Guide: Importing shadPS4 Trophies

[x3sphere]

If you have earned trophies on the shadPS4 emulator and would like to import them to the site, below are instructions for doing so. Do note that none of the imported trophies are counted towards site stats and will not be factored into the leaderboards for ranking. This is mainly meant for your own personal tracking purposes or if you simply want to show off your activity to others.

How to import

1. Make sure your PSN account on the site is verified, this is a requirement since the process will make changes to your profile data on the site. Navigate to your Account page -> Social (https://www.exophase.com/account/#social) to check verification status.

1. Navigate to the folder where game files from the emulator are stored on your PC. Using the main shadPS4 directory as a starting point, this should be "user/game_files". Attached is a screenshot of what the structure should look like.

2. Inside the folder should be a list of directories starting with CUSA or similar. Each folder corresponds to a PS4 game you have played on shadPS4 (ie. CUSA009000 - Bloodborne). Create a ZIP file containing all of these directories. You can also opt to only zip up specific directories, if you do not wish to import all games.

3. On the Exophase site, navigate to your Account page -> Tools (https://www.exophase.com/account/#tools) and under the Trophy Upload section attach the resulting ZIP file that was created in Step #2.

4. Once the upload completes, this should import all your shadPS4 activity and you will receive a notice at the top right indicating a successful upload.

A few other notes

1. Do not make any changes to the directory structure/files. Not only will this probably prevent shadPS4 from reading the data, the import looks for specific game IDs and the naming must match exactly.

2. Games imported through this method will not count towards site stats or EXP. If you would like to remove imported games, you can do so from your profile page by hovering over the game -> Edit icon -> Delete.

Thank you so much for both this and RPCS3's additions!
I made a new account here once I heard it was the only site that made it possible to import trophies from the PS emulators! ^^

I hope there can be someway to also implement Xenia's (X360) achievements and Vita3K's trophies at some point in the future too if possible! <3

In X360's case, apart from its exclusives, it launched with full achievement support whereas the PS3 didn't got trophy support until 2 or 3 years later, so there are dozens and dozens of multiplatform games with achievements exclusive to the X360 version: https://playstation.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_3_games_without_Trophy_support, and it'd be awesome to be able to get those too if possible

Thank you for all of your incredible work! <3

Hi, so I have tried this method above to import trophies from ShadPS4 and it does not seem to be working. I'm not sure if this is due to the emulator receiving an update and the game folders perhaps not being in the same structure as before. Above mentions finding shadps4\users\game_data and then relevant CUSA file for said game, except it now looks like save data, including for trophies is stored in \AppData\Roaming\shadPS4\home\1000\savedata\CUSA00207 as an example, with 1000 being the user profile. There is a trophy folder within the 1000 user directory, containing several .xml files with NPWR names but uploading this to the site does not seem to do anything. The only way I was able to have anything upload at all was by zipping the trophy folder itself in AppData\Roaming\shadPS4\trophy\NPWR05818_00 though all this did was add the game to the PSN tab but then no achievements are recorded? I have tried a variety of methods including zipping the NPWR05818_00 folder and dropping save data into this but seems to have the same effect. Might be worth noting the NPWR05818_00 folder contains folders with simply Icon and XML folders/files so does not appear to carry any save data, but then uploading a zip folder with any save data in just does nothing on the site.
