If it doesn't work anymore, they likely changed the key for encryption/decryption but that should theoretically break existing saves, unless 5.00 decrypts using the old key on the first round and then encrypt with the new key which is then used in the future. Unless I'm completely wrong, I don't really see a way Save Wizard can work around this.
Yeah you seem to be right...old saves created on older firmware can be resigned and used on 5.00 but creating a save on 5.00 gives an error when resigning. So if they can't fix it people would either need to have 2 PS4s one on 5.00 the other on older firmware or ask other people to create saves for them on older firmware...sucks hope they find a fix!
