  Savegames conversion tutorial
  
  WARNING: This option will overwrite your current savedata in dev_usbXXX, use it with caution
  
  
  • Download someone else's savegame for your game of your choice
  • Put the savedata in your pendrive in "X:\PS3\SAVEDATA" (pendrive must be in FAT32)
  • Put in the pendrive in the PS3
  • Select Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > PSN Tools > Convert Savedata
  • Wait until the conversion finishes
  • Once finished, copy your converted savedata throught XMB "Saved Data Utility (PS3)"
  • Launch your game and load your new savedata
  
  
  Creation of act.dat tutorial
  
  WARNING: The accountID is linked to savedata and trophies, so, if your current user already have a valid accountID and you overwrite it, you will be unable to use your trophies and savedata on that account until you restore the original accountID in xRegistry.sys.
  
  I recommend to use an empty account without trophies and savedata or an account without accountID.
  
  To create a fake act.dat, Cobra 8.3 must be enabled, and your PS3 must have at least one account with a valid accountID and launch a game that requires a RIF/RAP license file.
  
  Cobra will search a valid accountID in all existing accounts and create act.dat while the game is launched through the XMB. If no accountID is found, act.dat will not be created.
  
  You can create a fake accountID (like reactPSN), to do this go to Network > ★ Custom Firmware Tools > PSN Tools and choose between "Create accountID" or "Overwrite accountID" (Be careful about the last option because if you already have a fake/real accountID it will be overwritten). It is recommended to use these options in an account that does not have an ID. The PS3 will restart if everything went well.
  
  The tutorial would be the following:
  
  • Download your purchased PSN game from PS Store
  • Put game RAP file in "X:\exdata" or "/dev_hdd0/exdata"
  • Launch your purchased PSN game
  • Cobra will check if any of your PS3 accounts have accountID
  • Faked act.dat will be created while the game is launching
  
  If none of your accounts have a valid accountID you will need to create it. To do this log into the local PS3 account where you want to create the accountID. You can see if your current local account has an accountID choosing Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > PSN Tools > Show accountID.
  
  To create a faked act.dat do the following:
  
  • Make sure Cobra 8.3 is enabled
  • Select Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > PSN Tools > Create accountID
  • Select Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > PSN Tools > Activate account
  • Launch your purchased PSN game
  • Faked act.dat will be created while the game is launching
  
  Now you have a faked act.dat and your local account is activated. The act.dat file works for every local account, you only need one file for all accounts.
  
  
  Block PSN log in
  
  This method is developed by @DeViL303, it will only work with Cobra enabled, Cobra will block log in on PSN/SEN while the CFW syscalls are enabled, to enable it again you need to disable CFW syscalls completely (you can do it with webMAN MOD, psnpatch, SEN Enabler, etc…).
  
  If you want to disable this feature, simply delete /dev_flash/vsh/resource/npsignin_plugin.lck

I have installed the definitive toolbox 2.0 and I have seen that it has the cfw evilnat 4.87.3 Has anyone tried it?

It's not out yet. If you read the release notes you will see that it links to 4.87.2 for now.

 

If you read the release notes of Ultimate Toolbox, that link is only a placeholder.
It will download Evilnat 4.87.2 because 4.87.3 is not released yet.

Bien, lo he visto después, me disculpo por mi error, gracias por contestar

English Translation:
Well, I have seen it later, I apologize for my mistake, thanks for answering

Can I inbox you if it's ok I have a question but it's not related Evilnat or Ferrox it's regarding HEN tbh ok nevermind I don't have enough permission to inbox yet so my question is probably gonna get flagged but
I have a super slim on HFW & Hen 4.87
My issue is after a while of using it I get an error asking me to connect pad with cable and insert a USB device with 4.87 on pretty much anything I launch so I sent it back to OFW 4.87 and redone the entire process and it worked fine but now I get same issue my Slim I will be changing from Ferrox to Evilnat CFW though

trying to qa flag on evilnat (token hasn't been used previously) any way of doing it Habib's qa enabler seems to not work trying to downgrade my fat to 3.15 so I can run linux with RSX support

Habib QA Toggler worked fine for me (Evilnat 4.87.2).

 

weird maybe it's the combo it is hard for me to activate with my Cerebral palsy ,wish there was an easier way w/o the combo

Yeah, I agree: that combo is a little bit hard to do...

As I remember it, there is no combo necessary in order to downgrade, you can use the combo as a mean to verify that QA is enabled correctly but unless you specifically need the Edy menu it's a waste of time because the QA toggler always works.

1. Run QA toggler (assuming QA is currently disabled!).
2. Reboot the console to apply the QA changes in memory.
3. Install 3.15 or whatever it is that you wish to experiment with.

 

Yeah there is no need to do the Combo to downgrade, its only for confirming QA flag is enabled.


Also, Not sure if everyone knows this, but the button combo can be done 2 ways.

You can replace D-Pad down with left stick down. This makes it a lot easier IMO as you just need to press all 4 shoulder buttons and click in the left stick (L3) while also pulling it down.

 

Quick question I have a 160gb with Evilnat 4.87.2 I just bought a 500GB HDD to swap out do I need to install OFW the EvilNat on the new HDD?

Yes, that feature was added to Cobra by deank on 2017
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/n...y-games-media-from-burned-optical-media.12522

Cobra must be enabled.
PS3 game must be burned from a proper ISO (not from a JB folder).
Burned PSX games also should work.
Burned PS2 games only work on B/C phat models.

 

4.87.3 final BETA version was sent to testers two days ago and for now all is working as expected. If all goes well, it will be released in a week. My Cobra repository on Github is not up to date with all Cobra's current code to avoid existing issues, it will be updated in a week as well.

4. WARNINGS

The accountID is directly linked to savedatas and trophies data. If you have trophies or savedatas in your current local account, THEY WILL BE CORRUPTED after setting FAKE accountID. To fix this, copy the savedata to the root of a USB, convert it and then copy it back through XMB in 'Game' tab. To fix corruption in trophies you need to delete it/them. Is highly recommended to do this on a local account without trophies/savedatas.

The FAN speed is constant when in a PS2 game, BE CAREFUL while selecting modes because it will not change after the PS2 game is loaded. All current speeds in xai_plugin must keeping a correct temperature in CPU and RSX.

Nice I will install this in morning I do have a question I hope someone could answer it's very odd tbh and random
I'm on EvilNat 4.87.2 and some games I have on my Fat32 external HDD worked but I swapped the internal HDD and reset up etc... But now my games on Fat32 External Load fine but sometimes will blackscreen then give plug wire into controller and press ps Button and then will say something about the system being corrupt but this started happening on my TDU2 but I know game works fine but then games that are on the internal also after a while started doing this and it's very hit and miss that the error occurs?

1 more thing I want to ask and yes it's a little off topic but is there a way to get Dualsense fully working as it works on BT but PS button doesn't work and no vibration and tbh I'm fine about the no vibration but having triggers is nice

Truly sorry if I don't make sense
