Hi Guys,

i am following the scene for a while now and I am very glad I found this forum. It helped me a lot. Thanks so far...

I am facing an issue with my cobra usb dongle. I am trying to get a ps3 iso running via nethost and it just don't work. I even created a ps3 iso with the PS3 and transferred it to the nethost. But it won't start. I always get an error message, that this operation is not allowed. See attached error message. I am an absolute noob and am not able to find out the root cause. Maybe it is an easy issue. Please help.

Thanks in advance

I don't believe it works for homebrew created into ISO. Have you actually tried a PS3 Game created into an ISO image.

I use genps3iso_v2.0 to create it on my pc.

Hi all, i'm having trouble getting win 7 to "see" it how do i get win 7 to update it?

[windrider42]

In Win 7 , make sure to Choose driver manually.

When you choose manually, only go as far as C:\Cobra USB\Cobra-USB_Updater_v2.0\driver, then click ok.

You can also install the PS3 updater, and update on your PS3 as well.
