I've been trying to convert some Action Replay MAX codes so that they work on the Swap Magic 3.8 Coder boot disc. Now, I've read numerous threads/post on this and I've followed the instructions given, but to no avail.
I've used both MAXConvert and MAXcrypt programs to change the ARMAX codes into hex but I don't get anything when I use the new codes through SM3.8C - the game either runs normally as if no codes are present or I get a black screen after I boot the game.
The codes enable you to use the normally non-existent boss character in Soul Calibur III (Ps2), Night Terror, by holding down the SELECT, L2 and R2 buttons at the select screen in certain game modes. (The codes work. The evidence is on YouTube.)
Here are the codes: (I found 2 sets of code for the same cheat and I've been trying both)
U382-CF0H-JNQF6 {Master}
CFRY-66QX-QD0Q4
Although the instructions I found explicitly stated to convert the MAX codes to 'AR2v1/GS2v1', I also tried other options such as 'AR2v2/GS2v2' and 'MAX Raw', among others, just in case they worked. They didn't, suffice to say. : /
Subsequently I tried using MAXcrypt, but the codes generated were identical so I didn't bother inputting them.
Also what maybe pertinent is that I'm converting the codes to PAL (from NTSC I presume). Though it is worth noting that no discernible difference seems to exists with the generated hex code for the respective regions. Also, the Soul Calibur III disc I'm using is a back-up.
Can anybody help me with this? I'm loathed to buy a Action Replay MAX just so as to use this one character. It would be great if the codes work through the Swap Magic disc. Are there any tutorials that outline what I might be doing wrong?
Alternatively, are there any other codes for this particular cheat (ie. nonARMAX ones)?
Or maybe some good Samaritan could be ever so kind and convert the codes, test 'em and post them for my inept self...? *blushes*
I have the exact same problem. i've been trying to use a code for Kingdom Hearts 2and i've used MAXConvert to convert it from ARMax, GS, CB, to Action Replay so that i can use it in Coder 3.8 the think is: the game play as if there's no code. my game is a back up too
I've sorta lost hope in ever getting the codes to work on the Swap Magic. I'm certain the version of Action Replay or whatever coding system it uses doesn't support later codes.
(For me, Soul Calibur IV's mashiness killed the desire to explore it's prequel further anyway >_>)
I dunno. the swap magicdvd has a lot of codes for a lot of games. I tried to use the codes for one of the games already in swap magic and it ddn't work and it was not a backup game, so maybe you're right. I just wish there was a way to use cheats on backup games. I nave a backup ARMax CD and I can use cheats on original games, but not on backups
(by the way, I own Soul Calibur 3 original dvd. Night Terror rules!!!!!)
