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)
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 If they do it, they'll just quietly introduce it in a newer version of the SDK.
well its just a firmware update
it happened before with super mario 3D Land in update 2.1.0-3
if you try to boot the game it says, not without update 2.1.0-3 and will ask if you wish to install it
they will most likely do this again when the new xor key is released
but Lego Star Wars III was an older game that came out at launchi thought?
