PS3 4.93 Evilnat w/ Cobra v8.5 - (CEX/PEX/D-PEX) 4.93

[Alonso240]

Tried out 4.90 PEX with the latest update to the Flash Writer, working well over here. Thanks for the awesome release

An updated video tutorial is sorely needed

"CFW Evilnat 4.90 Cobra 8.4 [DEX]" : Is it made from original 4.90 DEX ? if yes why do port modules from 4.84 on version D-PEX ? I read the pdf but i think didn't understand.

The pex version allow DEX <-> CEX like rebug ? and CEX / DEX doesnt allow it ?

No. If 4.90 DEX would be available, there would be no need to port DEX 4.84 to 4.89-4.90 D-PEX.

Yeap

PEX = REX
D-PEX = DREX

What a reactivity !
A BIG thank you to Evilnat, Aldostools and to all the others devs that keep the PS3 scene alive !

PEX / D-PEX is like Rebug. It allows CEX <-> DEX through CFW Tools. You need to provide the ERK dump also available from XMB.

CEX is like Rebug Lite (CEX only).

DEX ... I guess it is like D-PEX but without CEX modules. Although I'm not sure.

Ofw 4.90 is not necessary, instead install HFW 4.90.1 from OFW 4.89 (HFW is a modified OFW)

Once on HFW 4.90.1 use the new Flash Writer for 4.90 to jailbreak your console.

Make sure that you make a dump of your flash memory on USB.

Use PyPS3tools checker to verify your flash before to continue, to verify you have a valid backup.

Then the patch flash to allow CFW installation. Dump your flash again to verify it was patched properly.

Install Evilnat 4.90 if the flash process was successful. Do not turn off your console if the process fails. Ask for help in the forum.


DO NOT turn off your console while the flash is written. It can brick your console if the process is interrupted.

Thanks my friend, I was able to do everything and now, my console is ready to install CFW.

Wich one do i choose? there are 4 variants, but it's very confusing.
-pex/cex
-d-pex/dex
-cex
-dex

Think i'm going to cex, i'm not developer neither modder. But want to know if the dev related stuff maybe improve experience in some way. I pretend to use some emulators, playing online my original discs eventually, and try rom hacked/translated ps2/ps1/ps3 games.

For most of the users CEX is enough.

Awesome, thank you very much!!!

I'm having issues with the D-PEX noBD download from MEGA. No issues with the other versions so far. @Evilnat

Personally I choose CEX OC

CEX is your safest option if you're unsure which one to choose

Hey my ftp transfers are extremel slow since using this cfw.how do i fix this?

 

[Evilnat]

Using R2 + Triangle says "Failed to disable CFW syscalls"

Will using X to spoof from PSNPatch be okay for signing in, or is there a way to fix the error message?

Make sure you have the latest version of webMAN MOD. If you want you can use the option [PSN Tools > Disable Syscalls] in xai_plugin

I assume this is a port of Evilnat's awesome 4.89.3 to 4.90 right? Are there any CFW changes?

Yes it has all from 4.89 CFW, I have added some improvement like Toggle PS2 Disc Icon option, fixed Check GPU/VRAM clock speed (it doesn't crash now)...

I feel like Nathan didn't sleep at all since 4.90 came out. Get some sleep man and thanks for your awesome work!

You are right, I haven't slept much these last few days to speed up the launch of the CFW

i cant find information about OVERCLOCKED version.

The overclocked version will overclock the RSX to 600MHz / 750MHz

The pex version allow DEX <-> CEX like rebug ? and CEX / DEX doesnt allow it ?

As they have said @LuanTeles and @aldostools, PEX is like REX and D-PEX is like D-REX in Rebug

Both allow you to go from CEX to DEX and vice versa, you must have the eid_root_key on a USB device or in /dev_hdd0/tmp. The option from xai_plugin [Dump ERK] will dump it on any of those locations

I have disabled the entire CEX2DEX Tools option in CEX and DEX to avoid failures with the kernel

Hey my ftp transfers are extremel slow since using this cfw.how do i fix this?

If your transfer becomes slow try to use another FTP server like webMAN MOD. xai_plugin uses the original openps3ftp

I found something weird. In my installed game list (pkg) it seems to sort capitalized games first from A-Z and then starts anew with the games from a-z. I would much rather have them sorted regardless of a capitalized title or not since for installed packages you can't edit the name.
