What I have:
Action Replay Max Evo Edition w/ 16MB USB Drive (Original, Not A Back-Up)
Swap Magic 3.6 w/ slide card
Great Quality Media DVD-R for Back-UP G@mes (Sony DVD-R)

My Problem: Red Screen of DEATH!!!?????

Step1) I turn on my PS2 with USB Drive and AR MAX already in.

Step2) AR MAX starts up. I go to expert mode.

Step3) I choose the code(s) I want and insert Swap Magic 3.6 when it says "Please make sure you have Game Disc Inserted"

Step4) I "Start games with X amount of codes" and goes to AR MAX "Loading Game..." screen

Step5) Swap Magic 3.6 starts up, I insert Back-Up G@me with slide card and press X on "Load Program"

Step6) Screen goes blank for about 2 seconds, shows the "Browser" screen for about half a seconds AND THEN I GET THE AWESOME RED SCREEN OF DEATH!!! "Please Insert Playstation 2 Game" or something like that.

What I have tried to do......

DVD LOADER METHOD: Failed
CD LOADER METHOD: Failed
Trying 1 codes at a Time: Failed
Removing USB @ AR MAX "Loading Game..." Screen: Failed
Removing Memory Card from Playstation 2 before powering on and trying all of the above: Failed


If anybody else had this same problem and resolved it, Please inform me of the resolution! I would greatly appreciate it.

Peace

I have an older PS2(SCPH-30001 R) if that helps any.

This sounds like your back up game(DVD) does not burn properly. Try using a quality dvd media (dvd-r) and burn atleast 4x. That should do the trick.

Clone CD is great for backing up medias.

ok i figured out the pull the memory card out at the launching game screen of AR Max, but my backup of AR Max only boots 50% of the time and that's generous. i end up turning my console on and off quite a few times before my swap magic3.6 CD-Rom disc will boot it. should i try burning s different speed? i burned 2x and 4x, both seem to have the same problem and tried flipping the power in the back off before re-booting.

lol. there is no way you can use ar max with any swap magic by itself. you MUST have and use the dvd loader for it to work. here is how to do it:

Cheat Device > Swap Magic > DVD Loader > Swap Magic > Game

dont ask me where to dl dvd loader. google is your friend!
