The custom firmwares on 3.55 is progressing nicely. You can play backups from an external hard drive just as before and it being on the new firmware allows you to play newer games without having to do anything. On top of that, the syscalls patch is being implemented into backup managers so all you have to do is boot the console and launch the BM ... Without a dongle. If you do not like the new custom firmwares, you can always downgrade back to 3.41 using your dongle.

Being on the jailbreak firmware, you can still play your previous backups and the newer games, if they work after patching.

seriously though - try doing some reading on the forums before creating another post. there are already a ton of answers to your exact question on here. i spent a good 2-3 days reading up before i made my modifications.
