PS4 Save Mounter/Apollo Problems

[Blackgloves23]

what's the different between gengp4.exe and gengp4-app and gengp4-patch?
I understand the other 2 are to help you create a fpkg and an update fpkg. But why also have a separate application that just says gengp4?

gengp4 readies everything for you, so you don't have to prepare the game for repkg.

I see.

Also i just found out that there is a some difference with orbis-pub gen in the fake_tools and the one in fake_tools 3.87

 

[godreborn]

they're taken from different sdk's. I think 3.87 is from 5.50.

 

[Blackgloves23]

still no success.

I went to apollo and copied my 6 saves as zips If you want to take a look.
Please note that the EU keystone is changed back to fake keystone. But the US zips have the legit keystone.
I can share. I don't think the param file contains my user id or account id. I see people sharing these zips that come from apollo.

 

[godreborn]

the one from the save contains account id. it's at offset 0x15c, and it's byte reversed.

 

[Blackgloves23]

ah i see.

how can i share my files? Just go through the decrypted way?

 

[godreborn]

that's one of the reasons you're not supposed to upload or change the sce_sys folder. the account id will make the save not work on another account or ps4. just copy everything but the sce_sys folder.

 

[Blackgloves23]

Here you go bud.

These are all decrypted saves with no sce_sys folder.
Note: EU saves have fake keystone.

0-0 = Autosave
0--1 = Sys Data
0-21Slot = Sys Data Extra

 

[godreborn]

do you have two saves?

 

[Blackgloves23]

Ignoring the sys data saves, there's only one save for each region and that is the autosave (0-0).

I've tried using the guy's method of tweaking with the savedata.db and I still reached the same issue.
"save is not compatible"

I even downgraded my save apollo tool and used the same version as MW. Same end result there as well.
Re-region just doesn't work. At least not for RE2.

Looks like my only option is to buy SW I guess.
I give up lol

Yeah, most likely not possible with that game if you've tried all that. I wouldn't buy save wizard for one save, especially not knowing if all saves can be region changed.

Most definitely not worth it only for one game.
Also, I tried another US RE2 save.

Put it in the same way that MW did in last save apollo video (PS4/SAVEDATA/0000000000000000/CUSA09193/xxxx game saves
in the root of my usb.

Opened Apollo, went to USB Saves, and downloaded each game save to my hdd.
I hit "yes" to resign to all of them.
Then I made sure to inject my org keystone so I don't get a "save corrupted message".

Game loads, and then it doesn't even read my saves. It forces me to rebuild a new sys data settings with choosing my settings, brightness, etc.

So the issue is not within the region, keystone, or param.sfo. I truly do think some game saves cannot be transferred over no matter what you do.

I wonder if someone at SW has a way to decrypt original passcode keys. I'm sure they are using something similar to sony to bypass this.

This reminds me of the days where PS3 had a similar issue with some group wanting $$$ so people could play games above 3.60 FW. That trueblue dongle crap, remember?

Anyways, i've let bucanero know about my issue on his github. I'd appreciate it if you can share my situation here with him on discord. Maybe, this issue of mine can lead to a better Save Apollo app one day!

Thanks for all the help!

 

[godreborn]

I just posted it, since I also have discord on my phone.

 

[Blackgloves23]

Keep me posted please.

Would love to stay connected on this!
