PS3 Developer @esc0rtd3w has released the latest update to PS3HEN with support to recent firmware update of 4.92. Along with the PS3HEN update is the release of Hybrid Firmware (HFW), which is just an official firmware (4.92) with the "silk_webkit.sprx" file replace from 4.82 OFW (that has a vulnerability patched in 4.83 OFW, the last attempt Sony made to curb homebrew). HFW was created by @Joonie and has been apart of this 4.92 release of well.
There have been a number of new changes in this update marked v3.4.0 as it does not just provide 4.92 support but various changes as seen in the changelog provided
When we see the release of @bguerville's PS3 Toolset very soon for 4.92 we will see an alternative method for PS3HEN user's with the new File Explorer feature, that will provide expanded features to the toolset for all, one of them for PS3HEN user's being the ability to replace the "silk_webkit.sprx" file without the need of HFW installation. More on that will revealed when we see the 4.92 update roll out for the ps3 toolset.
