Released of course by long time very solid scene developer Waninkoko!
Here is Waninkoko read me for his wonderful release:
DESCRIPTION:
This Custom Firmware for the PS3 increases the system features of your console to
allow the installation and execution of homebrew applications.
This Custom Firmware could allow too the loading of legal copies (backups) using
these new included features.
We don't support and condone the usage of illegal copies.
We are not responsible for any damage for the usage of this Custom Firmware.
INSTALLATION:
1. Download PS3 Firmware 3.55 (PS3UPDAT.PUP file).
2. Patch PS3UPDAT.PUP file with the patch included in this package using the "bsdiff" tool (Binary diff).
3. Install the patched PUP file like a normal firmware update.
(in case you're already in 3.55 you need to install it in recovery mode).
Please note, there has been many reports of 'bricking' by users, mostly the 60gb models, but we suggest you read this WHOLE thread before deciding if this 'release' is right for you, and to learn safe recovery ways and proper installation of this PUP!
