    2. no more debug texts overwritten for devs
    3. syscall 15 added
    4. updates hashes to cobra internally​

    UPDATE HASH:
    • Make a text file named hash_recheck.txt
    • inside the file put new hashes in format filename:hash per line(e.g vsh.self:a0000101002e6534)
    • paste this file at /dev_hdd0/hash_recheck.txt
    • reboot ps3 and then reboot again
    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
    • one i checked didnt had hdd cinavia patched, this has it done

Interesting, can you elaborate on what exactly you mean by
''23. ENCHANCED REMOTE PLAY
24. REMOTE PLAY SFO FLAG OBSOLETE''?

It is a good practice to always include the md5 with every release of a CFW.

The md5 is not only used to verify the integrity of the file. The md5 is used also to authenticate that the file is the one that you intended to distribute.

It's an example of usage of the newly implemented syscall 15 as described in the OP.
The new syscall allows to execute a payload in memory or call any Lv2 function.. It's mostly for devs, not users really.... If you are not a dev, you can ignore it...

This particular example can be installed as pkg, using syscall 15, it dumps Lv2 memory to /dev_usb000 & names the dump file lv2.bin.

It should be useful in any case.
Also of great help is this new hash update function, patching vsh or other system files will no longer require recompiling Cobra.
EvilNAT had already included a feature in SEN Enabler to fix Cobra hash but this native Cobra function can now be used by devs & advanced users painlessly... Cool. [emoji4]

No. You don't need to use the reub roolbox thingy. [emoji6]

Like the name implies, the "Rebug Toolbox" is for... Rebug CFW... Lol
Very few features of Rebug Toolbox 02.02.10 will work, most features will not & are not designed to.

Fyi guys the dumper is SUPER fast compared to other pslight lv2 dumpers
It just shows how much internal library helps(cellfs and with sc 15 internal lib)
Oh and it is fw dependant
You can make it fw independant but i chose not to because my purpose was to just make a test app with sc 15 support
