Tutorial - converting ARMax codes to be used on Swap Magic CODER

edited by ddp due to stupidity

 

what if the Master Code is More than 2 lines? we only use the last line?

 

but when i try to boot up the game with cheat enabled. it won't boot. without cheats. it boots normally. i have 100% working back up discs

 

anybody here?

 

yes i had same problem with it not booting... its because the cheat codes your using DONT WORK. use the above tutorial and see if that works?

im just about to go try the tutorial for THE GODFATHER ill let you know.

RiPPER D

 

the cheats didnt work... not sure if this tutorial works or not... anyone else got it to work? or got screenshots of how to do it?


also what keycode do you need to use?

 

yeah, he didn't mention about the keycode but i found the original of the person who made that software and he said ARMAX sucks. he told to use Gameshark and convert it. SO now, i don't even want to waste time on the cheats thing. i only cheats on PC but now PS2. come on let's play it fair.

 

yes this method works
I would check what version disc you have and then go from there.
most of the 3.6 versions work fine for your conversion to regular ar max. the new 3.8 version somehow is using the older version 1 in your drop down menu just under the version 2.
currently i am working on multiple m code lines
will report back when i have more info

 

it doesn't work on me, I tried to enable the max yellow orbs cheat in devil may cry 3 but it didn't work, have u guys got it to work?

 

UPDATE!!! THIS METHOD DOES NOT!!! WORK!!!

THE BEST AND EASIEST WAY IS AS FOLLOWS!!

THIS IS ONLY WORKING WAY FOR SWAP MAGIC + CODER 3.8 (Or 3.6)


Get MaxConvert 0.71 From http://www.codemasters-project.net/portal-english/apportal/request.php?6


Open It Up.

Now If Your codes are from codejunkies.com (ARMAX) then select the input as ARMAX.

Copy And Paste The Cheat Codes Into The Input. !!! DO NOT COPY The BLUE FOLDER CODES THESE ARE NOT SUPPORTED !!!

Now Delete The KEYCODE From The Middle Of MaxConvert.

Select Your Region.

Now Select OUTPUT as AR2v1/GS2v1.

Then Click Convert!

All Done. This Method has WORKED 100% With (The Godfather, Lego Star Wars 2, GTA-LCS and more).

Do Not Try Any Other Way they DONT WORK!


Now... What DO You Do if you want cheats that you cant find on CodeJunkies.com (ARMAX)....?

Try http://www.xploder.net

These Are Basicly The Same As GAMESHARK Codes.
So this method is for GS users too!!!


Goto Xploder.net Or Gameshark.com

Select The Game You Want Cheat Codes For.

XPLODER USERS!! >>>>>> Select VERSION 4 CHEATS <<<<<<

GAMESHARK USERS!! >>>>>> Select Version GS2v4 <<<<<<
(MAY HAVE TO FIND GAME IN V5 THEN CLICK V4)


Now That You Have Your Codes Open MAXCONVERT 0.71 ^Link Above^

BOTH XPLODER AND GAMESHARK USE AS FOLLOWS!

Select INPUT As GS2v3-4.

Copy Your Codes Into INPUT.

Delete The KEYCODE In The Middle!!

Select OUTPUT As AR2v1/GS2v1

SELECT REGION.

CLICK CONVERT.

And Your Done Enter The Codes Into SWAP MAGIC + CODER 3.8 (or 3.6).

help

 

I Tried using the 2nd method of converting codes here, but they did not work for God Of War USA, Has anyone else tried this method and got their codes to work ? If so could you post them for me to try.

Thanks in advance.

 

RipperD, thanks for your tutorial, i used the Xploder codes and they worked

 

dont worry about the 16bit error its crap and codes still work anyway.

if u have M codes that are more than 2 lines long try to find codes else where (example : xploder users use gameshark aswell)

doesnt matter tho codes will still work as SM3+C isnt that great technology.

 

uh it doesnt work for me. Trying to make contra shattered soldier ps2 game codes work.

(M)
0E3C7DF2 1853E59E
EE410DF2 BC068C82
Infinite Lives
DE0DD63E BCA99BE6

When I convert it, it just appears the same in the output column. Can you try it for me?
