PLEASE ALSO BE AWARE THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE STATING THAT THE TROPHY SYSTEM GETS MESSED UP !!!!!!!! FOOLS RUSH IN .........

Note: Only works on Otheros++ 3.55 or 3.41 CFW at the moment, so you'll have to reflash to it, then go back to your cfw's
(i.e 3.55 CFW > Otheros++ > QA Flag > 3.55 CFW )



|Requirements| instalation instructions|

PS3 on OtherOS++ 3.55 CFW PUP

rename it to PS3UPDAT.PUP

install the firmware

QA Auto Flag .PKG

install the qa_flag.pkg

then run the qa_flag program

if you hear a beep, it worked.

restart ps3
Go to network settings (Do not enter it) and hit or hold L1+L2+L3+R1+R2+down on the dpad

QA auto flagging is now done

Turn on the 'system update debug' in the debug settings
Play a BD disc with the highest MKB version you can get..Latest release from Blockbuster or whatever.

Note: It may start to play and then you get no video output to the tv.This happened a few times to me. Just power off, accept the "naughty boy" messgage from Sony and try again until it plays. If it keeps doing this, you need to change to AV or component leads since your TV seems to not be 100% HDMI/BD compliant.

I have tested this on several (at least 5) PS3's with 100% success rate.

Thanks to Mark Webber for the news!
