I do not use sigpatches whatsoever. They aren't even on my card and I removed the sigpatch line from my hekate_ipl,ini. Only sys-patch and everything works fine.
Ay that works for me man Neato! I just assume that when you update your console firmware, it's just kind of a "try it and see" if sys-patch still works?
Oh.... Well correct me if I'm wrong here, but I thought that if you have a working build of sys-patch, then there's zero reason to even need sigpatches right? Or no?
Well I kinda knew this already before posting, but sometimes after 186 pages of discussion, things change I assumed. But nah not in this case, pretty spot on.

With the help of:
A NEW SET OF SIGPATCHES FOR 18.1.0 has been created some changed and some where added. PLEASE TAKE NOTE AND UPGRADE YOURS (Note V2 was added to the end of the new file)
I see that "IPS Patch creator" has hardcoded master_key_00, mariko_bek, mariko_kek keys that it exports to tmpkeys.txt and after that call hactoolnet.exe -t keygen to generate all other master keys using hardcoded in hactoolnet master_key_sources
So, 1) it do contain copyrighted materials 2) update for hardcoded sources needed to work on new firmware

My bad. Missed part where it reads mariko_master_kek_source from fw files.

No they are not, they are generated on the fly, git repo is open to the public and you can see the code yourself. Keys are generated from user input only and not embedded in the code.
MK0 code generated like this:
Code:
private void mk0()
{
keygenerator = Keygen();
if (keygenerator.Length != 4)
{
keygenerator = "0000";
}
byte[] w = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(keygenerator);
try
{
int zero = w[0] - 49;
int one = w[1] - 49;
int two = w[2] - 49;
int three = w[3] - 49;
byte[] x = new byte[4] { ((byte)zero), ((byte)one), ((byte)two), ((byte)three) };
int key1 = x[2] * 97; int key2 = x[2] * 101; int key3 = x[2] * 87 + 1; int key4 = x[2] * 120;
int key5 = x[2] * 68 + 1; int key6 = x[2] * 92 + 1; int key7 = x[2] * 87; int key8 = x[2] * 106 + 1;
int key9 = x[2] * 43; int key10 = x[2] * 74; int key11 = x[2] * 67 + 1; int key12 = x[2] * 48;
int key13 = x[2] * 42 + 1; int key14 = x[2] * 19 + 1; int key15 = x[2] * 14; int key16 = x[2] * 62 + 1;
string keystring = (key1.ToString("X2") + key2.ToString("X2") + key3.ToString("X2") + key4.ToString("X2") + key5.ToString("X2") + key6.ToString("X2") + key7.ToString("X2") + key8.ToString("X2"));
string keystring2 = (key9.ToString("X2") + key10.ToString("X2") + key11.ToString("X2") + key12.ToString("X2") + key13.ToString("X2") + key14.ToString("X2") + key15.ToString("X2") + key16.ToString("X2"));
Clipboard.Clear();
//clear array
Array.Clear(w, 0, w.Length);
Array.Clear(x, 0, x.Length);
var plainTextBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("master_key_00 = " + keystring + keystring2);
string clip = System.Convert.ToBase64String(plainTextBytes);
Clipboard.SetText(clip);

But the keys ARE NOT INCLUDED ON THE CODE, Big N CAN ONLY COPYRIGHT CODE no math expressions, also no one bit of original Big N code is included SO IS UP TO YOU IF YOU LIKE TO USE OR NOT. As no copyrighted material is included ninjas can not DCMA the source.
Yes the ninja are mages to interpreter what they can consider DCMA-ble but your example is clear is illegal THE NUMBER no a math function which MAY generate the number, you need to give to the function a SPECIFIC input to get the number if you feed the equation with another input the number is not generated SO THE MATH FUNCTION IS NOT ILLEGAL.
But all of you can choose do not use the program, also please STOP HIJACKING this thread, there is another thread about IPS Patch Creator, you can continue your diatribe there.
