Yeah since the leak this thread has lost some value, but it's still interesting to document where every game write data on the disk and what kind of data (besides the leak doesn't contain prototypes or earlier versions of games).

I don't get the point of defining a writable area though, since the whole disk is writable. Can you be sure that no game writes outside the area you formulated?

At least one game (Ginga Denshou) does not seem to have a pristine save area in the leak.

Galaxy Odyssey huh, I see, so they are not 100% reliable. Too bad, I guess this thread is still relevant then.
