Previously in the scene, only those with specialized hardware or Cobra custom firmware have been able to boot game ISO files. However that changes today with the "Mamba" payload found in Iris Manager 2.70. Essentially what it does is include only the necessary files for playing Cobra format games, and allows them to run on any 4.46 or 4.53 CEX custom firmware. There is also limited plugin support as well. Check out a translation of the changelog below!

What's New in version 2.70:

- Added 'Mamba' payload for CFW 4.46 (non-Cobra) and 4.53 (Habib)

'Mamba' is a version of the payload Cobra (stage2) that can be launched from Iris Manager
to support ISOs and PS3 games and some of the features of Cobra payload (it loads the plugins
internally, ignoring the list), but it does not support the PSP and PS2 emulators.

'Mamba' does not exclude a possible [future] CFW Cobra: detects whether a Cobra payload is loaded
and inhibits itself in that case. It can also be differentiated by the function sys8_mamba()
(if returned 0x666, is Mamba).

- Fixed some minor bugs (file sizes shown on Archive Manager and a forgotten mount/unmount of BDVD)
