To quote, roughly translated: "Very soon after its released version 4.00 debug Sony decides to release a Firmware 4.01 for stamped its consoles Test / Debug. We remind you that this type of firmware is not installed on the consoles so-called "Retail" we just buy in the store.

No changelog available at this time. See us before long a 4.01 in our living room, only time will tell. The file is available for download if you want to update your console to Test / Debug."

As always, these PUP updates will currently NOT install on a retail PS3, and so they are intended for examination and comparison purposes only.

We have 100% confirmed that running this updater on a retail PS3 will not damage it, however, it will give the following error before the installation completes: The data type is not supported. (8002F029)

WOAH, sorry i have been out of the ps3 scene a while and i have this old ps3 on 3.55 sitting here and another for online, if i truly can go online with the debug console and run homebrew should i do this? (and yes i have a fairly good understanding of the ps3's infrastructure.)

Funny how people wanna install things they dont know much about. Before you ask if you could, read the post properly and then ask yourself if you should ? Devkits are made for game developers who want to test functions/ compatibilitys/ capabilities (online & offline) to iron out any bugs before release. Buying a dev console is much rarer & pricier then your normal run of the mill consoles. (there often leased or sold to publishers for around 20k) and although youll be able to get online itll be on the dev servers so you cant play with friends or sync your trophys to an environment thatll count.

you cant go online as you will be connected to the dev servers and you cant get trophy info, friends names, or even gaming online...
