i hope it gets cracked. this is the last drm dongle that needs to get cracked and this one actually has features. i wonder if ps2 support on non bc consoles will be improved.

I second this hope. I got a good amount of PSX/PS2 games I would like to place on my USB HDD so wont have to deal with the disk anymore. Also have PSP games would like to run from HDD without having to use a Dongle. Wondering if someone is at least trying to attempt to add this feature to a CFW or trying to make a Program that would be used just for this.
Off Topic, does anyone know if there is any other person/s attempting to get a N64 Emu running? I know the Wii64/SX Team if tryin this, but they have the 64/SX Updates they are more focused on. If it were ported to PS3, it would make the PS3 the best MultiSystem ever

I've been waiting on this for a long time. I doubt it'll ever see the light of day. There are some ppl that are well ..... You fill in the rest ....

Cobra team,
please update us on status of 3000+ models. I know someone somewhere out there is working on finding an exploit for that and it definitely becomes less cumbersome now that the system is wide open on <3.55 stock firmware ps3s.

can't wait to make an htpc/xmbc out of my ps3. I hate to pay sony for games now just becuase of their bullshit business practices.

There will never be a software exploit for the 3000+ models. Your only hope is hardware flasher, if that ever becomes a possibility.

like on cfw 3.55 cobra, list of games PSP/PS2 will be the same like on 4.30 so i thank you for such thing

cfw 3.55 cobra
- maybe 15 games from PSP working (check the threads about cobra on psx-scene) and the same for title PS2 on NON-compatible models.

This is sick joke Cobra.

Can you now peer into the future? If so, what are the winning lottery numbers?

I think it's great that Cobra is still supporting it's modification product by keeping up with modern times.

Perhaps 'Never' is too strong of a word. Of course I don't know for sure, but I really think the chances of getting a soft mod for the 3000+ models is going to be very, very slim. You can't even use a hardware flasher on them right now.

Now that I read this, from what I understand about Cobra is I dont recall being on cfw when I originally installed Cobra cfw. So I expect this next Cobra cfw to allow ofw users to upgrade to it without any flaws. Or they will screw us all and use the same excuse about "needing" 3.55 for "no reason" in order to upgrade to it.

This is sick joke Cobra.

CobraUSB is still more geared towards full BC models but the added support for new games (without patching) will be welcome

Edit: wondering if Team REBUG will be able to work their magic with this one

You need to be on 3.55. There is nothing the Cobra team can do about that. Why would they artificially require 3.55? That would only cut the amount of available customers.

Some people (the guy you quoted) seems to believe that the scene is purposely leaving people on OFW > 3.55 out for some reason. There is no logic in it, and they have been given the reason many many times... but still it is the scene's fault that they can not get on CFW. Their logic = fail
