PUP MD5: 4ea0375a93cd888afbdf8797bb1a9d4f
To quote from LizZo via @dodero4 at CyberModding.it on this latest release, roughly translated: Release - Custom Firmware FERROX 4.82 v1.01 COBRA 7.55
Here is the new release we promised you! The new v1.01 of the FERROX COBRA comes with general improvements, both internal to FERROX and COBRA. In fact, the dear Developer Alexander includes in its Custom Firmware the COBRA Payloads updated to the new 7.55 version.
The new COBRA version solves a Bug created with the addition of the Homebrew Blocker. We had initially discovered the Bug of the game data installation during the last tests on the FERROX 4.82. We discovered another one during the FERROX tests.
The problem is access to storage space after disabling the Syscalls. It did not allow to erase game data and also applications / homebrew, and perhaps also other related issues. No access to the installation folder was allowed with Syscalls disabled.
After just a few tests, we can ascertain that the problem has been solved. For complete changelogs, you can view them below:
