@Joonie @habib This is a firmware feature and can't be added to applications, so it will be nice if it is included in the next Cobra revision.
The only changes are in storage_ext.c (which is firmware independent) in functions related to disc authentication/identification.
PS3 games can be burned to regular CD-R, DVD-R SL/DL, BD-R SL/DL, BD-RE
There is no need for game manager (multiMAN/IRIS/etc) or for webMAN/MOD when launching PS3 games from burned discs. The only requirement is that the disc is properly created (unencrypted, from proper ISO or from game folder using genps3iso) - the only check is that at sector 16 (0x10) offset 0x28 there must be a "PS3VOLUME" string.
If anyone wants to test it only on @habib's cex cfw 4.81 v1.02 cobra 7.5 (replace stage2.bin in /dev_blind/sys): http://deanbg.com/cobra_stage2_cex_cfw_habib_481_v102_cobra750.zip
BD-R/RE discs are now much cheaper than 7 years ago, so this feature could be really useful for people who want to backup their collection on optical media and play it at any time without fiddling with usb drives, network streams or ftp. Also it achieves 100% compatibility of all games released to date.

I started feverishly backing up all that I could of my drives/memory cards/sd cards/flash sticks etc. after losing a 360 hdd with over 500 games on it. 
I also lost a ps3 drive a while back, but that's okay. I mainly cared about the 360 one since it contained more games. I have another 360 hdd with about 500-600 xbla games on it. I did back that up as well as the internal hdd which took quite a while since the 360 has slow lan speed. it's much worse than the ps3's. lol
