can you answer my question please? what are you doing to load the backup with cheats? then i can tell if you are doing a step wrong. and if you want to know how to do it, read my previous post, it's been confirmed to work so there is nothing worng with this method, i think this problem is to do with you not doing the sequence properly.
ok tell what im doing 1st. im taking out the tool in the fornt putting in the ar max in i find my cheat i need then i take out the disc out and memery card 2nd.i'll put in the swapmagic and memory card and the tool back in 3rd.i'll put in the backup disc in and it would load but the it will frezze so what am i doing wrong so can you tell me in detail how you do it.sorry to keep bother you with this i just want to play my games with the cheats.

Can someone please tell me the steps for using the AR max evo with a modded ps2 (so I don't need to do swapmagic). I can't seem to get to load the game.
i dont know if it just me but i can not get the disc to stop spinning i have a slimline ps2 which i have fitted with magic keys 2 . when i go to swop discs (swap magic) the disc doesnt stop spinning how can i get round this?

Will All This Work with a backed up copy of Action Replay Max....has anyone else tried with a backup copy??
no, it does not work with a backup copy of AR MAX, you have to have a orignal copy of AR MAX for it to work, unless you have a modchip thats the only way it will work. i asked someone to try using ar max to load cheats frm backup and it did not work.
i have tryed everthing with my swap magic 2.0 dvd and action replay max fliptop please help tryin to use codes with nfsu2 ps2
I found a copy on the net that does work....I found it last night... and it has worked on every backup I own...If you want to know where to find it e-mail me at piggypie67@hotmail.com . I am not joking I HAVE FOUND A COPY THAT WORKS WITH SWAP MAGIC...No Crap!!
it works if you have a mod chip, but a backup of ar max dont work with backup games and swap magic. if you are using ar max, can you tell us how you are booting the games with cheats enabled?
Yes it does... you just need to know where to look... Here is what it say's in the NFO File that came with the download... Action Replay MAX EVO Edition - Swap Magic Date .......... : 02/11/05 Platform ..... : PS2 Game Type ..... : Cheat Device Origin ........ : USA-NTSC Release Type .. : DVD or CD Image Format .. : ISO Notes: Well after all the blood,sweat and years it's finally here. Action Replay MAX EVO, built to work with Swap Magic! Up until now no cheat devices were able to use codes through Swap Magic. The previous release of Action Replay MAX would lock up at the menu screen and the freeze. Now thank's to me and 2 other people, I bring you a loadable version of AR! This is guaranteed to boot all your PS2 NTSC DVD back ups WITH codes and work 100% with Swap Magic. Also note that this is not the regular AR MAX, but AR MAX EVO, which has so many fusking amazing things on it. Here's the link from the official site which has explains everything this bad boy can do, just copy and paste it into your browser. h t t p://us.codejunkies.com/shop/product.asp?c=US&cr=USD&cs=$&r=0&l=1&ProdID=294 Directions: The way AR MAX EVO is able to boot your DVD back ups is by combining “CD Loader” with the AR. This is mainly intended for Swap Magic users, people with mod-chips can just download AR MAX EVO and burn it, however if you don’t know where to get it, then just follow this tutorial up to step 3. 1. Burn the ISO to either CD or DVD, either one will work, however I am 100% sure it will work with DVD-R. 2. After you loaded the game you will see a black screen with white writing. Move down and highlight the part that says "RESET IOP." Using your D-pad set it to "ALWAYS" so in the end it will say "RESET IOP:ALWAYS" This MUST be done. Now press "X" and you will see this screen. h t tp://www.swapmagicfix.com/cdloader2.jpg 3. From this screen press "X" again and you will be taken to a screen that contains 8 Menu items, the first one says AR MAX EVO and it will be flashing, press X and now Action Replay MAX EVO will load. It may seem like nothing is happening, but just wait it takes about 20 seconds to boot up. If you have a Network Adaptor it will ask you if want to check for updates. Just select "NO" for now. Now you have your AR MAX EVO fully booted up and you can mess around with it alittle to get the hang of it 4. The background screen will tell you to change the disk, BUT DON'T! Select "Expert Mode" to see all the codes. Choose a game and the codes you want to use or add a game if you like. When your done you will see a screen that says "Make sure your game disk is inside" but whatever you do, DO NOT EJECT THE DISK, this will prevent the codes from working on your back up. Just follow the procedure and start up the game. 5. Now you will be taken back to the screen that first came up when you started the disk. However, there is no need to change the IOP here, unless it's for a certain fix from SwapMagicFix.com, just press "X" again. Now your back to this screen again. h t tp://www.swapmagicfix.com/cdloader2.jpg There are different steps you have to take depending on whether your game is CD or DVD so look below. CD: EJECT the disk from your PS2 and insert the official Swap Magic CD or an official retail CD game. Wait for the screen to change back to this one. h t tp://www.swapmagicfix.com/cdloader2.jpg Now just SWAP the game with your CD back up using either the slide card or Flip Top Lid, press X to load and your DONE! The codes should now work. DVD:EJECT the disk from your PS2 and insert the official Swap Magic DVD. Wait for the screen to change back to this one. h t tp://www.swapmagicfix.com/cdloader2.jpg Now press "X" and you should see THIS screen h t tp://www.swapmagicfix.com/cdloader3.jpg Now just SWAP the SM disk with your DVD back up using either the Slide Card or Flip Top Lid and press "X" to load it and your DONE! Your back up DVD should now work with the codes you selected in Action Replay.
Again If Anyone wants to know where to find the image of the disc used in the above post (AR MAX EVO) e-mail me at piggypie67@hotmail.com and it does work with backups and swap magic (I DON'T HAVE A CHIP) and there is no point in refuting it...if you don't believe me jalaneme go get it yourself...otherwise you should just stop replying to these post and being so pesimistic.. The Disc Works for me and will for anyone else that uses Swap Magic.
