wondering if anyone could clarify a few things for me, please? i am just now learning about backing up my original ps2 games...and so far i am doing ok... but now i am reading on how to load "saved game data" using a usb jump drive (pen drive) to my ps2 and i am COMPLETELY lost!!!

this is what i have right now in terms of equipment;

1.swap magic 3.6 plus
2.older/bulkier ps2, i am guessing it is a v7 (not totally sure)
3.512mb sandisk jump drive
4. flip top cover

i have read some tutorials on how this works but i am SORRY...i still don't get it. could a kind soul here explain to me in a simple way as you were explaining to a 5 years old person, please? i am not sure what else i have to buy...action replay max evo? or would my 3.6 swap magic do the work? do i need to install anything onto my jump drive? i read some stuff about .elf files onto the root of the jump drive...but i still don't get it...

i thank you all in advance, and i apologize for my slowness in this matter...

if all you wanna do is transfer save files then get a hold of ar max evo. It lets you manage mem cards and it supports usb flash drives (not all flash drives are compatible though). Just read up a bit more on this topic to be sure swap magic loads up ar max.

NTSC DNAS threads.

thank you westar.
but is action replay max evo the only way to go?
i did read some stuff arround here and at some other sites...i was under the impression that i could also use swap magic 3.6 plus and a program that you install onto your pen drive...some exploit of some sort...not sure...as i said...i am really confused...

another question i have, can action replay max evo be backed up? or are those discs pressed just like the swap magic ones?

thank you in advance...

Re AR Max back-up,

Yes you can back up AR Max using Blind Write but you'll need to have a modchip (or swap magic) so that the PS2 can recognise the AR Max back up.
