4.93 EVILNAT (Cobra 8.5)

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

@Evilnat @Berion @GuilloteTesla @LuanTeles

The FTP on the PS3 is limited to 100MB/s? i connected both PC and PS3 on the 1 Gbps network here on my house and filezilla keeps uploading at maximum 10 Mb/s... Someone knows why this happens?

There are many factors that affect FTP speed:
- FTP client/server used
- Network connection: direct connection to PC, router, switch, wireless, etc.
- Direction of the transfer: PS3 to PC or PC to PS3
- PS3 Firmware version (it seems PC to PS3 was capped after 4.21)
- Number of files
- PC hardware configuration
- etc.

Here is an old thread where the subject was discussed
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/discussion-research-ftp-speed-changes-between-firmwares.3040/

NOTE: webMAN MOD is not the fastest FTP server, but is the most convenient due it can be running all the time.

Also, If you transfer data from and with the internal storage, the SATA generation is 1.5 so the maximum rate speed is between 125 - 150 Mb/s (in bits), which is worth 18-19 MB/s (in Bytes).
 
@Evilnat is there a OC varient of Beta15 on the horizon perhaps? Maybe a toggle to turn on/off via CFW settings so no need to reflash cfw, even a CFW updater via internet? Just some thoughts Thank you for what you do provide.

Thx for the info, i managed to upload a file at 15 MB/s on the PS3, also on the next month i will change the HDD for a SSD i purshased a HDD but is too slow on some demands and a brand new HDD of 1TB is impossible to find. I will try to disable the TRIM of the SSD and install on the PS3. The SSD is faster and safe. By deactivating TRIM on the SSD perhaps is safe to use on the ps3.

The PS3's Ethernet NIC is limited to 100Mb/s. Note that Mb/s means megabits, not megabytes, and most FTP clients show speed at megabytes (MB/s). To convert you divide by eight, so 100Mb/s = 12.5MB/s. Given that there's some overheard and some noise over the line and that you can never reach 100% of the theoretical speed, then 10MB/s sounds about right.

No, wrong, the ps3 can support 1 Gbps. The real limitation is the 1.5 SATA generation for the internal storage which is limited to 150 Mb/s, so the maximum rate speed is 19 MB/s for the data transfer.

Check your sources before posting fake informations, you have to just check in network settings in a ps3 or in the manual.

This is not correct either. SATA 1.5 has a theoretical max speed of 1.5 Gbps

See HERE, We have gotten speeds way higher than 19MB/s in the past, so the limitation is definitely not hardware on the SATA side.

Older firmwares used to give us about 30MB/s, then after 4.21 something in COREOS changed.
 
@Evilnat, HIMSE WARNING, IF YOU HAVE THE CURRENT BETA 15 D-PEX DOES NOT CONVERT YOUR CONSOLES TO CEX THAT WILL BRIKE YOUR CONSOLES, MY 2 SLIM CONSOLES ARE BRICT AND MY DECHA00A. CHANGE WARNING TO ALL DOES NOT WITH THE CURRENT BETA 15 D-PEX

"Luckily, nothing happened to mine. I went back and forth many times on BETA 15.

The PS3 is not compatible with SSDs, so it's pointless (and counterproductive) to use them. You will gain more issues than loading speeds.

Also, you can't disable TRIM on an SSD. That's a feature handled at OS level, which the PS3's OS has not implemented on.
 
Hdds 1tb or less are considered small, so it may be difficult to find an internal one that size. I think the one I found was refurbished for about $38 about 4 or 5 years ago. They may be getting a little more expensive now as ones that size get more and more rare. You need one that's 9.5mm, and I think they only make up to 2tb with that height in favor of SSD that size with increasing capacity. Point being hdds like that are becoming rare.

Evilnat -the author of the CFW- has suggested WAITING until he posts a fix. Just because you've been lucky doesn't mean that others will be the same. In other words, avoid to use CEX2DEX conversion for the moment.

That must be what happened to that member we answered regarding being on evilnat 4.91 Dex, then needing nobd or something. I think @esc0rtd3w answered him too. I didn't realize it until esc0rtd3w corrected me about not having to be on cex for nobd, but when the member converted to cex, I think he bricked. Had I known about the bug, I wouldn't have suggested converting.

Edit: I think he was replacing a failing HDD, so had to reinstall firmware on Dex.
 
Helllo guys I installed the new pex 15 beta and convert to cex with switch kernel, because I didn't read his warnings…
If I try to turn on my ps3 it does 5 beeps and shut down. Recovery mode don't work either. hard drive already removed don't work. Anyone can help?

I was talking about the Ethernet connection.
 
I'm assusming the sata hdd is quicker than bluray even if we replaced the drive with a adapter like the gamecube or ps1.

How exactly does the virtual memory card work, can it be read directly off a usb stick or does it always have to be on the stored on the hdd itself?

I tried launching a uLE iso on my ps3 but it just crashes after the ps2 logo, I haven't tried a swapmagic iso to see if it can run homebrew ELFs from the virtual memory card, we'd still be limited by the official 8MB magicgate size or can we go up to 64MB or 128MB?

Ah yes sorry, I made a mistake on the calculations between bytes and bits, so it's because of the limitation of the transfer speed of the hard drive itself and its performance and not the SATA interface, and maybe the performance of the console's CPU.
