Which PS3 CFW are you using at the Moment and why?

[ed89]

Like the Title says I am just curios what PS3 CFW the most people are using at the moment and why?

So I make the start...

I use Rebug Rex Cobra 4.65.2 at the moment because it have Cobra, CEX and DEX all in one and you can toggle Cobra and switch to DEX mode "on the fly" yes im not a dev but I am sometimes just curios what you can do in dex mode and I like the other cool features Rebug has to offer...no other CFW provide me so much features!

Nice thread

Personally i have been using REBUG REX 4.65.2

Reasons
- I can enable Cobra Features (via the Rebug ToolBox) (with gives many features, such a network loading, True Split ISO support on fat32, Background loading plugins ect....).
- I can turn on and off features, Making it a simple CFW or turning on options and making it a very advance firmware. (REBUG CFW w/ REBUG TOOLBOX you really have the choice ofanytype of CFW that is out there. So IMO the choice is really simple and honestly i think everyone should be on it.) REBUG REX v4.65.2 really has the ability to do it all. So by far it the premium firmware.
- I can play my PS2 ISO without a controller sync. Which is something i like very much.
- REBUG Toolbox gives the firmware so many features. (that are all optional)

Rebug 4.65.2 just because toolbox functionality, personaly i dont use dex, so every stable cobra firmware is ok. But i like to have every possible functionality even if i never use it.

4.46 Rogero 1.0 + Cobra 7 with some custom mods available on bitsbubba's Cobra CFW Toolbox & brunolee's XMBMODMAN + custom stage2.bin with deank's permissions fixes (KW's version)

Reasons:

- It doesn't have any of the issues found on higher CFW (no controller sync issues, no anti-ODE issues, etc.).
- The higher firmware versions don't offer any new feature that I need (DS4 is interesting but I haven't find any game that require it)
- The app keys are the same from 4.20 to 4.66, so all the game new games work. IRISMAN and webMAN MOD can auto-fix the games (ISO and JB folders).
- Although 4.46 can access PSN using SEN Enabler / psnpatch... I don't access PSN with CFW.
- I don't use cheats or need DEX to use rebug or debuggers. I debug my apps the hard way
- I avoid to update unless there is a really good reason to do it.

Rebug REX 4.65.2

Because:
- Cobra features
- Other-OS support
- DEX debug menu (fake savedata owner, ...)
- Embedded 4.66 spoof
An all in one

Rebug has been more stable for me. Rogero v4.46 + Cobra i was on that for awhile but i had to re-install the firmware every so often.

I would load an app and get a just a XMB Wave. Restart the Console. just a wave. Reinstall CFW all was fine for another month or two. but got annoying especially when you have your custom XMB things. With the controller sync issues resolved (at least on my end) there was no reason not to update for me.

Currently using REBUG REX 4.65.2 [DEX] + COBRA

The reasons are simple.

Both DEX and COBRA provide incredible debugging features.

This is an example socat/ProDG debugger running altogether

"But i like to have every possible functionality even if i never use it."

Yes its my attitude too, "have all features" Im most on CEX/Cobra too but from time to time i try some functions in DEX mode

Nice thread
"I can enable Cobra Features"" I can turn on and off features, Making it a simple CFW or turning on options and making it a very advance firmware."

thanks
-Cobra is cool (many features) and after version 7.03 is released even the problem games like Tom Clancys Splinter Cell Triology HD and Dishonored work now as JB format and some apps that did not work before works too now I see no reason to abandon it anymore

-Rebug Toolbox is Cool too I wrote in an other Tread already turn on--advanced firmware turn of--standard firmware

I even had a practical use of it in the time I was on Habib 4.55 Cobra and a demo refuses to work with Cobra so i switched to Rebug Rex Cobra 4.53.1 (after I downgraded to 3.55 because my PS3 was sadly not qa flagged)
in Cobra mode Demo dont work either toggled Cobra off and what a suprise demo work (because Standard Firmware)
since this time I like this CFW most (Rebug REX Cobra) other choice would be to install a standard CEX CFW but loose Cobra features (which would be like a downgrade for me)

- It doesn't have any of the issues found on higher CFW (no controller sync issues)
- The higher firmware versions don't offer any new feature that I need (DS4 is interesting but I haven't find any game that require it)
- I avoid to update unless there is a really good reason to do it.

If you or anybody have no controller sync issues with PS2 ISOs try to run Point 2 in "Safe Mode" restore factory settings you have to rename your profiles and set your settings new Internet and Account but that fixed no Controller sync issue on Rebug 4.65.2 for me after it dont worked with the introduction of Rebug 4.65.2 release

PS3 Games dont requires DS4 Controller
touchpad and Homebutton dont work on PS3 its only an alternative correct me if Im wrong
I tried DS4 with Playstation Allstars yesterday with a friends controller because I have only Two DS3 Controller and its working great 2x DS3 + 1x DS4 = 3 Player

" I avoid to update unless there is a really good reason to do it." good choice but here are not many reasons anymore (on PS Vita I need to stay on 3.18 too no other choice but thats an other story)

[MENTION=29]Joonie[/MENTION] thanks very interesting...

(I'm sorry for my horrible english and grammar)

ATM I am actually on Kmeaw just because I am using PS3UserCheat to play through Resident Evil 4 & CV as they are a little foggy to me and out of new games to play. That and I don't have a home network to setup up any RTM apps. But usually I am on Rebug 4.65.2 as most normal people.

 

[TheDemon]

I'm on 4.66 HABIB V1.01 COBRA, don't need any special features(maybe the only feature i wanted was the fake owner from REBUG ) and i like to be updated since i don't want to resign updates for lowers cfw even knowing this can be automatically done, just want to install and play.
In the end its not a question of wich one is better, the question is what suits your needs and this one works well for me.

4.46 cobra/rogero cause it works with ease and does everything it can possibly with cobra enabled. i can't remember if there's a cobra disabler, but that's all i would need for that firmware for it to be perfect for me. i can boot my ps2 games, use webman, ISO support, etc. So far, the only downside is i can't use my PS Move wheel for racers.

4.46 Rogero-Cobra with Aldo' WebManmod 1.41.05 all it works fine, 100% BD emu. since my new 1To inside all games works Ps3 ISO/JB Ps2 Iso.bin.enc and Ps1 iso, run it fine on XMB, via sen enabler i can play online.
Mille Merci ^^
