Cobra 4.88 CFW not running ps2 games

[TypicalPakeha]

Hi team,

I'm a recent convert to the PS3 jailbreak scene.

I installed 4.88 Cobra as it seemed to be the one to go with.

A couple of ps3 games have been installed and run with no issues, however whenever I go to run PS2 games, they either start working and freeze the whole ps3 at a loading screen causing a restart, or they just go black as soon as I click on them and it's 2mins of black screen until I'm at the XMB again.

Cobra has been enabled in the debug settings, however I'm running out of ideas and places to look to find solutions.

Any advice appreciated!

Same problem here!

maybe try qa flagging, downgrade to rebug 4.84 rex, then try a ps2 game. if it still does it, I'd suggest taking off your saves and stuff of the hdd and formatting the hdd on the pc, then trying a ps2 game again.

Real nube here, what is QA flagging, and how do I achieve the downgrade? firmware is on 4.88.

 

[godreborn]

you can enable qa with rebug toolbox. it will allow you to downgrade.

ps3 60gb USA model, ps2 working ok with CFW 4.88.2 evilnat + webmanmod + clean .ISO ps2 dumps (redump.org verified) in ps3 hdd internal dev/hdd0/PS2ISO folder (and refresh games webman XMB), other friends ps3 models (no 60gb) with aditional PS2CONFIGXXXX.pkg for ps2 game auto-fixes (emulation workarounds)

you can enable qa with rebug toolbox. it will allow you to downgrade.

Perfect I'll take a look shortly, do I need to go OFW before CFW? Or just downgrade straight to Rebug 4.84 rex?

Straight to rebug.

 

[TypicalPakeha]

Straight to rebug.

Hey busy times, only gotten around to trying this now.

I'm on 4.88 Cobra and when I open the Rebug tools, I can't enable QA flagging, it says the option is not available? Any advice?

 

[godreborn]

you may be using a bad version. I have the rebug toolbox version I'm using on my computer:

 

[TypicalPakeha]

Straight to rebug.

It seems I've been able to enable QA flagging through Cobra, however now when trying to install it says the file is corrupt despite having verified the MD5 thing.

Any suggestions?

 

[godreborn]

Check if qa flagging is enabled over network settings.

 

[TypicalPakeha]

Check if qa flagging is enabled over network settings.

hoy hoy! after numerous attempts to enable the QA flagging and a couple of 'corrupt update data' attempts, it worked! Star Wars Battlefront II here I come! Thank you

 

[TypicalPakeha]

Check if qa flagging is enabled over network settings.

Except it seems every PS2 game bar SW BF II seems to work. Back to the drawing board

 

[godreborn]

Not all games work, some do with config.txt

Hey everyone. So I had this exact same issue after updating my PS3 Slim to CFW 4.88 evilnat cobra version to be exact. I googled for a few hours trying to find a solution to why these official PS2 classic PKG file games, that are sold on the PS store , just blackscreen over and over . They actually we're chasing the console to hard crash , so it was more than just a black screen on the display output end. Anyway after much fiddling I found that going into the custom firmware tools and then disabling Cobra mode , letting the console do it's auto restart and then launching the game , caused it to launch fine. So I hope this reaches others struggling and helps.

Essentially, disable cobra mode, then launch the game & it should work.

Iirc, it doesn't work if you try to use both ps2 isos and ps2 classics on cobra. I think that's why multiman has cobra mode.

Hey
I have same problem on CFW evilnat 4.88 NoBD
Hardware BD drive is still not present on the PS3, PS2 games can run on BDless PS3? Bcause I have tried everything here and still have a black screen

I don't think bdless systems can run isos.
