== Usage ==
===Online Database===
Using the application is simple and straight-forward:
The application also provides direct access to the [https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-saves Apollo online database] of save-game files for PlayStation Vita games.
 
These usually offer additional features such as completed games that can save you many hours of playing.


* Move <span class="kbd">UP</span>/<span class="kbd">DOWN</span> to select the save-game file you want to patch, and press <span class="kbd">X button</span>. The patch screen will show the available fixes for the file. Select the patches and click <code>Apply</code>.
Currently, the list of available games and files is limited, but the project aims to add more save-games shared by the community.
* To view the item's details, press <span class="kbd">Triangle</span>. It will open the context menu on the screen. Press <span class="kbd">O button</span> to return to the list.
* To reload the list, press <span class="kbd">Square</span>.
* Press <span class="kbd">L1</span>/<span class="kbd">L2</span> or <span class="kbd">R1</span>/<span class="kbd">R2</span> trigger buttons to move pages up or down.

===FAQ===
'''Q. Where I can get a save-game for "XYZ game"?'''
 
You can check sites like [https://ps3.brewology.com/gamesaves/savedgames.php?page=savedgames&system=ps4 Brewology.com], and [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/ GameFAQs]. Also, searching on [http://www.google.com Google] might help.

If you have a save file that is not currently available on the Online Database and want to share it, please check [https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-saves this link] for instructions.
 
'''Q. Why is it called Apollo?
 
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo Apollo] was the twin brother of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis Artemis], goddess of the hunt.
 
Since this project was born using the [https://github.com/Dnawrkshp/ArtemisPS3/ Artemis-GUI] codebase, I decided to respect that heritage by calling it Apollo.

Apollo Save Tool is an application to manage save-game files on the PlayStation Vita.

The apollo-vita homebrew app allows to download, unlock, patch and resign save-game files directly on your Vita.

Features

  • Easy to use - No advanced setup needed.
  • Standalone - No computer required, everything happens on the PS Vita.
  • Automatic settings - No auto-detection of User ID, and Account-ID settings.
  • Multi-user - Supports multiple user accounts.
  • Save Management:
    • Save files listing - Quick access to all the save files on USB and the internal PS Vita memory (+ file details).
    • Save param.sfo updating - Allows the user to update the param.sfo User ID and Account ID information.
    • Save files patching - Complete support for Save Wizard and Bruteforce Save Data cheat patches to enhance your save-games.
    • Save import/export - Allows the user to decrypt and export save files, and import decrypted saves from other consoles.
    • Save downloading - Easy access to an Online Database of save-game files to download straight to your Vita.

Installation

No special setup is needed. Just download the latest apollo-vita.vpk package and install it on your PlayStation Vita.

On first run, the application will detect and setup the required user settings.

User guide

Data folders

PS Vita:

PS Vita Folder
External Storage saves Your saves must be stored on <uma0/imc0/xmc0/ux0>:data/savegames/.
User Storage saves Save-games will be scanned from ux0:user/00/savedata/.

PSP:

PSP Folder
External Storage saves Your saves must be stored on <uma0/imc0/xmc0/ux0>:data/savegames/.
User Storage saves Save-games will be scanned from ux0:pspemu/PSP/SAVEDATA/.

Note: To decrypt PSP save files, game-specific save keys are required. You can dump the required keys using PSP plugins, such as:

How to use the plugins:

  • Install the plugin on Adrenaline (ux0:pspemu/seplugins).
  • Enable it using the recovery menu.
  • Start your PSP game and let it load/save so the plugin can dump the key.
  • Once the key has been dumped, Apollo will detect it, and use it as needed to decrypt, encrypt, apply patches, or rehash the PSP save.

Tip: if you have PSP save keys, use Apollo's Dump Key fingerprint option on your PSP save, and then share the fingerprints.txt file so all these keys can be added to the next release.

Online Database

The application also provides direct access to the Apollo online database of save-game files for PlayStation Vita games.

These usually offer additional features such as completed games that can save you many hours of playing.

Currently, the list of available games and files is limited, but the project aims to add more save-games shared by the community.

Note: Downloaded save files must be resigned using Apollo before loading them in your games.

FAQ

Q. Where I can get a save-game for "XYZ game"?

You can check sites like Brewology.com, and GameFAQs. Also, searching on Google might help.

Q. I have a save-game file that I want to share. How can I upload it?

If you have a save file that is not currently available on the Online Database and want to share it, please check this link for instructions.

Q. Why is it called Apollo?

Apollo was the twin brother of Artemis, goddess of the hunt.

Since this project was born using the Artemis-GUI codebase, I decided to respect that heritage by calling it Apollo.
