Hello everyone, don't think this was posted before, but found out how to save and replace saves from and to PS4-PS Vita for Persona Dancing (3, 5 & possibly 4). Normally, the cross-save function baked in the games require PSN, so this is a way to get around that.

Requirements:​

• Both PS4 & PS Vita need to be hacked/jailbroken. Firmware doesn't matter, game versions don't matter either.
• For PS4: Apollo Save Tool
• For PS Vita: VitaShell

Copying and replacing the saves​

• Open Apollo Save Tool > HDD Saves > Persona X Dancing.
• Export Decrypted Save Files and select your USB drive.
• Apollo will create a folder on the USB drive (PS4 > APOLLO). The save file should be called SYSTEM.DAT.
• Simply rename SYSTEM.DAT to system.bin (make sure you do rename the extension dat to bin and not system.bin.dat).
• Copy the save to your Vita (any folder).
• On PS Vita make sure you open the game and wait until it makes a save. You need a save to be created so it can be replaced.
• Open VitaShell and navigate to ux0 > user > 00 > savedata.
• Once you see your game ID, press Triangle button > Open decrypted.
• Copy and replace system.bin.
• Done.

Final notes:​

• Note that "Checking DLC content" will show again on your Vita. A bit annoying if you have all of them, you will have to spam X. This is only a first time issue tho.
• To do the same but from Vita to PS4, just follow the tutorial but backwards.

Edit: This guide can work with not just Persona games. Every game that will follow similar structure on both systems (PS4 and Vita) will work most likely.

Huge thank you, man! This is exactly what I was looking for. For persona 4 dancing all night - to unlock the hardest difficulty you have to play through this extremely long story mode.

I just got a 100% save on vita and transferred it to Ps4 and works like a charm!
