External saves Savegames must be archived to:/APOLLO/SAVEDATA/.
Saves on Memory Stick Saves will be scanned from ms0:/PSP/SAVEDATA/.

 

Note: Game-specific save keys are required to decrypt PSP save files. You can dump the required keys using PSP plugins, such as: SGKeyDumper or Deemer .

 

  1. Install the plugin on the PSP console (in ms0:/seplugins).
  2. Enable the plugin using the recovery menu.
  3. Launch the PSP game and let it load/save so the plugin can download the key.
  4. Once you download the key, Apollo will detect it and use it as needed to decrypt, encrypt, patch or rehash your PSP save.

 

Tip: If you have the PSP save keys, use Dump Save-game KeyApollo’s option on the PSP save, then share the file gamekeys.txt so that all these keys can be added in the next release.
