Content is the same as Ver 3|} == Encoding == The encoding process takes place in <code>Cmn::SaveDataFactory::encode</code>. The decoding process takes place in <code>Cmn::SaveDataFactory::decode</code>. The encryption used on the save body is '''AES-128 CBC'''. The key is generated using a <code>sead::Random</code> object initialized from a 16 byte seed stored in the save footer, in which also stores the initialization vector and the CMAC for authentication. The CMAC key is generated from the same <code>sead::Random</code> object after the encryption key. The shuffling for save body takes place after it is encrypted. The game constructs a new <code>sead::Random</code> object initialized with the CRC32 from the save header. It then uses this to generate block sizes larger than 1/16 of body size and smaller than 1/8 of body size (or total remaining size, in case the remaining size is smaller than 1/8 of body size). When the remaining size is smaller than 1/16 of body size, it is added as the size of the last block. The game then uses <code>sead::PtrArrayImpl::shuffle</code> with the same <code>sead::Random</code> object to complete the shuffle. == save.dat file structure ==
