Q: Can I update to PS3 HEN 4.89 from 4.88 without losing my games?

Q: Does HEN 4.89 support PS1 and PS2 backup discs?
A: PS1 – Yes, via ISO or BIN/CUE files using webMAN. PS2 – Yes, but you must convert ISOs to “Encrypted PS2 Classics” format using a PC tool. Ps3 Hen 4.89 Download

Q: My friend says HEN 4.89 is dead because 4.90 is out. Should I worry?
