phatmax_666 was able to find an eboot of the Ape Escape Racers demo and he bagged it up on the QJ forums. It's just a demo, presumably from TGS, and it contains only one track. Despite this, it's still a good demo, as demos usually go.

To make the demo work:

• create a folder - file:/psp/game/UCUS98655
• transfer the Eboot.PBP into that folder.

Controls:

• X: Accelerate
• Square : Brake
• Circle : Use power-up/weapon
• Triangle : Horn
• L+R : morph to "rocket mode"

Now, now... one of the files works on firmware 2.81, the other is a hex edit for 2.80. So if you guys want to upgrade your units, just be sure you know what you're doing.

Currently, phatmax_666 is hosting the file on RapidShare. And we all know how difficult that could sometimes get. As of the moment, we can't host the download link just yet, but soon enough, we'd post it here. HOWEVER, we have the file on our forums, so for now, you can go there (linked below) to check the demo out.
