cobra ode MCU 1.9 update

cobra ode MCU 1.9 update

 

Happy new year everyone!


With the new year, comes a new exciting big update from the Cobra Team.

This is the most advanced update yet and it packs a lot of new features for Cobra users including PS1, PS2 and BD Movie support.
The Cobra Team has been hard at work in the past couple of months to bring you the MCU 1.9 update.

As initially promised, this update adds support for PS1 games, PS2 games (only on backward compatible consoles), DVD movies and BD movies support. Another interesting feature is the ability to hot swap your HDD. You can now remove and change your games HDD while the PS3 is on.

The update also has a lot of stability improvements, bugfixes and most freezing issues introduced in recent updates have now been fixed.

We have also updated the genps3iso tool, now with IRD v9 support. Both genps3iso and genps3extra have now also been released as a native linux binary for linux users. The Cobra Manager and Cobra Browser have also been updated to add the support for PS1 and PS2 games, as well as DVD and BD movies. The third party library is also updated to allow other managers to take full advantage of these new features.

The Cobra database has also been updated with 1342 total game discs supported.

We would also like to take this opportunity to let our users know that we are aware of some issues with the new v4.20 and v4.30 boards and 2xxx console models, and we are working hard on fixing the issue as soon as possible. In the meantime, if your BD drive is unresponsive, use the eject button to turn on your console instead of the power button, as it will fix the issue and the ODE will function correctly.

Enjoy :)

Cobra ODE 4.20 QSV

Cobra ODE 4.20 QSV
We are pleased to annouce a performance update for 4.20 QSV boards which remedies the freezing issue reported by some users. The performance update relates to both the NXP mcu and Smart Fusion FPGA onboard. Please be sure to follow the instructions in the readme.txt carefully. This is imperative in order that the update will be completed successfully

A similar performance update pack is currently undergoing BETA testing for 4.20 (non QSV model) and 4.30A boards and addresses freezing issue reported by a minority of users and also includes 2k series auto eject fix and 2k series BMD-061 drive controller fix. Further fine tuning of this update will be made before release on our site sometime next week.

Team Cobra will continue to strive to best support our users and deliver innovation to the scene.

Cobra ode 2.0 update und Ihre Eigenschaften

Cobra ODE News - Information

Cobra 2.0 release imminent - features explained (Including initial support for 4.55):

Cobra Team have been hard at work 24/7 preparing the next firmware release for our users. The incoming Cobra 2.0 is once again a massive update and packed with innovative new features.

After the massive features (PS1, PS2, BD/DVD movies and IRD 9  support) added in the recent Cobra 1.90 update, we're back with yet more cool features in 2.0 which will be released in the coming week:

2.0 will pack these features:

• Initial support for OFW 4.55 (Please read further information in news paragraph below)
• Auto-generate browser from the MCU, no more need for genps3extra
• Dumping of original games using the BD drive is now possible through the Cobra Manager
• Added support for XMB enabled Pass-Through mode, meaning user no longer has to use slide switch to swap modes
• Playback of burned PS1 discs when used in combination with the game.disc_type=ps1 configuration option
• Increased AES encryption module performance by over 100%, now there is no lag in playback of IRD generated ISO's
• Added support for updating PS3 firmware without needing to switch to PT mode
• Eject now possible on 4k systems, without need for user to open console cover
• Added support for "eject.delay" option to specify delay in milliseconds before reinsertion of disc after it has been ejected on QSB systems (default value of 1000ms)
• Added support for "leds.disable" configuration option to disable specific LED colors

We have been working on a solution for OFW update 4.55, which will fix the added anti ODE measures. The current approach will be more streamlined than solutions currently offered by other teams, however it is not as convenient as using the ODE on pre 4.55 OFW's. Our R&D focus is now concentrating on other possible solutions to bypassing the 4.55 checks. The current working solution for OFW 4.55 will be released in the coming week. We advise users to use this update if they have accidentally updated to 4.55. Others who have not yet  updated may want to consider keeping their consoles on 4.53 or lower until a better solution is available to benefit from the user convenience of the ODE on these firmwares.

We can now also confirm that only 4k Super Slim series consoles are affected by the 4.55 update.

Those who have 3k / 2k5 Slim or earlier consoles are safe to update to 4.55
