How to Use the LocoRoco 2 Save Editor

Preparing Your PSP

  Navigate to the PSPatchator website (see Resources) and download the "Savegame deemer" plugin. This is necessary in order for your "Locoroco 2" save games to work with the save editor. It is only possible to use this plug-in if your PSP is running custom firmware.

  Hold down the "Ctrl" button on your keyboard and left click each of the files to select them. Right click on any of the highlighted files and select "Copy" from the pop-up menu. Navigate to the "SEPlugins" folder found in the root of your PSP memory stick and right click. Select "Paste" from the pop-up menu. If you do not have the "SEPlugins" folder, create it first and then paste the files in it.
