Can ps3 superslim instal this custom firmware?
No, no PS3 model beyond certain slim 25XXX versions can install custom firmware. A minimum factory firmware of 3.56 or below is required to install CFW, and so no super slim PS3s are compatible. You can still use HEN however.

Believe me i prefer HEN way over all CFW , because it is secure & faster .
 
Nice! Thank you!
Only one question: I have my CECHA01 PS3 running 4.86 Ferrox CFW and it doesn't boot PS2's disc-based backups (They were working perfectly in rebug cfw). Is the ps2_emu patched and I'm doing something wrong or maybe it doesn't support that function?
Thanks!
 
me podrian ayudar ? mi ps3 fat tiene la pantalla roja! y segun instalar un cfw es la solucion... es cierto?
 
I have question, plz help me .
I am on 4.82 ferrox and I've lost my "install pkg files". If I install this CFW, will I restore the "install pkg files" ??
 
Thanks to all the people that make this great CFW possible. I have a question, It is possible to make a function that can disable or deactivate Webman like Rebug CFW has? For example I want to use Artemis Homebrew for cheat in Ps3 games but Webman has a problem that restore the Ps3 when Artemis is activated and the game try to save. The solution with Ferrox CFW is unistall webman, but Rebug CFW can disable Webman. I know that is a hard work but maybe you can try to make it possible.
