Cobra ODE User Manual v2.0
19
Enabling that option will make the manager appear as a Blu-Ray disc to the PS3,
increasing even more the stealth for the more paranoid users. Note however that doing so
will only give you access to the ODE Browser through the Video category of the XMB and
will disable access to the Browser from the Game section of the XMB.
Note that the PS3 has a limit of
100 items in the browser for the Game category
and
200
items in the browser for the Video category
. If you have more than 100 *.iso files, it is
suggested to use the ODE Browser from the Video category of the XMB, and if you have
more than 200 *.iso files, it is suggested to use the Cobra Manager instead.
Should you wish to return to the Cobra ODE browser in order to choose another game or
homebrew application, then simply eject the disc via the XMB and reinsert it, or in the case
of the 4k series PS3, slide the door cover open and then closed again. You can however
disable this and have the PS3 return to the manager after each reboot by enabling the
manager.on_reboot=1
option in the cobra.cfg configuration file.
Starting from Cobra ODE 1.6 update, you can also return to the Cobra ODE manager by
selecting the
“Remove disc” option from the XMB. The option is available for fat and slim models by
pressing the Triangle button in the disc icon in the XMB.
As with the
Game category
browser the auto-generated
Video category
browser is a bit
slower that the browser in previous versions. That is because the browser is built on the fly
and effectively eliminates the need for the genps3extra program since ISOs are scanned
every time the HDD is connected to Cobra ODE.
