The Cobra-USB Dongle was recently released on April 11th and while we wait for our review sample to arrive, the Cobra-USB team has published the dongle's user manual. The manual gives a glimpse of how some of the great new features will work with the new dongle. One feature many users are looking forward to is how the new PSX backup method will work.

Manual: Making PSX backups
Start Cobra USB Manager from XMB.
Press square three times to change to PSX mode.
Insert an original PSX game or a backup in a CD-R disc. It will appear at the beginning of the list.
Select it, press circle, and choose the destination device from the list. Wait for the copy to complete. If the game only contains the data track, the backup will be in iso format; if It contains more tracks, cue/bin format will be used instead.
Playing PSX backups
Start Cobra USB Manager from XMB.
Press square three times to change to PSX mode.
Choose the backup from the list and press X. You need a disc inserted. Any type of disk will
work.
Cobra USB Manager will mount the backup and exit. You can start the psx game backup from
the XMB.
The first time a psx backup is going to be played, you will be prompted to install psx support. This
process overwrites a system text file only used in jailbreak mode, and it only needs to be done once.
Cobra USB Manager uses the following directories to load/write PSX backups:
/dev_hdd0/PSXISO
/dev_usbXXX/PSXISO
Allowed format are:
Iso (mode 2/2352).
Cue+bin. Data track must be mode 2/2352.
Cue+bin+wav is not supported: audio tracks in wav files are ignored.
Playing PSX backups in CD-R
Cobra USB allows PSX backups in CD-R discs to be transparently started from XMB without the need of
Cobra USB Manager. However, PSX support must be installed first if it hasn’t be done yet.
To install PSX support, start Cobra USB Manager, switch to PSX mode, insert your CD-R backup, and
press X

Conclusion: So, from the look of it, it’s almost certain that the patches they’ve used to the built-in PSX emulator is removing the checks as a whole or they just patch the LV2 heavily in the process. Whatever it is, expect the PSX patches, payloads been released as soon as someone got a hand of the dongle. Not sure if it would be available for 3.55 though because the dongle is only compatible with 3.41 firmware.
