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.”

Too lazy? Download the 2.71 compiled Ridge Racer 2 Demo right here.

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

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.

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!

# 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?

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.”
