PS3 debug firmware 3.66 has today been leaked online.

The test kit only firmware was leaked by a hacker known as ConsoleDev however it can’t be used on any normal PlayStation 3 console, however it could lead to the creation of future custom firmwares.

One member of the forums was quick to mention that this couldn’t be turned into custom firmware directly.

“No, this does not mean CFW,” he said. “But this hopefully can be useful
to devs in establishing the future of CFW. This firmware is only for
developers, researchers and this will only work on TEST units.”

So could this leak prove to be the future of Custom PlayStation 3 firmware?
