Cobra USB Firmware 4.1 Released

Submitted by greg; October 26, 2011


One of the only dongle manufacturers keepin' up with the updates is Cobra USB. This one -- version 4.1 -- focuses primarily on PSP, minis, and save game support ... the full change log can be read below. I wonder if Team Cobra will add "True Blue" features once that's cracked open and those "special" BD-R discs are figured out. The same can be said for True Blue too, I guess... Will they add Cobra features in the future? I know it's still early but I mean Cobra definitely packs many more features than just booting 3.60+ games. What would you pick, right now? What features are more important to you? Cobra USB or True Blue? Discuss. Cobra Features

• Improved compatibility with psp games. Some of the games that crashed early now run.
• Added support for PSP savedata. Please note that in the previous release, savedata worked for isos that were generated from psp minis games. However, those savedata are incompatible with this new firmware. You can see psp savedatas under the ps3 savedata section in the XMB, not under the minis one. If savedata still doesn't work in some game, please send us a message to our support email address.
• Cobra USB Manager will now give an error when trying to load a prometheus patched PSP iso, as those aren't compatible with the PSP emulator.
• Added Cobra USB PS3 Updater to the download section. With this tool you can update the dongle using the PS3, require Cobra Firmware 4.0+ to work. Refer to the manual for instructions..
