Is it worth upgrading from 3.55 CFW (explanation inside)

I have had a dead blue ray drive for some time now and have only been able to play games that are able to be played discless.

If I upgrade to a 4.XX CFW will I still be able to play the old games discless and will it allow to play a slightly larger selection of games or is my best bet to stay on 3.55 for now?

I believe compatibility is slightly better on 4.xx CFW, although I'm probably thinking of DEX.

Have you considered REX because it allows quick switching from CFW 4.21 REX (spoofable to 4.30) to DEX.

I've considered DEX before but no one has been able to confirm to me whether the BD emulation works without a functioning blu-ray drive

I believe Kmeaw has left the scene a long time ago so you'll be waiting a while.

@screw_ball69 you can play all games discless already, I'll find the link and post it. Nevermind, I see it's been posted.
