Submitted by greg; December 08, 2011


A big update for those jail breaking by way of the Cobra — it's Cobra-USB Firmware v4.3 ... and coinciding with that is Multiman Cobra-USB Manager v03.01.00. You'll find increased compatibility with certain [black screen] games and support for reActPSN (replacing vsh.self), plus a lot more in Multiman for Cobra... Cobra-USB Firmware v4.3 CHANGELOG

• Increased the compatibility of games in JB directory format (fix for the so called black screen games, that were only working in iso format). In Cobra USB, you don't need to set any special option or key combination in multiman for these games to work, just start them normally. Unlike in regular CFW, in Cobra USB these games work also in internal hdd.
• At the request of customers, vsh.self of Cobra USB CFW can now be replaced by the ReactPSN one (only by the one of 3.55k folder) without loosing any Cobra functionality.
