I’m on Evilnat 4.90 on a PS3 slim CECH 2101A which firmware do I update to? Rebug Toolbox says I'm on CEX but I have no idea which one to download. I'm trying to update to 4.91.2 Evilnat Cobra on PSX PLACE which one do I download and install on my PS3?

Ok, I did not know the difference between the different ones. What does PEX do?
PEX -> Retail console, CEX + DEX kernel
CEX -> Retail console, CEX kernel only (normal)
D-PEX -> Debug/Converted console, DEX + CEX kernel
DEX -> Debug Converted console, DEX kernel only

Hello. Newbie here! I am in a similar situation but on PC with RPCS3 emulator on Linux and I would like to know which of the firmware I should be installing between the CEX, PEX, DEX firmwares. I ran into a challenge running Need For Speed (gotten from the rpcs3 website). It is too slow to even launch fully. So, i thought to search for alternative firmware and came on here. I am hoping it is a firmware issue. I would appreciate any help on this.

Update: so, I went ahead to install the CEX CFW and the NFS actually loaded faster but it is still slow and not really playing. It has been compiling shaders since forever.

    @BigOnYa i was legitimately trying to scratch my leg, this is reminding me of that cylinder post
  • Scarlet @ Scarlet:
    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    People always yap about oh but you loose pixels but yeah it won't look awful either
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I like filters :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Filters are why you don't go on 2nd dates
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol nahhh it's because I usually get what they want on the first date lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I swear if I hear "I don't usually do this on the first date" on more time... I am going to start counting
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I bought you McDonald's even tho you lied about your pics I still deserve this
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    No no continue, I hear these things women say so often I decided to start counting
