Recommended PS2 Tools
By Reaper-X on Jul 16, 2006 in Freeware, PlayStation 2, Software, Video Games
Here’s a list of the most usefull PS2 tools ever released on the net (for free of course) ;) beside i’ve already tested it all and all this tools works great
Code (Gameshark, Codebreaker, ARMax) Converting / Decrypting :
- Codebreaker 7+ Decryptor and Converter : CB Crypt 1.2
- ARMax / Gameshark / CB 1–6 / RAW Code Converter : Max Convert
- ARMax Codelist Manager (used to create ARMax Codelist) : ARMax Code Manager
PS2 Ripping Tools (although i’ve already put this on my previous post but i forgot to add the link to the official website, so i put it again together in here) ;) :
Note: The official site is in Japanese, but if you don’t want to download each one of these files you can download it from my uploaded files (included in my previous post about ripping PS2 Movie)
- PSS Demux (used to Demux Audio and Video from PS2 Stream : PSS Demux
- PSS Player (used to play directly the PS2 Stream without demuxing it first, if you dont like to convert it into another video container first) : PSS Player
- MFAudio (can be used to demux and convert the PS2 Audio Stream into standard WAV format) : MFAudio
Note: If you need to download cheating devices like ARMax, Codebreaker, Gameshark, etc. You can contact me directly for more information about this ;)
Save Game Converter :
- PS2 Savegame Converter into Various Format : PS2 Save Builder
FTP Server Program (for use in PS2 Machine) :
- ExecFTP Standalone version (use this tool to transfer data between your ps2 and your computer)
- ExecFTP ISO Image version (same as above except this version is an ISO Image)
Note: for those who cant copy the ELF executable into your ps2 memory card in order to run it from ExecFTP Standalone version, choose the ExecFTP ISO Image version as temporary solution and burn it into blank CD-R using your favorite burning program in order to run the ExecFTP program … but you’ll need swap magic trick if you’re not using Modchip on your playstation 2 console. (im going to create some tutorial on this topic in the future, so dont forget to bookmark this site) :P
PS2 Bootable CD / DVD Creating tools :
- Dummy File Creator : Use this tools to create a dummy files on your burned ps2 cd / dvd
- CDGen 3 : this is the tools used to create a bootable CD / DVD Structure for your burned ps2 disc
PS2 Media Player to play Divx / XVid video on your PS2 (run this on your ps2 machine) :
- PS2 Reality Media Player : although there’s similar apps like this one but i choose this program to play media files such as MP3, Divx / Xvid Video on my pstwo
Apps Launcher for your PS2 Machine :
- LaunchElf : this launcher simply is the best launcher for me ;)
Playing PS2 from your HDD (since im using slim pstwo i cant use HDLoader program), so the only way for me to play through HDD is by using USB HDD Advance by connecting my harddisk drive into usb connector (not all games can be played like on HDLoader) .. if you need it try searching the internet because im not going to put any links to it (illegal) ;)
And don’t forget to check my newest post for an All in one ps2 tools

will any of these help you play burned PS2 disks on your PS2?
no the above software got nothing to do with Burned PS2 Disc
I have a 2gb SanDisk cruzer flash pen.
Will any of these files help me use saved game files downloaded from the internet with my ps2?
OR, do you have any software like Code Breaker or Max Drive that I can burn and use with my Ps2?
yes, especially the ps2 save converter program :)
Alright, I downloaded the game saves and the Ps2 save converter... But what program do I download and burn to use in my Ps2, so that my Ps2 recongizes my flash drive?
Thanks.
you must have cheat devices in order to transfer the downloaded savegame into your ps2 ... email me for more info ;)
Hi, so I have AR Max and I'm trying to convert a Code Breaker save into an AR Max save. Is this possible with the save converter tool? I tried using "Save As" to rename the file to .max, but it doesn't show up on my memory card when I transfer the file from my flash drive to the card. Any ideas?
Yes, its possible to convert ARMax into CBS, you can convert it by
using save as command. First open the CBS file using PS2 Save Builder
and choose to save as ARMax v3 (.max) ... i just tried it by
converting Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi from CBS format into ARMax
format without problem ;) btw i've use this tools for a long time
without problem =)
Is there any programs here that can format a PS2 Memory Card without modding your PS2? Using the ARMax Media Gate for instance?
Most the ps2 program that require you to burn an image / iso require modchip / swap magic trick (i havent tried the swap magic trick since im using modchip) ... except for the computer programs ;-) ... oo yeah if you own a cheat devices like Armax and other programs, you can use it to format your ps2 memcard ;)
i m trying to do the same thing that Insomnia Artist was trying to do and it stops at "email me"
any help please
Could you give more detailed description ? and what cheat devices you're using ? is it Codebreaker or Action Replay Max ?
i appologive. i have a saved game on my pc which i am trying to transfer to the ps2 through a usb drive. is there a way to do it? the ps2 is modded if that has anything to do with it.
Bes if you already using a modded ps2 then it's going to be easy ;) (although it'll work if you're using non modded ps2 too)
btw did you have a cheat devices like Action Replay Max or Codebreaker ? because those cheat devices required to transfer your savegame into your ps2 mc using flashdisk. If you need more information about this post your reply here and when entering your email address ensure it's a valid email address :D
i m all ears (eyes)
besmir_666@hotmail.com
You should take a look at your inbox maybe there's something new :)
ok you are giving me too much credit here boss. do i burn the image and put it on the ps2 while putting my usb drive?
so yes, i guess i do need a step by step guide. i tried the above mentioned tecnique, burning the image with alcohol 120 and it went to the "play station" screen and it just went black
If you could give me a detailed steps on how your burn that image maybe i can help you, btw what modchip you're using on your ps2 ?
basically, i browsed the image with alcohol 120 and i burned it. just so that i know, is that the way to do it? thanks for everything you have done so far, even my buddy is saying that its not worth the trouble. we wouldnt be able to find what chip it is. it was just sent to those places and they modded it
sorry for late reply :)
anyway if you got your ps2 modded by someone else, the only problem i can think of its your ps2 modchip isnt compatible with Codebreaker (only a few modchip supported by Codebreaker except for the old version of CB). So you should get another Cheat Devices for your ps2
Hello Reapex-X
Can you give me tutorial how to convert PAL code to NTSC code? viceversa
like Xploder pal to Codebreaker NTSC vice versa
or ARmax PAL to Codebreaker vice versa
thx
If you want to port NTSC to PAL and viceversa, you'll need both ELF of the game you wish to port ... and you can compare its address using PS2Dis (ps2disasembly), but since only a few people using it, i dont put it as the recommended ps2 tools
btw you can get ps2dis from http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Station/8269/ps2dis/
hi i just bought a ps3 and i want to download ps1 gamesaves and put it on my ps3 so you know how i can do that? thanks
Unfortunately i dont know anything about PS3 :(
Hi! I know it's a lot to ask, but would you be so kind to post or send me a tutorial about how to actually use a .cbs save file? It looks like you're the One to ask because I haven't find anything really clear on this matter... I really thank you in advance for your help!
Just to be more specific I have a PAL PS2 modified to play NTSC games, and I just want to use .cbs files from PC -> USB flashdisk -> PS2 Memory Card. Thanks for your patience!
Hello Maurizio thank you for visiting my page :)
btw if you want to use CBS (Code Breaker Save), of course you'll need a Code Breaker Cheat Device first .. as for the process itself, it is very easy and self explained in the Code Breaker Menu itself :)
Ok Aditya thanks for your fast answer! I'm going to search for a webstie selling this device then.
Best Regards!
Your welcome Maurizio
btw if you want to buy Codebreaker, you can go to its official website at CMGSCCC :)
I do intend to buy it for myself, but being quite in a rush (I want to offer a game + a memory card containing a perfect save file to a friend), I found CodeBreaker v9.2 in two files (.iso + .elf). I know the .iso has to be burned but could you just tell me what I have to do with the .elf? Thanks again + in advance ;)
I dont think the elf file could be useful because the only thing you'll need is only the iso itself :)
btw what kind of elf files you got there ? is it SLUS_XXXX or something else ?
No, only CodeBreaker_v9.2.iso and CB9.2.elf
you can simply ignore the elf file :) .. and as a side note, original codebreaker can only run on NTSC console with / without modchip .. and if you're using modded PAL console, sometime it works sometime it dont ;) .. but thats depend on your modchip :D
It doesn't seem to work ("read disc error")... On gamefaqs they say that in order to use the save files you have to get a SharkPort or X-Port. Isn't it easier?
Found out that the SharkPort doesn't work with all PS2, so I thought about an ARMax, what do you think? Is the compatibility (Pal/Ntsc) alright?
Sorry for late reply because yesterday already late in my country :D
btw since i never use Sharkport i cant give description about it, although you can convert it into ARmax save file or CBS savefile :)
and as for ARMax .. it works best on PAL / NTSC Console, because ARMax released on 2 version (PAL version and NTSC version) so you can use it without problem (my ps2 console is PAL and im using the NTSC version with 2 codelist)
Sorry my own late answer! It looks like a lot more save files are available for the CodeBreaker than for the ARMax. Do you know if the CodeBreaker works with all PS2 (region and models)?
well you can always convert the savegame itself ( armax < => cbs ) using the savegame converter ;) .. btw most people choose CB because it gives you more codes for your games :) other than that CB also support RAW code like GS2v3 / 4
about cb compatibility :
CB can only work on NTSC console (US), because the real cb is only available in NTSC format just like Gameshark, and the only cheat devices that is officially support PAL console is Exploder and ARMax ... but if you're using modchip then there's no problem for you to use Gameshark, ARmax or exploder on your console
while codebreaker can only works on pal console if you're using high class modchip such as DMS, Matrix Infinity, etc .. and the other modchip will fail to run codebreaker on pal console
as a note, im using PSTwo (PS2 Slim) 70002 PAL .. and can run CB 9.x series without problem using Generic (low class modchip) ;)
Many thanks for all these info! Unfortunately I don't know which modchip I have, so I'll have to test different devices until I find a working one. I'll get back to you, thanks again!
do u have a link where i can download codebreaker for my ps2 ? if u can, many great thanks to you!!!
Do you have contact information :)
contact information ???
yep .. such as email address :)
saifuddin@post.com / alphasaifuddin@hotmail.com
Thx for the file, do i just extract them then burn them inside a dvd-rw or is there any specification ?
HOW DO I EXTRACT THE BIOS FILE ?
sorry for asking so much question so this will be my last question, do i burn under data dvd or bootable dvd ?
# saifuddin
- Go to http://www.7zip.org .. to extract it, btw its a free archiver program :)
- Dont worry about it ;) .. but which files do you mean by that ? ... if its an ISO files, you should just pick up the Burn Image option not data dvd or bootable dvd :)
but it is a rar file and when i extract, it not even in 7zip file.
can u please tell me the step to burn all the files by using nero startsmart ?
When i burned the iMAGE FILE I WAS TOLD THAT I need to use a cd-r/rw but not a dvd why ?
Sorry for late reply, because there was a big thunder yesterday so i had to turn off my computer :)
Btw here's the answer
# Saifuddin
[ Q ] but it is a rar file and when i extract, it not even in 7zip file.
[ A ] 7zip can extract rar files too :)
[ Q ] can u please tell me the step to burn all the files by using nero startsmart ?
[ A ] i never use nero start smart .. but if you want to burn it, just run nero burning rom and from the recorder menu choose to BURN IMAGE .. and point to the image file .. that's it ;) .. if its ask to use a Blank CD-R then you should use a blank cd-r instead of blank dvd-r :)
but there's no image file ?
then wat program am i supposed to use ?
reaper its ok i have done many great thank to u but i have a question if the game list does not have a game i want to cheat, do i add the game and put the cheat ?
Your welcome saifuddin glad you can burn it without problem :)
[ Q ] i have a question if the game list does not have a game i want to cheat, do i add the game and put the cheat ?
[ A ] Yes, you can simply add new codes into it as many times as you want :)
reaper i tried already but some of my games can't do u have the most updated version ?
what games you're trying to play ? btw .. nowadays cheat devices can be updated easily using internet connection beside you can do the old way by inserting it manually and i never have problem unless the cheat codes itself is not working :D
ooh yeah if you're talking about Codebreaker .. what code format you're using ? because codebreaker can only accept RAW format or Codebreaker encrypted format :)
tales of the abyss btw but i don't understand a thing u're saying ???
hm .. then the easiest way is .. go to CMGSCCC .. you can find various cheat codes for codebreaker device there :)
i got a question can i upgrade it using PCSX2 ?
do u any website i can download ps2 games and burn it into a dvd ?
[ Q ] i got a question can i upgrade it using PCSX2 ?
[ A ] as far as i know, you cant upgrade using pcsx2, but why not insert the codes by yourself ? its easy to write new codes using keyboard instead of joystick :D .. btw i never use codebreaker on pcsx2 although it does run
[ Q ] do u any website i can download ps2 games and burn it into a dvd ?
[ A ] No .. actually i never download anything (and that means any files) above 100MB, because my monthly bandwidth / quota for internet access is only 2GB / month. :(
so u noe any link about a codebreaker ver.7 and above ? for me to download i really need it because
eh ? i already sent you info about it since yesterday or two days ago .. maybe it goes to the junk folder (btw i just sent you another) ;)
thx
wait a second, u gave me version 9.2 ? then why can't my games start ? they needed the codebreaker version 7.0 above .
are you trying to play it on real ps2 console or emulator ? btw could you give me a detailed description ? for example blank screen when running cb or something else :)
ok i'll tell u, i burn the image into my cd-rw and it can be played but when i load the cheats and want to load the game, there is an error saying "unable to load game plaese retry " and i notice that only one game i succesfully cheated and its a PAL system and thats only game with a pal system. And the other 17 is NTSC system.
is there a program that can convert a NTSC PS2 Game to a PAL PS2 Game ?
eh ? you can only run pal game ? what is your ps2 modchip ? and what is your console type (NTSC/PAL) ?
btw i think there's no way to convert your ntsc game into pal game (although i think i've seen some code that can convert it *dunno how that works thought* without actually test it because i dont think i really need that) lol .. try asking at CMP team .. (they're the best when it comes to this stuff ;)
Hi,
Do you have a link where i can download the software for the ARMax (preferred) or codebreaker to use on the ps2 (unmodded)
I want to use it for copying replays to/from the ps2 to my usb memory stick.
Thanks in advance
Oh yea, in case it makes a difference, it's for a PAL ps2
Is it possible to convert and transfer any cbs ar or maxx files to be able to work with the PS3?
um .. i dont know if its going to work with ps3 or not because i dont know anything about ps3, but maybe you can try it using the same method like on ps2 (if there's a cheat devices available for ps3 console) :)
Thanks for the quick reply Reaper-x. I don't think there is a cheat device out yet for ps3. I can transfer saves from ps3 to a usb but the file is in a different format from the cbs etc... I was hoping to find someway to convert them to an actual ps2 format that the ps3 might recognize.
Hm .. if that's the case .. i dont think you can transfer savegame from your ps2 yet as for now ..
btw is it possible to connect ps2 memory card into ps3 memory card slot ? maybe its possible to do it if you can insert your ps2 mc into ps3 mc slot (if there's any)
my ps2 console can play both NTSC and PAL Games and when i use codebreaker , only my PAL Games booted up but the rest doesn't and about the modchip i don't know because when i bought it, it was already modified. So sorry, i don't know the type of modchip.
if i'm not wrong its matrix infinity.
hm .. thats strange, because matrix infinity is one of the most compatible modchip to play codebreaker in PAL console (by default CB can only be used on NTSC console) .. btw i think there's a chance you are using a fake matrix infinity modchip (try searching for Modbo modchip)
btw if its for me (im using PAL console) i can use it without problem with various game
i'm a kid so i don't know how to dismantle and add a modchip.
Hahaha .. dont worry about it ;) eventually you'll learn how to do it later :D but as for now you might try using other cheat devices because Codebreaker by default only accept NTSC console without problem (if you want to see your ps2 console type, you can look at the back of your console and search for SCPH-XXXXX value) so you'll know what is your ps2 console type :)
ok thx we'll keep in touch so bb for now......l
your welcome saifuddin :)
Anyway, how did you make this blog, from which website, i want to make a website dedicated a favourite game of mine....
Ah .. actually im hosting this blog by myself not using free service (so i have to pay for my hosting plan monthly) :) .. because by using self hosted plan, i can configure it freely :)
btw are you interested on creating your own blog too ?
yeah...
well you can of course use the free service from Wordpress (you can try searching for wordpress in here) or you can use Blogger if you want to monetize your blog, and later maybe you can get your own hosted blog like me too ;)
btw can you give me an idea on what you're going to use your blog for ? (other than game)
i don't know....
Dont know about what ?
well you can go to wordpress.com and register with them (its free), and you can start right away :D
Hi,
I have been looking all over the web, likely in the wrong spot, to see if it is possible to save game on a generic memory stick as opposed to those 8 Meg super expensive sony memory cards (which kids tend to loose). Is there a software that can be installed on a slim PS2 brand new playstation that will allow Generic stick usage? It is not clear to me that the ARMax products can help.
Thanks,
Simon
Sorry for late reply Simon, but i think you've already heard about the recent connection problem in Asia region :-(
anyway to answer your question :
Well about generic stick usage, do you mean a Memory Card such as Memory Stick duo, etc ? well i dont think that is possible to use such thing on ps2
but if its a USB Flash disk, you can be sure that you can transfer your savegame into your thumb drive without problem (except for some USB Flash disk model)
as a side note, i've tried transferring my ps2 savegame into my computer using Armax with below USB Flash disk without problem :
1. Apacer 256 MB HF Series
2. A-data MyFlash 512MB
3. A-Data MyFlash 128MB
and another note, the above thumb drive can also be used with codebreaker (9.x series) without problem as well :-)
I downloaded CodeBreaker v9.2 from a torrent. After un packing the .7z it gave me two files: CodeBreaker v9.2 DVD & CodeBreaker v9.2 CD. I burned both .iso files using Nero. When I insert either disk in my PS2 I get a message that says "Insert a disk that is Playstation or PS2 Compatable." My Ps2 is not modded BTW. Any ideas. Bum file?
Unfortunately that's not possible to play any home made (burned) dvd / cd on your playstation 2 console if you're not using Modchip / modded ps2 .. or SwapMagic :-(
Hi I need some help getting a Codebreaker 9+ iso. My torrents aren't downloading...
I'm using a NTSC PS2 with modchip, but I have no idea whether it is a US or JP, or what modchip it is.
Help is much appreciated!
Well most probably you're using NTSC console if you bought it few years ago ;-)
ooh yeah check your mail :-)
Is there any program that has the ability to boot up a playstation 2 burnt disc onto a playstation 2, without modding it or using one of those swipe tools? I have a Slim ps2.
You can always try using swapmagic :-) .. unfortunately its going to cost you :-(
Hi Reaper-X
I'm looking for "more information" :) about the ARMax so I can copy game saves from my USB to a Memory Card.
My mail: torben_drengen@hotmail.com
Is there any [unofficial] fix for Codebreaker's function to copy data from the Memory Card to the USB using a modded slim PSTwo? I'm having difficulties doing it. Thanks.
Ok, apparently my model is a modded SCPH-75004.
Hey, sorry for flooding. =] But as i browsed different sites, i learned that i cannot use the MC to USB function from the Codebreaker 9.2 with my current System version [which is SCPH-75004].
Now, i wanted to try the alternative, which is the ExecFTP. I already downloaded your ISO version, burned it, and it works [my PS2 can boot it], now i only need to buy a LAN cable.
Now, my question is... what's next? Should i still use the MC exploit in order to transfer data to my PC/vice versa? Please guide me on how to do it... thanks a bunch. ^^,
hi i have the ps2 fat silver and i was wondering if there is away to play movies or music off of my mp3 player/usb stick or an external usb HDD. anyone?
# Aku
Dont worry about it Aku and sorry for late reply :-)
Btw .. as far as i know of the recent pstwo (ps2 slim console) has some problem regarding the usb function on codebreaker, although on the old slim version it works fine without problem (im using 70002 with CB9.2 and works great)
as for copying your savegame via lan card, well you can use various FTP Program to do it but its going to be hard because you cant see the game name :-( (its going to be SLUS/SLES XXXXX)
the easiest way to backup your savegame is by using ARMax (dunno if there's any problem with the usb function on recent pstwo version), because it works great on my console
# Cragman69
I dont think its possible as for now (maybe), because the only way i can found so far to play your media files is using a flash disk (thumb drive) or burn a cd with your media files in it (divx, xvid, mp3)
as a note, i've tried to play media files on my pstwo (slim 70002) using external HDD but the media player software cant detect my external HDD :-(
How can i download a nother codebreaker or Gameshark?
Hey thanks for the reply Reaper-X. I was successful on using ExecFTP standalone and copied my MC data to my PC without doing an exploit [i used UltraFXP in my PC to connect to my PS2]. And yeah, you're right that my problem is how to identify the games because they're appearing from their product code [as folder names].
What i did was use the PS2 Save Builder and view the icons [view.ico] to identify which game was which. Though it's not too convenient, i guess that would be my only way to identify and manage my MC data backups. I hope this helps.
Thanks a bunch for the tools here! ^^,
BTW, do you still have a copy of PS2 Reality Media Player? Seems like Exploitstation already removed their link of that file. Can you send me a copy thru my e-mail? And, how does it actually work? Thanks again.
yo reaper how can i get the newest version of codebreaker from you to download and burn.
# Aku
Yes i still have the PS2 Reality (maybe they removed it because its not allowed for them to put it there), and i'll send it to you later to your email
Well .. actually you can use it to play DIVX, XVID files on your ps2 from your burned movie collection (i always use it when i go to another city) .. unfortunately its still doesnt support USB Flashdisk
as for another media player, you can also use ARMax media player to play your movie files too (although i prefer ps2 reality because of its easy to use interface and its features)
Okay got it, thanks. ^^
Anyway, i got another question if you don't mind. Do you have console emulators for the PS2? I mean for example: emulating SNES/GB/SegaGenesis/etc in your PS2? If you do, how do i make one in a CD? Do i need to do it with MC exploit? I was planning on making one before i leave the country. Thanks.
Of course, although i dont use it (i prefer to use console emulator on pc) :P
btw currently i have snes emu, and sega emu only :(
If you want to run it directly via cd, you can burn it combined with an ELF Launcher along with the other ps2 tools to make sure there's no unwasted space in your burned cd(im using various tools in one cd) lol
btw dont forget to create dummy files too (at least 100MB) ;)
First I found your site really helpful, I appreciate the time you invest. Three quick questions:
1) To run a burned cd into my ps2 do i really need a mod chip?
2) Can you give a step by step guide on how to run Code Breaker then load my cheats onto my mc?
3) how do i get my USB to work if i don't have the right format?
First of all I really appreciate what you are doing, and the time you are investing on this web page. My question is: DO I REALLY NEED A MOD CHIP TO RUN BURNED CD's ON MY PS2?? I'm using the slim version as well. Thanks
Thank you very much Ivan, and to answer your questions :
[Q1] To run a burned cd into my ps2 do i really need a mod chip?
[A] Yes, but the other way is using swap magic (although i havent tested it yet, but if you're already using modchip there's no need for you to use swap magic again) :)
[Q2] Can you give a step by step guide on how to run Code Breaker then load my cheats onto my mc?
[A] You just simply run codebreaker disc just like you are playing game but first you'll need to select the cheat first. And about loading codebreaker codes from mc, it'll load saved codes automatically and you dont have to do anything (if that is your question)
[Q3] how do i get my USB to work if i don’t have the right format?
[A] What is your ps2 type ? is it the new slim ps2 (i mean above scph 7000x series) because the new slim ps2 have problem especially with the usb driver on codebreaker, the only thing you can do is wait for a new release of codebreaker :(
hi i was wondering if it is possible to get software for the armax or a codebreaker put it onto any usb flash disck or memory stick and be able to use it i was trying to get saves of my memory card onto my flash disck an vice versa also can you help me? please email me christopherobrien8@hotmail.com
Im sorry for late reply because im having a really big problem (flood) right now
btw to answer your question. Unfortunately its not possible for you to use a cheat devices software for ps2 from your thumb drive :( ..
i have the Xploder lite package but i cant add cheats because i dont have the system package or sumthin thats why i was asking if i could cheat i have the finalfantasy XII but cant cheat because i cant add any cheats any ideas?
p.s. i downloaded a savefile with a .cbs format why wont this work on my ps2 and could this be converted or anything?
Well actually there are different types of cheat devices available for PS2 (of course it use different code type) and depend on your ps2 console type, you can only use cheat devices that is available for your console
i assume that you are not using a modchip on your ps2 and you are using XPloder as your cheat devices, judging from it .. i think that you're using a PAL PS2 (other than that you're from UK)
the famous codebreaker cheat devices can only be used on NTSC / US console (unless you're using a good modchip on your PAL ps2)
and the cbs file you have downloaded is a codebreaker savegame file, that means in order to use those savegame on your xploder, you'll have to convert it first using PS2 Save Builder (i havent tried Xploder yet but i think it'll work just fine) ;)
Hello how can i download ARmax i'm lokking for ages now please help me.
Tanks
Bouter

Hello Sir/Madaam
I have AR Max which i bought today so i could hack Smackdown Vs Raw 2007 and well im in a predicament.(pardon my spelling)
I dont have a memory stick to transfer saves and i cant plug my ps2 into the internet because i have the old ps2 and i dont have an internet adapter.
And therefore i cant put saves on to it!
Is there anyway to put saves onto it any other way?
Hi there. I read your article and but I'm a little confused of what to do since I'm new at all this. I want to transfer some game saves I got from gamefaqs.com to my memory card (since my last memory card's data got corrupted; don't you hate power outages that occur while you're in the middle of saving a game? This happened in the middle of a clear sunny day too).
I've already converted the saves into the proper format so that's not a problem. My PS2 is model#70012 (slimline version, unmodded) and all I have is my mp3 player (512 mb) that can act as a flash usb drive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I downloaded the gamesave builder but, what do I do now? I want to convert A cbs file ( code breaker ) to a MAX file for my PS2..
to convert cbs into max, you can simply open the cbs file using savebuilder and choose to save it as max .. and you're done :)
Hey, Reaper it's been a while. ^^,
Well i've been successful on burning a SEGA GENESIS Emu for my PS2 [and yes, i do agree that nothing beats PC Emulation ^^] and my nephews liked it. Thanks a bunch.
Now i'm back with another question since there's been a floating "ARMAX EVO" around and i wanted to try it out. And since i forgot my 1meter LAN cable at home i'm currently unable to back my saves to my HD [i bought my HDs with me here at UAE] and i'm looking for other alternatives while i'm having a hard time looking for a LAN cable [most PC shop/sellers here doesn't seem to recognize what a LAN cable is o.O].
I already "leeched" [heh ^^] the ARMAX EVO ISO via torrent [thanks to BC] and, it's a CD image. Sad thing is, i ran out of CD-R's. I tried burning it to a DVD and it finished successfully... but when i tested it in my PS2, it was busted [doesn't work].
So, my question is: how do i make a dummy file so i could possibly burn it to DVD version and so my PS2 could read it? Or, what procedures should i do to make it a DVD version? How large should i make the dummy file if i am to create one? The ISO's size is 104Mb, BTW.
Sorry for this yet another disturbance. ^^
Hey forget that question, already made it to work. Bought a CD-R a while ago and burnt it. Tested and runs good on my slimline. And yes, ARMAX EVO detects my USB flash drive! [at last!] Although it shows "Total Kb: 0" for now.
So here's another problem: how can i make my memory stick compatible? Should i format it into something specific so ARMAX EVO could detect it with the total space? What other tools should i use?
For now, i hope things come out good with ARMAX EVO [since hope went out for SCPH-7500x slimline series including mine]. ^^, I'll be waiting for your reply!
unlike codebreaker, armax usb driver doesnt offer much compatibility to various usb flash disk available in the market some say specific brand are worked with armax, and some other are not :(
btw so far i have tested this brand and they're compatible : Apacer, MyFlash, and Kingston
Ok thanks. I got ARMAX EVO working now with my China-made MP3player. ^^,

You'll need to burn the Firmware upgrade into a blank cd .. and then .. just run it like you were playing ps2 game
i have seen on some sights ps2 compatable so i can just use any i find it has to have certain specs have to support different usb types let me know if u know something about it thanks yet once again matt
USB specification used in PS2 only USB 1.1 ;)
as for support different usb type, i guess you were asking about Cheat Devices compatibility when used to backup your savegame
the answer is, that's depend on the Cheat Devices itself, for example i saw some people having problem in Codebreaker 9.2 / 9.3 to recognized their usb flash disk in new PS2 slim console (im using 70004 PAL and didnt have that problem) so i guess its above 70x version that is having problem with CB cant recognized usb device
and that means its software dependant :)

Unfortunately ... its not possible to run backup games (downloaded iso game) without using Modchip or using SwapMagic :(
# Kristian
If you still looking for it ... just leave comment here again ;)
i hav downloaded swapmagic can i burn it 2 CD to use on my ps2 and play burned games or do i need the original?
and can i convert it to the format tht works on ps2 so tht i can use my flash drive to play the game on my ps2?
# Joko
i hav downloaded swapmagic can i burn it 2 CD to use on my ps2 and play burned games or do i need the original?
unfortunately no, you'll need to get the original version of swapmagic
because if you burned it, you'll need to have modchip installed in order to run the burned swapmagic
and can i convert it to the format tht works on ps2 so tht i can use my flash drive to play the game on my ps2?
I dont really understand about this part, maybe you could explain it any further ?
are you trying to say you want to play games from flashdisk ? if thats your question, the answer is no :)
if i remove the files from a ps2 cd n put a downloaded game on it will it work?
Could you be more specific about what you're going to do?
is there a way to play copied games on my unmodified ps2?mine Is PAL.
THANK U
if i delete the files from a cd that plays on a ps2 can i put a downloaded game on the cd
# Ashwin
Unfortunately the answer is no .. the only way to play copied games you'll need to use Swap Magic method or Modchip method
btw if you dont want to use modchip because you dont want to lose your ps2 warranty, you can use the swap magic / disc method :)
# joko
Ah ... it is not possible to delete files from an already made ps2 cd / dvd because the media (the cd / dvd used) itself is not Rewritable, so you'll need to buy a blank cd / dvd to burn it

I have a slimline ps2 model #70012 , and I just recently bought a flash drive for it. When I plug in the flash drive, and load up codebreaker, codebreaker doesn't read that the flash drive is plugged in, but it is and the light lights up to prove thats its got power going through it.
Any help at all, would be GREATLY appreciated.
i have a ps3 and i lost a ps2 save off of the ps2 virtual memory card
