.The application also provides direct access to the Apollo online database of save-game files for PlayStation 4 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.
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.
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.
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.
You need to have installed:
Run make
to create a release build. If you want to include the latest save patches in your .pkg
file, run make createzip
.
You can also set the PS3LOAD
environment variable to your PS4 IP address: export PS3LOAD=tcp:x.x.x.x
.
This will allow you to use a ps3load client and send the eboot.bin
directly to the PS4Load listener.
To enable debug logging, build Apollo Save Tool with make DEBUGLOG=1
. The application will send debug messages to
UDP multicast address 239.255.0.100:30000
. To receive them you can use socat on your computer:
$ socat udp4-recv:30000,ip-add-membership=239.255.0.100:0.0.0.0 -
