EDIT : meh.... I just noticied it's cobra 7.1 and not 7.3, i'll update to 7.3 later...

I did some test here the result with the game [NPJD00040] Mana Khemia 2 on rebug 4.75

Original PS2 Classic PKG + Original RAP + ReatPSN = WORKING

ISO extracted from ISO.BIN.ENC + MGZ mounted with COBRA = NOT WORKING (Blackscreen)
ISO extracted from ISO.BIN.ENC + MGZ mounted with MAMBA = NOT WORKING (Blackscreen) (useless test I know...)


I installed PS2ISO_LAUNCHER_1.03.pkg and activated it with ReactPSN :

Re-encrypted ISO with ps2launcher RAP (PS2U10000) copied in /dev_hdd0/game/PS2U10000/USRDIR/ = NOT WORKING (Blackscreen)
Re-encrypted ISO with ps2launcher RAP (PS2U10000) + original CONFIG copied in /dev_hdd0/game/PS2U10000/USRDIR/ = NOT WORKING (I have msg corrupted data)

Re-encrypted ISO with ps2launcher RAP (PS2U10000) + Re-encrypted CONFIG with ps2launcher RAP (PS2U10000) copied in /dev_hdd0/game/PS2U10000/USRDIR/ = WORKING


I Re-encrypted ISO and CONFIG files with ps2_classic_GUI.exe from ps3tools collection of @aldostools

There is no weird behaviour everything is working as it supposed to be ... I tryed with cobra enabled and disabled and I had same result.

@Omage perhaps you have a corrupted backup of your game ?

@habib Could it be possible to support CONFIG files with ISO mounted with COBRA ?
Click to expand...
sure i would try to add support
a similar test on 7.3 would help
also if you could test original emus if config doesnt work on 7.3
 
I forgot that the previous test that i did wasn't with ps2emu from the rebug PUP but it was ps2emu from MGZ, I changed them when i was doing the last update of managunz (and i forgot ...). it was patched with payload from these src https://github.com/Zarh/ManaGunZ/tree/master/payloads/PS2_EMU/SRC ... I don't know, if it will help, i uploaded it anyway because i hadn't the same result.

Here a sum up

PS2classic launcher Re-encrypted with DEX flag.

4.75 DEX + cobra 7.1 [OFF] + Rebug ps2emu = not working (blackscreen)
4.75 DEX + cobra 7.1 [ON] + Rebug ps2emu = not working (blackscreen)
4.75 DEX + cobra 7.1 [OFF] + MGZ ps2emu = not working (blackscreen)
4.75 DEX + cobra 7.1 [ON] + MGZ ps2emu = not working (blackscreen)

4.78 DEX + cobra 7.3[OFF] + Rebug ps2emu = not working (blackscreen)
4.78 DEX + cobra 7.3[ON] + Rebug ps2emu = not working (blackscreen)


PS2classic launcher Re-encrypted with CEX flag.

4.75 CEX + cobra 7.1 [OFF] + Rebug ps2emu = not working (blackscreen)
4.75 CEX + cobra 7.1 [ON] + Rebug ps2emu = not working (blackscreen)
4.75 CEX + cobra 7.1 [OFF] + MGZ ps2emu = working

4.78 CEX + cobra 7.3[OFF] + Rebug ps2emu = not working
4.78 CEX + cobra 7.3[ON] + Rebug ps2emu = not working

Original PS2classic

4.75 CEX + cobra 7.1 [OFF] + Rebug ps2emu = not working (blackscreen)
4.75 CEX + cobra 7.1 [ON] + Rebug ps2emu = working
4.75 CEX + cobra 7.1 [OFF] + MGZ ps2emu = working
4.75 CEX + cobra 7.1 [ON] + MGZ ps2emu = working

4.78 CEX + cobra 7.3[OFF] + Rebug ps2emu = not working (blackscreen)
4.78 CEX + cobra 7.3[ON] + Rebug ps2emu = not working (blackscreen)


Also, even it's not related with ps2 classic, I did some test with PS2 ISO mounted with MGZ :

4.75 CEX + cobra 7.1 [OFF] + Rebug ps2emu = not working (infinite loading when it quite MGZ)
4.75 CEX + cobra 7.1 [ON] + Rebug ps2emu = working
4.75 CEX + cobra 7.1 [OFF] + MGZ ps2emu = working
4.75 CEX + cobra 7.1 [ON] + MGZ ps2emu = working

4.78 CEX + cobra 7.3[OFF] / mamba[ON] + Rebug ps2emu = Corrupted Disk icon
4.78 CEX + cobra 7.3[ON] + Rebug ps2emu = working


@dew
I tested JB games from a hub, i managed to have /dev_usb017 I mounted the game with cobra payload and it was working, sry. I don't know how to fix ur issue :s

I think reason the mamba mode can not launch CONFIG + ISO,
DEX mode also can not use ps2launcher ISO.BIN.ENC,
Re-encrypt using the ps2classic e dex parameter to get the black screen a same
Click to expand...

Btw I swapped meta keys and other two keys on sv_iso module on rebug 4.78-4.81, just to support encrypted mem card for ps2launcher method, but it still doesn't allow iso.bin.enc with cex keys

Thanks for the results,
Just to be clear, this is tests on a game which require config right?
Other classics do work?
If it is with config, can you try your emu with cobra 7.3?

Ok i tested with psemu patched with managunz on fw 4.78

On DEX :

PS2 launcher re-encrypted for DEX + CONF + cobra 7.3= blackscreen
PS2 launcher re-encrypted for DEX + CONF = blackscreen

I gave up on DEX.

on CEX :

Cobra + PS2launcher + CONF = Blackscreen
Cobra + Original PS2Classic + CONF = Blackscreen
Cobra + Original PS2Classic = Working

PS2launcher + CONF = Blackscreen
Original PS2Classic + CONF = Blackscreen
Original PS2Classic = Working


Also, I tryed to mount ISO throught MGZ, it's working fine with cobra but i have "not supported data" disk icon when i mount it with mamba. I think it's because MGZ is using the same mamba payload as 4.75...

Anyway, I noticied that when i mount an ISO with MGZ and then I launch a PS2classic from XMB the game emulated is the game mounted by MGZ. Even if it's mounted with this "broken" mamba so even if i have the disc icon "not supported data", the game is launched through the ps2classic icon. (i'm not sure if I'm understandable...)

Thanks man
So its the emu causing problems, ill check that today maybe
For the disc icon as unsupported data its because of wrong patches in modulespatch probably on game_ext or explore_plugin
 
@Zar heres some results i gathered
re-encrytped configs dont work since 7.2+ but official ones work
7.1 accepted unofficial configs
now 7.3 gets as close to offical emu as possible
could you try your config on official emu?i doubt it will work
and i know what i changed from 7.1+ thats related to bootparams which i can patch if i get to know conditions which apply to make it not work
 
Stop searching, I think I found the issue when i was gathering the different self to upload them to u, it's related to my ps3 system and not the cobra at all.
I'll be back soon, once i'll retest them i'll be sure. I'll report you, the result of my 'new' test as soon as I finish.
 
Long story

I decided to do some test with official ps2emu and then I had a blackscreen too. I found it weird. So, i wanted to test another game with config but when i wanted to active it with reactPSN. I had a Blue Screen to reset the setting config.I already had this message before in 4.75 when re-activated the other ps2classic. But this time the game wasn't activated... Also, it caused this error 80028c0d, it was just a notification msg which pop up when the system start.

So, I formated the HDD to do some test with a clean system. And again I had this blue screen when i used ReactPSN. And the game wasn't activated.
Finally, i used psnpatch, i didn't want to use it because it ask to create an account and to activated it ... i was too lazy. A 'proper' act.dat is generated when you activate the system through the PSN account manager.
So, I deleted the exdata folder then I spoofed the fw with SEN enabler, i created an PSN account and then activated the system. Finally, I activated the ps2classic games with psnpatch.​

Short story
I think the issue come from the 'unsigned' act.dat generated by reactPSN. It's better to generate one with the official way and to use psnpatch.
​

The result on 4.78CEX Rebug :

Official PS2emu + Official PS2Classic + CONFIG = working (I tested with 2 games)
Official PS2emu + Official PS2Classic = working
Official PS2emu + PS2Classic Placeholder + CONFIG = working

REBUG PS2emu + Official PS2Classic + CONFIG = working (I tested with 2 games)
REBUG PS2emu + Official PS2Classic = working
REBUG PS2emu + PS2Classic Placeholder + CONFIG = working


I had same result with the toggle cobra ON and OFF.
Also , i noticied that with the official PS2classic there is an epilepsy warning and when i use the placeholder there isn't this warning, just a blackscreen instead then the game is launched (With the same game for official and REBUG PS2emu)

Sry, for the trouble @habib for this non-issue :p

I didn't test for DEX yet.

I tested re-encrypted CONFIG with re-encrypted ISO [ISO.BIN.ENC] all loaded fine while on CEX [REX 4.81]

Currently,
@habib's is trying to find a way to apply decrypted or encrypted CONFIG on decrypted ISO [not ISO.BIN.ENC], which for now it has been causing blackscreen.

It'd be nice if we can use raw ISO with custom CONFIG with the launcher or without.

So far, you haven't specified whether you used ISO.BIN.ENC or just ISO for each test.

I have made my conclusion about ISO not being able to use re-encrypted CONFIG.

I haven't tested 7.1 emus, but I think it will result the same.

When I wrote "PS2Classic Placeholder", I was using re-encrypted ISO.BIN.ENC and re-encrypted CONFIG ofc, i copied them in /dev_hdd0/game/PS2U0000/USRDIR

So, you had the same issue as me caused by reactPSN ?

about CONFIG with raw ISO, I can't wait to see how it will be done. I hope I'll manage to use this to apply pnach files "on the fly" like it's done with CONFIG files.

I may have the same issue in the past or not. I don't think I actually tested re-encrypted config + re-encrypted iso combo back then

But I do remember decrypted iso didn't work with encrypted config for sure xD

Btw I used legit act.dat generated via PSN then used psnpatch to unlock ps2 classic activation (rif)
