done. for the new modchip run any firmware out .***** staying at 1.5-2.6 even 2.7 just get the new *****in upgrade 2.71!!!!! play all the sweet games out ***** the rest.thats all i have to say cuse this is hot *****! new 2.71 and the new modchip s(so all the homebrew world dont lose there heads over firmware) ***** make youre own let see all you mother *****er firmware .. and still run off of sonys new firmware at the same time now that is KING .
by - 2006-06-03 00:42:44
demo

So what??? I have 2.6 firmware and I have this demo on my PSP and it works!. Its on a demo disc from a magazine.
by - 2006-06-03 00:58:22
 

I agree with ThatDude. If you have a PSP on 1.5, doesn't that mean you're not getting any games for it? What kind of cheap bastards are you people? Besides, 1.5 can't play GTA, Katamari, Monster Hunter Freedom, Lemmings, LocoRoco, Field Commander... Do a bunch of crappy paint programs, emulators for systems no one uses, and other useless crap (and meybe 1 or 2 gems) really outmatch this many good REAL games? Also, nobody ever ask again whether a dev is releasing a game for 1.5. That isn't happening anymore so get over yourselves. Sony is only fighting homebrew to fight piracy. If they want to fight piracy they have to force people to upgrade. How? New feature incentives (PS1 emu, fools!) and games.
by - 2006-06-03 02:15:20
There is not going ro be a PS1 emu.

nocomment
by - 2006-06-03 02:18:21
To clarify my statement

Sony will most likely just make a selected range of PS1 games modified for the psp as an Eboot just like Locoroco.

you could go to the psp playstation website (psp.us.playstation.com) and click the news at the bottom. u have to be a member of PS underground.
by - 2006-06-03 09:22:33
Hahahah....

It's funny to hear posts like #s 59, 60, and 62. Poor noobs who upgraded without knowing what a 1.5 fw PSP can do :D @ #62: Oh, so, I CAN'T play GTA, huh? Well, better tell my PSP that because I just beat the fricken game yesterday -_-. And a bunch of emulators for "systems no one uses"? Hmmm... coulda sworn people enjoyed playing SNES, Genesis, Neo Geo, Arcade, Nintendo, and even frickin N64 on the go (not to mention the advent of wireless multiplayer). Or I could boot up a game of Quake and play with my bro. Or load up one of the 30-odd brilliant PSP titles I own and didn't pay for. Yeah, enjoy your 2.71 firmware. Hope someone makes some cool flash games for you. Oh, and more demos. Everyone loves demos, right? ... jealous jerks.
by - 2006-06-03 10:03:28
updating is cool

i have updated my psp to 2.71, im not proud of it, but i cant be bothered with homebrew- its too complicated and not that good. besides, loco roco demo is well good. and what are u homebrewers going to do when the addons like the camera attchment, gps, etc come out?
by r3quiem - 2006-06-03 11:30:26
consider it!

iono, if sony actually releases a psp emulator, i may be tempted to upgrade =/ alot of people may not consider that now, but if sony ever did, we may lose quite a number of ppl

You can register a non-European PSP

I registered my Japanese white unit, it might ahve only prompted me for 2 model choices, and not the PSP-1000 I have so I jsut chose the first option. My registration worked. I'm one of those people who has been unimpressed with the home brew I have been able to run (mine came with 2.01 on it), so I had no qualms about upgrading. Been playing the game off and on this afternoon and am now looking forwards to the game coming out. Only catch is I can't get the music out of my head. I might search out a copy of the Japanese demo to see what the original music sounds like, as some one above reckoned it was better.
by - 2006-06-03 16:03:54
Anyone who whats goin on?

Well i updated my PSP to v2.71 and for some reason i can't direct download demos it says "Do you want to download LocoRoco Downloadable Demo" And i push yes and then it says Download could not be Finished I have enough memory i have like 213mb Free! Dunno whats goin on
by - 2006-06-03 18:41:40
Ok, with dispute to the updating thing

Look, seriously, if you want homebrew, then dont upgrade. If you want the demo, upgrade. stop complaining and just do it. its up to you. but think about it. i have both a 1.5 and a 2.71. i use home brew, and i have the demo. serioulsy tho, the homebrews and emulators, are they really better than the developed games? isnt this degrading your psp? its pulling away from its full potential. not only that, its all illegal. hell, if you think its that great, y not just steal urself a new psp and upgrade that too? i have a 1.5 psp too, so i cant possibly be ignorant in this area. why not go the legal way and just get a NDS or get the real system? the NDS has remade N64 games, and its all legit. do you really want to cheat sony and the other companies out of the money they spent trying to make your psp experience better? if this continues, then of course there wont be a PS1 emu, since sony will be cheated out enough to close down their gaming department. do you really want the company you so fuly supported when you bought the psp to go out of bussiness just because you were too cheap to go tou and BUY the games? instead you just dl them. this is money that sony rightfully deserves, yet you are just taking it away from them. that is one reason why sony has to raise prices, to counteract the effects of pirating. if you just bought it from the begining, then the people going legit wont have this problem. are you just that big an *****? the more you take from sony, the less they;ll have for the ps3 or a next gen psp. i have two psp's remember that, so im not saying im completely innocent of it either. but ive stopped recently because ive thought of this. homebrew is just dragging down the psp, and will affect the ps3 too. stop being *****s. "Be a man. Do the right thing."

Innovative!

I just played through it once. Anyone who says the PSP isn't innovative needs to give this a try. Not quite like anything I ever played (kinda like this "tar" flash game) and crazy amounts of fun!
