Homebrew developer Mr305 has released an update to his impressive LocoRoco motion plugin. The plugin, when used in conjunction with NeoFlash’s PSP motion kit peripheral on a PSP running custom firmware 3.71 M33, enables motion sensing functionality in PSP title LocoRoco.

Version 0.99 of the plugin features the ability to jump by tilting the PSP forward then backward. The usual bug fixes are also present, as well as optimizations that reduce overall CPU usage. The complete changelog is detailed below.

* Added audio Fix; Audio works perfectly along with motion for perfect LocoRoco game experience.
Thanks to ps2dev members.
* Added a check, wherein the plugin self-terminates with a message, if Motion Kit is unplugged or not plugged in
before the game begins or due to failure in initialization; hence if anything fails, you can still
play the game unlike previous version which caused “unusably sluggish behaviour”.
* Added a Jump function but something isn’t right. Tilt forward and then backward.
[This will most probably be removed in next version if I can’t figure out the problem]
* Substantially improved chances of succesfull initialization. Failure rate – 1 in 10 times.
* Reduced CPU usage – removed unused stuff / Z axis reading / other calculations
