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.

Last May Sony announced a new PlayStation partnership with Discord, and proceeding the unofficial PlayStationDiscord repository by @Tustin on Github Discord finally added official PlayStation support allowing users to connect your PSN account to Discord and show what you're playing with a brief tutorial below.

If you haven't done so yet, be sure to drop by the official PSXHAX.COM Discord and also our private 'floating' Area 51 Discord Channel that can be found in the Step 7 Spoiler of the PSXHAX Member Verification & PS4 FPKG Sharing Tutorial.

Here's the Connect Your PSN Account to Discord & Show What You're Playing Guide courtesy of Clyde via Discord, as follows:

PlayStation x Discord: Connect Your Account and Show What You're Playing

Back in May of 2021, our friends at PlayStation announced a new Partnership with Discord, working together to deliver new ways to integrate your PlayStation experience with Discord for your friends and communities to see. Of course, everything needed to stay super-secret at the time, so we couldn’t share anything quite yet.

But your daydreams of Squares, Triangles, and Circles swirling in the sky are over as the news drops now:

Starting today, we're gradually rolling out the ability to link your PSN account from Discord and display your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 game activity in your user profile!

If you’ve ever connected your Discord account to another service that allows you to display your activity, it works similarly here: once your Discord account is linked, the game you’re currently playing on either PS4 or PS5 will be shown as your...
