I know it took me a while to find this action replay again so I could play my backup ps2 games with codes and I know a lot of people are still having trouble with that and it is a pain I know... So I'll post the info needed to make it work.

*NOTE* YOU WILL NEED THE SPECIAL SWAP MAGIC ACTION REPLAY TO MAKE THIS WORK. IF YOU CAN'T FIND IT ON YOUR OWN JUST SEND ME A PM AND I'LL LINK YOU TO IT

You will need: ACTION REPLAY MAX EVO SWAP MAGIC EDITION

Swap Magic DVD and CD Discs - I tested with Version 3.6
Software to burn DVD ISO's
A BACKUP of an original PS2 or PSone Title.

It is very possible to use this back up version of AR Max EVO with
Swap Magic 3.6.

Although i have only tested with SWAP MAGIC 3.6 it should be possible
with most versions.

In this rar file you will find an ISO that needs to be burned to
a DVD. Yes, a DVD is the best way to get this working, as a CD version
is only easily used with PS2 CD-Based Games. If you want to run DVD
PS2 games with codes easily this is the BEST way to do it.

Once burned to a DVD this baby is ready to go. Follow these steps for
DVD backups and see steps below for CD-Based PS2 games.

DVD BACKUPS:

1) Boot your PS2 with SWAP MAGIC DVD Disc

2) Using EJECT EXPLOIT insert AR MAX EVO DVD and hit X

3) Make sure you scroll down on the Black and White screen to the
option entitled RESET IOP. Change this to always. Hit X to run
DVDLOADER

4) At the DVDLOADER screen hit X and you will have a menu. Select
AR MAX and hit X to load AR MAX EVO

5) Enter Expert Mode to find your desired codes and hit START

6) At this point AR MAX EVO Will prompt you to eject and insert game
Disc - DO NOT EJECT, just hit start game with codes then X and wait for
the Black and White screen to load. Dont worry about the IOP option just
hit X and let DVDLOADER load up.

6) To Stop your disc from spinning in the disc tray you will need to hit
the Triangle button.

7) The Screen will lose a few words and and this is when you will need to
use whatever EJECT EXPLOIT you use to insert the SWAP MAGIC DVD Disc

8) Now hit Triangle once again and the disc will start to spin and the
screen will reload. Now hit the X Button.

9) a red screen should come up prompting you to swap dvd with EA method,
Don't worry as all you need to do is use your EJECT EXPLOIT and insert the
DVD game backup you want to run with codes. HIT X

VOILA!!

You are now running your DVD BACKUP game with codes from a BACKUP AR MAX.

CD BACKUPS:

1) Boot your PS2 with SWAP MAGIC DVD Disc

2) Using EJECT EXPLOIT insert AR MAX EVO DVD and hit X

3) Make sure you scroll down on the Black and White screen to the
option entitled RESET IOP. Change this to always. Hit X to run
DVDLOADER

4) At the DVDLOADER screen hit X and you will have a menu. Select
AR MAX and hit X to load AR MAX EVO

5) Enter Expert Mode to find your desired codes and hit START

6) At this point AR MAX EVO Will prompt you to eject and insert game
Disc - DO NOT EJECT, just hit start game with codes then X and wait for
the Black and White screen to load. Dont worry about the IOP option just
hit X and let DVDLOADER load up.

6) To Stop your disc from spinning in the disc tray you will need to hit
the Triangle button.

7) The Screen will lose a few words and and this is when you will need to
use whatever EJECT EXPLOIT you use to insert the SWAP MAGIC CD ROM Disc

8) Now hit Triangle once again and the disc will start to spin and the
screen will reload. You should see at the bottom left corner PS2 CD as
the current media.

9) Now Use your EJECT EXPLOIT SWAP METHOD and insert your PS2 CD BACKUP
game.

VOILA!!

You are now running a BACKUP PS2 CD game with a BACKUP COPY of AR MAX.
