Developer KW is back with another update to PSNPatch. In version 4.70.02 you now have the ability to auto boot plugins on non Cobra custom firmware, a great feature indeed. Touching base with the addition of PSN blocking introduced in version 4.66.40, the developer has tweaked the feature to allow for both Cobra [break][/break]and non Cobra custom firmwares. This includes IDPS auto-spoofing as well. Lets take a look.
4.70.02 3/MAR/2015
BIG news for non-cobra CFW!
- Added auto-boot PLUGINS FOR NON-COBRA CFW !!!
- New PSNPatch plugin updated to fully run in BOTH COBRA and NON-COBRA;
- Included webMAN-Mod plugin for both cobra and non-cobra modes;
- "Block PSN Access" now works for BOTH COBRA and NON-COBRA at boot time;
- (providing the PSNPatch plugin is installed - wait for PSNPatch welcome message).
- IDPS auto-spoofing now works for BOTH COBRA and NON-COBRA at boot time;
- (providing the PSNPatch plugin is installed - wait for PSNPatch welcome message).
- Confirmed compatibility with 4.70 CFW
- (this is just a confirmation as no code changes were needed);
Notes for non-cobra plugins:
1) Non-cobra plugins should be configured in /dev_hdd0/prx_plugins.txt; (PSNPatch does this automatically when installing PSNPatch or webMAN plugins)
2) Non-cobra plugins can mount games only in jailbreak format
3) ISO support for non-cobra is coming
4) When in non-cobra CFW: go to new "TOOLBOX" menu in PSNPatch app to configure plugins
5) Non-cobra plugins were tested just in 4.70, but it should be compatible with several previous CFW versions
6) Many failsafe procedures were taken in consideration to install the non-cobra plugin handler
In the event of something going wrong (a broken plugin or an error installing the plugin handler), there are 2 EASY failsafe procedures:
a) Create a "failsafe" file and place it in a folder named "core_flags" in a usb stick in the right usb port of the ps3. This procedure can also be done to disable plugin loading from non-cobra CFW.
b) Re-install the CFW from the Recovery menu.
