Recommended PS2 Tools
Posted by Reaper-X Jul 16 2006 11:18 pm
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

# 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 :)
sorry for asking so much question so this will be my last question, do i burn under data dvd or bootable dvd ?
HOW DO I EXTRACT THE BIOS FILE ?
Thx for the file, do i just extract them then burn them inside a dvd-rw or is there any specification ?
saifuddin@post.com / alphasaifuddin@hotmail.com
yep .. such as email address :)
contact information ???
Do you have contact information :)
do u have a link where i can download codebreaker for my ps2 ? if u can, many great thanks to you!!!
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!
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) ;)
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)?
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)
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?
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?
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
No, only CodeBreaker_v9.2.iso and CB9.2.elf
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 ?
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 ;)
Your welcome Maurizio
btw if you want to buy Codebreaker, you can go to its official website at CMGSCCC :)
Ok Aditya thanks for your fast answer! I’m going to search for a webstie selling this device then.
Best Regards!
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 :)
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!
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!
Unfortunately i dont know anything about PS3 :(
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
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/
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
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
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
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 ?
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
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?
You should take a look at your inbox maybe there’s something new :)
i m all ears (eyes)
besmir_666@hotmail.com
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 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.
Could you give more detailed description ? and what cheat devices you’re using ? is it Codebreaker or Action Replay Max ?
i m trying to do the same thing that Insomnia Artist was trying to do and it stops at “email me”
any help please
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 ;)
Is there any programs here that can format a PS2 Memory Card without modding your PS2? Using the ARMax Media Gate for instance?
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 =)
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?
you must have cheat devices in order to transfer the downloaded savegame into your ps2 … email me for more info ;)
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.
yes, especially the ps2 save converter program :)
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?
no the above software got nothing to do with Burned PS2 Disc
will any of these help you play burned PS2 disks on your PS2?
