I m sorry because it will not help at all your problem but can i ask you why you still need to use Cobra?

The only thing you can not have from other is may be to load psp iso.
Other than than,
ps2 emulator was release recently.
Loading eboot from network or with blueray not working: cex-dex
blueray movie regions free: you can make it easily by adding fews patchs to LV2v9

Again, i know it s not what you expected as answer but you might consider the cobra cfw is not necessary anymore so advanced ( may be one thing with recent news and broken fix, you might have fews fix for 3.60 working when regulars cfw will display a error but it s just because the fix wasn t done properly)

i was going to use it to enter and exit fsm bc i might be getting an old cechk and need it to complete the downgrade...is there another way to enter and exit fsm no downgrade dongle

i thought the lv2diag.self was to enter and exit fsm but i wanted to use the dongle to make sure i dont mess anything up bc i have allready bricked a ps3 using my e3 and dont want to do it again but a lil off topic i found some files to use the e3 on multiple ps3's have you heard of this b4 or is it bs its an update.bin i found on ngu i can post them on mediafire if needed the guy who posted it said it worked and has used the e3 on several ps3's the solderless verion

@SkateTrash420

The main two files you wanna worry about are:

Cobra USB Firmware v5.0 (what you install on the usb dongle)
Cobra CFW v3.55 (what you install on the PS3)

Go here:

Scroll down to "Installing driver"

Follow it to the letter and you should be okay unless you corrupted the dongle previously.

@Ada Love Lace

Cobra is not for those who want to use the PS2 emulator. It's at it's best when used on a BC PS3 with the EMO Chip.

Loading eboot from network or with blueray not working: cex-dex

IF, that's important to you.

This.

I think the whole "PS2 emulator released" thing has got some people very misinformed...easily the best way of playing PS2 backups as they should be on a PS3 (and as you said, definetly with a 100% PS2 hardware backwards compatible PS3) is with a Cobra dongle.

lol i know that the .pup file goes in mr ps3 and the .cba is the usb firmware but i cannot get the usb fw on there untill i install the drivers for it.....ive been looking for old drivers for it that came with old fw to install then update my fw to the most recent (5) but i cant seem to find any old fw downloads let alone the drivers for it unless its from the cobra site(which is all up to date)....but all i have to say is its really pissing me off that i cant install the drivers...ive sent cobra an email about it but i dont think they are going to reply back...idont understand why my computer is saying that it has found the software but cannot install bc the system cannot find the file specified it doesnt make sense 2 me at all.......why damnit

thanks for the help but it must be corrupt or something.. i truely dont understand bc its just been siting on a shelf for like a year and a half... looking through the details on the device in hardware properties after triyng to install the drivers gave me some info but i have no idea how to use it to fix my problem if it can... but i found out i have an install error E0000203 and wahever my dev node status is it says my
01806400
DN_HAS_PROBLEM
DN_DISABLEABLE
DN_REMOVABLE
DN_NT_ENUMERATOR
DN_NT_DRIVER

is there anything i can change in the cobra.inf to maybe get it to install the drivers....im guessing shes done for but i have nothing else better to do

[SkateTrash420]

THANK YOU so much you just made my day i got the cobra to pc v2 drivers to install from the link you gave me....thanks again its greatly appreciated

ive got 1 more quick question...is there suppose to be a loading bar or % when installing the cobra fw onto the usb using the cobra flash.exe....i read and reread where to put the drivers for he program and have got it working but when i drag the cobra fw into the black box theres no sign of it installing it just says the name of the file and gives me the option to press enter to quit....ive taken the drivers off deleted the program and used the installer for the program 3 different times...im not sure if the fw is on the usb or if the program is even doing anything...really all i need this dongle for is fsm...but im going to take a wild guess and assume that i will not be able to enter and exit fsm without the cobra fw loaded on the usb....thanks again for all the support this has got to be the most frustrating thing ive tried to do in a while especially considering the fact that what is happeneing here shouldnt be this ridiculous to do i mean installing drivers and fw wow cobra dont make it too simple

Updating Cobra USB firmware
To update Cobra USB firmware, just drag and drop the update file into the cobraflash program.
Wait for the update to complete and when asked, press ENTER to exit.
It is important to not remove the device while the update is in progress.


that is str8 from cobra-usb.com pdf tutorial on how to update usb fw on pc doesnt really help 2 much the program always gives you the option to press enter to exit...i mean this is a very important step here i dont want to try and enter and exit fsm if theres no fw on it...bc my guess is it wouldnt do it..worst 60$ i ever spent i should have bought a fat bag instead .
