Hey there. Im new to the board and new to the whole backup thing so Im just looking for a little feedback on how I might be able to make my life easier.

I have a PS2 v1. (yea I know old but still like new) with a flip top and Swap Magic 3.3 Using DVD decrypter and Nero burning on Sony DVD-R.

My question is, is there anyway I can use AR Max on backed up games (for cheats) and if so how, and if I need any other utilities which ones and where can I get them.

Thanks in advance

AR MAX

DVD BACKUPS
1. Boot AR MAX
2. Select the codes you want
3. Select Start Game
4. The cd/dvd drive will now eject automatically.
If you have a version 1-8 ps2 replace the AR MAX with the swap magic cd.
If you have a version 9/10 ps2 replace the AR MAX with the Swap magic dvd.
Once you have made the appropriate swap press eject to close the cd/dvd drive and press x.
5. Once the Swap magic cd/dvd has loaded do the following...
If you have a version 1-8 ps2 swap the swap magic cd with the cdloader using ea method and press x.
If you have a version 9/10 ps2 swap the swap magic dvd with the dvdloader using ea method and press x.
6. Once the cd/dvdloader has loaded press eject and swap the cd/dvdloader with a high toc original such as the swap magic dvd and press eject to close.
7. Wait about 7 seconds and press x.
8. Once the screen that says "swap dvdr by ea method" comes up swap the high toc original with your dvd-r backup using ea method and press x.
9. Your backup will now load with cheats.

Sony should be okay.
(look at my sig thats what i use and i have
over 50 ps2 dvd backups)
i would get some (4x MAX media)atleast
That media should have accepted speeds
of (1x,2x,2.4x,4x).
You really want to burn as slow as possible.

good luck
