I cannot for the life of me get this to work right. I keep getting an error when I try to copy it to my PS4 that says Cannot copy. The application for this saved data is not installed. I have been trying lots of different games and game saves. I watched a video that says that the best way to do this is to zip the save that you want to import to the Save Wizard, then import it and it should work perfectly. All of the game saves import perfectly to the Save Wizard and show up correctly on my memory stick. Even when I put it into my PS4 all of the game saves show up perfectly on the memory stick. It's just when I go to actually copy it from the USB stick to the HDD that it gives me the message "Cannot copy. The application for this saved data is not installed." I have both of the games on my HDD in digital form that I bought from the PSN.
Lol.
" The application for this saved data is not installed. "
That means you NEED to HAVE the game installed, before you can copy the save data. So if you're trying to copy, say, Dark Souls 3 saves, you NEED to own Dark Souls 3 basically. There is no other way around it.
