Time to sign up for a cryptography class. 3DS DOES check save integrity since the save file is encrypted and has a checksum. If you just simply modify save file without doing anything else, 3DS will treat the saves as corrupted.Do you even know what you're talking about?
The common R4i SaveDongle can backup and restore 3DS saves. Also, the 3DS does not check save integrity (except for the DSi-exploit games, from what I've heard).
Probably not...probably injected a hacked save into a retail cart...

The method to calculate the signature is based on AES, which you will find close to impossible to break without the right key. Nobody outside of Nintendo's engineering circle managed to recalculate the signature. Until now...

So you hex edited a save file.
The average idiot can do this, you once great legacy has faded to almost nothing

We should start telling the noobs that it'll come with the remake of TP for 3DS.inb4 "So when's the 3DS's twilight hack coming?"
I guess they won't bother until there is at least some kind of tool released
Yeah, that would break game compatibility on systems with older firmware because the update containing the newer signature/method would not be included on the game card. If they do it, they'll just quietly introduce it in a newer version of the SDK.But even so, Nintendo probably won't update the save file signing for a least a few more updates since, if they rush it, it's more likely to not be as safe for them as they may like it. And even if they do update it, I doubt they would use it on older games. (like the newer save encryption method didn't get implemented into older games)

The patch will either be a firmware update or something from the e-Shop.So, if this does go anywhere, should I get Lego Star Wars 3 soon in case they patch it?
Why wouldn't anyone tell you not to buy a game, of course you should get Lego wars. Why sit on a device you own just because eventually you might be able to use it for free. Which is no where in sight. So if lego wars is something you want to play I say buy it.So, if this does go anywhere, should I get Lego Star Wars 3 soon in case they patch it?
