    For those who have taken the leap to custom firmware above 3.55 might want to take a look at this. Dubbed the next Kmeaw of 4.30 CFW, or 4.21 with 4.30 spoofs, this custom firmware might be the next gen of firmware with the most game compatibility. Well that is what most comments via the sources below suggest. Even with the previous statements this firmware is not without bugs. Such bugs include the elusive XMB grouping bug. I bring this info to you without actually testing it myself. So those avid psx-scene members that are willing to give us some feedback would be appreciated. Mod on! Game on! and advance!


    About ErmaC 4.30 CFW v1.3:
    • More Stable than any other 4.30 CFW out there (Tested with numerous PS3, slim and phat models)
    • Can run games with the latest updates signed with Keys up to 4.30 without any patching needed
    • PSN enabled
    • Cinavia protection disabled
    • No "Demo Mode", XMB fully optimized so you can have the best performance with your console

    Changes since 1.2:
    • "Demo Mode" is now completely fixed, no more demo/kiosk fw messages*
    • Some more small bugs fixed, XMB is now fully optimized (XMB is faster than ever before, in-game or not) so you can now have the best performance with your PS3
    • A few cosmetic changes


    *If you still want to use PSHome please install 'PSHome_ErmaC_4.30_CFW.pkg' included in the package

    This CFW will not brick your PS3 System or Harddrive if you install it properly. Use it with caution, the author of this CFW will not be held responsible for any damage that may be caused to your system.

    You need to be on 3.55 ofw or cfw to install ErmaC CFW. Please downgrade using the proper procedures (999 downgrader from Rebug team is the best option) and after downgrading please install and run 'toggle_qa.pkg' on your PS3 before upgrading again to the new version.

    Use exactly the same precautions on upgrading/downgrading used on other CFWs to avoid any complication. Enjoy!

      The only thing I want now in 4.XX is the support of 2 HDD at a time like all 3.55 CFW. Anyways I saw this ErmaC 4.30 CFW few days ago. Will try it soon. If anyone has already installed it, please can you tell me, are the usb ports working at a time for HDD backups?

      Thanks to Tranced for bringing it to scene.

      if 3.55 is all you ever been on(or lower but not higher) then just go to recovery (aafter making a backup thru MM)

      Always from recovery when upgrading/downgrading for safest outcome.

      Can we get mirror(s) and an MD5 checksum? Also would the newer versions of multiman work with this, or would Dean have to come out with a new version?

      I'm on True Blue 3.55 v2.7, must I go back to OFW 3.55?
      Is this a better choice than Rogero and what is biggest diffrent?
      Must decrypt all the eboot patches who worked on 3.55 to get it to work on this one?

      at most this is a hybrid Roger/E3, it seems this gets updated directly after Rogero does his updating hmmm? If it does have multiMAN support than it has to be either E3 or Rogero as they are the only 4.30 CFWs with multiMAN support (REBUG/Rogero 4.21)

      It seems thats the other way around... This CFW was released saturday, Rogero updated his with the same changes yesterday...
      And they all seem to have the same base, the e3 fw.
