Hi, i don't known if it can be usefull but this is my experience:

1) i have transform my disk into wud (skylanders imaginators game) 2) i have launched sign_patcher 3) i have launched wup installer mod y, and installed this game to my HDD 4) i have launched my game, says need update, i have updated it via internet 5) i have launched my game as normal.

after multiple reboots, my game works perfect i have thinked that sign_patcher is effective after reboot, but no, other games says "impossible to use this soft" so i can say that the update of game written a good ticket ?

and many thanks for your excellent work !

Signature patches do not persist through reboots. The reason why the game works without signature patches is because tickets (the thing that makes your console think you own the game) that comes from discs can be installed on any console without issues, and the console will think you own the game. This is known as a "legit" ticket.

Yes, this is completely normal.

However, some games (mostly virtual console and eShop only titles) cannot be "legit" installed as eShop tickets are console-specific. This means that the ticket has to be faked, requiring signature patches to install and run it.
