If you play online, you shouldn't use mods anyway unless you wish to get your idps and/or your psn account banned. If you can't use Cobra/Mamba for whatever reason, like not having working BD daughterboard connected.Ģ. I can think of only 2 cases where JB might be preferred to iso.ġ. Really appreciate the clarifications.Ĭlick to expand.JB is a legacy format from the days when we didn't have Cobra or Mamba.

I want to run with as few modifications to a game as possible just for peace of mind. I'm gonna wait a few days before I attempt to go online with BO2, namely to read further into weather or not antiban is truly necessary and that these games look for on a CFW to weigh my options.

I also searched for BF4 eboot builders and none of them included an antiban option, so it's most likely that it isn't necessary for the game. I searched and indeed found, thanks for the tip. I also didn't consider simply repacking the ISO if necessary. Granted I have a 500gb HDD in mine, I'm kind of a miser when it comes to that. Is the benefit in I/O noticeable? Like, faster loading speeds or seek times? Furthermore, what mandatory hacks ? From what I've come to understand, if you use ISO you end up losing a fair chunk of HDD space across several games due to ISO size standards. Some are even brazen enough to not use protection of any kind and haven't been banned either, and the clear and consistent message I've seen is "Don't be a tool and cheat or run homebrew while on PSN." Which games have you went online with that supposedly required an antiban eboot? This is pretty much what I've gathered from doing a few searches on this forum. I just want to be sure the JB vs ISO debate is something I'm not overlooking. I'm looking to mitigate the 99% chance here, and I've already taken all other precautions such as PSNPatch and various other methods of due diligence.

I'm not looking to cheat, and furthermore it seems like having the hack just sitting there not being used is good enough for a potential ban also. Also, every antiban eboot I find has some damn hack menu added too it and I don't want any of that. From what I've read, BO2 is guaranteed to need an antiban eboot, but I still can't find anything definitive on Battlefield. Thing is, don't you have to have the game in JB format to replace the eboot with the modified one? It's namely BO2 that I still play with friends on the odd occasion, along with Battlefield 4. I finally decided to get a teensy to flash my slim to the most current Rebug (Which was a success) but now I've learned that some games that I own can flag you for a ban just by running them, and using antiban eboots are highly recommended. Via Google, some say that either format doesn't matter anymore, however others are saying that ISO is totally the way to go namely for ban prevention.
