I’ve been a little busy lately or I would have gotten around to
posting this hours ago, But I’m sure many of you are aware of the recent
COBRA7 developments. With the release of COBRA7.3, Habib and Mysis have
finally fixed the wireless sync bug that has been plaguing all COBRA
CFWs later than 4.46 when using software emulation. What exactly does
this mean for you? Well the use of a PS2Launcher is no longer required
for PS2 ISOs on any console with COBRA7.3 enabled; Just launch the game
via XMB as you would any other Disc/ISO.
As always, Rebug has a very comprehensive list of features, changes,
fixes, etcetera; so we’re only going to cover some of the big ones:

***ISO rips are required to get 100% support, for ex) after disabling syscalls, games like Call of Duty will not be able to play unless you use ISO rips, please DO NOT expect everything to be fully functional when you are disabling the built-in features from COBRA. Folder rips are NOT compatible with PSNPatch’s stealth mode due to its ability to disable COBRA’s disc-less feature for folder JB rips*** - PS3MAPI support, allows you to attach process on both CEX/DEX via its own API app.
- NPDRM FSELF support (DEX only with debug vsh), allows you to attach process on both npdrm fself and non-drm fself by disabling Kakaroto’s sig patches in VSH.

General Cobra Plugin Information
Support for plugins at boot time:
- The number of vsh plugins has been increased from 1 to 7 slots.
- Slot 0 is reserved for use for iso plugins (netiso.sprx and rawseciso.sprx).
- Slots 1-6 are for boot plugins.
- text file: /dev_hdd0/boot_plugins.txt shall contain a plugin path per line.
- Copy plugin_name.sprx to you internal ps3 hdd (ex: /dev_hdd0/).
- Create or Edit boot_plugins.txt in the root of the hdd (/dev_hdd0/boot_plugins.txt) and add a line for the new plugin. Assuming you placed the sprx also in the root of the disk, add: /dev_hdd0/plugin_name.sprx. Add a new line for each plugin.
- Then Reboot PS3 Console!
- Software (SW) Emulation:
Support for PS2 ISOs in non BC consoles was removed in Cobra 4.30 (usb), due tops2_softemu missing. It has been re-enabled now by hacking of ps2_netemu. You can use it in the same way as before, just load an ISO and launch from disc icon, Cobra core takes care of rest. No need for encrypted isos, isos patched with limg sectors, etc. Just your normal PS2 isos dumped from discs. However, there is NO SUPPORT for Optical Discs in PS2_NETEMU.
Note: Don’t forget to set the memory cards in XMB, in the old memory card utility for PS/PS2, as ps2_netemu won’t let you assign them in game.
- Hardware (HW) Emulation:
PS3 Models: CECHA, CECHB, CECHC and CECHE Backwards Compatible (BC) Consoles will still use their respetive emulators(ps2_emu, ps2_gxemu), which have much better compatibility and also support optical discs, original or backup.
COBRA MODE
- COBRA mode / webMAN currently disabled by default, if you want to
use COBRA 7.3 features, please enable Cobra Mode via REBUG TOOLBOX
2.02.09. Users of previous COBRA CFW 4.55 / COBRA7 and below may
experience issues with some games due to improved cobra payload that has
updated permission patch, in this case. ***Remove old game data and re-install the game if you run into weird issues.
Previous Cobra payload still had its old patches that were used for USB
Dongle and mmCM, but not anymore, and this fixes the issue with all
non-working games with Cobra. non-Cobra users will not have this problem
since their data was not corrupted by old cobra payload.
For those interested, the latest COBRA7 source code can be found on Joonie86′s GitHub.
