Loco Roco halloween demo out now

Posted Oct 26, 2006 at 10:42AM by QJ Staff Listed in: News, Titles, Games Tags: Sony

Your Halloween's about to get just a little bit crrrrraaaazierrr because we now have the special Halloween demo for Loco Roco! But before you roll, tilt, and bounce with joy, you should know that contrary to what we earlier reported, the demo only requires a 2.71 firmware (*happy happy joy joy*), and NOT 2.82.

Here are the download instructions:

Using your PC, locate or create a folder named "PSP" on the Memory Stick Duo media. Within the "PSP" folder, locate or create a folder named "GAME." Within that folder, create another one and name it "UCUS98662." Take note that all folder names must all be in uppercase letters.

Then, you can now download the demo and save it in the "UCUS98662" folder you created earlier. It's important that you follow these procedures because if you fail to save the file in the correct location and under the right filename, the data won't be recognized by the system.

Location: Save in the "UCUS98662" folder
Filename: Save as "EBOOT.PBP"

All noted? Good, then what are y'all waiting for? Go lololoco over Loco Roco and download the demo now!

# Nice. — Guest 2006-10-26 05:09

Is this demo any good?

# :) — Guest 2006-10-26 05:23

# good demo — Guest 2006-10-26 05:24

good demo, tested on 2.71 SE-B :)

# bah — Guest 2006-10-26 05:29

This is the OLD Demo, Nothing from HALOWEEN in it... Its just the OLD demo Level on my PSP :S. And I already bought the Full Version so I would like to play this on my PSP. I got a PSP with FW 2.81 PSP-1001

# Original LocoRoco demo! — Guest 2006-10-26 05:29

Test thy programs before release. For thou shalt realise this is thy original demo.

# ok this is strange — lansingone 2006-10-26 05:30

first i hear that MOH heros only needs 2.71, then i hear killzone only needs 2.71, now this only needs 2.71? whats going on with them? now to see if GTA vcs only needs 2.71 then i would think thare's somthing going on with sony

# ... — Guest 2006-10-26 05:32

And thou shalt produce thy true demo, which shall stay on thy PSP until the end of days.

# Don't download the above — Guest 2006-10-26 05:38

The above doesn't work in 2.71 and could very well be a bricking program. DO NOT DOWNLOAD the program above. Wait for an update from qj.net or go get it from the official LocoRoco site, if available.

# F.U.C.K — Guest 2006-10-26 05:46

Is The OLD Demo...

# hm that suck — Guest 2006-10-26 05:46

Dam I thought it would be at least halloween stages or something, but...since one person said it's not then... I guess it's not special enough for me to download it.

On another hand, its good to see that sony got smarter a bit for making on fw 2.71 so that hombrew people can play it.

Seriously, if they have many demo in this way, then their UMD sales might get extra boost.

# You want video of proof? — Guest 2006-10-26 05:51

I can prove it, if you want.

# SSSsssoooo — Guest 2006-10-26 05:57

What's going on lol QJ Come on and post the Halloween one not Original But I guess I'll sit and wait for this Awesome Demo!

# Not new... — power7714 2006-10-26 05:57

The real Halloween demo is on the Euro psp store site along with the MotoGP demo. Someone please download and post.

# the real demo — Guest 2006-10-26 05:57

yes this is the real demo. the one posted above by Eranmane but for it to work you have to rename the UCES00304-Halloween folder to UCES00304.

just delete "-Halloween" from the end. it worked for me.

# meh — Guest 2006-10-26 06:03

how upsetting where is the scary skeletons and candy >

# FOR — Guest 2006-10-26 06:04

ME, I DELETED THE halloween thing but still not working

# why? — Guest 2006-10-26 06:09

the game could not be started

no reasons

juz that =(

toking abt the onr eranmane posted

people who tested what version psps do u have

# neato — Guest 2006-10-26 06:09

all i did was remove "-Haloween" from the end and it worked for me. i'm on 1.5 with devhook.46 emulating 2.71 and it works fine first try. i like the sound the pumkins make when you bounce of them.

# MotoGP Demo.. — power7714 2006-10-26 06:10

IS "ANYONE" GOING TO GET THE MotoGP DEMO?!

# AWESOME!!!! — power7714 2006-10-26 06:14

This version of the locoroco demo is great!! I love the sounds and graphics in this one. Much more fun than the original!

Now I just wish I had that MotoGP demo to try too...

# Demos — Guest 2006-10-26 06:18

Hey everyone go to http://www.freewebs.com/psp117/pspdownloads.htm it has all the demos out even Moto Gp and Halloween Loco Roco

# +( — Guest 2006-10-26 06:32

I grabbed them from there and Loco Roco says it requires 2.82 and Moto GP needs 2.81 :(

# moto — Shivy 2006-10-26 06:42

link for moto gp?

# come on.. — PSPFourLife 2006-10-26 06:56

well, the euro site says that this demo requires 2.82.

this is pretty lame...

# A TREAT OR REALLY A TRICK — soopergooman 2006-10-26 07:25

AHEM, this demo needs a 2.82 update folks. It seems as though pspupdates has gotten it wrong. I hope someone can change it so that it'll werk on lower fw's like the other demos that peeps have hexed.

here's a vid of it:

# LOCOROCO COMNING SEPTEMBER 2006 — Guest 2006-10-26 08:05

die and it will say that rofl * this demo *

# sux.. — Guest 2006-10-26 08:06

It sucks that it requires fw 2.82 but i won't upgrade for a demo....

# can — Guest 2006-10-26 08:17

can someone put the link to both those games please

# firmware? — Guest 2006-10-26 08:19

so what firmware does the real halloween demo requires?

# MOTO GP DEMO OUT ALREADY!!!! — Guest 2006-10-26 08:24

yes get it at yourpsp.com and if your from america, go to united kingdom. AAAAND i got the REALLLLL loco roco haloween demo there, and it DOES require fw 2.82!!

# can — Guest 2006-10-26 08:31

not if you hex it

# 2.82 STUPID!!! — Guest 2006-10-26 08:37

DEMOS CAN STILL BE HEXED!!!! so no major security patches. and again MOTO GP DEMO OUT ALREADY!!!

# it works — Ryu 2006-10-26 08:46

I does work but how did you do it

# how — Guest 2006-10-26 08:46

how do you hex edit

# can — Guest 2006-10-26 08:47

yes but I need the link to the Eurapean website to get it

# I can't believe they reposted the same demo and the others don't work. — Guest 2006-10-26 09:09

I downloaded the demo posted by Eranmane and i got this message on my fw 2.8 ta-082 psp

1) An icon displays a badly cropped image the pic above, it's also titled locoroco(tm)

2) Loads the psp screen then goes to black for ten second while it boots of MS

3) Exits to the underlying theme then displays this game can not be played.

(80020148)

Every demo including the RR2 has worked, is it this file or one of the goblins I have expierenced since using the tiff exploits (i.e. not going into suspend mode serveral times after testing them)on my fairly new psp.

# ***** YOU SONY! — Guest 2006-10-26 09:11

No! They have updated security in the demos....:( there is no way to make these run on a lower version that 2.82 or 2.81 for Moto GP 2. Well their might be a way but hex editing doesnt work.

# yea it does — Guest 2006-10-26 09:29

http://www.lesemeu.com/PSP/fichiers/locohallo271.zip

this works...its from scee(europe)

# You can play Moto GP AND the new LocoRoco. — Guest 2006-10-26 09:39

I already answered this on psp3d.com, so here is a link to it.

Basically, thank you Dark_Alex for once again helping to save the day!

Link : http://tinyurl.com/y8z7ge

# Works on 2.71 — Guest 2006-10-26 09:54

The real one works on 2.71. I tested it. Here is what you need to do:

Get the real halloween demo of course

Get dark alex's ridge racer decrypter

Open up the halloween demo in PBP Unpacker

Extract all the files somewhere (desktop for example)

copy the data.psp to the root of your memory stick.

run dark alex's decrypter test on the psp.

go to usb mode again and copy the data_out.psp to your desktop or somewhere.

rename it to data.psp

open pbp unpacker

click open and select your param.sfo

change where it says 2.82 to 2.71

save the file

click new and add your icon, your back pic, the data.psp and the param.sfo.

save it

copy it to X:\PSP\GAME\UCE S00304

I have only tested it in 2.71 SE-B but will most likely work in 2.71 HEN C and Devhook with 2.71. It probably won't work in regular 2.71.

Please test it if you have hen c or dvehook with 2.71

# Demo — TheMarioKarters 2006-10-26 09:59

The ACTUAL demo requires 2.82, though I hex edited it to 2.80 and it works. Same for MotoGP. :)

# bull ***** — Guest 2006-10-26 10:03

this is just the old demo, not any special haloween or any crap like that. and ***** 2.82 im not updating for nothing, except 3.00

# Get the demo here — Guest 2006-10-26 10:08

# THANKS ERANMANE — Guest 2006-10-26 10:14

eranmanes link is legit and the demo works great, do what the other guy said. just take the "-halloween" off the end and you have yourself a creepy fun level of locoroco.

the song in it is incredibly annoying though, not cute just obnoxious

# OLD DEMO — Guest 2006-10-26 10:28

this is the first demo realesed, not halloween'

# hex edit? — Guest 2006-10-26 10:42

# LOLO — Guest 2006-10-26 11:33

Thats dumb. This is just the old LocoRoco. And the halloween Locoroco does require 2.82 firmware. But you can justy eaisly hex edit it to 2.8 or below

Thnx man a working LR halloween demo on devhooked 2.71!

# Loco Roco Halloween Fix — Guest 2006-10-26 15:13

Um I noticed this wasn't working in anything low enough firmware version (below 2.82) to be useful to homebrewers, so I took the liberty of using Dark Alex's handy tool and recompiled the demo it works on 2.71 now via devhook or CW, whichever.

Enjoy

# normal :( — Guest 2006-10-26 17:19

this is the normal loco roco not the halloween one!!!!!!!!!

# how to hex edit — Guest 2006-10-26 17:23

use XVI32 to replace what the fw requirement but make sure the (top bar) is set to "text string" as well as the bottom, by typing it in (2.81) then the second line below it type the desired fw (2.80) and hit replace all then after you get a prompt telling you its found atleast "1" save it and viola

# ... — Guest 2006-10-26 17:55

Why QJ bloggers? Why repeat Sony's evil doing?

Putting UCUS98662 on a folder is pointless!

Name any demo folder anything you want, it's YOUR PSP.

Oh, and yeah, the demo on this site is the original.

(I guess some people don't know the difference between Halloween and April Fool's Day. j/k, But still, wtf.)

I tested it on devhook with 2.71.

# this demo does work on 2.71 — Guest 2006-10-26 18:07

dont download the one off this site or the official sony site. i guess the europe version only needed 2.71 and not 2.82. i just tried it and it does work. this is the site to get it http://www.lesemeu.com/PSP/fichiers/locohallo271.zip

# about loco roco new demo — Guest 2006-10-26 18:56

# I found a demo that works on 2.71 — Guest 2006-10-26 19:17

I found the locoroco demo that works on 2.71 its the halloween one. Sorry I cant say where I got it from or ill get banned but its out there but I can tell you that its from a Spanish site.

# Get it from — Guest 2006-10-26 19:20

Get it from another site this one doesn't work

# Its fun! — Guest 2006-10-26 20:48

This level isn't featured in the game. I have the game and I still downloaded the hex edited version of this demo.

# i confirm — Guest 2006-10-26 21:32

im european and for me it s the old demo when i dl here

locoroco needs a 2.82 upgrade. if someone can hex edit the demo and give us the link. the one thing who change with qj's demo it s that i can choose amerian langage...

# hex edit — Guest 2006-10-26 21:51

# use this — Guest 2006-10-27 03:42

http://www.lesemeu.com/PSP/fichiers/locohallo271.zip

this works on devhooked 2.71

tho, when i exited, devhook froze, i did a hard reboot and was back at 1.50 so whatever.

theres nothing special about it, its just a nice level,

oh and devhook worked after words, im not sure why it froze

# Yeah, that's the 2.71 one. — Guest 2006-10-27 04:28

http://www.lesemeu.com/PSP/fichiers/locohallo.zip

That should be the right link for you 2.80ers.

# yeah i'm in agreement with Optix — staaka 2006-10-27 07:01

this IS the old demo. what kind of crap is that, to just post a download link to an old demo?

# Old Demo — Guest 2006-10-27 07:21

This is the old demo, and the new one needs 2.82.

# :) — Guest 2006-10-27 07:23

i agree

# THIS IS THE OLD DEMO — Guest 2006-10-27 07:36

Wow if your going to post news then you should at least have played it I mean cmon stop failing so freaking hard.

# gay ppl — Guest 2006-10-27 11:02

can some of u guys understand

THIS GAME CAN B HEXED JUST LIKE KLFSLJD SAID lol

just use a hex editor and look for where it says 2.82 and change it to 2.70, 2.71, 2.80, or 2.81

ok now u should get it =)

# Demo — Guest 2006-10-27 13:18

http://www.lesemeu.com/PSP/fichiers/locohallo271.zip

As many have said before, it works great, just delete the "-Hallloween" part. The only problem there is is that if you are running devhook, it freezes when you exit, but just hard reboot.

And of course, NO HEX NECESSARY with this one.

# ***** — Guest 2006-10-28 06:09

HOW COME IT DOSE WORK? ON 2.71

# Idiots — Guest 2006-10-29 06:16

This demo is the regular demo and not the Halloween demo. Proof that PSP Updates doesn't test stuff out that is sent to them.

# new demo — vgit 2006-11-03 08:54

this demo is better than the original demo .yay for halloween!
