Ridge Racer 2 Demo on FW 2.71!
greg | October 21, 2006
Courtesy of Dark_AleX, the Ridge Racer 2 demo is now playable on FW 2.71 with HEN C, 2.71 SE-A, or DevHook. As you may or may not know Ridge Racer 2 requires the 2.81 firmware, but not anymore! Using the Decrypter Test tool in conjunction with PBP Unpacker you’re able to modify the demo EBOOT.PBP to function just fine with one of the methods mentioned above.
The steps:
- Extract the files from Ridge Racer 2 EBOOT.PBP using PBP Unpacker;
- Copy “DATA.PSP” to the root of your memory stick;
- Run Decrypter Test on a 1.50-enabled kernel. With 2.71 SE-A, copy to the “GAME150″ directory;
- After successful execution you’ll find “DATA_OUT.PSP” on the memory stick. Rebuild the PBP (with PBP Unpacker) using this newly generated file replacing the original “DATA.PSP.”;
- Change the SFO text from “2.81″ to “2.71.”

Cool! Need more demos these days
the full ridge racer 2 euro was released as a iso a week ago, so fuck the demo.
hmm can u get this to work on 2.8?
wow… and actual release on here… still not a development though.
Cool…i guess
so will 2.81 isos be able to be modified too !?
#3 ,
no it has to be less than or = to 2.71 when you cusomize it
lets just hope that $ony does not catch on and that this works with the Halloween LoCoRoCo demo! *crosses fingers*
You’re the man!!! :D
what’s the point? The full game can be played in devhook anyway!!
The Japanese Version of Ridge Racers 2 Works fine on 2.71 in Devhook
It doesn’t work on a 2.8 psp
#12 of coarse it does not work and i wish halloween loco roco comes out soon i cant wait for it i just hope this trick works on it too!
ya locoroco is the shit
man good job Dark_AleX
NICE
wait wut…i got ridge racer 2 working…..idk if its it tho cuz its exactly the same as the first part..
great hack, but this demo has convined me not to get the game. Thanks dark alex, or i would have wasted $40
Do you know that other games w/fw2.80+ works with devhook w/fw2.71 emulation. This are the games i’ve tested w/it
Star Trek – 2.81
Ford Bold Moves Street Racing – 2.80
Scooby Doo – 2.81
LAL fuck this, Namco Team hasnt done a fucking shit about the coding in the game! WTF im not wasting 40 dollars on this thing of a game!
Can you modify this to make it 1.50 compatible? change the name thing to 1.50 instead of 2.71..?
RR2 was in fact released a couple of weeks ago in ISO format full game and it works everytime on my Emulated 2.71 TA-087 ..So really I dont see how this demo is diffirent to the real game in the way of Version playablity….Cough Killzone full game is also out in ISO
hahahaaaaaa OH MYYYYYYYYYY
UM for your information…i have a japanese copy of ridge racers 2 and i can play it with my 2.71 devhook. theres no need for a 2.81 unless the english version might be different.
To play the demo in 2.80 just edit the param.sfo with PBP Unpacker. It worked for me.
I got the euro ISO to work as normal with devhook 2.71 but I can’t see the diference between this game and the 1st release.
“FORD BOLD MOVES STREET RACING”
does anyone know how i make it work with devhook2.71
Somehow i can play this game with devhook running 2.71 without doing anything
can we mod the ISOs like this to make them work like this or do we have to wait for more cool DH FW emu for the future games?
If this works for 2.71, it works on firm 1.0-2.6 right?
#26 if you are using the demo from here its already adapted for 2.71 and #27 this may or may not work with isos i would try it but my 1.5 psp is broken and i am about to try this with the other demos and post results!
MMM,If this works for 2.71, it works on firm 1.0-2.6 right?
which devhook version?
i emulate 2.70 but can’t play the demo
ps: i used devhook 0.44
you must use 2.71!
i have done this with the demos i could find and i could only find 3 and 2 out of the 3 worked and they are below:
Mercury Meltdown Demo
World Tour Soccer 2 Demo
the one that booted up fine but did not go to the menu screen was Bounty Hound and its a japanese game and if anyone knows whats wrong with it but not the others if anyone knows please post why and how to fix it!
I use dev hook .46 and it works fine… but to be honest.. I SEE NO DIFFERENCE in part one or two! haha can someone tell me the difference?!
Does anyone know if the american and japanese demos work with a european psp?
# 35 i am not sure about european psp’s but all the demos i have tryed on my US psp worked and most of the demos i have are Japanese!
LISTEN UP ALL 2.8 USERS!!!!
I will make this simple, here is a zipped file, inside is the folder and eboot you need for the ridge racer 2 demo to work on fw 2.8 psp’s, drag the folder into the game folder in your psp, load it up and it shall work!! here is the file
http://www.box.net/index.php?rm=box_v2_download_shared_file&file_id=f_22813915
(copy and paste into address bar)
sorry here is the file!!
http://www.box.net/public/zv4×1mkuql
click on download
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh OMG here is the file again, sorry guys!!
http://www.box.net/public/zv4×1mkuql
for f*** sake, on the file name in the browser change the delete the x and retype x on your keyboard that should work
OK SCRAP the last 3 posts

click download file and save the fave to disk
this doesnt work 4 me i boots, but it just shuts the psp off bunch of bs
# 42 what firmware do you have? and are you using the pre made one they provide or one you made yourself?
hmm a few weeks ago a allready downloaded rr2
jap version and it had no problem loading…
using my 1.5 psp with dev hook with fw 2.71
so are you sure you need 2.81?
or do you just need it for the demo?
Compile it for 2.8!
#41 worked perfectly for me for PSP v. 2.80. If you manage to somehow screw up extracting the folder in the zip to the GAME folder, all I an say is “May God have mercy on your soul.”
can someone compile other demos and share them with the rest of us noob and lazy dudes?
i would like them compile for 2.71.
It’s Ridge Racer! RIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACEEEERRRRRRR!!!!!
sorry if the link didnt work before for the 2.8 version of ridge racer 2 demo, here is the link again (click download)

thanks #46 i tried to make it as simple as possible lol,
as regards to #47 i can’t do it as i only have a 2.8 psp so i am unable to test the demo if it would work on a 2.71 psp, sorry.
