* This could be and this was the reason why I posted my PS3's Guarantee Card on [[1.10 CEX]]. My console was bought by the end of December with [[1.10 CEX]] pre-installed and it still runs on this firmware.

Also we know other firwares 1.00 exists: [[1.00 DEX]], [[1.00 DECR]], [[1.00 AV]] (this last one contains the emulators with compilation timestamps)
Also we know the debug 1.00 exists [[1.00 DEX]]
 
* The earliest known fw differentiation between DEX  and DECR was 0.85 <!-- euss has/had 0.85 DEX fw -->. The CEX prototype CBEH-1000-D was properly built around the same time as the DEH-H1001-D (the suffix denotes the stage of the prototype, -E came with 0.95), which came with 0.85. So it would make sense that there is 1.00 CEX, because there was also 1.00 DEX and DECR.
** This could be for non-retail Hardware for sure since my experience showed that Version "X.XX" got always released for DEX, SEX, <!-- why they called it SEX ??? :P --> DECR, AV, ARCADE and so on way before the same Version "X.XX" got released for a retail CEX version, which makes sense, since Sony use probably at least DEX hardware to test out things on newer Firmwares (see 3D functionality on DEX FW vs. CEX FW for example).
*** I don't know if the following Sony did for the PS3 Firmware Releases but on PS4, the newest Firmware is always finished and "ready or installment" way before it's publlc release. See the latest Firmware Update 5.01, which got released on '''24<sup>th</sup> October 2017''' but the direct download link shares the '''filedate''' together with the MD5 checksum, which mismatches in this case --> [http://djp01.ps4.update.playstation.net/update/ps4/image/2017_1018/sys_8606691c0201e4db2a4100f80fbaddb3/PS4UPDATE.PUP?dest=jp http://djp01.ps4.update.playstation.net/update/ps4/image/'''2017_1018'''/sys_8606691c0201e4db2a4100f80fbaddb3/PS4UPDATE.PUP?dest=jp] (6 days before public release but no one can download this Update File before since the ps3-updatelist.xml needs to get updated as well). This means that [[1.00 CEX]] could be finished on 11<sup>th</sup> November 2006, but also on October or even way longer before. If Sony worked with this system for the PS3 as well, then I think you will never can say if there was a [[1.00 CEX]] Update File since there is no 100% proof that Sony worked this out like above mentioned with the DEX and DECR versions compared to the CEX releases. And with those Date mismatches, it makes it way more difficult to find any [[1.00 CEX]] Update File, especially without any MD5 hash. On the other hand, no one knows when Sony started to implement this ps3-updatelist.xml feature especially if they implemented it already on Day 1 after release. Sadly the waybackmachine has only entries until March 2007 :(
**** And yes, they probably did the same for the PS3, check the "imageBuildDate" from the following two pictures right after the Version Number:
***** http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/images/9/9c/MoreSystemInformation-CECHA01-102.JPG
***** http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/images/d/d3/IMG_0148.JPG
**** [[1.02 CEX]] and [[1.10 CEX]] were already finished way before the PS3 was released. This could even mean that if you bought a PS3 on 11<sup>th</sup> November 2006, you already had Firmware [[1.02 CEX]] pre-installed, which would also make sense that all japanese Launch titles shares the same MD5 hashes for the included disc-based Update File, which is the MD5 hash for the disc-based [[1.02 CEX]] Update file like on this Mobile Suit Gundman Game (Google for "df96debb4c014f5673e0ce259e4fb835" and you will find a lot of hashes shared on several japanese launch titles). This means that if you bought a PS3 at Launch Day, there was no need to Update your PS3 to play the launch games, since the PS3 was "up to date" at that time with both pre-installed [[1.02 CEX]] and the same Version on your launch title Discs. So [[1.00 CEX]] was never released in public probably.
**** The build date shown in that screens such http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/images/d/d3/IMG_0148.JPG is the same that can be seen in the emualtor timestamps here http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Talk:PS2_Emulation#PS2_Emulator_Types_and_Revisions, by looking at that emualtor timestamps it can be seen where the "clicked" in the compile button (or run the make -all command, or activated the "buildbot" server, or whatever hehe), by looking at that timestamps i think all the firmware "families" are compiled in a row... this dates should be different than the date where they makes the firmwares availables for sure, the firmwares are compiled a day and several dates later (when passes all the testigs) enters in production (send to the factories, game companies, included in SDKs, availables in web servers, etc...)
As an interesting comparison, the only difference in between ps2_emu.elf (decrypted) from firmwares [[1.30 AV]] and [[1.30 CEX]] are 3 bytes of the timestamp, ps2_emu.elf for [[1.30 CEX]] was compiled at 06/12/05/05:33 and ps2_emu.elf for [[1.30 AV]] 06/12/05/07:15... around 2 hours after, based on this we can deduce the ps2_emu.elf for [[1.00 CEX]] was compiled a couple of hours before the ps2_emu.elf for [[1.00 AV]] and the code of that ps2_emu.elf was exactly the same (except the timestamp with the delay of two hours)


* Hmm, maybe we could compare this with the relase from the PS4. Launch Day Devices where on 1.00 ???

* There's no 1.00 CEX firmware on a launch model, similarly to how there's no 1.00 CEX firmware on a launch game. Similar to how PS4 was released to the market, PS3s came with 1.01 fw pre installed. PS4s instead came with 1.01 pre installed, and later, when sony figured out this contained some bugs, they put available in the market 1.05 PS4s.

* Actually there was a time I liked the entry from the official Wikipedia itself since it listed every update and all functions in detail in a big table but for some reasons, they removed it. Several people claiming it in the Talk page to bring this back but you can look for an older revision like here --> https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PlayStation_3_system_software&oldid=676645457
