Developer Joonie of Team Rebug has announced today the latest cfw release (following 4.84.2 rex) of the REBUG brand. This is not the iconic REX flavor of PS3 Custom Firmware, which is a hybrid of dex/cex, In order for the creation of REX, the team is dependent and still in search for file's needed for the creation of REX (4.85 DEX PUP). However, they have the LITE version (a CEX based Cobra CFW) ready to go for 4.85 user's seeking a new 4.85 CFW. This is a welcomed update from Team Rebug as the 4.85 PS3 CFW landscape has been a bit light in choices (for 4.85).

Also, they have updated the Cobra payload to now version 8.2 & also the Rebug Toolbox has been updated (toolbox addon requires installation in "install package files" pkg is waiting for you there after installing REBUG) You can checkout all the feature's/patche's in the provided list below for this PlayStation 3 Custom FirmWare and then checkout full details/documentation of the release at rebug.me the official website (direct link found at bottom of article).

Strange. Obviously you'll need Cobra if you want to play an ISO PS3 game while signed in, so I would maybe suggest trying a different 4.85 CFW - Spy Cobra or Ferrox Cobra are your two other options at the moment. See if the problem persists with either CFW. I'm not sure what else you could try, aside from seeing if the same thing happens with PSNpatch or SEN Enabler on the current Rebug firmware.

Okay, thank you very much Coldheart2236
I choose to wait for Rebug 4.85 REX/D-REX, then the system can't get any worse at least
Or maybe someone else has the same problem and a fix

 

Mister @Joonie, on github forked from project Cobra 7.3 of @aldostools I saw the stage2.cex and the stage2.dex compiled for Firmware 4.85.

So I ask you if you expect the OFW 4.85 DEX to be released, in order to create the REBUG REX / D-REX ?

Is it also possible to use Cobra 8.2 on the current REX 4.84.2 Rebug?

I can replace the stage2.cex and the stage2.dex I have to wait for a release of the current REX Rebug ?


Thanks, always fantastic.

@smikk
I think

• stage2.cex is stage2.cex.release (finalized version it can't debug output log using socat) and
• stage2.dex is stage2.cex.debug (which can debug output log using socat to let user see what happens in ps3)

what rco/sprx/self is called when click on/launch something but maybe i am wrong maybe he create stage2.dex for 4.85 as no changes between firmwae 4.84 and 4.85 (CEX) and he made it for DEX

Mister @Joonie
So I ask you if you expect the OFW 4.85 DEX to be released, in order to create the REBUG REX / D-REX ?

I think he always expect to get sooner OFW DEX when new OFW (CEX) is released to make REBUG Full Edition(REX/D-REX) faster but that depends on devs,users,people who own a real debugging station and accept to share/leak OFW DEX PUP to joonie so he can release his REBUG REX/D-REX Edition

Mister @Joonie
Is it also possible to use Cobra 8.2 on the current REX 4.84.2 Rebug?

You can replace Cobra files from Evilnat's git he update Cobra 8.2 source for diffrent firmware bins will not cause any harm only it could lead to soft-brick if you do something wrong but lv2*kernel.self need to be replaced in unpacked REBUG 4.84 REX PUP but lv2 kernel can lead to perma-brick if you do something wrong or something happend by accident file can be damaged if you have pc with viruses and this cannot be recovered even if you have hardware flasher as it can kill your ps3 as lv2kernel can call/read/write to diffrent places in ps3 and SYSCON is one of them and those can have no way back to return to working PS3 even if you have valid dump before and HW Flasher so i suggest you to wait for @Joonie maybe he can update REBUG 4.84 with Cobra 8.2

Nope i think when you do it you will get no display till you pull out your HDD ,one of my friend try that before and he gets his PS3 like it still ON but no display till he format the HDD then he gets his ps3 to work

 

In CFW 4.84 I had the error 80028F10 with PSX PAL games.
In 4.85 I still can't play PSX PAL games.

Have you tried using IRISMAN? I haven't been on PS3 much lately, or tried this version of REBUG, but IRISMAN always worked well for me to play PAL PSX games.

In IRISMAN they work. When I use 4.83 they work with webman.


Will it be a bug in CFW 4.84 and 4.85?

 

Anyone having problems with ps1 games?
Lot's of games running with sound issues!

 

Hello I'm getting a error code 80023017 and I have already updated the Np environment to np, is there anything else I can do so I can access games online?

 

So how come I have a menu set and everything and I go into bo2 and I get the welcome screen but i do what it says on how to open the menu and nothing happens at all?????

 

I have a NTSC CECHA01 and while playing NTSC PS1 bins I have a lot of audio stuttering.
I'm playing using webman with cobra enabled and my games are installed in the internal HDD

 

I have downgraded back to 4.82.2 DEX and the problem persists but while launching from Irisman the games work properly.
Is there a way to disable the "video type fix" from cobra?

 

Did you tried to change PS1 emu?
At default IRISMAN is using ps1_netemu:

In webMAN MOD hold R2 or L2 while mounting a PSX ISO to choose ps1_netemu or ps1_emu.

 

Just tried both emulators in webman and I had the same result. But in Irisman the games run flawlessly with both

 

Did you tried all PS1 emus in IRISMAN, or just default?
Even old_emu plays fine?

By audio stuttering, you mean audio in all games or in games that have CDDA:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc_Digital_Audio.

 

ps1_emu and ps1_netemu
I tried Oddworld Abe's Oddysee, Marvel vs Capcom and X-Men Children of the Atom

 

I mounted games from USB and they work properly :-/

 

I opened an issue for webMAN and it looks like the problem is with Cobra https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/issues/295

@Joonie does it make sense for you?

 

I opened an issue for webMAN and it looks like the problem is with Cobra https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/issues/295

Theoretically there is also issue section at cobra:
