Apollo Save Tool has a save library built into the app: the Online Database, a community collection hosted on GitHub (the apollo-saves project). You browse and download saves straight from your console — typically completed or advanced game saves that can save you many hours of playing.
Step 1: Open the Online Database
- Connect your console to the internet and open Apollo.
- Choose the Online Database option in the menu. Apollo fetches the current index from the project’s GitHub pages.
- Browse by game. Saves are organised by platform and by each game’s Title ID (for example
BLUS12345), with asaves.txtindex describing what’s inside.
Step 2: Download a Save
Select the save and download it. Apollo stores it with your other saves, ready for processing. Note the project’s own honest caveat: the list of available games is still limited and grows through community contributions.
Step 3: Re-Sign Before You Play (Mandatory)
Downloaded saves will not load until you re-sign them. They are encrypted to the contributor’s account. Use Apollo’s re-signing on the downloaded save — PS4 re-signing guide or PS3 re-signing guide — then start the game.
Options Worth Knowing
- User-defined database URL: Apollo’s Settings let you point the Online Database at a different URL (your own mirror, for example).
- FTP instead: on current builds you can select an FTP server as the source for downloads and backups instead of the Online Database.
- PS2 exception: the PS2 build has no network features — it loads an offline save database from disc or USB instead.
If the Database Won’t Load
Connection failures are usually network or build problems — work through Online Database not loading fixes. To explore what the library actually contains and how to contribute your own saves, see the Online Database library tour.
