[RELEASE] LocoRoco Motion Plugin v0.8 - Next-gen xperience & new dimension in gaming

LocoRoco Motion Plugin v0.8
--------------------------

This is the first ever homebrew that provides motion support for a commercial game. You can buy the Neo Motion kit here ; It's a great investment you won't regret.

The name is self-explanatory. You tilt the PSP either left or right and Loco's do their magic.

Cool,but i don't have motion kit and its pretty expensive for me

So this is actually competing my motion kit driver then, eh? :P
Bad it's hardcoded for Loco Roco, but still shows that controlling even such a game with the motion kit is possible. Also you take that "first UMD game made capable of using motion kit" title, but whatever... there's more than just being "first" :P
I also guess the "audio fix" still relies on the motion kit being plugged in *before* the game is started (ie just the bare code from deniskas mapthis) and cannot detect if the plugged device is really a motion kit, so it also keeps speaker output when a headphone is plugged? Or are you just waiting for me and adrahil on ps2dev to find the firmware function to do the real audio forwarding? :P

Sorry for the critique. Still nice seeing this as a PoC.

Raphael: lol no competition; waiting for ya work too. Generic driver cant do some specialzd things which require time sensitive actions like jumping.

This auto disables if its a headphone and can differenciate a motion kit from remote ; consider it A.I. Thanks to hprm magic.

EDIT: Regarding audio fix; you'll c it coming and I havent contacted anyone.

Now I think I need to buy this peripheral and Loco Roco, if nothing else I know my GF would love this.

Combining the fast-paced PSP movements from one side to the other and the ghost-effect from the PSP LCD Screen you surely must get some sort of dizziness after playing a while .... but nevermind, it´s impressive. This plugin will surely give a new playability to Loco Roco.

I personally would have liked to see a similar plugin for Mercury´s though.

On the other hand if the price of the motion kit were fair I would definately get one.... but since it´s more or less the same price as the official GPS / Camera thing, never in a million years. Definately too expensive to afford.
