Apollo crashing before you even see the menu is an environment problem, not a save problem. The checklist differs by platform — find yours. Universal Checks (All Platforms) Update Apollo. Old builds break as environments change around them. Install the current release from the download page and verify the checksum this time. Re-apply your jailbreak/homebrew…
The signature failure of save re-signing: you do everything “right,” and the game still announces the save belongs to another user. The cause is a mismatch between the account the save was signed to and the account you’re playing on. How Apollo Decides the Account Apollo auto-detects the current profile’s IDs — PS4 User ID…
PSP saves are encrypted per game and tied to the console that created them. When Apollo (on PSP, or on Vita via Adrenaline) can’t decrypt a save or produces one the game rejects, you’re almost certainly missing one of two keys. Piece 1: The Per-Game Save Key Decrypting a PSP save needs that game’s save…
Two Vita-specific problems block Apollo: the .vpk refuses to install, or the app installs but crashes on boot with error C2-12828-1. Both have known fixes. Install Blocked: Enable Unsafe Homebrew Apollo is homebrew that needs extended permissions. In VitaShell: Open VitaShell’s settings and turn on Enable unsafe homebrew. Browse to apollo-vita.vpk and install it again,…
The Online Database inside Apollo is a community library hosted on GitHub (apollo-saves) that the app fetches over the network. When it shows nothing, spins forever, or reports a connection failure, the problem sits in one of four places. 1. The Console’s Connection Confirm the console can reach the internet at all (browser or another…
A “save data is corrupted” message after re-signing or patching has a handful of predictable causes. Recovery comes first; diagnosis second. Step 1: Restore Your Backup If you exported the original save before editing (Apollo: Export Save to USB), copy it back and confirm the game loads it. That proves the game and console are…
Apollo only lists saves that sit in the exact folders it scans, in the state it expects. When a save “doesn’t show up,” run this checklist top to bottom — the first two items fix most cases. 1. Is the Save in the Right Folder? PS4 decrypted saves (the kind you downloaded or want to…
Two related failures hit PS4 users: the package installer refuses the Apollo .pkg, or Apollo installs but crashes on launch with CE-34878-0 (the PS4’s generic “an error has occurred in the application” code). Work through the checks in order. 1. Verify You Have the Genuine Package Most install failures are a bad download. The official…
Error 80029563 appears on a PS3 when a package file fails the console’s installation checks and the install aborts. When it hits while installing Apollo Save Tool, the cause is almost always one of three things — and none of them is Apollo itself. Cause 1: HEN Wasn’t Enabled On a HEN console, homebrew packages…
