Im not sure. Just put your action replay and put it on the harddrive. Than Load it up from harddrive using hd dvance. Select the codes and press start, eject and put your hd advance in , than play the game with the cheats on and hopefully it should work

Why is it that it wont let me do this. I do everything correctly up to the point where I have to put the modified ARMAX files into cdvdgen. I put all the files and make it look exactly like how you have it in the picture. But whenever I click export iml file, it says " too short location length : less than 600 000 sector" Why is ti saying this and how can I make it stop?

You don't need the CD DVD gen.Just use Nero to burn the files.I did it and it works ok.Just remeber, put the ar max files and the cd loader files all in the root directory of the disc.Of course, the content the folders that came originnaly with CD loader and AR MAX can't be put there.
Sorry if i messed up lol.

What do you mean by that? Cus I just put all the stuff that was in the edited ARMAX folder and put it into Nero and burned both a cd and dvd but neither of them work. Do i HAVE to have swap magic for this to work? Cus If i do I might as well stop this now lol. All I have is cogswap loader and cd loader(which I dont know how to use).

do you have the original AR MAX?
I know what is your problem, but you need something to take the system configuration file out of the memory card to edit in your pc, or you need to make a new exploit.Cogswap loader won't play that cd, you will need to use Launchelf 3.41 to boot that cd, but you need it to make it the boot file on the exploit file of the memory card.
You can find launchelf 3.41 in www.exploitstation.com.

I do have the original ARMAX disc. I do not have ARMAX EVO though (atleast I dont think I do. I have the usb stick). The ARMAX disc is a CD for me so I dont know why hes saying o use DVD Decrypter. Is there anything like DVD Decrypter for CDs. As I said before too, is it absolutely necessary that I have swap magic.

Ok, what you gotta do is this:
1-Get your AR MAX EVO cd, and copy the files inside to a folder.I think there will be a problem while copying the BIG.dat 1 or 2, i'm not sure, but get worried with that, that files aren't going to be needed (Cdloader has them)
2-Now download this: http://www.swapmagicfix.com/CDLoader_V7_BETA_5.2.zip
And extract the files to the same folder of AR MAX (overwrite the system.cnf)
Ok, you got it all there, now, you see the msystem.cnf?(msystem, it's not a typo)Open the notepad, and open that file.
You will see this:
\MENU 1\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 2\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 3\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 4\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 5\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 6\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 7\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 8\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 9\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 10\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
Now, you see the sles, or slus file from ar max?Substitute the first line with this:
\AR MAX EVO\cdrom0:\SLES_500.09;1 (In my case, i'm european)
\MENU 2\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 3\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 4\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 5\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 6\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 7\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 8\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 9\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
\MENU 10\cdrom0:\PS2LOAD.ELF;1
If you're american, you must have a slus file, just substitute the letters and numbers, but put them in the same form.
Now, everythings set up, just burn that on a cd.
Now, go to exploitstation.com and look for launchelf 1.41 on elf library.
What you gotta do now is, with a help of AR MAX EVO, copy your system configuration file to your pc(the one that has the exploit), and now, using PS2 save builder, delete the boot.elf that is there, and rename the launchelf.elf to boot.elf, and add it to the save file.If you use cogswaploader to boot games, you can also download it from exploitstation.com and put it there, without renaming it.Now, get it back to the memory card.
Boot the PSX game.You will see a blue screen.Don't be scared, it's super simple to use, and you will see how useful launchelf is.Anyway, press select to go to the config.Now you will see the buttons of the playstation.This is for key binding.Go to any key, and press O.You will see MC0:,MC1:,HDD,CDFS,MASS, and MISC.Go to MISC.See ps2 DISC?Press O on it.It's now binded to your choosen key.Now, put a cd rom ps2 game(the blue ones) and wait untill STOP DISC comes at the top of the window.Now, you can do the swap thing, and put the burned CD loader with ar max.Trust me you can.Now, press the key to boot PS2 disc, and if everything went well, it will boot the cd.
A black screen with white letters will appear.Put the Reset IOP to always.This is important and AR MAX won't work if you don't do it.
Now, you will be taken to the normal cd loader screen.Just press X and you will see AR MAX EVO on the first line.Press X on it.It will boot AR MAX.It's a good idea to have a codelist on the memory card because for some reason it won't boot the one from the cd.Select the game, codes and press start.start the game.Don't worry about not changing game, just start the game with the CDloader armax cd inside.It will take you back to the cd loader screen.Now, just take the cd out, put a ps2 original dvd, press X, and do the swap when it tells you, and you're ready to roll.
Now, you have learned everything that you needed to use the program, but since you have a new program in hands and maybe you don't know how to use it, i'll give some tips.
It's a good idea to bind keys to the filebrowser that you saw on the misc section.It lets you view and copy the contents of the cd, to the memory card, between memory's, and even USB (mass).PS2 browser takes you back to the normal ps2 browser(the one of the ps2 main menu).If you have cogswaploader on the memorycard, you can bind a key to that too.
Ok, i think it is done, hope it works for you

Ups, sory for the double post...
Oh i remeber about something.If the system.cnf doesn't boot for some reason, you can always try to boot the ps2load.elf using the filebrowser on the cd.

You want to Update the codelist on your memorycard, right?
So, do this.You must have the original AR MAX EVO and a pen drive to make this work.You must have a ar max settings file on the memory card, copy it to usb drive, and then to the pc.Open with PS2 save builder.Now, install this program:
http://www.mirality.co.nz/maxcode.php
It's easy to use, just choose your region, download the codelist, and select the games that you have, includng the backups.This program is extremly useful, because you only have the codelist for the games you have, and not for all games, wich takes up a lot of space in the memorycard.Anyway, after making your own codelist, save it somewhere.Now, go back to ar max settings file.Go to add file, and add the codelist into the AR MAX save.Save it, and then copy it back to the memory card.It will work.
Now, everytime you want to update it, you must take off the save file, do another codelist, and do the same process, and copy it back to the memory.
Any questions, just ask.

Try working with launch elf.It let's you copy files between USB drives and Memory cards.Besides, it is really useful and recommended to everyone.

hi, i have a similar problem.
my (original) AR Max Evo wont boot/load Backup games.
im not sure if this is AR's fault or my chips (Ripper 3.2u Firmw. 3.3)
do you know if this could be fixed when i create a cd using your tut. ?
(i just want to ask before wasteing a cd)
another question...
is there a way to include the new saves/codes in the cd bevore burning?
(would save some space on mc)
and your talking about a dvd above, my AR Max is A cd (At least Alcohol's drive info says so)
thanks for your time

Yeah, it is going to work, just follow the instructions without swaping discs.You just need to put them on the drive normally.
No,, there's no way.I've tried but it seems that AR MAX doesn't read the codelist of the cd.But you can try to use the program i putted before to creat a super small codelist list and insert it into the ar max save file.The instructions are on a post of mine somewhere above.
And save files, i don't think it is going to work too.
