Firmware updates archaeology 1.00, 1.02, 1.10, etc...

Problems

Mobile Suit Gundman Target in Sight (BLJS10002)

Link and release date: (BLJS10002 2006/11/11)

We have two pages in wiki that tells the same game disc BLJS10002 includes two different firmware updates versions: 1.02 CEX and 1.11 CEX, thats literally imposible so one of them is wrong, and based in the info posted in 1.02 CEX (where appears the hash of the "RETAIL/CEX-DISK", different than the hash of the "1.02 RETAIL/CEX" because for disc releases the file is padded with zeroes) it makes me think that info is right and BLJS10002 contains update 1.02 (so the info in 1.11 page about BLJS10002 is wrong)

But wait... so CEX 1.00 existed at some point ?

There are basically two reasons why the bluray game discs contains a firmware update, 1) because the game requires it, and 2) because this way is posble for all consumers included the ones without an internet connection to play the game by installing the firmware updated required by the game

It seems that BLJS10002 included 1.02 firmware update ...so this means at that time existed some PS3 with a lower firmware installed, right ?, and it needs to be 1.00 or 1.01

Also we know the debug 1.00 exists 1.00 DEX

PS3 launch games availables

The release date of the first PS3 model in japan matches with the release of BLJS10002... that date was 2006/11/11 as far as wikipedia and that official link to the store BLJS10002

Im guessing this was one of the games availables at the PS3 release date in japan... the kind of thing you had to wait in a row for all night waiting for the shop to open at morning and you could buy the CECHA00 + BLJS10002

Perhaps that first CECHA00 models was shipped with firmware 1.00... and that same day people updated them to 1.02 with the disc
