CFW Rebug 4.80.1 Cobra 7.30 REX & D-REX

Posted by ConsoleHacks on jun 7, 2016 in PlayStation 3 Nieuws | 0 comments

Rebug CFW wordt door velen als dé ultieme custom firmware beschouwd en is vanaf deze week ook beschikbaar bij ConsoleHacks. Deze firmware combineert alle denkbare features zoals de package manager, WebMAN (ISO support) en andere Cobra features. De Rebug Toolbox is natuurlijk ook weer aanwezig o.a. voor het activeren van spoofs en de Cobra functies. In CEX mode (default) heb je daarnaast ook gewoon alle functies die een originele PS3 heeft. De REX editie is bestemd voor CEX (retail) PS3's en D-REX voor DEX geconverteerde PS3's.

Backup Managers

De bekende backup managers zoals MultiMAN, Irisman en Gamesonic manger kunnen met deze Rebug versie overweg waardoor je gewoon op de oude vertrouwde manier je backups kunt blijven spelen. Maar wil je wat gaan experimenteren dan schakel je via de Rebug toolbox de Cobra features in. MultiMAN schakelt mee en verandert in CobraMAN en daarmee heeft het naast alle bestaande opties ook de mogelijkheid om PS2 (alleen interne HDD) en PS3 ISO's te laden.

WebMAN

wordt samen met de Cobra features geactiveerd via de Rebug toolbox en heeft als voordeel dat games veel sneller laden. Zowel ISO's en het standaard game formaat (folder structuur) worden hiermee ondersteund vanaf interne en externe schijf. Daarnaast kan WebMAN ook gebruikt worden voor het streamen van games vanaf een PC of NAS. Met WebMAN kun je echter geen originele games kopiëren naar interne of externe schijf, hiervoor gebruik je nog steeds MultiMAN. Met de WebMAN updater kun je dit programma up2date houden.

Dit is een kort overzicht wat er allemaal mogelijk is maar geeft hopelijk wel een goed beeld van wat je kunt verwachten. Ben je nieuw op dit gebied dan is het verstandig om voor een minder uitgebreide firmware te kiezen zoals CEX Ferrox 4.75. Deze heeft geen Cobra features maar kan wel gebruikt worden voor het afspelen van je backups, draaien van mod-menus, installeren van homebrew via “Install Package” of het modden van games met CCAPI.

INCLUDED

• Rebug Toolbox 02.02.10
  (Install included Rebug Toolbox or higher for full compatibility)

Rebug Toolbox is application designed to complete the full function of REBUG REX EDITION firmwares. Besides from performing the CEX/DEX EID0 and LV2 Kernel Swapping it is also an FTP server and is packed with a bunch of other useful tools.

 

INSTALL:
1: In the PS3 XMB go to Game menu
2: Select Package Manager
3: Select Install Package Files
4: Select PS3 Hard Disk
5: Select REBUG-TOOLBOX-02.xx.xx.pkg

 

PACKAGE MANAGER

Package Manager is a replacement for the standard Install Package Files option under Game in the XMB. It allows for the install and deletion of .pkg files from dev_hdd0/packages, dev_usb/packages and the standard Install Package Files locations. In addition to this, your downloaded PSN content ‘bubbles’ will appear under this option instead of cluttering your Game menu with uninstalled content.

USAGE:
Navigate to Game in your XMB and click on Package Manager (It will be where Install Package Files usually is). You will find three options.

PlayStation®Network Content
Manage your downloaded PlayStation®Network Content.

Install Package Files
INSTALL package files from Storage Devices and your PS3.

PS3 Hard Disk (dev_hdd0/packages)
Package Folder (dev_usb/packages)
Standard Package Location (Standard Install Package Files locations)

NOTE: The Install All Packages is only available by pressing the TRIANGLE button when the Standard Package Location option is highlighted because the PS3 will only install ALL packages from the root of a storage device as of the moment.

Delete Package Files
DELETE package files from Storage Devices and your PS3.

PS3 Hard Disk (dev_hdd0/packages)
Package Folder (dev_usb/packages)
Standard Package Location (Standard Install Package Files locations)

DELETING FILES:
1: Highlight the file you would like to delete and press TRIANGLE. The sidebar should appear.
2: Press CROSS on either Unlink or Unlink(Folder) (Both do the same thing for now).

 

_{COBRA 7.3}

Cobra 6.0 and lower was CobraUSB and needed a USB dongle to use its unique features,. This was the first product by the Cobra Team who is now behind the CobraODE. After the Cobra Team launched the first ODE device, Community News Writer STLcardsWS inquired about the future of the CobraUSB device as it seemed to be shelved (unofficially at the time). STLcardsWS according to the Cobra Team Representative Magneto asked if the device could be made open source for the community, since the team had all but moved onto ODE products. That is when Team Cobra gave in and threw a bone to the PS3 Homebrew Community. Shortly, after that time is when we seen the first official source code release of CobraUSB (link of this story). While this proved to be a huge advancement in the PS3 development community it however was a rough release as it contained all the USB security source code also. While developer’s like u$er was able to use parts and makes sense of some of the functions (which helped create PRX Loader, the first plugin system for the PS3)., most developer struggled with the source as it had alot of unnecessary parts included to protect the USB device when the Cobra Devs wanted to keep this system closed sourced. .

Several weeks later, the Lead CobraUSB developer (who was not aware of the first release when it happened) released the first Dongle-Less Cobra CFW using Rogero’s 4.46 CFW as a base. The developer also updated Cobra 6.0 to Cobra 7.3 with new features and cleaned the source removing all the security garbage (link to this story). Thus making it a complete release with full instructions and details for scene developers. Since that time we have seen its evolve and added to many CFW’s. Below you can view some of the features that are built into Cobra System with some additional explanations.

Cobra 7.30 PS2 Features
PlayStation 2 on NON-BC Consoles:

 

Software (SW) Emulation

Support for

PS2 ISOs

in non BC consoles was removed in Cobra 4.30 (usb), due tops2_softemu missing. It has been re-enabled now by hacking of ps2_netemu. You can use it in the same way as before, just load an ISO and launch from disc icon, Cobra core takes care of rest. No need for encrypted isos, isos patched with limg sectors, etc. Just your normal PS2 isos dumped from discs. However, there is no support for optical discs in ps2_netemu.

Note 1:

Don’t forget to set the memory cards in XMB, in the old memory card utility for PS/PS2, as ps2_netemu won’t let you assign them in game.

Note 2:

Please use PS2 ISO / Classic Launcher (non-BC only for wireless sync issue) method to fix the issue with wireless pad sync issue. RAP activation via reactPSN is required

PlayStation 2 on BC Consoles:

 

Hardware (HW) Emulation

PS3 Models: CECHA, CECHB, CECHC and CECHE Backwards Compatible (BC) Consoles

will still use their respetive emulators

(ps2_emu, ps2_gxemu)

, which have much better compatibility and also support optical discs, original or backup.

COBRA MODE

COBRA mode / webMAN currently disabled by default, if you want to use Cobra 7.1 features, please enable Cobra mode via REBUG TOOLBOX. Previous Cobra CFW users may experience issues with some games due to improved cobra payload that has updated permission patch, in this case. ***Remove old game data and re-install the game, possibly save game data as well if you run into weird issues. Previous Cobra payload still had its old patches that were used for USB Dongle and mmCM, but not anymore, and this fixes the issue with all non-working games with Cobra. non-Cobra users will not have this problem since their data were not corrupted by old cobra payload.

Modding tool CCAPI voor CFW CEX en DEX 4.80

Posted by ConsoleHacks on jun 7, 2016 in PlayStation 3 Nieuws | 0 comments

Deze update is onlangs uitgekomen.

Dit is de laatste versie en geschikt voor CEX & DEX cfw's t/m 4.80 

CFW Ferrox 4.80 v1.00 CEX

Posted by ConsoleHacks on mei 6, 2016 in PlayStation 3 Nieuws | 0 comments

Ferrox 4.80 is de eerste CEX cfw die verschijnt na de Sony 4.80 update. Het is een basic versie gebaseerd op de officiële 4.80 met de gebruikelijke patches en features die we gewend zijn van een standaard cfw. Het is inmiddels goed getest, werkt stabiel en kan nu ook gebruikt worden voor installatie.

Het grote voordeel is dat je hiermee direkt online kunt (i.c.m. SENEnabler/PSNPatch) en verder geen spoofer hoeft te gebruiken zoals bij oudere cfw's het geval is.

MultiMAN 4.80 CEX

Posted by ConsoleHacks on mei 6, 2016 in PlayStation 3 Nieuws | 0 comments

Een nieuwe update van MultiMAN (base) is onlangs uitgekomen en kan gebruikt worden voor de laatste 4.80 CEX  CFW's.

Nieuwe features zijn er niet toegevoegd maar is ook overbodig met deze uitgebreide manager.

Staat MultiMAN al op de PS3, dan kun je het ook vanuit het programma zelf updaten

note: updaten is niet noodzakelijk als de ps3 op oudere cfw onder de 4.80 draait.
