Hello everyone, found out how to save and replace saves from and to PS4-PS Vita for games that have been released on both platforms.

Normally, the cross-save function baked in the games require PSN, so this is a way to get around that.

Requirements:

• Both PS4 & PS Vita need to be hacked/jailbroken. Firmware doesn't matter, game versions don't matter either.
• For PS4: Apollo Save Tool
• For PS Vita: VitaShell
• Games need to follow the same or similar structure on both platforms (PS4 / Vita)

Copying and replacing the saves:

• Open Apollo Save Tool > HDD Saves > Your game.
• Export Decrypted Save Files and select your USB drive.
• Apollo will create a folder on the USB drive (PS4 > APOLLO). The save file should be called SYSTEM.DAT.
• Simply rename SYSTEM.DAT to system.bin (make sure you do rename the extension dat to bin and not system.bin.dat).
• Some games might have different naming schemes for the files but as long as both the Vita and PS4 have similar naming schemes then the games will most likely work.
• Copy the save to your Vita (any folder).
• On PS Vita make sure you open the game and wait until it makes a save. You need a save to be created so it can be replaced.
• Open VitaShell and navigate to ux0 > user > 00 > savedata.
• Once you see your game ID, press Triangle button > Open decrypted.
• Copy and replace system.bin.
• Done.

Final notes:

• Note that "Checking DLC content" will show again on your Vita. A bit annoying if you have all of them, you will have to spam X. This is only a first time issue tho.
• Tested and confirmed working on Persona Dancing series (3, 4 & 5) & Gundam Breaker 3 Break Edition.
• To do the same but from Vita to PS4, just follow the tutorial but backwards.
• If you test a game, please comment if this method works for that game, as I plan on making a list on my wiki.

Hello everyone, since my Changing the PS4 System Sounds Tutorial and How to Make a Custom Dynamic PS4 Theme Guide posted earlier, I (aka florinsdistortedvision) decided to make a PlayStation 4 custom Dynamic Theme PS4 PKG for Persona 3 using the Aegis character.

Download: Persona 3 Aegis Theme.pkg (22.5 MB) / Persona_3_Aegis_Theme.pkg (Mirror) / PS4DynamicThemesRepo GIT / Orbis Unjailed Wiki

It uses custom music (Burn My Dread Last Battle + intro electric piano from Persona Live 2013), custom icons (default icons but dark blue & gray) and Persona 3 UI sound effects.

Icon:

Main dynamic background:

Also, I decided to make a GitHub repo that will hold custom dynamic themes. If you made a theme, let me know and I will upload it.

Recently I (@Persona4Golden aka FLRIZBACK) shared a Changing All System Sounds on PS4 Tutorial, and today I've added to my FlorinsDistortedVision Github repository a guide on How to Make a Custom PS4 Dynamic Theme for a PlayStation 4 Console.

Spoiler: Depreciated

This comes following the PS4 Theme Editor with Sample Custom Theme, PS4 Theme Creator Tool, Dumping PS4 Themes Tutorial, Making / Installing Permanent PS4 Themes Guide (Permanent PS4 Theme PKG Spreadsheet), PS4 Retail Theme Unlocker Windows GUI Front-End and...

Following the PS4 Custom BGM, Theme PKGs & PS4 Background Wave FBXD Format, below is a brief guide by me (@Persona4Golden aka FLRIZBACK on Reddit) for changing the PlayStation 4 System Sounds:

1. Changing PS4 Login Sound

• The login sound can be found in : /preinst/priv/systembgm/ and the file is called bgm_login.at9.
• A .wav file can be easily converted via at9tool.
• To change it, bgm_login.at9 needs to be replaced or renamed to bgm_login.at91 etc, via Full R/W FTP such as OrbisFTP.
• Reboot.

2. Changing PS4 Background Music

• The background music can be found in : /system_ex/app/NPXS20001/systembgm/ and the file is called bgm_main.at9.
• A .wav file can be easily converted via at9tool.
• To change it, bgm_main.at9 needs to be replaced or renamed to bgm_main.at91 etc, via Full R/W FTP such as OrbisFTP.
• Reboot.

3. Changing PS4 System Sounds

• All the files can be found in: /system_ex/vsh_asset/ and the file is called Sce.PlayStation.PUI.rco (previously named Sce.PlayStation.HighLevel.UI2.rco, not sure at what point a new firmware changed that).
• The .rco can be easily extracted via cxml-decompiler.
• The files converted will be in a .vag format. Most of them are 0:01 or 0:02 seconds in time, in .vag 4-bit ADPRCM 438kps at 48kHz stereo files.
• A .wav file can be easily converted via...
