From my understanding, you will need either action replay (with USB support) or a PSX trigger disc (almost any PSX game). I am pretty sure codebreakers and gamesharks will work.
Looks like you need a PSX disc to do the exploit with codebreaker --->link.
Couldn't find guides on gameshark but I know there are some.
I would definitely not recommend buying HD Loader pressed. Go with HDloder v0.8c as cee43ja1 mentioned. Not sure if you need both, but like I said from my understanding you only need one or the other.
Check out this link --->link
You can get a PSX game (crash bash) for $2.
Dang, none of em have it? Do you have a Wal-mart close by?

Question 1: If I buy Action Replay Max, I won't be needing a PSX Disc?
Question 2: The only thing I need now is Action Replay Max?
Question 3: I can use the downloaded version of HDLoader v0.8c?
Question 4: After all this, I will be able to play CD/DVD/Double Layer version of PS2 backed up games without a problem?
I know, I'm asking too many question but If I have to get them, I want to order them all at once. It's harder than I thought and I know you guys have been commenting back and forth. I really appreciate it and if you could just bare with me a little while to get it working. I hope all the hard work and the money i spend gets paid off.
-Sucks that when I can get a hold of CodeBreakers, I can't get a hold of PSX Disc or Action Replay Max. Wal-Mart, Target and other stores doesn't carry them anymore. The only choice I have now is to buy them online. I think, I will get ARMAX. Will be easier rather than getting two thing.
EDIT: The Network Adapter I bought, is there anyway to check if it's working? It looks good in condition but not sure if it will work for HDD. So, is there any way I can test it?

1 - correct, check out this --->link
2 - correct
3 - correct
4 - correct, except for the DL games, those you will have to rebuild down to SL.
As for the net adapter, see if you can connect to the playstation network.

you won't have to rebuild DL games to SL. they run just fine on hdloader 0.8. i've loaded GT4 onto my hdd with winhiip and hdloader; both loaded right away.

Great now that you tell me, I need a Startup Disc. I downloaded one and burned it to a disc but not working. Pressed disc required?
Saying, Please Insert a PSX or PS2 Format Disc. sob!
Now, Imagine its not working when I have everything else ready? Wouldn't that be funny?

I see, that's a good news. I ordered the ARMAX today. I should be receiving sometimes next week. Monday or Tuesday.
-If everything goes according to plan and works out. I will treat you two but that is if you live in NYC. Otherwise, when you visit here.

lol, guess I'm still stuck in swapmagic mode. ;) Though it would save space on the HD...
@Mazx
Your going to need a pressed disc, at least until you get ARMAX (then you can load your burnt copy).
Glad we are able to help you out. I live on the west coast though, way far from you.
Are either of you guys on XBL?

That's the thing about Console. If it was PC, there would be 100xx way of doing it by now. Well, maybe if you ever visit NYC lol. I don't own a XBOX. I'm a PS fan. Well, now I have to wait till next week. Sucks!

I know what you mean, man. PC modding is so much easier, though PC's don't get as many games as consoles do.

Update: Well, It looks like "It happened" just what I was afraid of...codejunkies delayed and rescheduled the shipment date to May 13th. So, I may receive it on the 13th or 14th. Codejunkies officially sucks. I ordered on the May 2nd now it's the 9th and still not here yet. Worse than eBay.

Here is the link to loading backups with ARMAX. The guide uses the cogswaploader.elf for booting burnt games (you will also need a high TOC original PS2 game).
For use with HDloader just replace cogswaploader.elf with HDloader.elf (or better yet with UlaunchELF.elf (v4.12)). UlaunchELF will allow you to launch other .elf files off the MC, HD and USB drives. ;)

yes, use ulaunchelf as the boot.elf and just add the cogswap and hdloader elfs to the save builder. ulaunchelf is easy to configure, and very versatile.
be forewarned; you will have to reset the ps2 if you want to go back to ulaunchelf. i have yet to find a way to boot back without resetting.

Glad to see both of you back <3.
HG27:I tried using the guide but I couldn't find a ICv3 anywhere. I have the max drive ready. I actually copied a file called BADATA-SYSTEM.max and when I opened it..appears as corrupted data in ARMAX.

basically, there's no way to go back to the ulaunchelf menu without resetting the system.

I see. where do i get ICv3?
-I just realized that my ARMAX EVO didn't come with Media Creator Software PC disk and it doesn't even have the Max Media Player options in it. I have the pen drive and cd-disc.
RIP OFF by codejunkies? Can this be REAL?
I don't need them anywhere right? or i do?

use THIS exploitstation.com guide. the tutorial has the links to the save builder, and provides picture tutorial on how to use. this is the guide i used to exploit my ps2.
the independence compiler can be found in the downloads section HERE
you should have the media player. boot the ARMAX disc on the ps2, and scroll through the icons. max media player should be one of the icons.

I will have a look in a bit. I'm trying to contact codejunkies!
EDIT: Independence Compiler 3 (Lite Version) and ICv2 both links are dead. I was able to get ICv4 though?
-Nope, It's not there. Two blank botton at the bottom.

You can also get the independence compiler here at sksapps. I haven't found a way of reseting uLaunchELF either, without a chip that is. ;)

Thanks!
b.) Install cogswaploader onto your memory card (memory card exploit) using ARMAX - you'll need to use cdrs only to write the files to memory card. After then, you put in a PS1 game of your choice and up comes cogswaploader and any other elfs you want to use. (REDUCED LOADING TIME!) - read below...

Lol, you're right. I did click the title that's why that happened..
I don't have PSX disc :( That's why I got me a ARMAX. Damn, I'm so pissed that they didn't send me the right one. It has no max media player or media creator.
EDIT: It looks like I need a PSX disc to trigger the exploits no matter what? I thought you guys said, I wont need it :(. I copied the exploits into the memory card. Nothing happens now.
EDIT2:Well, After I e-mailed them. This is what they have to say about ARMAX EVO.
Unfortunately, the Max Media Player and Max IM features are no longer available and are not detailed in the description on www.codejunkies.com.
I won't be needing the Max Media Player right?
--Damn..I'm close to quitting and returning everything.

Wasn't trying to say those links were bad or anything. It's just that sksapps has more than one version of the IC, thought it might be handy. ;)
@Maxz
So the ARMAX version they sent you has no way of loading stuff off USB drives. Is this the one you got--->link?
If you can't load stuff off USB, I could mail you a PSX game.

Yep that's the one. But, apparently it doesn't come with Max Media Player or Max Manager anymore. I can access the pendrive from "Max Memory". I copied a file call "system config" onto my memory card but nothing happens.
EDIT: In my memory card I see two files. One NEW_File(icon Mode with PS2 Save Builder). ARMAX Crushed Saves. That's another one. Did I do it correctly? b/c I want to return this ARMAX back to them. I paid $47 wishing that it would be what I needed but now it's not even the case. So please let me know.
