A - Yes it surely does (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkLSX...layer_embedded)

6 - Can i play games on it?
A - At the moment no as he dint include in it ,backups dont work ,manager may work but games no

7 - Who should use it ?
A - Only try it if your on firmware 3.55 if your on lower firmware and dont want to loose ability of playing backup games dont update at the moment.


8 - Why can it run manager and not games
A - Manager may come under homebrew category but games are under other,in order to run games dev need to patch lvl 2 with required syscalls , and patching lvl 2 is pretty dangerous as it can brick your ps3 ,so have bit more patience before someone comes with a way.But according to multiman we soon can play games on it but the ratio will be 3 is to 10 so its not a good move to update if you dont wanna loose complete game playing ability.

9 - What is signing tool and what can it be used for?
A - Singing tool is piece of sofware which can be applied to an homebrew and than that homebrew is allowed to be run on ps3 ,ps3 in normal mode wont allow you to run anything if it doesn't have the requirement which is the master key (signature key) .When developers use this tool on their homebrew ps3 will see the signature matching and will allow it in,which in the end allows user to use any homebrew made.

4 - Do psn games work?
A - No none of them work excluding some demos.

5 - I am on 3.41 should i update?
A - No if you dont want to loose ability of playing jailbreak games,and once you update you cant go back to 3.41 so think before you update.

6 - When will be able to play backup games on cfw?
A - No one is sure of that it may take a week or month ,it depends all on the devs when they release it.

7 - What if i am on 3.55 should i try it
A - yea your free to use it but remember some users reporting that it takes away trophies and save data so make backup before trying,dont blame us than if anything goes wrong its your choice but i recommend not trying it as its pretty useless.
Update:if you use 3.55 cfw v2 no need for backing up trophies and save its fixed

ill give you simple example on key thing
When you have cheque book in order for anyone to withdraw money from your account using your check needs your signature on it or the bank wont accept similarly when something is made to run on ps3 like ps3 update it has a signature attach to it which tells the system yea i am this and this so allow me in when system see it matches the signature it allows it to run.Now when the keys are leaked anyone can make an homebrew and just apply the key,after you run it ps3 see the key matching so it allows it to run so barrier broken.Next Sony cant do anything about it atm as its very very complicated to block this kind of thing as the main roots are killed.When main roots of plants are cut they will simply die as lack of water etc.Now first they have to change the entire models by that i mean hardware built new hardware to block all this as its not easily patch through firmware update.
