PS3: CFW Evilnat 4.89.2 Beta released

Developer Evilnat has released CFW 4.89.2 Evilnat Beta, a custom firmware for PS3s based on the latest 4.89 firmware. This beta attempts to fix some XMB issues said to have been introduced by Sony’s latest OFW. From developer:

This BETA only has XMB layout fixes, I have another BETA that I’m testing first with more options in xai_plugin and more

Users who have tried this beta report that it works as expected.

What is CFW 4.89.2 Evilnat for PS3

Evilnat CFW is custom firmware for your PS3. It adds customization features to your hacked console.

A CFW adds several features for tinkerers in addition to what a HEN offers.

Specifically, Evilnat CFW includes the Cobra tool that allows:

  • Region Free BluRay
  • ISO assembly for BluRay/DVD/PS1/PS2/PS3*
  • Mounting ISOs and games over the network
  • ISOs can be split and still mounted to bypass the FAT32 4GB file limit on USB
  • PS1 backup discs work the same as retail discs
  • Launch any PSP ISO with Cobra PSP Launcher (compatibility is not 100%)*
  • Boot up PS2 ISOs any Console (HDD only, software emulator is not 100% compatible)
  • Never requires a real disc in the drive
  • Boot plugins (apps that run in the background at boot)
  • Dynamic firmware spoofing for mounted backups (apps don’t need updates for every firmware update)
