Some pretty cool updates from the Cobra team on their latest software/firmware update. The new update brings various bug features, and the ability to boot PS3 ISOs via network connection! Yes it is now possible to play your PS3 games from your PC.

Changelog of Cobra USB Fw 5.0:

- Added support to play isos from a PC using network connection. No more waste of time copying between PC and ps3, play directly from the files on your computer!

Requires to run the supplied ps3netsrv server application (it is inside mmCM 04.01.00 download) on the PC, a version for windows and linux is provided (mac users can use the windows version with wine
Note: when using wine, we recommend to run directly the command line ps3netsrv.exe and not the gui).

Currently the following items can be played from network:

* PS3 isos
* PSX cue+bin or isos
* Blu-Ray isos
* DVD isos

Currently the following items cannot be played from network:

* PS3 games in JB directory format (planned for 5.1 release)
* PSP isos (planned for 5.1 release)
* PS2 isos (planned, but we cannot estimate the version)

Although Cobra doesn’t restrict the isos from being loaded through wifi, wifi is too slow for most uses, we recommend to use a wired connection.

- Optimized a bit the read of PS3 isos (15-20% gain in external disk, not noticeable in internal disk)

- Added dynamic firmware version spoofer capabilities. You can set the spoof in mmCM settings. As Sony release new firmwares, the spoofer can be updated by updating mmCm, without
need of updating Cobra USB fw. No system files are modified by the version spoofer, all take place in ram.

Changelog of mmCM 04.01.00:

* Changed: Nethost PC server application “ps3serv” is replaced by new windows/linux application “ps3netsrv”

* Added support for playing PS3 and PSX games in ISO/CUE+BIN format from remote net_hosts (PCs connected to the LAN)

* Added support for playing Blu-ray and DVD-Video movie titles in ISO format from remote net_hosts

! NOTE: For best performance and compatibility of the new net_host interface, a WIRED network may be required (Wi-Fi is also supported)

! NOTE: Root folders served by remote hosts must contain /PS3ISO, /BDISO, /DVDISO and /PSXISO folders to enable remote content

* Added new option in SETTINGS column: “Network Servers” for setting up to 10 remote nethost IP:PORT values

* Removed: *nethost* settings from options[_default].ini are ignored and no longer supported

* Added new option in SETTINGS column: “System Firmware Version” for “spoofing” current FW version to 4.00 or higher

* Added support for thumbnail images for remote BD/DVD/PS3/PSX ISO/BIN+CUE files (*.jpg / *.png)

* Added support to copy files from one net_host to another

* Added support to delete folders from remote net_host

UPDATE 2

A new video.

CobraUSB dongle makers have integrated the most popular backup manager into their firmware: multiMAN, along with a few other updates.

For those reading the threads previous comments, there was a initial confusion on the update as CobraUSB labeled the release of multiMAN as version 3.00, and many people felt that this was an insult to multiMAN. However, our favorite dev deank has came out and posted about the matter here:

So much accusations, blaming and calling names. I just managed to read all of that and don’t see the point.

I’m actually glad that for the first time I see a clone/fork of multiMAN which has things and features ADDED. I’ve witnessed 4 or 5 releases of multiMAN, compiled by various users or sites, castrated and barely recognizable, renamed and published as ‘original work’ (there was no drama there, right?!), but this time some users get a better version, although limited to cobra dongle users. As I see it, the new stuff in mmCM is about cobra and it is nice that someone picked up on the ‘garbage source-code’ (as many qualified it numerous times few months ago), and managed to add useful features to it.

I don’t care who uses mm’s source, so just stop the drama. The license says ‘you can do whatever you want with it’ and it doesn’t require that you include the modified source or anything. Check your English skills and re-read it. It requires that the redistributed package/version includes the license and it does – there is a ./usrdir/sys/LICENSE file in their distribution.

As I see it – cobra usb users got a new option and that’s good – I like that now they can enjoy a multiMAN clone. Actually I feel kind of good that mm will reach more people. As for the mm 02.09.02 being the latest (not last) multiMAN version – well if I find something new to add – I’ll add it. I spent a year adding stuff and features and it looks good to me as it is now. If I find time – I’ll add more. If you find time to add something useful – add it – the source was there for 7 months and no one cared about that.

Dead Island WORKING READ NFO TB PS3 – PARADOXIt seems that the quiet PARADOX has entered the PS3 scene once again releasing the first True Blue dongle supported games: Portal 2 and Dirt 3.  We all know Portal 2 was previously not playable, and Dirt 3 is a new release that is now playable.

What is interesting in this release is it seems that True Blue may be not using debug eboots after all (which would be a semi good thing, as it may not be as useless as we thought).

deank, the lovely man behind the amazing multiman application, has updated the program once again! The update is available for CFW/MFW v3.41 users ONLY.

To quote deank:

Ok, some good news for 3.41CFW/MFW users. Thanks to an0nym0us the proper offsets for lv1 and lv2 in 3.41 were located and you can now enjoy the PSX games and direct-disc-access.

Have in mind that it won’t work for 3.41OFW + dongle. You need to be on 3.41MFW with some lv1 patches like Rogero CFW, Rebug CFW or Hermes CFW (3.41 versions).

Changelog:

• Improved performance in XMMB display mode
• Backup from PS3 game discs now works as it should
• Support for PSX backups on 3.41CFW/MFW (10x to an0nymous for the lv1/lv2 offsets)
• You can still launch PSX games from XMMB Game Column
• You can still launch PS3 game backups from DVD-R/RW / BD-R/RE
• You cannot create ISO backups or access non-genuine PS3 game discs (unless Direct Disc Access is enabled)
• You will see an animated icon in XMMB Game column, which you can use to launch your PSX backups.
• To keep the same functionality as before you can turn on “Direct Disc Access” from XMMB Settings column. >>> Press [TRIANGLE] -> Enable Direct Disc Access >>> When in Direct Disc Access mode you can rip BD movie discs, launch games, but you can’t create backups of PS3 Game Discs. >>> Do not use “Direct Disc Access Mode” unless you really need it.

multiMAN creator deank has released an application, that will enable you to play your PS3 Backups via DVD or Blu Ray, this is done by installing a PKG onto your PS3, inserting the back up and selecting the game icon, here is a quote from the thread:

Hey there folks!

Here is the promised little tool, which will let you play your backups of original PS3 games when burned on DVD/DVD-RW/BD/BDRE discs.

If you’re familiar with ebootFIX tools you won’t have problems. It will be included in the ebootFIX/MOD package for the next multiMAN FULL version.

The good things that come with this:

* You can now make in-game SCREENSHOTS for all games you play via this method
* You can play music from XMB Music column (background music) while playing the game
* This method doesn’t require payloads of any kind – only CFW/MFW on your PS3

Here is a screenshot I just took: (press {PS} button while in-game, go to Photo column and select “Screenshot”)

Remember: Use this method ONLY with legally owned original PS3 games.

There is no guarantee that this method will work with all games, but if you follow the instructions in this post and generated txt – all should be fine.

Enjoy!

****THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR PS2 GAMES.****

It seems a German ps3 Dev named ScHeVeNs has found a way to play PS1 burned backups using multiMAN.

First the Duplex thing now this…wow the scene can take a turn for the better all in a matter of one day…plus the progress of the n64 emu…Looking good

UPDATE 1:

Tons of new updates on this news story over the past several hours.

First off, deank has updated multiMAN to version 02.07.06, this new update allows PSX discs appear in XMMB Game column allowing you to boot PS1 games from there. You can grab the download HERE.

Second, SAVE GAME FILES ARE NOT CURRENTLY WORKING.

There also is a compatibility list out there, I am mirrioring the tested ones here but honestly most of the games will work with this method and there may be a very small percent that don’t.

And here are some videos showing the PSX booting in action:

Stay tuned for more developments with us @PS3Hax.

UPDATE 2

PS3Hax member CaptainCPS-X has posted more information on how to get SAVE GAME to work, to quote:

- Turn on you PS3 console
- DONT open multiMAN
- In the GAME column look for “Memory Card Utility (PS/PS2)”
- Create a PS1 memory card
- Set it to Slot 1 (Press Triangle while selecting the Memory Card, then Assign it)
- Now, run multiMAN
- Insert your backup disc
- Load it
- Play
- Memory Card is in Slot 1, no need to mess with it anymore.

Another multiMAN update by deank brining version to 02.07.07.

To quote:

multiMAN ver 02.07.07 UPDATE (20110928-161900).pkg (1.75 MB)

In this update about PSX games (FW 3.55 only):

* Proper management for Memory Card 1 and Memory Card 2 (thanks to moogie and squarepusher for the emulator debug log)
* The name of the memory card may be anything you wish
* Setting “Screen Mode” to “Full”
* Setting “Smoothing” to “On”
* Detecting PSX discs with Audio tracks (now all PSX discs detected properly)

If you want “Saves” and “Memory Cards” to work, make sure that your CREATE at least one memory card in XMB/Memory Card Utility (PS/PS2).

Have in mind that EVEN if you don’t assign a slot for a memory card from XMB, multiMAN will search for your memory cards and will assign all of them in the emulator. Do not use the “Assign Slots” menu in the emulator – it will freeze. The cards will be already assigned.

For all this to work you must launch the game from the PSX black disc icon in XMMB Game column and not the emulator self!
