Download the MinVerChk PUP file and run it on your PS3. If your minimum firmware version is 3.56 or lower, congrats, your PS3 is CFW compatible!

Check the model number on the back of your PS3. If it's a FAT model (most likely CECHA, CECHB, CECHC, etc.), you鈥檙e in luck as most are compatible. For Slim models, look for versions with CECH-20xx or CECH-21xx. Super Slims? Sorry, they're mostly out of the running!

Personal experience here: I checked my PS3 Slim鈥檚 model (CECH-2001A), ran MinVerChk, and confirmed it was compatible! Now I'm enjoying custom firmware features. Just make sure to follow guides carefully!

Slim and FAT models are generally the best bets for CFW compatibility; Super Slims, not so much.
