I'm leaning towards no they won't work, at least not now. As far as I understand it, you would have to go back to CEX if you want to do backups.

need dex eboots and/or unsigned maybe too, i hear. maybe a un-signer app soon..?

Backups will work, but you must first obtain unencrypted eboots (I think people call them "debug") for each game and then use Sony's tools to format a USB drive that can be only read on the PS3 and then install the games using Sony's process. You can have up to 4 games at a time and they have to be for the < 3.55 firmware.

I believe DeanK's MM DEX Launcher then can be used to launch your 4 games, but could be mistaken.

The exact process is long and various tools are required. A general explanation of the process has been explained by DeanK, but I neglected to save the link.

Nice release, but I'll wait until the average joe ( like myself ) can actually do something worthwhile with a Dex machine, I think for now Dex only benefits real Dev's and those who actually know what they're doing. I'll just take a back seat and see what happens... But nice to see easier methods being released, keep up the good work guys this is what the scene needs.

I'm going to keep waiting I don't understand the benefits of doing this just yet

The key benefits are really for hardcore developers, but for the normal user here is what you can get out of CEX-DEX.

(1) You can upgrade to the latest DEX firmware version (say 4.11) and then you can play 4.11 original store bought games.

(2) You can then downgrade back to CFW 3.55 and play your homebrew and warez.

If I were an average user who did have CFW I would find the process of constantly swapping firmwares tired some, but that is my opinion. Hey I'm on OFW so no worries ^^

Fixed it for you buddy.

Due to the fact there is no public method to obtain such mentioned keys you can only play <= 3.55 with specially signed eboots even then you're still limited to 4 games. If such method was public we would have 3.56+ games with the current 3.55 CFW's. Nothing has changed regarding that fact.

DEX will not allow 3.60+ backups just by flashing it. It is also not clear if the current 3.55 fixed eboots will run, but I doubt it due to the fact you need a debug eboot for <= 3.55 for each <= 3.55 game you will wish to play under DEX.

In a nutshell DEX is currently not a really good option for playing backups.

I'd also appreciate it if my quote was not edited. It's a quote for a reason.

Here is DeanK's response to playing backups on DEX. Notice you cannot play 3.56+

Here is a very long detailed post about what the DEX can and cannot do. Notice again you cannot run 3.56+ backups.
