How to Transfer Saves to PC from PS Vita: Persona 4 Golden
We will recommend you to backup all the saved game files at first. Additionally, you will require a Hex Editor, an FTP client in order to save data on PC from PS Vita.
1. Modded PS Vita Method
- Open PS Vitashell > Go to the Ux0:user/00/savedata/GAME-ID. (can vary with regions)
- Head over to the GAME-ID > Press the triangle icon and select ‘Open Decrypted’.
- Next, you will need to connect PS Vita to your PC/Laptop using the FTP client.
- Copy and paste the game saves. (Otherwise, you can also copy the game saves to your ‘Ux0’ root folder on your PS Vita using the USB cable)
- Go to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\USERID\1113000\remote > Simply, copy the game save file here.
- Get the MD5 checksum of the data file from here.
- Launch the DATAXXXX.binslot and replace the highlighted characters with the MD5 checksum from here.
- Now, open the Persona 4 Golden game > Load the saves file.
- Initially, it may give you an error message. But don’t worry.
- Click on the error close (x) button on your PC to skip the error notice and the Persona 4 Golden game should run fine now.
- Finally, you can save the game file.
2. Vanilla PS Vita Method
- Backup the game via the Content Manager.
- Next, use psvimgtools-frontend in order to decrypt the processed .psvimg files easily.
- Once done, just head over to the game’s output folder and follow the same steps of the Modded PS Vita guide from receiving the MD5 checksum of the data file.
