The PS Vita build of Apollo Save Tool manages Vita saves, PSP saves (via Adrenaline) and PS1 saves from one app. This guide installs the current release, v2.4.0 (October 17, 2026), with VitaShell.
What You Need
- A homebrew-enabled PS Vita (HENkaku / Enso family).
- VitaShell installed, with Enable unsafe homebrew turned on in its settings (required to install homebrew packages with extended permissions).
- The official package:
apollo-vita.vpk(7,343,637 bytes).
Step 1: Download and Verify
Get the .vpk from our download page or the PS Vita hub and verify its SHA-256:
25a3525efc49dd912b97b112c9b20cb333020b663cb74dc060de8697292d262a
Step 2: Transfer the VPK
Copy apollo-vita.vpk to your Vita over USB or FTP with VitaShell — ux0:data/ is a convenient location.
Step 3: Install
- In VitaShell, browse to the .vpk and press X.
- Approve the extended-permissions prompt. Apollo installs to the LiveArea.
Step 4: PSP Saves Need One Extra Step
To hash and re-sign PSP saves correctly, Apollo needs your console’s FuseID dumped from Adrenaline. Apollo can install its own dumper: open Apollo’s Tools → PSP Key Dumper tools → Install PSP FuseID Dumper, run it once in Adrenaline, and Apollo will pick the file up automatically. PSP save decryption also needs per-game keys — see PSP save decryption keys explained.
Troubleshooting
- Install fails or the app errors on launch: check Vita unsafe-homebrew and C2-12828-1 fixes — plugin conflicts are the usual cause.
