Well know Spanish developer jaicrab has posted information on his blog about a new project he is working on, which seems to be a brand new CFW, this firmware will probably only be 3.55, so don’t get excited about a 3.60/3.65 release, some information on JFW:
In the works:
Including:
- Startup Plugins Manager.
- Multi tasking apps/Apps running while doing something else.(For Example: FTP while playing)
- Payload load before entering XMB. Free Cobra Payload…
. . .
Now whilst all that sounds awesome, this was not the most exciting information on the site, jaicrab posted keys, which i asume are the keys belonging to the Cobra Dongle:

Brilliant, this is something I've been dying for! I'm guessing we'll be able to listen to our own music in games now, maybe even switch between tasks using some kinda task manager. Maybe get Skype (or something like it) working if possible..

06-21-2011

1 question. Is it the dongle payload that creates all the benefits or their manager? Just wondering why I get an error message when I run it on hermes 3.41. Havent tried on ofw 3.41 with my blackcat.

Also, in all the excitement, I missed the fact that this could "potentially"
mean PS2 backup support on a 3.55 CFW. I will wait and hope.
06-21-2011
03:34 AM
best news in awhile!! can't wait for ps1, ps2 back up.. can't ask for more! so much for the "sophisticated security, can't clone etc.." what now.. haha.
06-21-2011
03:53 AM
You do know that the ps3 backup support is only if your console already supports ps2 games right? Sure cobra say it might work on non-ps2 bc consoles but not guaranteed.
Maybe jaicrab should have waited until cobra made it possible for all consoles to support ps2 games before telling them he's hacked their dongle.
06-21-2011
04:14 AM
We could "maybe" and "what if" all day, but the fact is, this is some seriously great news for the scene.
06-21-2011
05:13 AM
This is big news!
I'd love to see xlink kai support being added through a plugin without any need to run the software on a linked PC. ;-)
Anyway the possibilities for this are endless very good work!
06-21-2011
05:22 AM
Or a custom PSN middleware that will bind PSN to xlink kai... so that it would be possible to just use regular PSN on the xlink kai network, by changing your local DNS pointers.
06-21-2011
05:25 AM
about time i have been waiting a while for a dev to put this stuff in, thank god he is making cfw now. the ps3 scene need some more dev attention.
06-21-2011
05:44 AM
oooh looking good
I hope we get DVD and BR backup too
06-21-2011
06:03 AM
I'm one of the luck ones with a BC model PS3 so I'm happy.
Also, you know you can play PS2 games like V8 Supercars3 online on a BC PS3 even with CFW right?
06-21-2011
08:30 AM
u got a link?
06-21-2011
01:24 PM
I seriously doubt that this will amount to anything. Modchip manufacturers always love to exaggerate features of their products. But I hope that whatever features this thing has will be incorporated into one of kmeaw's CFW's.
06-21-2011
04:22 PM
Finally someone reverse engineered cobra usb dongle. But it said it could do everything and i hope it really does. although it seems too little too late. I really want a downgrade for all fw.
06-21-2011
04:57 PM
I like the sound of this, IF it can deliver on a just a few things mentioned here. And no I dont mean the CFW 3.60+ because lets be fair thatll come if and when its ready, and no amount of whining will change that, hell may even push it back more.
NTFS support on externals, boot straight too managers, possible BC ps2 isos running - sounds like sweetness to me.
It would also be nice to see some sort of network us CFW users can use, though it would no doubt be smothered with people who like to cheat there way to victory, thus spoiling it for the rest but meh such is life.
Lovely piece of work, and nice to see work still going into CFWs, on any level.
06-21-2011
05:26 PM
i can play battlefield modern combat online on my ps3, no problem, you just need bc xd
06-21-2011
05:58 PM
I would believe people by now would realize that the ps2 compatibility IS FOR EVERY SYSTEM but no people still say its only for bc systems...
Its not! its for every system!
06-21-2011
06:51 PM
Actually, is there any proof (video/photos or whatever) by now that this Cobra payload really does what it promises to do?
Sounds theoriticaly correct I don't dissagree but only when I'll see it I'll believe it, I guess you too...!

GOD, PepsiMan, I had seriously a ROFL momment, I completelly forgot the existance of this (lame) game, hahahahaha! XD
BTW, I'm curious to see results of PS2 games on full software emulation, I know that there is the ability to add PS2/PSOne loaders, I was asking because I want to see results of PS2 games on NON-BC models how it looks like...

I am stoked about this new CFW , I am on a Slim and to have ps1 would be just great! PS2 would be a bigger plus but beggars can't be choosers and I am grateful for people working on this!
06-21-2011
07:41 PM
Also, here's a serious question I don't remember anyone putting down and I'm sure many people would like to know:
How does this loader and PS3 deal with PS2/PSone game regions?
06-21-2011
08:24 PM
well they always be buggy and slow, however the compatibility could improve, anyway buggy and slow works for me now.
as for game regions, the loader plays any region on any region machine (means no restrictions)
06-22-2011
03:02 AM
no chance people. It's not gonna be 3.60
But thanks :P
06-22-2011
10:42 AM
Jaicrab CFW with auto QA Flagging would be the tits pretty much. Thank God I have a launch PS3 :D
06-22-2011
10:50 AM
auto Qa flaging is not possible unless there is a program to auto extract your EID0.
06-22-2011
11:43 AM
if and when we get plugins i dont think we will see a new cfw for awhile as plugins have to be updated etc etc so its what do you want from your console online goodies or offline goodies i wouldnt hold my breath waiting for a 3.65 cfw
06-22-2011
01:19 PM
Personally I'd like the ability to play the 3.60+ games, but wont shout about it, but hope we never get CFW PSN back personally.
People abused it, like some always do, and it ruined it for the rest of us. So keep the CFW off PSN in my opinion...the classic a few rotten apples scenario
