Savegames conversion tutorial
WARNING: This option will overwrite your current savedata in dev_usbXXX, use it with caution
- Download someone else's savegame for your game of your choice
- Put the savedata in your pendrive in "X:\PS3\SAVEDATA" (pendrive must be in FAT32)
- Put in the pendrive in the PS3
- Select Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > PSN Tools > Convert Savedata
- Wait until the conversion finishes
- Once finished, copy your converted savedata throught XMB "Saved Data Utility (PS3)"
- Launch your game and load your new savedata
.Creation of act.dat tutorial
WARNING: The accountID is linked to savedata and trophies, so, if your current user already have a valid accountID and you overwrite it, you will be unable to use your trophies and savedata on that account until you restore the original accountID in xRegistry.sys.
I recommend to use an empty account without trophies and savedata or an account without accountID.
To create a fake act.dat, Cobra 8.4 must be enabled, and your PS3 must have at least one account with a valid accountID and launch a game that requires a RIF/RAP license file.
Cobra will search a valid accountID in all existing accounts and create act.dat while the game is launched through the XMB. If no accountID is found, act.dat will not be created.
You can create a fake accountID (like reactPSN), to do this go to Network > ★ Custom Firmware Tools > PSN Tools and choose between "Create accountID" or "Overwrite accountID" (Be careful about the last option because if you already have a fake/real accountID it will be overwritten). It is recommended to use these options in an account that does not have an ID. The PS3 will restart if everything went well.
The tutorial would be the following:
- Download your purchased PSN game from PS Store
- Put game RAP file in "X:\exdata" or "/dev_hdd0/exdata"
- Launch your purchased PSN game
- Cobra will check if any of your PS3 accounts have accountID
- Faked act.dat will be created while the game is launching
If none of your accounts have a valid accountID you will need to create it. To do this log into the local PS3 account where you want to create the accountID. You can see if your current local account has an accountID choosing Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > PSN Tools > Show accountID.
To create a faked act.dat do the following:
- Make sure Cobra 8.4 is enabled
- Select Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > PSN Tools > Create accountID
- Select Network Tab > [★ Custom Firmware Tools] > PSN Tools > Activate account
- Launch your purchased PSN game
- Faked act.dat will be created while the game is launching
Now you have a faked act.dat and your local account is activated. The act.dat file works for every local account, you only need one file for all accounts.
.
Block PSN log in
This method is developed by @DeViL303, it will only work with Cobra enabled, Cobra will block log in on PSN/SEN while the CFW syscalls are enabled, to enable it again you need to disable CFW syscalls completely (you can do it with webMAN MOD, psnpatch, SEN Enabler, etc…).
If you want to disable this feature, simply use the option Cobra Tools > Disable PSN Protection and you will be able to log in with syscalls enabled. To enable it again use the option Cobra Tools > Enable PSN Protection
There is some information that need to be aware, are the following:
- The accountID is directly linked to savedatas and trophies data. If you have trophies or savedatas in
your current local account, THEY WILL BE CORRUPTED after setting FAKE accountID. To fix this, copy the
savedata to the root of a USB, convert it and then copy it back through XMB in 'Game' tab. To fix
corruption in trophies you need to delete it/them. Is highly recommended to do this on a local account
without trophies/savedatas
- The FAN speed is constant when in a PS2 game, BE CAREFUL while selecting modes because it will not
change after the PS2 game is loaded. It is also static when choosing a mode in the "Manual Speed"
option. All current speeds in xai_plugin must keeping a correct temperature in CPU and RSX
- Do not rename vsh.self manually and ALWAYS use the option for it in xai_plugin, it can cause that the
PS3 can't load the XMB when you have full version of webMAN MOD, DEX Kernel and CEX vsh.self. The
CFW has a protection to avoid this
- Target Manager will show SDK 4.8.4 while the PS3 is DEX, this is normal and it is because I ported
modules from OFW 4.84 DEX to 4.89, I patched them to work on 4.89 but not to show version 4.8.9
- If you want to install OtherOS on PS3's internal HDD you first need to go to Recovery Menu and select
[Restore PS3 System], this will format the HDD and create a partition for OtherOS. Remember to make
a backup of all your data before
- DON'T TRY TO SWAP KERNEL WHEN YOU HAVE LOADED AN EXTERNAL KERNEL FROM USB/FLASH!!
This can cause brick and you may need a hardware flasher to repair the PS3
- You can unload Cobra/plugins if you have any problem with them, for this you need to go to Recovery
Menu and then reboot the PS3, this will disable both
- It is recommended to ALWAYS activate the QA Flags, it is very important, it allows you to install CFW
from versions prior to the one installed and also avoids issues
- If you can't dump or make an ISO of your game disc in multiMAN, go to mmCM tab and select [Switch
to multiMAN mode], this will reboot multiMAN and now you will be able to dump/make an ISO of your
disc
- OtherOS on PS3 with NAND is very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing (for example using
the wrong image to install petitboot), it can cause brick and the only way to repair it is with a hardware
flasher. PLEASE USE IT WITH CAUTION!
- Make sure you are installing the correct image for OtherOS. xai_plugin tells you what image need to be
installed too. For NAND you need dtbImage.ps3.bin.minimal and for NOR dtbImage.ps3.bin. If the
wrong image is installed, it can brick on NAND, needing a HW flasher to repair it, in NOR you can fix it
formatting the HDD
- If your PS3 has a CFW noBD (in any of its variants) and latest versión of webMAN MOD (1.47.42 at the
time of writing this guide), there are chances that the PS3 can't read an external devices (/dev_usb000,
/dev_usb001, …) in the next two minutes. To fix this, go to webMAN Setup page, click on webMAN
MOD Setup and check noBD patch and reboot the PS3, now it may read external devices
- Enable FTP and Disable FTP can fail randomly, if you want to use any of them wait a few seconds before using any again. It also happens with the option Check GPU/VRAM clock speed, those values are stored in LV1 and sometimes the PS3 doesn't stores it and can fail. If this happen, reboot the PS3 until those values are present in LV1
- In PEX and D-PEX versión some of the debug options pressing triangle are missing because a/some
file/s hasn't been ported yet (needs a lot of research with XMB layouts, I have patched some of them
but others not, for example, trophies entries are messed up), those options are (maybe more):
- ★ Check
- ★ Owner Information
- ★ Cancel Purchase
- ★ Performance Bar
- ★ No Memory Limit
- The CFW is meticulously tested and no bugs have been found, but that does not mean that there are
any or that it fails at any specific time. If that happens, contact me as soon as possible so that I can
solve it.

I tried to update any for CECH 2003B,update stop on 70%.
You only can install this CFW if your console is already on CFW or if it has OFW 3.55 and lower.
If you have OFW 4.85 or lower you should use ps3xploit flash writer to allow CFW installation.
If you're on OFW 4.86 or later, you should wait for bgtoolset or the release of a safe flasher solution.

I think I've only used game_ext_plugin.sprx, coldboot.raf, and all the .ac3 for the 1.0 OFW startup coldboot & gameboot.
custom_render_plugin.rco more or less HD var. of the look does it as well. (I think)
Here are all the files I've been using other than the .ac3 files as they are too big to upload here.
I think I got most of the files from: www.psx-place.com/threads/attempt-restoring-xmb-ui-of-firmware-1-00-2-70-to-4-84.26076

I will do it mate
game_ext_plugin.sprx from other version than 4.89 without being patched will break XMB layout, I didn't check custom_render_plugin.rco but maybe breaks it too
vash32
Member
Yeah, I've been using both at the same time so it may just be the game_ext_plugin.sprx as it does the same thing on ones that I don't use the custom_render_plugin.rco
Looks like the update screen is the only break in XMB layout. Not sure how to fix it myself but if it can't be done it's not too big of a problem for me. Thanks for looking into it.

Finally got a chance to format and reinstall from scratch again. Thank you @Evilnat libcrypt titles now work from ntfs0 but it's still failing from hdd0 , I've only been testing Dino Crisis as that's the one I reported and it's first LC challenge response is early in the game . I've tested with two different hard drives both have been formatted and set up with nothing else besides Webman mod and PrepISO , an 80gb and a 1tb , the 1tb drive also has Mamba 8.4 , when in Mamba mode LC titles work perfectly from hdd0 and ntfs0, in Cobra mode it only works from ntfs0 , boot from hdd0 fails LC challenge response. @aldostools did you test from both internal as well as external drive ? I'd be interested to know if anyone else can reproduce the same issue I'm getting . Once again guys thanks for your excellent work .Can you try this PKG to test if Dino Crisis works now my friend? It is working for me:

Currently my CFW reserve 22GB in GameOS HDD region for OtherOS (patched in emer_init.self). Do you mean to create the partition to install OtherOS on the internal HDD? You need to go to Recovery Menu and select [Restore PS3 System], this will create the partition. I don't know any other method other than this
Thank so much aldo! I was testing it but I used your code with some small changes, all is working as expected
I want to test Dino Crisis
EDIT: WORKING (Waiting for someone else to confirm)
Btw the test of PS2 Disc icon seems to working fine on with or without BC

I have tested Dino Crisis in ISO from dev_hdd0 and it passed libCrypto challenge. Are you loading it in ISO.BIN.ENC or in ISO format?
The database of .lsd or .sbi files should exist in /dev_hdd0/tmp/lsd or /dev_hdd0/tmp/sbi
The code that read the subchannel data is performed in process_get_psx_video_mode(), thus it's the same for all the storage devices (ntfs, hdd0, fat32, etc).

Thank you for the replies , @Evilnat I use Bin/Cue/Lsd combo , @aldostools the lsd files get installed with the Mamba pkg you provided me previously , just to be certain I also copied the lsd file from hdd0/PSXISO/Dino Crisis PAL.lsd to /dev_hdd0/tmp/lsd , same issue persists , everything works from ntfs0 in Cobra 8.4 but still not from Cobra 8.4 hdd0 , I've also tried just dumping Bin/Cue/Lsd to /dev_hdd0/PSXISO without an additional folder , after xml refresh , the game boots and locks up at first libcrypt challenge , when moving it to this location it clashes with the ntfs0 file location and the ntfs0 file does not populate in Webman mod but the file location does now show hdd0/PSXISO instead of hdd0/PSXISO/Dino Crisis PAL in Webman Mod it boots from this location and then locks up .
The file name should be like /dev_hdd0/tmp/lsd/SLES_022.07.lsd
I have tested the .lsi games mainly on hdd0 and most of them worked fine, except Ape Escape PAL.
The code for .lsi / .sbi in Cobra 8.4 is practically the same than Mamba 8.4
Maybe you should test a different game, or test if your .lsi works with Mamba 8.4 too.

Thank you for the reply , only the 80gb drive doesn't have Mamba 8.4 installed with this I pack the LSD in the folder with Bin/Cue and named the same as Bin/Cue in hdd0 and ntfs0 PSXISO location, on the 1tb mamba mode LC works perfectly fine from hdd0 as well as ntfs0 , I've tested Soul Reaver PAL ,CTR PAL and Dino Crisis PAL , the LSD files used are copied from the LSD pack and renamed to match game name when packed in with bin and cue ,in Cobra they all play fine from ntfs0 and only Soul Reaver works from hdd0 but that doesn't need the lsd file to be present in the iso location . Thank you for your time

Will the bugfixes be released as a 4.89.4 or just through plugin updates?
The bug fixes are being released through plugin updates.
Only CoreOS files require a new PUP. It would be too much work to repack +20 PUPs every time a new fix is released.

I know I'm off topic and I apologize.
Are the webman gameboot in ps1, ps2 and psp games working in CFW 4.89? if so can you direct me to the correct page please?
Most of the custom RCOs that worked perfectly on 4.88 are broken on 4.89.
That doesn't mean that they don't work, but some of them don't display the objects in the correct position.
IMHO this bug caused by Sony overshadows the fantastic work of Evilnat on 4.89.3 PEX.

Can you try it and tell me if it works for you? Make sure that TargetID and Kernel are CEX

Thank you for the reply @Evilnat,I've tested the linked pkg
CTR now boots from hdd0 but Dino Crisis still only boots from ntfs0 for me , it may be an issue with my PS3 if it's working from internal drive for others , I'll fiddle around with it a bit more , might try a different brand hard drive as both of my current drives are Toshibas . Is there a way I could pull a log file of what happens when I launch from hdd0?Similar threads
