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

[Berion]

I installed Evilnat CFW 4.93 (2026-03-31) and dumped meta loader. It seems different than one I dumped via metldrpwn on Linux in 3.55 times. I.e, what starts from 0x0 in that file, it starts from 0xC6B0 in current dump. Does it means metldrpwn didn't extract whole loader from SPE while stage1 does?

Where can I find information on how to create a noFSM patch? I understand it's a modified CORE_OS_PACKAGE. But how do I modify it? There's no patch for the current version 4.93 yet, so I'm curious.

@bguerville has been waiting for one so we can test toolset updates. Was trying to get a hold of @Evilnat , @littlebalup I was told cannot make one at this time. @Joonie also maybe knows how to make one

That's exactly why I wanted to understand this technology, because the nofsm patch is designed not only for software firmware but also for hardware. It's important to be on the safe side in case people aren't available.

A quick analysis of patch 4.92 showed that some files were taken from cfw, some from ofw, and two files were patched.

Never understand why it even called Nofsm in the first place.

All you need to do to install CFW is patch isoldr and iso module to bypass pup check.

Which is always done on CFW or MFW builder.

So you just take CoreOS directly from CFW and flash it. dev_flash doesn't matter.

I think Joonie hasn't been around for at least a year. I guess it's either Evilnat or we'll have to learn.

Hey friends, I have a question, I started playing ff8 for the ps1 on the ps3, but I noticed something, I thought the widescreen was built into the PS1 Emu or Netemu, is that true?

If so, the problem is when I set it to full screen for the game, the whole game changes with that means the objects and example inputs are shifted and it's kind of buggy, but if I set the picture to normal, then it's completely normal again, has anyone noticed it yet, can someone walk through the Balamb garden at the beginning?

Do I understand the options correctly?

I'm thinking of Installing the latest version of Irisman as well as 4.93 Evilnat CFW via USB, but I don't know which to put in first, or if I should put both in at the same instance. What is the best course of action?

doesn't matter just put both in the usb device, it won't cause any conflict
put 4.93 cfw inside PS3 > UPDATE.
Irisman you can put in the root of the device.
If you already have a cfw installed in your ps3 you can install Irisman before or after you install the latest Evilnat CFW.

Any news about 4.93.2 ??

 

[Swordlend]

I don't use Webman on my Slim console, and even though I've selected Syscon for the fan settings, the fan speed gradually reaches 50% during every PS3 game. I replaced the thermal paste last year. Could this be related to the EvilNAT version?

 

[locarno]

You probably did something wrong with paste

 

[shnyaps]

@Evilnat I'm not sure is it a problem wih cfw 4.93 or not. Sometimes my xmb has stutters, it feels like 15fps. Webman mod show 60, but...
I have such issue on 4.93: cecha/cechb models, ssd, hdd, 90nm rsx, frankie: sony/custom. In games it feels the same. Did you get such problem?

 

[Swordlend]

Is it about the thermal paste part? I did this a year ago and there were no problems at first, but this problem started to occur months later.

The overclock with txt didn't work for me idk why I did everything and put it in dev_hdd0 root but still get the same freq


I got the same problem I was using 700/900 on the last update now it causes artifacts on the xmp and froze my system right after the startup once

Update on this Issue: I installed the new 4.93 update and the issue is still there when using cfw tools or the txt file for OC but If I use mfw builder all the instability is gone

Download my txt file from my Github repo, and modify only the digits, nothing else
