Developer Alexander from openmodding team has just released a new Version of his FERROX CFW.
I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED PS3s, THERMONUCLEAR WAR AND UNICORNS FLYING AROUND YOUR HOUSE! 🙂
YOU WILL NEED FIRMWARE 3.55 OR A CFW INSTALLED ON YOUR PS3. ALL CFW COMPATIBLE CONSOLES CAN BE FOUND HERE.IT NEEDS TO BE DOWNGRADABLE TO 3.55.
FERROX CFW is a so called Dual-Boot CFW. Dual Boot firmwares are a slightly modified version of Official Firmware for CFW Users. This firmware will act and behave the same ways as an Official Firmware but allow for CFW Users to return back to CFW when they choose to. The advantage of this firmware is that it allows CFW user’s to play their disc games with less risk of getting banned when playing online. BUT THERE IS STILL THE RISK OF GETTING BANNED SO I ADVISE YOU TO NOT PLAY ONLINE WITH CFW. Here are the Features
