  • you might wonder... why is it called Apollo?
    Apollo was the twin brother of Artemis, goddess of the hunt. Since this project was born using the Artemis-GUI codebase, I decided to respect that heritage by calling it Apollo.

    So, without further ado, let's present Apollo:

    Apollo Save Tool is an application to manage save-game files on the PlayStation 3.

The dirt 3 save don't work. You can resign the save but when you load profiles in the game it's appear like corrupt data profile.

Hello, can you make it so that we can edit the time and date of the trophies? Thanks for all your hard work :)
Click to expand...

changing the date-time at code level is quite simple, the issue here is to build a UI visual widget so the user can pick-up the desired date/time for the trophy.

That would involve a lot of work, and it really wouldn't have much use beyond this trophy-related issue.

Feel free to open an issue on GitHub so I can keep this enhancement request for the future.

Done (:

Just wanted to say, this really helped me out a lot, i used to use the DEX "Fake Save Data Owner" option in DEX to use any saves and this really saved me once i converted my main system i use for games back to CEX. Great job! :D

nice to hear that Apollo helped out moving back to CEX! :D

btw, for anyone who has no clue about Apollo, just saw a detailed v1.5.8 youtube video tutorial, including saves and trophies (from Brazil, so it's in portuguese):
 
ashura
I want to upload a tutorial as well for spanish language as well i think that will be important to get to know more people about this useful tool

@bucanero Would it be possible to add an XMB copying mode for copying save to USB from HDD and vice versa?

Sort of like the CFW package installer or webMAN games tab that allows you to
select stuff in a side tab/column.

This doesn't seem too work when selecting a trophy for unlock and rebuilding database it shows It's locally offline but after synching nothing happens it acts like you did not even unlock a trophy which is strange.

Are you unlocking your own trophy sets? You will not be able to synchronize trophy sets from other systems using PS3TrophyIsGood or Apollo
 
PopCornLover
Logged into my own user open up Apollo you see your own games that have been synced to the server, and you open them, and it shows what's been synced and what's locked etc.

So you click X on a locked one, then go to the top and apply and resign. Then you rebuild the database, and it shows locally offline, but soon as you sync it does not sync to the actual server.

Is this issue happening on a specific title or it occurs for all of your games?
