  SYSCALL 15:
  
  • allows calling of any lv2 internal function like internal memcpy to dump lv2. e.g(memcpy(dst, source, size, symbol)
  • this also allows developers to execute their own payload at an address e.g you paste payload at 0x3d98 and then execute through sc15
  • example has been attached with new include file named "sc10_15.h"
  OTHER CHANGES COMPARED:
  
  • with ALL the current cobra cfw released they have a stage0 bug which overwrites another function stack, which could cause instability

Mr. Habib will you work on your CFW with all these changes?

 

When can you expect a new CFW release?

 

There are couple of features I think I can add at this point tbh haha

1.launch bdvd copy disc without cobra
2.disable history writing(untested)
3.make cobra lv1 peek WAY faster(apps like rebug toolbox and firmware independent apps will be helped)
4.psp config support(I still have to look into it)

But for now we are working on self execution for 3k/4K. Development takes time there is a lot of stuff going on behind scene and it Would bring a lot to table once it's ready to announce and release

No reply from you for a long time probably busy but of you read my message I wonder if you latest cfw has compatibility with rebug toolbox and otheros because I planned to install linux.

I have to move to rebug cfw for easier installation but I want to come back to your cfw and i fear that your cfw delete my otheros/linux and toolbox

I read that yiur 4.46 was compatible with otheros but after no word of otheros in your latest cfw's description.

And if removed wil it be back in your next cfw
?​

 

You can switch back and forth without messing up your partition.
I think otheros isn't supported in this release

You said that I can back and forth from a cfw to another without messing up my partition.it is a thing I know about it

But you also said that otheros is not supported by your CFWs? None of them ?

Hence if i want to go bac to your cfw from a rebug cfw i will loose otheros and linux etc...?

 

@habib I have a question; any plan to release new CFW with COBRA functions in it ?

It will be cool with PSP configs support feature

Absolutely...

It's great to mount PSP iso without any psp launcher homebrew like remaster one.

 

Very nice if you could catch iso psp without the psp launcher, just like other games ps3 / ps2 / psx. Can you expect such features? Or the option to unmount games on the context xmb menu

Would be nice to play more compatible PSP games (maybe can run Patapon) with PS3 without any homebrew launcher.

 

Are there any works on this cfw with these functions?

 

Will be cfw with new features? I read the topic here I am new and interesting things can be, I am curious if you can improve the PSP on PS3. Because the new REBUG has just come out but it does not have these functions.

Maybe soon I will also come out hoping that these functions will be added.

 

A question:

Update to 4.82 rebug dex or wait for new Habib CFW ?

 

Well one is out and one is not. (so answer is easy)
You could use the one that is out and IF habib releases a 4.82 CFW you could then try it out then and decided which you like better. Easily can install one over another so no worries in that regard.

It's easy without a problem but I do not recommend testing different cfw usually ends with a disk format with experience that I know, for a lot of bugs is created and garbage on the disk from previous cfw. I've tested a lot of cfw in different configurations and there are always problems when changing cfw not great but always some.

Maybe you have a HDD issue, I have changed FW about 10 times recently on one of my consoles without any issues.

Installing CFW does not add any files to the HDD, not sure where you got that idea. 100% of it gets installed to flash, HDD stays untouched (apart from virtual flash on NORs)

Note: if you go to really low FW, like below 4.40 or something, then you might have issues as cobra file permissions changed somewhere back there. But all recent FW can be installed

 

Maybe on the occasion that soon there will be OFW 4.85, you can make a fat CFW @habib with features that many people ask

 

I do not know if it's writing in a good thread, but I'm new to the PSX place, but the scene has been around for a long time. I support before the speaker would add new features to the cobra, I read the entire thread and a lot about the cobra cfw, and missing a few things or did not work well. Among other things, running psp iso without laucher whith config and autoselect mini/remaster/ad hoc as in ps2 iso("UMD ICON + disc format Playstation Portable" in all languages) , lack of pbp support for PSX, useful in multi-disc games, one eboot better than many iso discs. I also checked the unmounting disc by COBRA, there are small issue, with the game mounted by the cobra and the mounted BR disc, after unmounting the wwm game there is a error and when firing the original game. Extracting the game as standard for the original games BR works in the context menu xmb after pressing the triangle on the disc. But after pressing the triangle on the mount mounted by COBRA, all other functions work (turn on, Info etc) but unmount no response, do not unmount the mounted game. These things are definitely lacking in cfw and adding them would revive the CFW very much, maybe cobra developers will do it. CFW quality overclocked up to 200%.

 

Can't wait for the new build with all those new functions like psp
