PS3 4.81 STARBUCKS (+ COBRA 7.50) v1.02 CFW by habib

Following the release of 4.81 Starbucks v1.00 & v1.01 & his recent work with Fake Save Date/Game Quit Popups for REBUG CFW, developer HABIB has now turned his attention to COBRA once again and thus released a new version (v1.02) of his "Starbucks" firmware with an updated COBRA (v7.50) payload that of course comes with some new features included. The dev has included a new feature in the CFW that does not require the use of lv2 peek and other methods to get your console IDPS & also applied some patches that were once exclusive to MLT 's Firmwares. Cobra v7.50 adds some new functionality by adding PS2 ISO that are decryptted "Config Support", Backwards comparable console now will be allowed to use "ps2 netemu with cobra opcode 0x1ee9", Plus some additional PS2 changes for BC and Semi BC consoles.

Another interesting change includes will make updating to applications to work with Cobra easier as "modules can be updated, no more hash update needed", which should save developer's some time when supporting the payload. Additional details can be found below in HABIB's release quote

be thankful that it's using ps2netemu.self. the original version was called ps2softemu.self, and a lot of ps2 games were virtually unplayable due to framerate issues. that emu was being worked on as far back to at least 2.76 ofw (have it on my computer). u could use it with cobra 3.55 on a non-bc system, but as I said, games were a mess.
 
I am playing pes 2009 ps2, but it runs slowely on ps2netemu.self.
Is there any config-codes, or any changing on refug-toolbox that I can do to optimize the speed and the performance off this game. Thanks.

On a non BC console, the only way to improve a game's performance is to use a ps2config file if one exists for the game. No Toolbox tweaks.

Use the latest Managunz, it stores all the ps2config files we possess, if there is one for your game it will be there.

Another way would be to check on psdevwiki, in ps2netemu section there's a table with all the games for which there is a known config file. You can create the file manually & use it with your backup manager.

There is on rebug Toolbox something called Sets the GameOS boot flag, it helps me in many ps2 games to improve the performance. Can anyone work on this to make it more better. please.

Is there any way to make this automaticly on webman when you chose any ps2 game.
Thanks.
 
The GameOS Boot flag is not a performance improvement feature.
It's only a flag to toggle if you have problems after using the OtherOS mode (ie Linux).

From the rebug.me website:
SET GAMEOS BOOT FLAG:
Sets the GameOS boot flag. Use this if your PS3 is having trouble booting PS2 titles after running OtherOS or is accidently sending you back to OtherOS when trying to enter recovery mode.

Like other backup managers, webman does not support the toggling of this flag although the source of the Toolbox is available so anyone could create a new webman web command reusing the Toolbox code for this feature..

Hi guys,
@habib excuse the question, you're working on 4.82 CFW, I'm waiting for your CFW 4.82 before updating. I'm still on your 4.81.2 :)

Thank you very much and excuse me again for the question, I know you have not got time lately
 
I wouldn't wait for a habib 4.82. It appears he is only releasing habib firmwares when he has new features to release. Since he's on the REBUG team, i'd recommend checking out REBUG firmware. I went from habib to REBUG.
 
I preferd the Habib CFW Starbuck because it is light and faster than the Rebug :), I do not use the integrated functions

Rebug is also a very good CFW but it is slower because of the many functions, prefer CFW Habib Starbucks because it is light as an OFW :)
