    o CECHA = 256MB
    o CECHB = 256MB
    o CECHC = 256MB
    o CECHE = 256MB
    o CECHG = 256MB
    o CECHH = 16MB
    o CECHJ = 16MB
    o CECHK = 16MB
    o CECHL = 16MB
    o CECHM = 16MB
    o CECHP = 16MB
    o CECHQ = 16MB

    * SLIM NAND SIZE
    o CECH-20..A = 16MB
    o CECH-20..B = 16MB
    o CECH-21..A = 16MB
    o CECH-21..B = 16MB
    o CECH-250.A = 16MB
    o CECH-250.B = 16MB
    o CECH-250.A = 16MB
    o CECH-250.B = 16MB
    o CECH-251.A = 16MB
    o CECH-251.B = 16MB

      Hum... It sounds realyy good, i will see you people testing and comment about this with my big open eyes.

      Lets see how the things follow...

      And for nooos the sponsor has brought a message...
      IT ENABLE BACKUP MANAGER TO 3.55!!!YOU CAN STOP CRY!!!YAY

      First important questions.
      This is compatible with last multimanager or we will have to wait one backup manager to be adapted to this version?
      With this we dont need dongles animore or still need the dongle to install the packages?
      All games worked with 3.41 with dongle will work with this CFW?

      Go go go to the tests
      I could help but i´m very afraid of update my precious 3.41 now.
      ^_^
