Developer Evilnat has released CFW 4.89.3 Evilnat, an update to his popular Custom Firmware for PS3s based on the latest firmware 4.89. This release brings a new Hybrid Retail/Debug firmware named PEX (similar to Rebug REX). THe developer also added a ton of new functionality to Cobra and xai_plugin in this update, as we’ve mentioned last week.
What is CFW 4.89.3 Evilnat for PS3
Evilnat CFW is a Custom firmware for your PS3. It adds customization features to your hacked console.
A CFW adds multiple features for tinkerers, in addition to what a HEN provides.
In particular, Evilnat CFW includes the Cobra tool, which allow the following:
- Region free BluRay
- ISO mounting for BluRay/DVD/PS1/PS2/PS3*
- Mounting ISOs and games over network
- ISOs can be split and still mounted, to bypass FAT32 4GB file limit on USB
- PS1 backup discs work just like retail discs
- Launch any PSP ISO using the Cobra PSP Launcher (compatibility is not 100%)*
- Launch PS2 ISOs on any console (HDD only, software emulator is not 100% compatible)
- Never requires a real disc in drive
- Boot Plugins (apps that run in the background on boot)
- Dynamic firmware spoofing for mounted backups (apps don’t require updates for every firmware update)
