It's amazing what is still being done for the PS3. It's also great to see devs working together in unison to tackle problems that seemed lost. Great work to all involved.

 

3.improved optical disc xmb error of data disc, if hangs, reinsert disc(ps2 bc and semibc)(data disc error was present since 4.46)

I hope this solves my data disc issue, nonetheless, a good release as always

 

67 KB/s! Don't everyone all download it at once or anything.

Your timing couldn't be better, Getting right into my psx/ps2 games again and thanks to my hdd being force formatted on me it's a perfect time to try change my setup.
Thanks for the time / effort put into this.

other then this Cobra 7.30 has not been released yet

 

quick question, if i have a semi-BC PS3, would cobra activate for PS2 emulation or even half activate to help out with PS2 emulation at all?

Can release src? I would like compile to DEX

According to the notes of the release, no it wouldn't because it already works without it.

If you didn't see it, it's quoted below.

4.) BC and Semi-BC PS2 works without cobra, no emu swap needed

yeah, i saw it, but was still confused if the the semi-bc PS3 would benefit from the cobra features, maybe emulate better/load faster?

You can't, cobra binary is compatibile only with this firmware. For other cfw recompilation or hashes editing is needed. Also habib using his fork p) of ps2_netemu that you also need.
