PS3 BETA v0.3 - 4.75 HABIB (COBRA v7.10)

Here comes a BETA RELEASE of 4.75 HABIB (COBRA v7.10) CFW (v0.3), Fellow CFW developer Joonie played a big assist in the release of this COBRA CFW by porting COBRA 7.10 to HABIB's firmware. This is labeled as a beta release (by HABIB) as there is a couple of bugs that need to be addressed and both developer's HABIB and Joonie are on separate vacations currently. So,[break]ss[/break] the developer's will not have time to address these minor bugs until they get back from thier respective trips, thus they decided on this public BETA release (that has been tested but poses a few bugs outlined below). View all the details from Habib nnouncement below:

​

BETA --- 4.75 HABIB (COBRA v7.10) v0.3
​

---

These beta have been taking place by joonie for a while, we thought to make this public beta since we both dont have pc access and we both are on holiday trips as well(what a coincidence).

Known bugs:

1. psx region bug(it might be fixed in v1.00 but we dont have pc access atm)
2. syscall 11 sc_ctrl is disabled(will be available in v1.00)
​

Now don't act selfish if you get these minor bugs which otherwise would've been ignored!p)

Bug Fixed since last habib 4.70 v1.03:

1. minor bug which enabled ps2 iso launcher on semi-bc and bc ps3 causing iso loading if ps2 iso is mounted and you are trying to play a ps2 classic/iso launcher(it could be counted as feature but...meh....)
​

HOW TO CHECK IF YOU NEED PS2 ISO LAUNCHER OR NOT:

• Fat models namly cecha/b/c/e they dont need iso launcher for ps2 and they can run from disc icon without losing controller sync, for others they need ps2 iso launcher and tut can be found here PS2 ISO LAUNCHER 1.03 FOR HABIB COBRA 4.70 V1.02/3 - YouTube

P.S: i'm still not working physically, this release has seen the light of the day because of @Joonie and i might kick in soon in a month or something...

Change notes in V3 since the sample V2.
1. fixed the issue with ps2netemu working properly on BC consoles and Semi BC consoles, however
do not use ps2 classic launcher with mounted ISO as it will make issues on BC Consoles/Semi BC consoles.

Non-BC console users can ignore this as this does not affect the result.
​

2. Removed the unnecessary original ps2_netemu.self.swap for swapping as this is not needed anymore due to the change no.1
3. mysis's game_ext_plugin patch added to ignore SFO check for remote play

*Make Remote Play SFO Flag obsolete
http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Patches#Make_Remote_Play_SFO_Flag_obsolete
​

4. Changed image version to 99999 to fix the issue with PUP installation on XMB
For some reason, it was impossible to install this CFW over previous HABIB 4.75 on BC/Semi-BC consoles
Changing the image version fixed the problem.

Change notes in V2 since the sample V1.
1. fixed the issue with pspiso playback due to missing hash checks for HABIB/FERROX in COBRA source
2. fixed the issue with category xml by replacing it with old one that was used in HABIB 4.70 COBRA 1.01
3. added debug payload for devs [dev_flash/sys/stage2.bin.debug], if you want to use this payload simply replace it with stage2.bin
otherwise stage1 inside lv2kernel won't mount the payload on boot.
4. disabled epilepsy message on boot, so it boots up faster

hey! everything is working good, but sometimes i think, that my ROM is gonna explode... CECH2003A version

Reset your fan settings in webMAN or whatever you use. It's not gonna hurt your system only keep it cooler. I run my fan at 45% all the time and keeps it under 55 degrees Celsius.

not really helped, its still working louder then before on 4.70. when v.1.0(4.75 cobra) will be released?

Currently uploading noWEBMAN version of this CFW, this will fix your issue no worries

here is the change log

Change note

Changes in this release since V3 sample version.

-webMAN is removed for the public beta release [Originally included in V3 sample for private testing]
If you'd like to remove "webMAN GAME" in XMB if that's still shown, look for the fb.xml located in this path "/dev_hdd0/xmlhost/game_plugin/fb.xml"
Delete the fb.xml completely remove "webMAN GAME"

However, you can easily install webMAN with webMAN 1.41.01 installer pkg.

Let me explain a few things about this release, many people may get paranoid by the naming "BETA"
but this CFW has actually been tested more than enough just like any other official CFW releases.

And it has the same features provided in HABIB 4.70 COBRA 1.03 version as well plus a bug fix.

Sample V3 was just built for my personal preference, I understand many people still are not familiar with webMAN MOD features, it would've been much better if it wasn't included, but there you go now there is one without webMAN here.

By the way, if anyone has an issue with PSP playback, please remove vshmenu plugin, from my test result it caused a blackscreen when trying to launch games, I think this was reported for 4.70 cobra release also.

[MENTION=20]habib[/MENTION] 's official 1.0 will be released when he comes back from his vacation, until then so long.

thats great! thank you!) all working good

 

It's funny, still, starting from rebug to current habib is really funny that people want cobra firmware and then don't even using webman. [MENTION=12287]chesbenning[/MENTION] do you know that untick "enabe dynamic fan control" do same thing about noise in your PS3 like this new firmware?

until 4.75 always used multiman, dont need to explore some modes etc. working? so dont need to do something

 

What's the point of wanting a Cobra firmware if your just gonna use standard CFW options? Really don't get what users want sometimes. If that is all one wants just use a standard CFW with Mamaba and you had what you wanted ages ago as Mamba isn't firmware dependant and does all you ask and more.

 

The reason is simple, people like me do not use Webman, the reason is that Webman and core can not work together and prefer a thousand times the SM core

 

hi, flashed the non WebMan version to my Slim 2503a and when I try to use ISO's from my network via multiman I get this..

This operation is not allowed.

ISO TYPE: 32
ISO PATH (I): [/net_host0/PS3ISO/game.ISO]
ISO PATH (O): [/net_host0/PS3ISO/game.ISO]
ISO SEGS: 1

ERROR: 80011905 (UNKNOWN ERROR)

 

Wasn't a question why they don't use webMAN for one. It's why do people want a Cobra specific firmware when you can use a vannilla CFW and Mamba and get the same results they are looking for but whine till Cobra comes out.

 

I use some of the great features of cobra mixed in with the CFW and see why people love it.

In all honesty you can still get most of the cobra features on a non cobra CFW by using mamba/PRX loader anyway so I dont understand why these people still want cobra cfw.

Did that happen on webMAN edition too? And also, was it a ps3 rip you tested? I'd appreciate if you be specific.

The only feature you "lose" is PS2/PSP ISO support and PS2 has been added as well just not publically. Everything else works as-is with Mamba autoloader.

sorry but what exactly is that? i'm surprised i never heard of it

It's just that estwald's system manager doesn't work with webMAN.. ;; People over @EOL forum prefer estwald's Core+SM for its fan controlling feature. webMAN's fancontroller may seem too "aggressive" for them also, good thing about SM is that it works after all the syscalls are disabled

so I could imagine some people prefer SM over webMAN

then it's a plugin like webman? and yeah the fan cooling with webman is too agressive when in dynamic mode always goes to nearly 100% speed and there is no way of tweaking the temperature limits and speeds like in irisman. So I force manual mode @ 35% ~ 40% max speed

 

The only feature you "lose" is PS2/PSP ISO support and PS2 has been added as well just not publically. Everything else works as-is with Mamba autoloader.

Ye thats my point with standard CFW with Mamba/PRX loader you get majority of features that cobra CFW offers minus PSP and PS2 ISO support.

So for those who hate cobra for whatever reason or dont want to go to cobra CFW they can still get cobra functionality on their standard CFW through Mamba/PRX loader.

 

Alot of users don't care to educate themselves. Like the ones that pretty much try to demand Rebug without Cobra. It is just that until you enable that feature.

It's sad so many complain about this as they were the ones that were upset we didn't have a Rebug after 4.46 which isn't really needed. I still rock 4.21 with no issues except I don't have my DS4 support, the only useful feature Sony has added since the 4.xx firmware to the official builds.

Tools exist that make updating worthless. They patch eboot/sprx files for higher firmware games. I actually lost more on higher firmwares like CU3 support and gimped PS2 ISO support.

And tools exist to make your own CFW before most devs can and add Cobra features since Mamba is no longer firmware dependant.

 

Did that happen on webMAN edition too? And also, was it a ps3 rip you tested? I'd appreciate if you be specific.

Didn't test it in WebMan edition as the fan noise was driving me crazy, lol, the ISO's were created from actual discs using geniso iirc, was ages ago when I did it. and I use ps3netsrv on the PC, oh and 1 more thing, the fans are constantly set to minimum with the non webman edition, had to remove the fb.xml file, seemed to fix it..

Edit:

downgraded back to 4.70 Cobra edition, ISO's work fine again..
