The wait is over!

After a few months of additional research and development we are proud to announce that the Cobra ODE has been greatly enhanced, making the experience both easier and richer than before. In essence we spent the additional time from time of announcement and to ensure that we can deliver a far superior product.

We have also added homebrew support as well as refinements to the hardware providing a much improved, quicker and easier installation method for 2K5, 3K and 4K users...

Cobra ODE users can now run ISO's and homebrew apps from any PS3***, including previously "unbreakable" 2k5, 3k and 4k models! We have now removed the external UI commander since it is no longer necessary. Now you can browse and launch all homebrew apps/games and PS3 ISO's from the XMB.

Once again, yes, by using with the Cobra ODE you can browse and launch homebrew apps/games and PS3 ISO's from the XMB via the Cobra ODE manager...

The device is easy to install, use and upgrade too!

Simply, Cobra ODE has re-invented the scene, breaking down the barriers once thought to be impenetrable...

The device offers PS3 ISO's, homebrew apps and games, even on the latest 2k5, 3K and 4K systems and is fast and powerful enough to provide plenty of room for expansion of features in the future.....

Production will now commence and stocks will follow to resellers shortly....

Since my old server has no chance of going up again I decided to use my home "server" to restore the covers/themes/webcolumn/game-updates functionalities.

Please do not abuse it - it may get slower from time to time, but this is all I can do at the moment. This is the only change in this version (new update/online server) along with SHOWTIME.SELF 04.03.240 for mM and as standalone.

HI GUYS, IT'S BEEN HARD FINDING TIME FOR THE PS3 WITH SO MUCH GOING ON AT WORK AND HOME, THAT'S THE REASON I DECIDED TO RELEASE THE POINTMAN BETA AS A (POC). WISH I HAD MORE TIME TO COMPLETE IT AND POLISH IT, ANOTHER REASON IS THAT THE PS4 IS AROUND THE CORNER, AND I'M ALSO MAKING A PC GAME.

Pointman: the Akkadian Wars - The game is a throwback to 80′s and 90′s styling and music, all of it was built for you guys as a proof of concept that with some time and creativity cool things can be accomplished. This game will run in CFWs 3.55 and 4.xx. There will be bugs! Powerups are mostly disabled, and there's a glitch on some textures loading, but it's rare. I do a small homage to the scene in the credits, but you'll have to finish the level first, good luck with that...lol, forget about HARD mode, even I can't finish it, so use EASY.If you let the MAIN MENU run, you'll get to see the story, 80′s style.

Basically, avoid the Aliens and drive the ship or mech until you've covered the map sectors, scan artifacts if possible, and grab powerups, but then again, they're disabled.

BwE NOR Validator Changelog:
1.31 - 27/05/2013 : added eid4 + fixed bug in entropy (note: possibly final version, unless adding firmware revisions/new consoles)

BwE NAND Validator Release Notes:

Created/Started by BwE on the 3rd March 2013 (Because I was pressured to).

Greetz/Credit: EussNL, Judges, No0bZiLLa, Rogero, Rebug, deank, 3absiso, AFP, SCE & PS3 Dev Wiki (+ Its Contributers).

This all in one validator/patcher will patch for 3.55 and will output the results of 2799+ validations via HTML.

How?
1 - Place your .bin/s in the same folder as the validator.
2 - Run the validator and press Start.
3 - A console will appear asking you to select your dump (if you have more than one in the folder).
4 - Make your selection and or select if you watch to patch it.
5 - Wait patiently.
6 - Press Enter at the end to launch the output.

Explanation:
After selecting your dump and choosing which patch you want it will begin to process the validation. Once it is finished it will give you a brief count of the results, after this you simply press enter to exit.
The program will then open a html output illustrating everything that has been validated. Scroll through or use the menu at the top and read each section.

If a validation says 'warning' or 'danger' investigate it yourself manually using a hex editor, or contact somebody knowledgeable. Only corruption messages will show you the exact offset to look at, everything else won't so this is where you have to read/learn about it on the ps3devwiki.

Some validations will tell you that you need to patch it (e.g. ROS0 / ROS1 errors or warnings), if this is the case then do so (don't forget to rename the patched dump) and re-validate the patched dump (you can move the original unpatched dump to make sure it is checking the patched one).

If your dump has any 'danger' messages in the per console sections (find them in the menu) then there is a good chance its completely ruined and unfixable. Also, if your dump has a large amount of 'danger' messages then there is a serious issue - bad wiring can be discovered if you have any repetition in the dump.

As this is the first release, give extra care to each alert and use at your own risk! This program will only as good as the NOR validator after tedious updates

Report any bugs or issues to bwe@betterwayelectronics.com or directly to BwE @ irc.efnet.org #ps3downgrade or irc.ps3sanctuary.com #ps3hax

Give credit if you are using this for other people!

Warning:
Using this program is NOT a 100% way of validating your dumps (because nothing is), but it is a good way of quickly seeing if it is worth checking further. This program will NOT work with NAND and will not check anything other than what is stated. ALWAYS CHECK MANUALLY!

Use at own risk! Valid dumps may be invalid - Invalid dumps may be valid.

There are almost infinite variations of each dump! Have fun and good luck!

If you do not validate your flash, and for some reason(s) the dump is invalid/bad, and you are rewriting to flash, you have no way of restoring the console hence making a perma-brick (unrecoverable brick).

BwE NAND Validator Changelog:
1.00 - 27/05/2013 : first proper/public release (because I am lazy there will be no loader!)

Q: WHAT IS D-REX EDITION?
A: Basically D-REX EDITION is REX EDITION that can be installed on a REAL DEX or coverted DEX PS3 System.

Q: WHAT IS LITE EDITION?
A: LITE EDITION is straight up CEX/RETAIL PS3 firmware it has NO DEX/DEBUG features.. AT ALL.

Q: WHY MAKE LITE EDITION?
A: Because at the moment 4.4x DEX firmware is not in the wild and we 100% refuse to make a version hybrid (using 4.30 DEX files in 4.41). There is approx. 70 files that need to replaced in CEX firmware for it to become a complete DEX firmware. About 40 of those files at least have been updated in the CEX firmware since 4.30 (if you look at 4.40 PS3PATCH.PUP) and more again with 4.40 and 4.41. With so many file changes it makes a nice recipe for instability..

NOTE: Remember to update to the latest Rebug Toolbox included in the LITE EDITION firmware.

Enjoy

Based on the awesome scripts created by szczuru, and the tools created by Pink1, arnold (swapperneger), zecoxao, tpu, doobz, sandungas among others devs. This "mod" tries to streamline the process of conversion of PKG/ISO/CSO/PBP to PSP package for PS3. Latest versions include a GUI and improved compatibility.

Changes in v1.8 "mod by aldostools"
- Added support for PSP Remasters. Thanks to doobz (See also: PSPtoPS3-b22)

The basic idea is that after being installed on a CFW PS3, the iso can be transferred to the OFW PS3 through the integrated Data Transfer Utility, and will still run perfectly fine.

How it works

The PS3 allows you to copy data from one PS3 to another, usually when you want to transfer all your existing content in the case you bought a new PS3. This is done by connecting your two PS3s with an ethernet cable. What CapetLeVrai did, which sounds simple enough but appears to work, was to install the game on his hacked PS3, then copy the entire content of his hacked PS3 to the OFW one with the Data Transfer Utility, and the hacked iso then simply accepted to run on the OFW PS3.

Please note I haven’t confirmed myself because I’m beyond lazy and don’t want to lose my OFW PS3′s content (copying from your hacked PS3 to your unhacked PS3 will erase the previous content!) but from what I can tell this is legit.

Now, why would it be interesting if this requires a hacked PS3 in the first place? Well, it shows that once installed, the game seems to be able to bypass the standard DRM security checks on OFW that should prevent it from running in the first place. Or, rather, that the hack perfectly tricked the OFW PS3 into believing the game was legally acquired. Which means that if people had a way to run a package installer on official firmware PS3s, there could be a way to install and run psp isos (and, who knows, PSP homebrews) on the latest PS3 Official firmware.

Is it far fetched? Probably. But exciting? Definitely.
