PS3: CFW Evilnat 4.89 Cobra 8.3 (CEX) released
Developer Evilnat has released CFW 4.89 Evilnat, a Custom Firmware for PS3s based on the latest firmware 4.89.
What is CFW 4.89 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)

Can you run it on super slim?
First
Is this better than Rebug’s cfw?
1st! are this cfw works in super slim ps3?
This can not be installed on systems that previously could not use CFW. For those use HEN so any 3000 and super slims can’t use this. As for better then Rebug it is as good as Rebug Lite with a few extra features but they all share the same patches
Thanks bro ! 🙂
i am on 4.81v2 or something in this neighborhood (can’t remember cause I’ve been playing with my PS5 lately) and i never
(i mean it really never ever up until now) connected it to PSN!
i want to sync trophies with my current PS5 account but i am afraid my PS3 got banned. any advice on this front on how to do that?
Salut à tous et merci pour cette news j’ai testé ce CFW comme d’habitude je désactive les syscalls pour pouvoir me connecter au PSN le problème et qu’à partir du moment où je les désactive il m’est impossible de lancer un jeu je suis obligé de redémarrer la console pour pouvoir lancer un jeu en fait pour être clair c’est soit je me connecte au PSN ou soit je lance un jeu impossible de faire les deux en même temps est-ce normal ?
