i have a ar max without the media player function and i can't load the codes into my ffxii.
when i boot the ps2 normally it's stops at the message with "ensure your game disk is inserted" and when i click on it the messages comes up again".
then i tested it to boot the armax cd with fmbc....after the cd switch and the code choosing,
i came up with the message again....i switched the cd with my ffxii backup and then it comes up with the window "launching game" with the datel logo above, but there it's freezing....


i hoped that anybody know to get the trick without the media player, because i was looking around in every shop near my home and nobody is selling this.
i was reading in forums that on german ebay the people selling the ar max cd without media player (even when it's writen in the description). i don't want to have a try.
These methods are about booting backups with the armax cd.

The only way to use the armax codes with a backup is to have a copy of the armax evo for Swap Magic.

Read through this page to see the method on how to use the Armax for Swap Magic to use cheat codes.

Codebreaker10.elf thats patched for hdloader will work with fmcb.

hey. first of all i will be really grateful to anyone who takes the times to answer my question.

here it is...
i am trying to play backup games on my slim ps2 using AR max, so i tryed following through the guide on this post, but the "Independence Compiler Program 3.0" fails to make a bin/cue file for making the cogswaploader disc, so i'm stuck at this point.

Does anyone know how another way of making the cogswaploader disc?
or another method i could use?

Yes you are screwed sorry to say.
It has to be the one with media player.

If you want you can get someone to install fmcb 1.8 to a mc for you.
It only costs you the postage to them and back to you.

Scroll down for the link to the guys who will do this.

I'm confused about this

"Eject disc tray normally and put in an "big"/"high TOC" official PS2 game (like GTA)"

So does it have to be a special game with a "high toc" (whatever that means) or will any game work?

It has to be bigger than the backup you are going to swap with.

Do you have uLe on your mc, then launch it and use "Filebrowser"
Browse your mc0 and select the save you want to copy using R1, then Hit Triangle to go back
Then go to MASS:/ and open it, Hit R1 again and select PSUPASTE

When you want them back on your memory card, just do the reverse.

Hey guys will this method help boot the backup with cheats on? I have a slim v12 with magic keys installed. I have swap magic 3.6 and backup of AR MAX EVO. I tried using cheats with backup and it and it just goes to a black screen and nothing happens. Ive been reading oon the forums for 3 weeks now to come up with a solution to play backups with cheats. Any ideas?

The Armax for Swapmagic edition will allow you to use cheats on a backup disc using Swap Magic.

You can find it here in my post.
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/6/216060#2779020

There is a readme along with the download.

I haven't updated it inawhile though.

Nope that one won't work, it doesn't have the "media Player"

Usually a good way to know is that it will say 30,000 cheats.

This one looks like the right one. I would ask the seller if he knows the version number and if it has the media player.

Would it be less of a hassle just to buy swap magic instead of search for the correct version of AR? And with a mod-chip would it matter the size of the TOC? Eh I'm probably just gonna get a mod chip because my warranty is already void anyway, can you recommend a good one?

Yes it would be less hassle to get Swap Magic discs.

With a modchip you can do more, like play PS1 backups, DVD9 media etc.
Chipmod Pro +2, Duo 3 Ultra, Matrix Infinity, DMS4, those are all good.

Or you could check out the fmcb 1.8
It is installed to mc, and once installed no need for BOOT disks.

If you already have fmcb 1.8 , there is no need for this method of swapping

Hi thanks for posting the tutorial, it is very useful to me.

However I encounter an error similar to many others which have been noted by others, regarding the red galaxy on the CDLOADER.ELF screen.

I have a PAL Fat V9 PS2 and I have a version of AR which uses the use of the AR Max specially formatted CD to install the exploit from.

I burn a two cdr disks one containing CDLOADER.ELF (tendered through Max Media Creator) which I am able to correctly get going from the media option from the AR MAX.

My other CD contains the exploit which was compiled with independencecompiler 3.0 running under compatibility mode XP and admin rights.
The compiler contains COGSWAP.ELF (I could not find cogswaploader.elf anywhere), my trigger disk's code, and the Installer/PAL setting set.

I burnt both disks with Nero 7 at 4x speed.

When I insert the CDLOADER disk I press play and it correctly brings me to the galaxy screen.

I change the language to english with the O button.

I then remove the CDLOADER disk and insert my ARMax disk to which it reads the message "PS2 CD" then I use the swap method and insert the compiled disk.

As soon as I press X the screen jumps to the red galaxy and after about 5 to 10 minutes it returns back to the CDLOADER menu and it gives an error message when trying to read the disk. Even when I return AR Max inside.

Can someone find any flaws or missing steps in my method? Alternatively is there another way in which I can install the exploit, hopefully taking into account that my ARMax does not support USB.

Thanks

@ ramzah

Ok first off, you are using the cdloader made by jjax, which can be downloaded on the first page.
It is the only CDloader that will work.

Also you can burn your CD at 12-16x speed. 4x-8x is for DVD

You can also use the PS2 Exploit Utility 5 to make your trigger disc. It is much newer and better.
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/624363 - there is also a guide in the one link.

Thanks for the quick reply, Ill let you know how it goes using the newer compilation software.


If this fails Ill probably get a network adapter and use the SEND method.
