Changelog of Cobra USB Fw 5.0:

- Added support to play isos from a PC using network connection. No more waste of time copying between PC and ps3, play directly from the files on your computer!

  Requires to run the supplied ps3netsrv server application (it is inside mmCM 04.01.00 download) on the PC, a version for windows and linux is provided (mac users can use the windows version with wine

Note: when using wine, we recommend to run directly the command line ps3netsrv.exe and not the gui).

Currently the following items can be played from network:

  * PS3 isos

  * PSX cue+bin or isos

  * Blu-Ray isos

  * DVD isos

  Currently the following items cannot be played from network:

  * PS3 games in JB directory format (planned for 5.1 release)

  * PSP isos (planned for 5.1 release)

  * PS2 isos (planned, but we cannot estimate the version)

  Although Cobra doesn't restrict the isos from being loaded through wifi, wifi is too slow for most uses, we recommend to use a wired connection.

- Optimized a bit the read of PS3 isos (15-20% gain in external disk, not noticeable in internal disk)

- Added dynamic firmware version spoofer capabilities. You can set the spoof in mmCM settings. As Sony release new firmwares, the spoofer can be updated by updating mmCm, without

  need of updating Cobra USB fw. No system files are modified by the version spoofer, all take place in ram.

Awesome spoofer support, I've always like the way dongles spoofed (without the need to make changes to the system FW)


Edit: shhh possible NFW v4CE
Edit: possible dev_blind update pack for those already on NFW v3-CobraUSB, still shhh

Not sure what I am doing wrong but I can't seem to see anything on the PC. I am showing ps3serv running and i get the client connection message and then /PS3ISO but then i get nothing or my PS3 just stalls. Also I can never get it to see the DVDISO folder.

Any suggestions? Maybe I small guide?

Not working for me too.
1. I've created folders (PS3ISO, PSXISO etc.).
2. In a ps3serv gui pointed folder.
3. Created net_host connection on PS3.
4. Got "Connection with client" in ps3serv on PC.
5. PROFIT...Nothing in mmCM.

Please, small guide.

trying to play from network? Not working?

I tried to play via network & running into a few problems

1. When I click on PS3NETSRV.exe it appears for like a 1 second & dispears in a flash? Not sure why it's doing that? I'm running WINDOWS 64 BIT professional.

If someone could type out a step by step guide on how to do this or do a Tutorial Vid. It would be greatly appreciated. There was NO READ ME in the PS3NETSRV.exe folder.

Here is what I did:

1) Pick a folder which will be used for sharing: I created a folder called H:\PS3_ROOT
2) Created the subfolders for different type of content: BDISO, DVDISO, PS3ISO, PSXISO, PSPISO, PICTURE, VIDEO, MUSIC
3) Double click the ps3netsrv_GUI.exe to start the GUI
4) Click the box under "Folder to share" and selected my folder H:\PS3_ROOT
5) Click [Start] button



If everything is okay, a black window will appear with message "Waiting for client..."



6) Go to my PS3 and in SETTINGS -> Network Servers I added my PC as /net_host0. I set the IP address of my PC and used the default port 38008. Make sure that you find the IP address of your computer and even better - using a STATIC IP ADDRESS will make it easier for you, because it will not change between PC restarts.



7) After you complete step 6 - you should see the messages in the black-box "Connection from ****" where **** is your PS3's IP address.

In case you don't have "Connection from..." message, make sure that your WINDOWS FIREWALL is either disabled or it allows incoming connections to the selected port (in our case the default 38008). Also check if you entered the IP address correctly.

That's it. I guess I was helpful!

Tip: If you want to save yourself a bit of time next time you need the ps3netsrv, just create a simple .bat or .cmd file (I created one called ps3.cmd) and save it in the same folder where ps3netsrv.exe is saved. You can see mine in the first screenshot.

Just put this single line in your cmd/bat file and save the file:

ps3netsrv.exe . 38008

Pay attention that there is a DOT "." before the port. You can also use any other path and replace the dot if you wish, but that's not necessary. The next time you can simply start the ps3.cmd by double clicking on it and you won't have to use the ps3netsrv_GUI.exe.
