Do you think this will work on CFW 4.90?
 
So while surfing the web,i stumbled across some intresting video from PSM3, if any of you 90s kids remember, PSM or PlayStation Magazine,was a PlayStation Magazine published in the 90s during the PS1,PS2 and PS3 era,which usualy came bundled with demo discs.

During the PlayStation3 launch in 2006, PSM received a Pre-Production Debug PlayStation3,from the looks of it and the chassis transparency it doesnt look like a DECHA00A, although it has the Debug functionality enabled, although it looks like a CBEH1000 or a CBEH1100, anyway the model doesnt matter,but what its worth looking its the Pre-Production XMB shipped with it, from the looks of it its either a 0.090 or a 0.095 XMB, notice the different Start-Up tune, the delayed Sony Computer Entertaniment Coldboot, and the PLAYSTATION3 Gameboot wave transparency without any sound, neat stuff for devs to explore and recreate.

If either of you have knowledge on what version of the firmware it might be, your contribution its greatly appreciated

- Pre-Production XMB In-Depth

- Pre-Production Start-Up
I would like that start-up too, does anyone know where to find it?
