Homebrew Do I have a DEX, CEX or PEX CFW?

WiiU_user · Mar 20, 2023

I have a PS3 on which I installed CFW a while ago (Evilnat Cobra). It's on Firmware version 4.88. Now that Firmware 4.90 released I want to install a new CFW version, but I am unsure whether my PS3 is CEX or DEX or PEX or something else. I read that you can check in rebug tools but I don't have them since I'm on Evilnat. I wanted to open Cobra toolbox but it somehow disappeared and only Ultimate Toolbox is showing.
So my question is:

How can I check what kind of CFW version I have and how can I safely update my PS3 to 4.90?

Thanks in Advance

I'm pretty sure you're on cex. I don't think pex or dex existed on 4.88. even if you didn't know, the system wouldn't allow you to install dex on cex or vice versa anyway. pex is like rebug rex, so there's one you can install on cex; one on dex. don't worry, there are safeguards in place by sony themselves.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll try to install the cex cfw version.

Thank you! I've updated my CFW and everything works fine.
