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 7.55

What is Cobra 7.XX?

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 7.0 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.

6: Scroll to 2nd column Selector, and select 3rd option Toggle Cobra Mode

7: Select Enable, and system will reboot with Cobra now enabled on the CFW.

Folder rips are NOT compatible with PSNPatch’s stealth mode due to its ability to disable COBRA’s disc-less feature for folder JB rips**** PS3MAPI support, allows you to attach process on both CEX/DEX via its own API app. Backup Protection Removal, Add full PS3 Backup support on all multiMAN/webMAN,IRIS manager forks and Managunz.

*PS2 Support on Internal HDD ONLY: dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/ General Cobra Plugin Information

Support for plugins at boot time :

The number of vsh plugins has been increased from 1 to 7 slots.

Slot 0 is reserved for use for iso plugins (netiso.sprx and rawseciso.sprx).

How to Install a Plugin:

Copy plugin_name.sprx to you internal ps3 hdd (ex: /dev_hdd0/ ).

Create or Edit boot_plugins.txt in the root of the hdd ( /dev_hd00/boot_plugins.txt ) and add a line for the new plugin. Assuming you placed the sprx also in the root of the disk, add: /dev_hdd0/plugin_name.sprx ). Add a new line for each plugin.

Then Reboot PS3 Console!

COBRA 7.55 PS2 Features (4.82 Cobra)

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.

as long as you use the new ps2 launcher. Note 2: Decrypted Config can now be used , place the CONFIG file in the same game path. An example below :

dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/God of WAR2.ISO

dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/God of WAR2.ISO.CONFIG



Decrypted CONFIG files are available via PSDEVWIKI

PlayStation 2 on BC and Semi-BC ConsolesHardware (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.

**IMPORTANT INFORMATION**

COBRA MODE

COBRA mode / webMAN currently disabled by default, if you want to use COBRA 7.55 features, please enable COBRA mode via REBUG TOOLBOX 2.02.16. Users of previous Cobra CFW 4.55 / COBRA7 and below 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 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.

QA SUPPORT

QA is supported in all REBUG FIRMWARE. It is good practice to enable QA for a smoother experience on any CFW not just REBUG.

OTHEROS++ SUPPORT

OtherOS++ is supported by all REBUG REX EDITIONS and will detect your existing OtherOS HDD partition.

However none of the REBUG REX EDITIONS have emer_init.self patched (create smaller GameOS partition). We are working on a solution to this from GameOS.

In the meantime if you do want to create an OtherOS partition you have two options:

1: Use a ANY 3.55 or 4.xx firmware that already has emer_init.self patched to the size you want.

2: Patch REBUG 3.xx , 4.xx REX EDITION in PS3MFW Builder MOD by Haxxxen

The related thread regarding ps3mfwbuilder MOD

with this MFW Builder MOD, you can make your own CFW with the feature that allows you to create regions on vFLASH/NAND for OtherOS installation

If you choose option 2 we highly recommend that you ONLY patch emer_init.self (Make sure to select BASE MFW VERSION and Create OtherOS HDD Region on mfwbuilder).

HOW TO Install & Uninstall REBUG

INSTALL:

From XMB install REBUG 4.21.x AND HIGHER over any 3.55 OFW/CFW/MFW or the same or lower firmware version CFW with spkg sig check patched or any firmware version CFW with spkg sig check patched and QA enabled.

From XMB install REBUG 4.21.x AND HIGHER over 4.82 OFW, Please follow this guide available via PSX-PLACE, Team PS3Xploit recently released a software solution for “hack-able PS3 models excluding CECH-3XXX and 4XXX”.

UNINSTALL:

From XMB REBUG 4.21.x AND HIGHER can be uninstalled with the same or higher firmware version OFW/CFW/MFW or with REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION on a QA enabled PS3 or with the ‘999’ DOWNGRADER if QA was NOT enabled.
