PS3 Custom Firmware
Evilnat has released the custom firmware 4.93 for the PS3.
The available versions of the CFW
We basically differentiate between 3 versions:
CEX: Consumer (Retail) Version- The common version for 97% of users. So if you are not a developer, you should install this version.PEX: Ported DEX version- incorporates features and modules from DEX firmware, effectively porting DEX functionalities to a CEX environment.
D-PEX: Debug Ported DEX- includes functionalities ported from CEX firmware, enabling users with DEX consoles to access features typically found in CEX firmware.
NoBD (CEX/DEX): for consoles with defective bluray drive
NoBT (CEX/DEX): for consoles with a defective bluetooth module
NoBD+NoBT (CEX/DEX): for consoles with defective bluray drive and defective bluetooth module
Installing the firmware
If you are already on custom firmware, no matter what version, or on original firmware not higher than 3.55, you can easily install the CFW with a USB stick (FAT-32) via the XMB. The recovery menu is not necessary for this.
However, if you have installed original firmware with a version higher than 3.55 up to maximum version 4.92, you must first downgrade (assuming you have a suitable PS3). You can find more information about this in this post.
