Hi there everyone
i just bought a action replay Mas for PS2 itīs not the Evo version, i know how to update my cheats by using a UBS device, from my PC internet connection, my question is how do i make my game saves work, the way it explanes in the guide that wasincluded with the ARM, works well untill i go to my UBS device that is connected to my PS2 then it says that there is nothing on it, and i know there is something on it, cause when i take it out and put it back in my PC the files are still there. how to i make these Game saves work??
Thanks in advance

Try formating the USB pen drive to a different format...i forget if it was FAT, FAT16, or FAT32

Can you use a USB stick for PS2 game saves as long as the stick and saves on it are in the right format without a system hack? If not, which one do I need?
Thanks

You hafta buy the Action Replay memory stick because it comes with the disk to transfer files, or a Action Replay Max/Evo

Save files are suppose to be in .max format. Codebreaker is another cheat device like action replay. You can get .max files for ps2 here,but u have to unzip the files first.

Im not sure about the different region type saves will work or not.

next time use the edit button instead of having multiple posts. Second, i think .max files are already crushed files so u might have to uncrush them for the PS2 games to recognize it. (Crushing them is just the AR way to compress PS2 saves) The big letters are just telling u to backup your original save file, so u wont loose it. And the save files should work even if u don't have the Evo edition. For your memory stick to not being able to copy to...hmmm, I'm not too sure bout that...

yeah your right, i didnīt think of that my bad..hhhmmm ok, i see, i donīt understand why it canīt copy the game saves , you see i just called the place i bought ARM, and asked them what to do even they couldnīt give an ansawer as the USB Pen works with downloading codes, so it connect fine to the PS2, apperantly, itīs just the game saves there is the problem, so iīm a little lost when speaking about transfering Game Saves

hmmm ok i just really finde it strange that it works with updating your codelist, but not with game saves, do you know if that memory stick that comes with the Evo version of ARM can be bought seperately?, if so maybe i have to buy one of these

EDIT: I just remember u need the PC Program. Max Drive is the PC program for AR Max and the save file thing... not sure how to use it though. Also i donno if AR MAx have the program, but there is also a program for memory card manger for PS2 that can coipy the saves from USB to memory Stick crush data, memory stick to USB... It took me a long time to find the program on AR site, n it was along time ago, but if u cant find it i will upload it...(My DSL uploads really slow...)
Um, acually they still do have them...i could check earlier cause of some web filter on the computer i was on.
16MB
http://mod-chip.com/en/ps2_max_drive.php
128MB
http://mod-chip.com/en/ps2_max_drive_128.php
I suggest buying from the orginal manufacture instead of mod-chip... its more reliable...well it should but i have ordered from mod-chip before and they had good service. Depending on where u live u will need to order the PAL version or NTSC version cause it comes with a disk.

I recently bought a Gameshark 2 (v1.2) that includes a Memory Manager with the possibility of copying downloaded game saves from a USB Flash Drive directly to the PS2 Memory Card.
This works fine for saves that were preloaded onto the GS disc, or ones downloaded from GS's own site. However, loading my own downloaded saves has been a problem.
The file format for working game saves is .MD, and I have been trying to convert .MAX or .XPS (since these seem to be the most commonly uploaded game save type) using Savebuilder (v0.8).
Is there another way to convert those file types properly? or is it not possible?
Thanks for the help
