Swap Magic 3.6 with Action Replay Max for PS2

whats swap magic???

 

Loyalty07,

Try removing your USB flash card right after AR Max codes have loaded ie. as soon as it says it says "Launching Game".

I have the Swap Magic Coder 3.8 and it doesn't work but Swap Magic 3.6 should work...If this can be confirmed then I shall try and exchange my 3.8 for a 3.6.

 

O.k I've read the entire thread and know one mentioned that when u insert AR max and go into expert mode the disc of AR spins and cannot stop is there anyway round it coz I'm Using Swap Magic 3.6 + magic Keys 2 so plz plz plz help

 

The best solution about this crap is just buy Swap Magic Coder 3.8, find the Action Replay v1 codes for your game or convert them, and enjoy. No more headaches with this shit.

 

If you have Swap Magic 3.6 original disc then all you need to do is put in ARMax, let it boot up, select your cheats, press eject and put in Swap Magic. Let that boot up and then swap it for your backup game.

 

I know for me the version of Action Max replay I use is called Armax-evo swap magic edition.
It is has been compiled to work just with swap magic.I don't have a usb stick.
I have swap magic coder 3.8 and I just press the triangle to get the disc to stop spinning. Change discs, press triangle again, then X.

If anyone wants this version get it here

There is a read me included telling how to use it and play backups.

 

smokyrain,

Can you get your ARMax Evo cheats to work when using it together with SwapMagic Coder 3.8? I had Coder 3.8 but couldn't get it to work with my ARMax (not Evo) cheats. I heard that earlier versions of SwapMagic have more compatibility..?

Thanks for the link by the way.

 

I have yet to try that... I have so far just used my swap magic 3.8 to boot the AR MAX disc.... then played a ps2 disk but not a backup disk yet.

I will give it a try tomorrow and see how it goes. I just wanted this disk as it has the memory manager, media player etc.

I had read in another post this version is slow to load, and yes it is but it works.

Anyhow your welcome and will get back to ya tomorrow.

 

Since you have SwapMagic Coder 3.8, you can use it to run different .elf files, which will also give you those programs you want ie. Memory Manager, Media Player etc...

 

Thanks alot for that il try it and get back to Smokyrain

safe hope it works i knw what u mean by the disc justs spins and spins so i need somfin to stop it hope fully this works

 

PM me for an answer how to use heats with a bakupped Action Replay.

 

lackyno I finally found some time to check out this AR Max Evo with Swap magic 3.8 coder and yes the cheats worked fine for me.
The only thing is one needs to update the code file as its outdated.

And yeah I realized that I could just copy elf files to my usb and load them for the media player etc. Basically I was just seeing what different codes max has as to the 3.8 coder.

I also now have gotten onto game saves and just loading them through ulaunch.elf and transferring them to my memory card. That way I get the unlocks I want also.
Most games I try to complete myself without cheats, but sometimes nice to have them especialy for unlocking characters, etc.

 

smokyrain,

You got SwapMagic Coder 3.8 to work? Good for you. It must be because you have the ARMax Evo version. When I tried my plain old ARMax with Coder 3.8, I just kept getting a black screen...So I sold my Coder 3.8 and was contemplating of getting version 3.6 instead when I had a brainstorm, so to speak, and figured out a way to get cheats to work by using CDLoader!

Oh definitely.

 

Yeah its ok I got it too work. I also updated the US code list and reupped it to rapidshare folder.

I may not use it much buts its there if anyone else wants it. Link is on previous page.

Did you try the memory card trick?

 

DVDR- is usually more preferred because for DVDR+, you need to change the booktype to DVDRom.

 

Can anyone explain that memory card trick more simply ... cause i didn't get how would that help me boot up a game?
