Handling savegames

  • Dump decrypted savesgames using Apollo PS4:
    • Select "HDD Saves".
    • Select savegame to edit.
    • Select "Export save-game files".
  • Apollo also contains premade savegame patches and downloadable savegames for an increasing number of games.
    If these are sufficient for you, you will be happy with Apollo alone 😀
  • Alternatively, you can use ctn123's PlayStation 4 Save Mounter which runs on PC directly and requires the included ps4debug payload.
    • This tool will most likely not be continued by its developer.
  • FTP into your PS4, navigate to /data/apollo/<yourUserID>/CUSAXXXXX, copy the savegame to your PC.
  • MAKE A BACKUP OF THAT SAVE!
  • Load the savegame into the respective editor, edit to your liking, click the Save button at the top, save the result.
  • On the FTP, delete the existing file, upload your edited savegame (or overwrite).
  • Back in Apollo:
    • Select same savegame again.
    • Select "Import decrypted save files".
    • Add the file(s) you edited, one per Import.
    • Once all files are added, select "Apply Changes & Resign".
  • Make sure you exit Apollo by using O button on the controller until you can quit, otherwise your savegames might get corrupted.
