The online save database project is part of Apollo Save Tool:
- PlayStation 2 version
- PlayStation 3 version
- PlayStation 4 version
- PlayStation Portable version
- PlayStation Vita version
To start, I'll assume you already have the latest version of Apollo installed. You'll also need a USB drive (FAT32) connected to your PS3 to save the exported .zip file.
Steps:
- Within the app, browse your HDD/USB saves
- Select the save-game you want to export
- From the options, select
Export save game to Zip - Next, select to which USB port you want to save (USB 0 or 1).
- Wait for the
.zipexport file to be generated.
If everything went well, you'll have the exported .zip file ready on your USB storage device here:
/PS3/EXPORT/XXXXXXXX.zip
In the EXPORT folder you'll also find a saves.txt file, listing all exported .zips with their Title-IDs and the save-game names.
To upload the zipped save file and share it with the community:
The simple way is to create a GitHub issue with the provided template, then you can write down the save description and upload the Zip file directly there (just drag&drop the .zip): https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-saves/issues/new/choose
If you don't know about GitHub (forks, pull requests, etc.), don't worry. Just upload the .zip file you created to Mediafire or any other file-sharing service, then just send me a message here with the link and information/description so I can add it.
The database structure is simple:
- Each game has a folder, named with the TITLE-ID. (e.g.
BLUS12345) - game saves are stored in
.zipfiles inside the game's TITLE ID folder. - The Zip filename must be
XXXXXXXX.zip, where X can be a number from0to9. (.zipextension lowercase). - The Zip file must contain the save-game folder and data. (e.g.
MYGAME-DATA/*) - Each folder has a
saves.txtfile that lists the available saves, with the description. - On the root, a file
games.txtlists all the games/title-id's available.
Note: if the explanation is a bit confusing, please browse the database and it should be self-explanatory.
If you're an advanced GitHub user, you can also:
- Fork the project https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-saves
- Add your save
12345678.zipto theBLES00000folder - Edit
saves.txtin the folder, adding12345678.zipwith a short description - Submit the changes with a Pull Request
- Then I'll merge the changes and the saves will be available to every user.
