Happy new year!

Apollo Save Tool v0.6.0 for the PlayStation 4 is out!

Auto save-mount patches, account activator, fingerprint dump, and more:
https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-ps4/releases/latest

Works on 5.05, 6.72, 7.02, 7.5x
Unsupported: 9.00

Release Notes:

currently 9.00 firmware is not supported,

the save-mounting patches crash the app.

When running 9.00 the save-mount patches will be skipped, and you won't be able to access HDD save-games.

Remember to collect, share and submit SaveWizard codes!, a lot of ps4 games have codes and could be added easily to Apollo.... but the community needs to get up and help, no coding skills needed, just a web browser and a Notepad.

FAQs
1. Where I can get a save-game for XYZ game?
