Can anyone confirm if the flag sticks after updating to 3.66? I know it sticks for any previous firmware, but 3.66 came out right after QA Flag was released.
Nobody has tested yet but I'm 99.9% sure it won't. Sorry man but hey piracy
it allows us to play the newer games coming out that have the 3.6+ keys
It will only if we figure out the keys... which we still havent... and or the new button combo for higher firmwares... either one cause the flag stays forever but the button combo has changed and even if we figure it out they can change both the keys and the button combo so... we need a definitive non patchable way of getting one or the other first. then both.
