{UPDATE - FEB.16) The new COBRA V7.30 has arrived and its included in Habib's latest cfw release 4.78 STARBUCKS (COBRA), comes equipped with the latest version of COBRA (v7.30). With this latest version of Cobra developer's Habib & Mysis were able to finally eliminate some of the limitation and annoyances in Cobra's PS2emu, such as the controller sync issue when launching PS2ISO from the XMB's disc icon. While habib himself provided a workaround using the PS2 Launcher, this bug has finally been squashed. There was also some other changes in this update to Cobra's PS2emu [break]ss[/break] that should improve the overall experience. Habib firmware comes with his usual patches and features such as OtherOS compatibility & CINAVIA patches, view all the details of this firmware in the release details provided by developer habib.

Thanks also and yes i can see Edy Viewer debug settings and other that means QA is enabled?

Yes yhat mean you are QA flagged, just before update remember to disconnect internet remove disc (if you have any inserted) and unmount game if you have any mounted.

 

Yeap, that means qa is enabled.

Thank you i really appreciate for your help i flashed it right now and works like a charm but i have one more question if you don't mind i went online using PSN NINJA and PSN PATCH tried to play some game and it requiers to install the latest update of the game is it safe to update through the official update?

You won't need psn ninja anymore, just the latest psn patch.
You can install a plugin via psn patch that will automatically block psn access until you hold L2,R2,L3 and R3 which will then unload webman, cobra, disable cfw calls and clear your history in one hit. Very handy indeed. (Still leaves current game mounted so you can play online)
Also, leave the app installed though after installing the plugin.

I've never had any problems updating games directly. Although I do prefer to use multiman as it saves the update packages for later.

edit: also you can update games without being connected to psn, best to do that first, then connect to psn.
Dunno if it makes any difference, but I always prefer to play it safe. (Still no Ban )

 

Hey [MENTION=20]habib[/MENTION] i test onemore time the PSX isos on the internal HDD and change the region to PAL but in some discs solve the problem in sound/music but in the external USB drive i dont find this problem all isos works wonderfully, i use a internal HDD samsung spinpoint 1TB for 2 years with PSX isos on it and never have this inssue with ferrox FW. What can be this problem?



UPDATE 1: I make more tests using Webman Mod and Multiman
FERROX 4.78 = PSX isos on internal and external HDD/Pendrive Works like normal on PSXISO folder using Multiman
HABIB 4.78 = PSX isos on internal HDD sound/music hickups on external PENDRIVE works normal on PSXISO folder using Multman and Webman MOD

UPDATE 2: Download the PSX launcher and same bug in sound/music, but is normal with IRISMAN internal or external source.

UPDATE 3: I install CFW on my original PS3 HDD 160GB (CLEAN INSTALL) and same problem happens with HABIB CFW.

This is an annoying bug For those who would like to use only essential programs to run games of PSX I would only use Webman MOD and the CFW Habib to all my games on the internal HDD.

 

[MENTION=20]habib[/MENTION] Just noticed that the "restart" option in XMB that was implemented in 4.76 is no longer in this 4.78, any reason or did you just forget to add it? No biggie but it's a nice feature.

You can disable cobra
I uploaded cobra toggler a few pages ago, try that to have no cobra experience

I just wanted to keep cfw clean this time

You could install this feature yourself.

Recently i fixed my old fat ps3 that had a YLOD i went from 3.41OFW to 3.55OFW and then to this cfw i wanted to install cfw as fast as i could because i was afraid that YLOD could happen again and i wanted to extract the IDPS, i havent done that QA thing on 3.55 was it important?

 

You can still toggle qa on higher cfw, but if you are not going to use the console and you only wanted the idps and PSID then you don't have to toggle qa

 

Hey guys quick question again
So yea i installed this cfw and it works perfectly how ever i also installed PSN Patch +Plugin and i went online using the combo L2,R2,L3 and R3(disabe cfw and other stuff) how ever by mistake i used multiman..is there a huge chance i am going to get banned now?

Thanks for the answer but the very atractive of your CFW is the fact to emulate isos via cobra tools, so the solution for me is to put a very tiny 64GB pendrive with only PSX isos on it. No more hickups finaly.

QA FLAG is used to de-hash downgraded consoles to stop them bricking when you change firmwares

This is possible as the qa flag makes it possible to go up or down firmware revisions via the recovery menu as it resets the syscon firmware revision check to match the installed system firmware
This stops a mismatch (system panic = software brick)

As you updated your console to 3.55 not downgraded then no you do not need to use qa flag

Yes
Your using cfw on the psn so yes big chance of getting banned
Using psn patch decreases this chance but only slightly

Using common sense decreases it more
Ie don't use game mods
Dont play games that need antiban eboots without them
Don't ask for said antiban here when no one here is called Google

after you put in CFW, and if you disable the QA flag, will anything bad happen?

No nothing would happen but why would anybody want to? I've had all my systems qa flagged at all times ever since it's been available to the scene, it's more of a security than anything

what kind of security would you have if it is on?

 

i have a question, i installed this CFW in a ps3 fat 2.xx ofw, then went to 3.55 asnd finally installed 4.78 habib, but in xmb system settings its say i am in 4.75, in multiman settings ut say i am in 4.78, is it normal? or i did something wrong?, i dont think i have a spoof i checked in webman and in sen enabler.

 

what kind of security would you have if it is on?

the Debug Update setting within QA flag prevents (disables) online updates of the FW from XMB

 

it also prevents the update from disc issue, bitsiboo [MENTION=6]bitsbubba[/MENTION]. I need to ask [MENTION=2]STLcardsWS[/MENTION] to create a lovers' lounge forum just for us
