what FW

[Concelor]

First let me apologize if this has been posted before
I searched the forums but couldn't figure out teh proper search criteria to get the answer

I want to play Arcania Hearts 3, currently I'm at 3.41 and haven't real done much with PS3 JB-ing since the Ti-84 trick
Is there any benefit to staying at 3.41 anymore
Or to play games like Arcania Hearts 3 and maybe the Sly Cooper collection do I have to upgrade
Or are there all the cool tricks like CFW and such for 3.41

Thanks

Ok seriously, normally I'm not a douche, but every single question you asked could have been found with maybe 3 searches tops, and 2 minutes of your time.

So get to it. Here's a little reading material: http://psx-scene.com/forums/f187/%5B...me-sexy-76406/

Normally I don't respond to comments like that, especially when I already apologized for making it, in the first sentence
But I like this scene
I did look
My main question isn't about installing a CFW those are peppered throughout and sticky-ed everywhere
My question if you read it is what are the benefits/disadvantages of losing 3.41

and after searching here and over at ps3hax.net with terms like "3.41 vs 3.55" "3.41 benefits" "3.55 disadvantages" don't really help if people don't use those terms in their posts
I searched for 3 hours on this board ps3hax and google itself

I'm just worried that if I leave 3.41 that I could lose something, like when I upgrade my 360 with the latest FW and the next day they announce Jtaging

can you downgrade with a ti84? I think you can now. If you can then no worries but the slim (maybe phat too I don't know) formats the HDD when you downgrade. Backup the HDD and Flash using FTP or a file manager.

There is no advantage to 3.41 now that CFW 3.55 is out and stable. The reason alot of people wanted to stay with 3.41 was the stability of hermes 4b payload. The stability of 3.55 is there now when running Waninkoko v2 (haven't tried my self yet) and kmeaw with the latest GAIA or multiMAN.

Take the plunge and try CFW 3.55 they work pretty darn good and you don't need a dongle or to getup from the couch to press power+eject and then plug in your external drive. Just push the PS button on the controller and game away. Plus there is better game compatibility, online play (for a few more days), you can download the latest game patches, and no more modified eboots.

Of course if you love 3.41 then use hermes 3.41 CFW and once again no dongle.

Ohh... The worst part about people saying 'Just Search' if you are not familiar with the site you don't know what to search for. But on the flip side if you do read the site daily all you see is the same 20 questions over and over and it is tuff not to be a douche.

I liked that line so much I made it my signature :P

best of luck choosing a firmware. But if you can downgrade try them all except 3.56 and you'll know for sure which is best.

peace dude.

LOL, That IS a great signature...
