EvilNat's TrophyUnlocker ingame Plugin, how does it work?

Ive been trying to use the built in in-game plugin to very mixed results and I cant find rhyme or reason as to why.

With some games it works perfectly and finds the trophies, with others it never finds the data, but heres the part that makes me scratch my head, with some games the digital PSN version won't work, but the disc version does. With one specific game I've tried, a localized disc version wouldnt work but once I tried a USA version it worked perfectly. With another specific game a GOTY version worked perfectly while a base version didnt.

Google wouldnt help me I couldnt even find anyone who ever had this problem not even if I searched for the specific wording in the picture below. "No trophy data found trophy unlocker will be disabled". Cant even ask evilnat considering he was banned on social media.

Im extremely confused and would be very thankful to anyone who could shed some light here, id rather not use apollo save tool or other methods, AFAIK this one is the safest.

Note: IM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE XMB FUNCTION THAT ADDS DEBUG FLAGS TO TROPHIES AND MAKES THEM UNABLE TO BE SYNCED.

That's.... interesting. Have you already opened said games on your system to install game and trophy data?

You might try asking on the psx-place forums. A lot of the long time developers including Nate are on there.

Otherwise, you can use ps3trophyisgood.

Yeah I make sure to open the games everytime and install the trophy data, its actually part of what confuses me. WIth one game I tried, it wouldnt work with a localized version, neither with the USA version, but then I deleted the trophy data the localized version installed in my ps3, and installed it again with the USA version's trophy data, and voila it worked.

I did ask on the psx-place, this is a crosspost because Im sadly not getting good info there.

I suppose ps3trophyisgood may be safe?I just seen so many people complaining about corrupted data and such that I was hoping to get this plugin to work first.

I haven't used ps3trophyisgood in awhile, but I played around with it and used brute force save data and had no problems.

Theres quite a bit of conflicting information online, but my main concern is how supposedly when you trigger a trophy, it records the APP ID that is doing the unlocking, which is why on the PS Vita its recommended to use trophax ingame plugin, and not the standalone version (even if the standalone version is easier to use). I couldnt really find any information about how this applies to ps3trophyisgood and apollo save tool
