Hey guys

I just got my Cobra USB dongle in the mail.

Trying to figure out how to make it work. I can't seem to find any links or guides that still work.

I managed to use 4Shared to download the firmware updater and Cobra firmware v5.0 which appears to be the newest version. Updated it in PC mode (yes, I got the drivers to install on my own - on a virtual Windows XP machine)

But when I plug it in my PS3, it says "Unknown USB device inserted" and MultiMAN doesn't seem to do anything different than usual. I still can't copy an inserted PS2 disc using MultiMAN.

I tried installing the Cobra v1.0 .pkg file (also got via a third party since Cobra USB's site is dead) and it just gives "This program was unable to start" with an error and won't actually open.

I am on 3.55 custom firmware. Not the official Cobra one, but one I made using PS3MFW Builder.

Anyone know how to make this thing work? All I want to do is backup my PS2 games and play the backups. I was told I need a Cobra dongle to do it. I have a first-generation CECHA01 PS3.
