@Omage

I Would suggest, NO do not release. Unless you have been living under a rock for the past six years, Then you know Habib and rebug will release when they are ready, they do not need you to release for them.

EDit : Also you never know what updates may have been made to the src, So it is always best to wait for an official release.

 

thanks habib

so Cobra 7.3 is done thanks [MENTION=20]habib[/MENTION] and [MENTION=22901]mysis[/MENTION]

Scene Devs at least add new features and eliminate bugs on PS3 soni add bugs and downgrade ... how ironical

 

Wow, nothing but greatness from the amazingly talented devs!

Sony have gotten bugger all of my money since ditching otheros. Nothing but 2nd hand games from now on. Hell I've even switch to Samsung TVs....
OtherOS was THE ONLY reason I even bought a PS3 at the time.... Needed a cheap computer and playing games was a neat bonus.

I still got the boy a PS4 though... couldn't have him being bullied at school for having an xbone!
Hopefully they're selling the console at a loss. :P

 

You have to thank [MENTION=20]habib[/MENTION] ,not me. I did not do anything at all to this..

 

Thanks to all devs on this project and very happy to see [MENTION=20]habib[/MENTION] back to deliver this newest CFW
I Have a question:
I use psnplugin (psnpatch.sprx) on startup, very usefull for my san that some times forget to clean syscalls before to connect on PSN
It seems to be only compatible with REBUG CFW on REBUG sytem mod I believe ??? Does this firmware cut connection to PSN if I put the line in boot_plugins.txt manually ?
I need to know it before decide to upgrading to 4.78 Starbucks

Thanks in advance for your response

I am pretty sure he is asking if [MENTION=20]habib[/MENTION] can release the source? So [MENTION=1840]Omage[/MENTION] can compile a DEX build. :dontknow:

It seems to be working fine for me on habibs 4.78. Done a fresh install of it over OFW 3.15, installed webman, modman and psnpatch and everything has been working flawlessly.

I haven't actually tested it's blocking the connection though. Still in the process of copying all my stuff back over. Plugin seems to load / unload just fine from what I can see and it has never been a problem in previous versions of habib's or ferrox's firmwares.

I can't believe how good this firmware is though, seriously... PS2 games just "work". It's ******* awesome. My system was a right nightmare to get the controller to sync on previous firmwares. (CECHLXX, It hates everything and everyone)

As much as I love rebug, it just changes far more then I'll ever need so this is perfect for me. Clean, simple perfection.

PS. Habib: I think I love you. :P

edit: With how well this firmware is working for me, I don't feel so bad about having a dead CECHA01 sitting in front of it.
Was a perfect untouched system with next to no use until I attacked it with a soldering iron lol

 

I am pretty sure he is asking if [MENTION=20]habib[/MENTION] can release the source? So [MENTION=1840]Omage[/MENTION] can compile a DEX build. :dontknow:

Despite the broken english, that was pretty hard to interpret any other way!
Not sure what pissed the doctor off lol.

By the way this firmware is brilliant. PS2 games work and sync no dramas even on my CECHLXX.
If only there was a way to have an otheros partition and not get forced to format when checking the file system after a crash it would be near perfection.

 

Only two things I can think of I would still like to see is FTP speeds back to 3.55/4.21 speeds and one no one but me cares for CU3 dongle to work again above 4.21. The other one is the ability to choose partition size for OtherOS but MFW Builder mod by haxxxen already allows for that. I am sure Habib, Team Rebug and others will have more for us that I have not ever thought of like built-in VSH menu like a psuedo-PSP style. Would be awesome to easily enable and disable plugins

 

no one but me cares for CU3 dongle to work again above 4.21

i care. looks like nobody is workin on a fix though

 

I copy past this from auther thread named "4.78 Starbucks + COBRA v7.30" and hope to have a response to decide or not upgrading
I don't see the reason to have 2 threads ??? I compare it's the same !!! Same features and same MD5, same CFW infact

Habib,
thank you for this amazing CFW .

with me here cfw rebug 4.76 dex and cex, cobra enabled and so the pugin allowed rebug I go online without clear history on and off siscalls, but in habib cobraa 4.76 works perfect

 

hanks a lot for this release man, but i still wait for rebug with cobra (it doesn't really affect me much because i have a fully bc console )

 

tested guilty gear x and metal slug 4 from ps2iso using webman mod 1.43.26 and indeed sync works fine. many thanks habib and mysis

 

no one but me cares for CU3 dongle to work again above 4.21.

Artemis doesn't do what the CU3 does, what"s different?
