Playing backups of PS3 games while connected to the internet can be seriously risky business. However, KW's PSNPatch has done a pretty incredible job of making the process as risk free as humanly possible. This most recent update cuts back on the amount of syscalls used by the app and the plugin, so it should be safer to use. There's even a specialized build of webMAN included to make your XMB launching experience even better. Check out the full release notes below!

[v2.01] 29/12/2013:

• PSNPatch plugin updated to display message when cfw is disabled (uses deank's webman 1.27 show_msg() code - thank's);
• webMAN 1.27 special version included (unloads from memory when cfw is disabled);

If previous versions of those plugins are in use, remove and install from psnpatch interface.

[v2.00] 28/12/2013:

• PSNpatch cobra plugin updated to delete execution history;
• PSNPatch plugin unloads istelf from memory after disabling syscalls.
• PSNPatch plugin safety: disable every plugin and reboot.
• PSNPATCH plugin waits 20 secs at startup to avoid conflicts with other plugins
• Optional cobra stealth extensions for a perfect cfw disabling (entire syscall table will be reset to OFW).
• PSNPatch interface can install and remove:
  
  • PSNPatch plugin (disable cfw / spoof idps & psid / deletes history / unloads from memory);
  • Cobra stealth extensions;
  • webMAN special edition (unloads from memory with psnpatch);
  • XMB webMAN support (add "my games" and remove "app_home" from XMB);
• Reviewed support for fan control payloads, but using psnpatch at the same time it is still not recommended (please test and comment);
• Released as 1 ZIP file with 2 packages: Normal and Stealth
• Plugin is not distributed separately.
• Official distribution ONLY in Tortuga Cove !
• (Note for cobra advanced users and devs: don't fiddle with the "files" folder contents if you don't know what you're doing);

Functions reviewed and updated:

• Spoof IDPS & PSID;
• Process RAP & EDAT;
• Unlock PSN Demos;

IMPORTANT NOTE:

When syscalls are disabled, syscall dependent homebrew and payloads will stop working
(namely backup managers and fan controller payloads !!!)
