Just download the latest [`apollo-vita.vpk`](https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-vita/releases/latest/download/apollo-vita.vpk) package and install it on your PlayStation Vita.\nOn first run, the application will detect and setup the required user settings.\n\n## Data folders\n\n### PS Vita\n\n| PS Vita | Folder |\n|-----|--------|\n| **External Storage saves** | your saves must be stored on `\u003cuma0/imc0/xmc0/ux0\u003e:data/savegames/`. |\n| **User Storage saves** | save-games will be scanned from `ux0:user/00/savedata/`. |\n\n### PSP\n\n| PSP | Folder |\n|-----|--------|\n| **External Storage saves** | your saves must be stored on `\u003cuma0/imc0/xmc0/ux0\u003e:data/savegames/`. |\n| **User Storage saves** | save-games will be scanned from `ux0:pspemu/PSP/SAVEDATA/`. |\n\n### PS1\n\n| PS1 | Folder |\n|-----|--------|\n| **External saves** | your saves must be stored on `\u003cuma0/imc0/xmc0/ux0\u003e:data/PS1/SAVEDATA/`. |\n| **Virtual Memory Cards** | VMC images will be scanned from `\u003cuma0/imc0/xmc0/ux0\u003e:data/PS1/VMC/`. |\n\n## PSP Saves Requirements\n\nIf you want to properly hash and resign PSP saves, you need to dump the `FuseID` from Adrenaline.\nYou can install the [FuseID dumper tool](https://github.com/bucanero/psp-fuseid-dumper/) using Apollo:\n1. `Tools` :arrow_right: `PSP Key Dumper tools` :arrow_right: `Install PSP FuseID Dumper` option\n2. Open Adrenaline and execute the _**FuseID dumper**_ application.\n3. Once the `FuseID.bin` has been dumped, Apollo will detect and import the file to use it when needed.\n\n### Save-game Key dumper\n\nTo decrypt PSP save files, game-specific save keys are required.\nYou can use Apollo to install and enable the PSP [save-game key dumper plugin](https://github.com/bucanero/psptools/releases/download/20220719/pspsgkey13.zip) on Adrenaline:\n- `Tools` :arrow_right: `PSP Key Dumper tools` :arrow_right: `Install Save-game Key Dumper` option\n\n**Note:** You can also dump the required keys using PSP plugins, such as:\n- [SGKeyDumper](https://github.com/bucanero/psptools/releases/download/20220719/pspsgkey13.zip)\n- [SGDeemer](https://github.com/bucanero/psptools/releases/download/20220719/SGDeemer111.rar)\n\n1. Install the plugin on Adrenaline (`ux0:pspemu/seplugins`)\n2. Enable it using the recovery menu. \n3. Start your PSP game and let it load/save so the plugin can dump the key.\n4. 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.\n\n**Tip:** if you have PSP save keys, use Apollo's `Export Save-game Key` option on your PSP save, and then share the `gamekeys.txt` file so all these keys can be added to the next release.\n\n# Usage\n\nUsing the application is simple and straight-forward: \n\n - Move \u003ckbd\u003eUP\u003c/kbd\u003e/\u003ckbd\u003eDOWN\u003c/kbd\u003e to select the save-game file you want to patch, and press ![X button](https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-ps3/raw/master/data/CROSS.png). The patch screen will show the available fixes for the file. Select the patches and click `Apply`.\n - To view the item's details, press ![Triangle](https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-ps3/raw/master/data/TRIANGLE.png).\nIt will open the context menu on the screen. Press ![O button](https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-ps3/raw/master/data/CIRCLE.png) to return to the list.\n - To reload the list, press ![Square](https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-ps3/raw/master/data/SQUARE.png).\n - Press \u003ckbd\u003eL1\u003c/kbd\u003e/\u003ckbd\u003eL2\u003c/kbd\u003e or \u003ckbd\u003eR1\u003c/kbd\u003e/\u003ckbd\u003eR2\u003c/kbd\u003e trigger buttons to move pages up or down.\n\n# Online Database\n\nThe application also provides direct access to the [Apollo online database](https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-saves) of save-game files for PlayStation Vita and PSP games.\nThese usually offer additional features such as completed games that can save you many hours of playing.\n\nThe Online Database project aims to [add more save-games](https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-saves/issues/new/choose) shared by the community.\n\n**Note:** Downloaded save files **must be resigned** using Apollo before loading them in your games.\n\n# FAQs\n\n 1. Where I can get a save-game for *XYZ game*?\n    \n    You can check sites like [Brewology.com](https://ps3.brewology.com/gamesaves/savedgames.php?page=savedgames\u0026system=ps4), and [GameFAQs](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/). Also, searching on [Google](http://www.google.com) might help.\n 1. I have a save-game file that I want to share. How can I upload it?\n    \n    If you have a save file that is not currently available on the Online Database and want to share it, please check [this link](https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-saves) for instructions.\n 1. Why is it called **Apollo**?\n    \n    [Apollo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo) was the twin brother of [Artemis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis), goddess of the hunt. Since this project was born using the [Artemis-GUI](https://github.com/Dnawrkshp/ArtemisPS3/) codebase, I decided to respect that heritage by calling it Apollo.\n\n# Credits\n\n* [Bucanero](http://www.bucanero.com.ar/): [Project developer](https://github.com/bucanero)\n\n## Acknowledgments\n\n* [Dnawrkshp](https://github.com/Dnawrkshp/): [Artemis PS3](https://github.com/Dnawrkshp/ArtemisPS3)\n* [Berion](https://www.psx-place.com/members/berion.1431/): GUI design\n* [flatz](https://github.com/flatz): [SFO tools](https://github.com/bucanero/pfd_sfo_tools/)\n* Draan/[Proxima](https://github.com/ProximaV): [KIRK engine](https://github.com/ProximaV/kirk-engine-full)\n* [ShendoXT](https://github.com/ShendoXT): [MemcardRex](https://github.com/ShendoXT/memcardrex)\n* [aldostools](https://aldostools.org/): [Bruteforce Save Data](https://bruteforcesavedata.forumms.net/)\n* [Nobody/Wild Light](https://github.com/nobodo): [Background music track](https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-vita/blob/main/data/haiku.s3m)\n\n# Building\n\nYou need to have installed:\n\n- [Vita SDK](https://github.com/vitasdk/)\n- [Apollo](https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-lib) library\n- [polarSSL](https://github.com/vitasdk/packages/tree/master/polarssl) library\n- [cURL](https://github.com/vitasdk/packages/tree/master/curl) library\n- [libxmp-lite](https://github.com/vitasdk/packages/tree/master/libxmp-lite) library\n- [libZip](https://github.com/vitasdk/packages/tree/master/libzip) library\n- [dbglogger](https://github.com/bucanero/dbglogger) library\n\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e **Developers:** You can find detailed technical documentation about the project in [this Wiki page](https://deepwiki.com/bucanero/apollo-vita/).\n\nRun `cmake . \u0026\u0026 make` to create a release build. If you want to include the [latest save patches](https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-patches) in your `.vpk` file, run `make createzip`.\n\nTo enable debug logging, pass `-DAPOLLO_ENABLE_LOGGING=ON` argument to cmake. The application will send debug messages to\nUDP multicast address `239.255.0.100:30000`. To receive them you can use [socat][] on your computer:\n\n```bash\n$ socat udp4-recv:30000,ip-add-membership=239.255.0.100:0.0.0.0 -\n```\n\nYou can also set the `PSVITAIP` environment variable to your Vita's IP address, and use `make send` to upload `eboot.bin` directly to the `ux0:app/NP0APOLLO` folder.\n\n# License\n\n[Apollo Save Tool](https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-vita/) (PS Vita) - Copyright (C) 2020-2025 [Damian Parrino](https://twitter.com/dparrino)\n\nThis program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify\nit under the terms of the [GNU General Public License][app_license] as published by\nthe Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or\n(at your option) any later version.\n\n[socat]: http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/\n[app_downloads]: https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-vita/releases\n[app_latest]: https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-vita/releases/latest\n[app_license]: https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-vita/blob/main/LICENSE\n[changelog]: https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-vita/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md\n[img_downloads]: https://img.shields.io/github/downloads/bucanero/apollo-vita/total.svg?maxAge=3600\n[img_latest]: https://img.shields.io/github/release/bucanero/apollo-vita.svg?maxAge=3600\n[img_license]: https://img.shields.io/github/license/bucanero/apollo-vita.svg?maxAge=2592000\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbucanero%2Fapollo-vita","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbucanero%2Fapollo-vita","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbucanero%2Fapollo-vita/lists"}
