I'm trying to get something settled. Using godmode9, dumping an installed game from SD to .CIA (standard).
Recently I find a lot of "install CIA and import seed" to get a game to work. If I don't import the seed, the game doesn't work, but if I do import the seed, it's fine, so encryption, I get that.
But if I then dump that game to a new CIA, I can install and run that game on another 3DS (that has never had installed or run that game before) with no issue, without any import seed. So as far as I understand it, doing this results in a CIA that's no longer carrying that extra encryption.
If so, I have to wonder why anyone dumping a game wouldn't go that extra few seconds effort to do it properly, but having no confirmation that I'm right, it's hard to understand fully.
My experience tells me I'm right, any thoughts?
