Im playing Loco Roco on my PSP, and its tricky!!!

Im on the first level after the training one, and Ive got my little Roco to an orange block that seems to be sleeping.  I cant get past that point!!!!

I want it, but it requires 2.60 PSP Firmware and I am very reluctant to upgrade from 2.01

Technically it doesnt.  Im playing it on my 1.5.
There are loaders for it.  You can use Devhook 0.41 to run the UMD.
