About 4.30 DEX

4.30 DEX: Do *NOT* install this on a converted machine, it will result in a brick. There is a check on eid0(!) in lv1ldr, that will trigger a panic (fun fact: it's impossible to generate the checked data yourself, so no cex2dex without ugly patches anymore).

As always, keep in mind these PUP updates will currently NOT install on a retail PS3, and so they are intended for examination and comparison purposes only.

We have 100% confirmed that running this updater on a retail PS3 will not damage it, however, it will give the following error before the installation completes: The data type is not supported. (8002F029)

Hi Guys,

I tried to play Tomb Raider by using Multiman on my PS3 with 4.21 DEX, but when i try to start the game on XMB appears black screen and i have to restart the console. How can fix the game wich request the 4.31 OFW?

Try enabling BD Mirror

[VogrBurn]

I tried to emulate with Fake BD Emu but it doesn't work

[CODGlitcha]

I really like the debug CFW of PS3ITA however is there or could somebody remove the following options by making them hidden:

App_home
Install packages
Debug options

Also:

Version name spoofed to 4.40
Ability to play backups removed.
Just runs homebrew but still have debug functions

Basically I want someone to edit ps3ita by disabled the above 3 options but still allow it to run debug functions i.e. debugger and only capable of running homebrew.

Don't please ask me why but its my preferences and by the way I'm a noob at this.
