This is a little something my brother found. It might be useful, but not sure. Follow the steps carefully!

Here it is:

I have found a little bit of the QA Flag menu options for stuff. This will also tell you how to get some of those menus. two of the .rco files is provided below. Today I was editing my .rco of my flash just changing text and stuff. I went through a couple like * category_setting_plugin.rco * explore_psn_plugin.rco (I think) * explore_debug_plugin.rco (rebug only) Follow this tutorial to find & edit your own .rco files How to Customize XMB icons, and text In explore_psn_plugin If you look down a bit you see *Install Package Files, so I was like wait thats not there. So then I remebered QA Flag. This proves that it is real, and we can find the code (for you non-believers) In category_settings_plugin If you look at the bottom of the .xml file it says 2 options: 1. *Install Package Files 2. *Debug Settings Just like before thats from QA Flag, so thats just more evidence for you non-believers. So we can get debug settings on a retail (3.61) consol if we find the code/keys or whatever. Now Im going to show you how to get a new menu option in settings. (rebug only) also In category_settings_plugin there is a Edy name and description. So then I was like wait I remember something about that (also not there.) In debug settings there is Edy Debug. so I turned that on and nothing happened, so I started to wonder does this need QA Flag also? but I found out NO, because back in that .rco file I changed the name to "Edy Stuff", and the description to "testing" (can be any text). Then I turned Edy Debug back on, with the new .rco file installed on my flash. Then I went into Rebug settings, and changed all my stuff back to Retail, and out of debug/rebug. Then it will restart your PS3. It WILL beep 3 times super fast, and it is not bricked. But now when you go to Settings, right under System Update there will be a Edy Settings Icon. You can click it but it wont load for some reason. But in category_debug_plugin there is another option for Edy. Ill let you guys look at it, but maybe we can enable that extra menu options for Edy on our systems. Well this got me thinking to maybe we dont need QA Flagging, we might be able to enable these options by editing files in the flash. (be carefull) I hope we get more people looking into this field, and discover new system options!

No. That is the person from the source. I just did that so that people would be a little more warned.

[tcmkenny]

Looks interesting.

Anybody out there know more about this?

Here's a quote from someone who might know..

Just like to point out that Edy Viewer is nothing to do with QA Flag...
It's for Japanese Consoles...

http://manuals.playstation.net/docum...edyviewer.html

And Math confirmed on psx-scene that it has nothing to do with getting the QA Flag...

[Pockets69]

yes edy viewer has nothing to do with QA, although the option Edy debug has! but still that is not the point. this won't work without the token and the flag!
