    PS3 Custom Firmware to be Released Soon?

    Due to the OtherOS feature being removed due to Gehot, he has decided to fix the problem by releasing his own custom firmware. I'm somewhat leery about this, as I want to make sure it won't be a problem with future official PS3 updates, but if it proves not to be, I plan on upgrading using this. Opinions?

    Is there an actual plan of release (i.e. a rough date) yet?
    It's been announced for a while now, but that's about it.

    Is it true that the 3.21 is causing lots of problems, like DRE, freezes, ... ?

    I just got my PS3 and it came with 3.01. I was thinking on updating it to 3.15, but i want to know if it's a ok firmware? 3.21 seems like a bugged firmware.

    A-Spec level: 28 / B-Spec level: 13
    Current car: Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Final Prototype 2014
    Number of cars on garage: 94 ( Check my Garage HERE )
    B-Spec driver shared: N.Schumacher - Class 13
    ## Cars available for trade : 2x Toyota CELICA XX 2800GT '81 ) ##

    I would stick to 3.01 till you have to absolutly update, to stick to the firmware you are currently on, as far as i currently know its safe to update to 3.20, but there is really nothing new, they have just removed stuff

    His post count is all fluff. Only 1/3 of them were even remotely useful to the subject at hand.

    If it's a BD-R, no, not on a retail.

    If it's a test disc (pressed on a silver), then yes, it'll work just fine on a retail. That said, if it *is* a test disc then it should be identical in content to the final shipped product.

    So it would seem that you have little to worry about. ;)
