Developer Evilnat has published an update to his 4.88 CFW Evilnat, a Custom Firmware for PS3s based on the latest firmware 4.88. Evilnat 4.88.2 fixes some bugs, adds a bunch of new features, and xai_plugin translations for a few new languages. Details below.

What is CFW 4.88.2 Evilnat for PS3

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

Although most users will probably be satisfied with “just” running the recently released HEN for 4.88, a CFW adds multiple features for tinkerers.

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 theCobra PSP Launcher(compatibility is not 100%)*
• Launch PS2 ISOs onanyconsole (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)
