Cobra Updates once again!

did Dean sell the rights to MM to the Cobra team? We haven't heard from him in a while and they get new updates.. Just wondering.

MM is open source and does not require people to buy a license to use/modify it. The only requirement is for the modified version to include the original GPL license, which MM-Cobra Edition does. Dean has already stated he is fine with Cobra building onto Multiman since it now allows Cobra users to use it, which is good for the community.

The "new" updates MM-Cobra Edition is getting are based on Cobra's features, which require you to have their dongle.

Cobra has had these features a long time now, and are simply updating MultiMAN to support it's features, so users don't have to use Cobra's own crappy backup manager anymore.

If your waiting for Cobra to release a free version of MultiMAN that supports all of Cobra's exclusive features, why do you think they charge for their dongle? That's not going to happen, folks.

Just stating the obvious here.

This dongle still doesnt allow 3.60+ firmware game playablity unlike true blue so whats the point ??

The ability to play PS1, PS2 and PSP games from HDD? And the ability to play PS3 games on the external drive even if they have files > 4GB. Some of those games that have black screen problems or just won't work, work just fine in Cobra's ISO format.

You also get the neat feature of playing DVD/Bluray complete ISO files.

That sounds like some pretty solid features to me. Can True Blue do that? No.

Also, Cobra's dongle is half the price of a True Blue dongle.

I can get a lot more value from games I never got the chance to play on the PS1, PS2 and PSP (and even replay them now in 1080p on my big TV) than I will get from playing the 3-4 games I'm interested in that's 3.60+...

Also, if the keys are ever released to the public, it should be easy for Cobra to add the keys into their CFW (and for people without a dongle). Then everyone could play 3.60+ games. It is more likely that this would happen before we see other CFWs with cobra's exclusive features.

Lol.... Playing a PS1 game on the PS3 does not make it upscale. I've checked, it keeps it's original resolutions I imagine it is the same with PS2 and PSP games. Not sure what makes you think it goes up to 1080p.

Even with the keys Cobra have no intention of releasing any of their dongle's features for free on a CFW.

I don't think you understand what I was saying. If the keys become public domain, any CFW can have support for 3.60+ games, and since 3.60+ game support is the only unique feature of True Blue, the dongle would be devalued considerably.

As for the 1080p, playing these games do look better through the PS3 and it upscales, actually. I can pull out some retail PS2 discs, pop em in, and appreciate the larger image with smoothing enabled.

It looks better than what you would see with an original PS1/PS2 connected, using those out-dated composite cables. It would look really jagged on a big TV, where as on the PS3 it uses a smoothing filter to make it look more decent on a large HDTV like what people use now.

In my opinion it looks better.

Cobra are just another team closing the PS3 scene down. If they wanted to drive the scene forward they would ditch the dongle and just release the software. Instead just like the TB team they have decided they want money for their work so released it with a drm dongle.

You fail to realize, that cobra is made by the same maker of true blue, look at the internal chips, fpga, etc...

"they want money for their work", I guess you work for free, if
