PSVita Saves now online – Sharing decrypted saves has never been easier!
Have you ever wanted to download a save file for a game that you didn’t unlock everything in? If so, PSVita Saves is the website for you since it lets you do just that!
What is PSVita Saves?
As the title suggests, it’s a website that allows you to download and upload save data for various PSVita/PSTV games. Getting finished save data is extremely useful if:
- A game requires you to unlock certain songs/levels but you don’t feel like unlocking everything and just want to play a specific song/level.
- You wish to gather all items in a game without much hassle
- You don’t feel up to the task of hacking a save data but would still like perks such as extra in-game currency
- Many other scenarios
The uploading page is fine but submissions should really be checked before they’re available for everyone to download! It works pretty well since I’ve uploaded my Diva F save with it,
This website is by Reddit user ‘AlwaysTryAnotherName’ and it’s been up for about 3 days. Unfortunately, there aren’t many saves on there but there are quite a few that you could check out.
Currently, the website isn’t in awful shape but there are some things I’d like to see improve such as:
- Showing the game name (and not only the game ID) in the recent upload list
- A system in which the uploaded zip files containing saves are manually (or automatically) checked since abuse is quite easy to carry out unfortunately
How do I upload my game saves and apply downloaded ones?
First of all, you need to download Vita Save Manager and install it on your PSVita. Remember, all game saves must be decrypted to be usable by others!
To upload games:
- Dump your game saves through Vita Save Manager
- Open VitaShell and start a USB/FTP connection with your computer/mobile device
- Go to ux0:/data/savegames
- Copy the folder of the game ID you wish to upload your save data for to your computer/mobile device
- Use an archiving utility and zip the folder you just copied.
- (Optional) Remove any extra SLOTs to only upload a single SLOT so it’s less confusing for others to install
- Follow the link below and upload your ZIP file.
Vita Save Manager MUST be used to produce useful saves!
To download games:
- Download the save data of your choice from the website
- Extract it and copy the resulting folder to ux0:/data/savegames
- Open Vita Save Manager and restore that save data into your game!
Conclusion
Hopefully, the website will get many more saves and will be improved in the future. To visit it and upload /download game save data, simply follow the link below!

soon there will be more and more saves to enjoy!
Thanks for keeping us informed.
Soon there will be a app to done everything
There is something you need to take care of when using shared gamesaves though. You need to delete the sealedkey from sce_sys since else the Game Save won’t work on your vita since it’s from another account. You need to provide your own sealedkey by backing up an empty save first and copying it into the sce_sys folder. Else the Game won’t load the Save since the PFS Encryption is invalid
At least that’s the only way I was able to use Saves from my PSVita’s old banned account
Hi Darthsternie, can you help me with something, please?
I have a 3.68 Vita that I’m gonna install The Flow’s HEN saturday when it releases. The thing is, I’m not willing to risk my account getting banned, since it’s the same account I use on PS4 and has a ton of games I bought off of PSN. So I’ll create a new account just so I can use it on Vita. The only save I really want to backup and then restore to my new account is my Pesona 4 Golden save with 70 hours plus of gameplay. How exactly do I do that?
I see that you wrote this above: You need to delete the sealedkey from sce_sys since else the Game Save won’t work on your vita since it’s from another account. You need to provide your own sealedkey by backing up an empty save first and copying it into the sce_sys folder.
How do I do that? Is it by backing up the save with CMA and then exploring the folder in Windows? Do I copy my Persona 4 Save and then explore it to find the mentioned folder and delete it’s contents, then I copy the same contents from a blank save of my new account and replace it on the Persona 4 Save?
I’d really appreciate the help, if you can. Thank you in advance.
Nice !
BTW, congrats Aurora for your full unlock of Project Diva F 😉
half-life half-live2 and half-live3 saves on teh vita now !!!!
I really like the idea of this site, it’s way better than a stupid thread where OP leaves after two weeks.
Kek. I made the thread on GBATemp. I’d let someone else take over for me if it were possible.
