As I tweeted last weekend, I was working on accessing the private PSN profile pages to get access to all those games that are yet not on the public profile pages and also to get more information about hidden trophies.
The good thing is: it is possible! The bad thing: Updates of those trophies cannot be made automatically. The time-to-live of the session is just too short, so that I cannot re-use it a few hours later to get your newly earned trophies.
I will continue to work on this, though, because being able to access this data is useful enough, although it would mean for you to go to PS3Heroes.com and re-authorize the PSN access all the time. But: your PSN login data would be perfectly save, as it's not me who asks for your login credentials, but Playstation.com themselves.
With this, I can also verify your account, so I actually know, that it is *you* who has access to this PSN account.
There is still some work to do, as I need to find a good way to match all those new games to already existing ones. The given IDs between the public and private PSN profile pages do not match, of course. So I need to write some extra code to match those games and trophies to the ones I already have on PS3Heroes.
Another odd thing is, that the private profile pages don't show the exact time when you earned a trophy, but rather something like "2 weeks ago". That makes it even harder for me to match existing ones - especially when it comes to hidden trophies.
So, it might take a couple of more weeks to complete this stuff, but maybe I will put something online in beta, so you guys can try it out.
At least you will find information about game's trophies much earlier and there will also be hints on what to do to get hidden trophies. All this alone is worth implementing it, I think.

Ist das denn überhaupt praktikabel, wenn die Trophy-Zeiten gar nicht dabei stehen? Dann ist ja auch die Zuordnung zu den Wochen für die Dashboard-Rankings nicht mehr so genau...
Falls ich Dich mit dem einen oder anderen Test als Beta-User unterstützen kann, dann mail mich einfach an.
Ich hoffe aber, dass diese User eh relativ schnell das manuelle Update aufrufen werden und somit steht da dann "vor zwei Stunden", was dann schon wieder wesentlich genauer sein dürfte.
Nur leider wird dann das Zusammenführen von versteckten Trophäen kaum möglich sein.
Sobald ich was fertig habe, sage ich Dir auf jeden Fall Bescheid :-) ich werde wohl erst mal das Interface bauen und den "verifizierten" Usernamen einführen. Nebenbei lade ich dann schon mal die Spiele und Trophäen runter, so dass ich ein paar Fallbeispiele mehr habe.
