Update Action Replay Max Ps2 Usb Utilities
Patch software free download. The Action Replay MAX is a 'gamebreaker' for the Sony PlayStation 2 game console. While its primary use is for unlocking cheat codes for all games, it also enables the user to play imported DVDs.
Like loads of people, I had a trouble of backing up a Ps2 Action Replay Max with the 'Newer Codes'. I tried everything, trying to switch the codes, modify the cd's, But still to no avail. I finally got my Internet Router so I was able to just manually download the codes off the internet using my ps2 back up disc but some people don't so I found this guide and decided to put it here. Over here, I'll mention the method which WORKED PERFECTLY FINE and worked awesome on my modded PS2 Credit to RAZ from Emu Paradise. I modified it a bit [bold]Tools Needed[/bold] Action Replay MAX/(EVO) Blank CD/DVD Nero Damian Tools [bold]Method[/bold] Step 1 - Put your AR Max Disc in your CD/DVD-Rom drive and/or mount your AR Max Image using Daemon Tools (thats what I did). Step 2 - Go to 'My Computer' and double click on the drive that has your AR Max disc/image, so it will show you its contents. These should look somewhat like this.
Step 3 - Press ctrl + A (select all) and then ctrl + C (Copy) and then make a new folder in your C OR D DRIVE. Name it whatever you want. Step 4 - Press ctrl + V (Paste). Now it should copy and paste all the contents of the AR Max disc to that new folder. Step 5 - Download the latest codelist from the link below. Latest US Codelist. Latest EU Codelist Step6 - Rename 'codelist_us.bin' TO 'US_CODELIST.BIN'.
(Rename 'codelist_eu.bin' to 'EU_CODELIST.BIN' if you're making a PAL Updated AR Max Evo Disc, which should be done seperately. DO NOT UPDATE BOTH OF THE CODELISTS. Just update the US codelist if you wanna make an updated disc that has NTSC games. If you want an updated disc with PAL games, then leave the original US codelist INTACT and overwrite the EU codelist. This is because if you update both the codelists and boot the disc on your modded ps2, the codelists won't load. Step 6 - Browse to that new folder on your C or D drive and then go to RES => CODELIST and overwrite the old codelist with the NEW ONE.
Step 7 - Open up Nero Express and select 'Data Disc'. Then click 'Add' and browse to that newly created folder and press ctrl + A (select all) and click 'Add' and then click 'Finished'. Step 8 - Click Next and THEN CLICK THE NERO BUTTON (as shown in image) which will switch to Nero Burning Rom. Step 9 - After switching to Nero Burning Rom, a popup window will open up named 'Burn Compilation'. Click the ISO tab. Step 10 - In the ISO tab, change the 'Format' to 'Mode 2 / XA' DO NOT CHANGE ANY OTHER SETTINGS.
Step 11 - Now click the Burn tab again, and make sure 'Write' and 'Finalize CD' are selected and set the 'Write Speed' to the MAXIMUM LOWEST POSSIBLE ON YOUR PC. On my PC, the maximum lowest is 4x. Step 12 - Put a BLANK CD into your burner and click 'Burn' THATS IT. After the CD has been made, check it out on your modded PS2. It should work just fine with the latest codelists of latest games If you do not have Nero and want to use any other burning program like Alcohol 120%, CloneCD, CDRwin, etc, etc, just make sure you're burning the disc using the following settings. Disc type: CDROM-XA Track mode: MODE2 FORM1 FINALIZE/CLOSE SESSION Enjoy!!!
