PS3 For me and my friend PS2 Classics doesn't launch.

[sestain]

I and my friend updated Cobra to 8.3 on Rebug 4.84.2 DEX and noticed that PS2 Classics doesn't run anymore and resulting in a black screen. Controller doesn't connect unless connected with USB and when the power button is pressed then it goes back to XMB.
Both of us have Cobra 8.3 from Github (For 4.84 rebug rex) and the same Rebug 4.84.2 DEX CFW.
My PS3 model is CECH-2504A (Date code 0C) and his PS3 model is CECHG-04 (Date code 7D).
I know that PS2 Classics have worked before because I have a legit PS2 Classics game from PS Store and even after reinstalling CFW they still don't work.
I know that I could use .ISOs and webman but I just want to know why PS2 Classics stopped working after updating cobra to 8.3 and still not working after reinstalling CFW.
-----
Firmware: 4.84.2 Rebug D-REX in DEX mode.
Modded by using the web browser flasher.
Tested 2 different consoles with NOR and NAND flash (same issue).
Issues were noticed after updating cobra and still remained after reinstalling CFW which revert cobra update too (I know PS2 Classics worked before updating cobra but not sure if they worked in 4.84.2 DEX).
Have tried different settings, restarted the console, removed xRegister.sys, and even disabled cobra but still not working.
I'm pretty sure changes in the network should not do anything differently but include it here because of the notice.
I don't have any logs included because this is a PS2 Classics issue that I have.

1. You need at least one PSN account activated (or a fake act.dat)
You can use reActPSN to activate a fake account.
Apollo Save Tool also has an option to activate a fake account, but I haven't tried it.

2. You need the rif (right information file) installed for your game.
Use Apollo Save Tool or reActPSN to activate he game from a rap file.

3. The legit PS2 Classics from the store do not work with the PS2 Classics Launcher.
They must be installed as PKG and launched from the icon created on XMB.
The reason is that they are signed with a different content ID and klicensee.

4. If the .BIN.ENC are signed for CEX, try switching to CEX.

1. I have my main PSN account activated on the console and my friend has used reActPSN to activate a fake account.

2. I have the original rif and rap file.

3. I have had it as an icon in XMB since like 2013 or something like that (I don't remember anymore because I deleted it and going to reinstall it - I have a physical copy of the game but it's scratched and unreadable).

4. I haven't tried CEX yet so I will try that now. (I think this is the reason most likely but let's see.)

Okay, I switched to CEX from DEX and the game started working just fine (My friend tried this too and it worked for him.). Just asking should I do the .BIN.ENC for DEX (if it's possible)?

You can try it. You have to convert your games again.
There is an option in PS2 Classics GUI to convert games for DEX:

I didn't get it working with Target DEX but it's not that big of a deal because I mainly play my PS2 games on my PS2 FAT 50004.
But good to know what caused the issue with PS2 Classics and I can always use webman to mount .ISOs ofc.
I don't need help anymore so thanks @aldostools for helping with this issue.

I think that Joonie once mentioned that even though we have the ps2classic DEX keys, it never worked and remains a "bug" if you're on DEX... I can't recall the details, but it seems that the ps2 emulator doesn't behave as expected in dex... (in Apollo I just forced the conversion to CEX and removed any option because of that)

On CFW cant we just normally mount the iso and play it, it may work on dex as well ???
Like CEX just mount the iso and play cant this be done on dex also ???


Also the only need to convert to ps2classics is for no cfw consoles and anyways those consoles are on CEX only

If i have a cecha then the game would work on dex as well without any problem, Right ???
As it doesnt use emulator to play ps2 games ???
