back up manager or custom firmware??

hi all, as you can see i am new to ps3 hax.. but i just sold my cechc03 4.21 ps3 and got a ps3 cechc03 3.55. and i have kmeaw's 3.55cfw with both rogero and multiman back up managers as i am testing them both out. i play all the sega and snes roms but cant get any new ps3 back ups to run. i have read up n tried many differnt ways but no luck. i plan to install linux in a few weeks aswell...

questions..

would it be easier for me to play the latest games on a bm or latest cfw?

if i update with cfw will i still be able to downgrade if i dont like it as my ps3 can not downgrade ofw?

and whats the general pros and cons to using bm to cfw?

thanks

A CFW is required/recommended to use any backup manager these days. Way back when people ran BM's on 3.41 OFW but now you need a CFW

ok thanks for the reply... i am allready on kmeaw 3.55cfw and i have both multiman and rogero bm's but it wont let me play the lastest games unless i am on 4.21 or something like that... does this mean i need a 4.21cfw? and my ps3 is not downgradeable does that go for cfw aswell as ofw?

thanks

You won't need a flasher, just use the tutorials on ps3 Hax or tortuga cove to upgrade to Rebug 4.21 or Rogero 4.30.
