PS3 NFW (Newbie Friendly Ware) v3.55 Custom Firmware Arrives

PS3 NFW is basically like PS3 MFW or CFW... so no, it doesn't allow PSN access.

Using this now, wondering if I would still be able to play online with this NFW? Is there any chance of my ps3 being bricked?

Very nice! Can't work out if the 3.70 spoof PUP has region change built in or if the region change PUP has 3.70 spoof built it - I would potentially need both features tbh.

Loving the cinavia workaround feature too

thanks man
