Transfer PS3 save from console to RPCS3:

You will need a modded PS3 (CFW or HEN) with apollo save tool and multiMAN installed.
Note: I forgot the exact path for the USB drive. But PS3 HDD/SSD & your Linux PC paths are correct.
Make sure you replace GAME_NAME with the saves game name (like for Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F 2nd [USA] the name for slot 0 is NPUB31488_SYSTEM00.

In apollo save tool, export the save to USB. Then with the same save create a decrypted version in the menu.

With multiMAN file manager, copy (and overwrite) the SECURE.BIN from /dev_hdd0/tmp/apollo/GAME_NAME/SECURE.BIN to /dev_USB0/GAME_NAME/SECURE.BIN .

Now eject your USB with the save and insert it into your RPCS3 PC.

Now transfer you USB:/GAME_NAME save folder contents to ~/.config/rpcs3/dev_hdd0/home/00000001/savedata/GAME_NAME/

Your save should now be successfully transferred!
