Almost every major firmware update adds a new `master_key` so be sure to keep your keys updated if you want to play newer games! +* `title.keys` +These are only used for games that are not dumped from cartridges but from games downloaded from the Nintendo eShop, these are also only used if the eShop dump does *not* have a `ticket`. If the game does have a ticket, Ryujinx will read the key directly from that ticket. \ No newline at end of file
