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) ;)

Nice page, sort of. Video ripper, audio ripper. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about PICTURE rippers?! Where do I get those? I want to rip ALL the picture files (the ones in the “CG Gallery”) from the game “Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore”. Now if you can find me such a picture ripper, I’ll be the happiest man alive. I’ll have all the bikini-clad chicks from the game, now as wallpaper on my computer

OK so I have an unmodded ps2 and all I want to do is transfer some save files over from my computer to my ps2 memory stick. Without modding it, is there a way to do this? Or if I buy Codebreaker/Action Replay will that work?
Evan ??notsure?? Dec 1, 2008 at 5:07 PM
I would like to know how to get ahold of this codebreaker software or ar max… i believe it is all thats left that i need to run my backups. From where do i download it, possibly free?
Well since armax and codebreaker isnt free unfortunately you’ll need to buy it :(
although i believe you can find it on *cough* torrent *cough* :P
but as a side note, you’ll need a modded ps2 to run a burned armax / cb (im using modchip not using swapmagic so i can’t tell whether it’ll work or not if you’re using swapmagic)
and lastly, codebreaker by default don’t run on non US console even if you bought it (i have PAL console), but because i have a “special” version of codebreaker i have no problem running it on PAL machine, assuming that you have good modchip installed on your ps2 ;)

Wow thanks for the reply! Is there anyway I can download armax or codebreaker and burn them into a disc or something?
Hello Tatsuya, actually in order to transfer save file using USB file you’ll need a cheat device like armax or codebreaker (i have tried them both) :)
Tatsuya Nov 26, 2008 at 7:31 PM

Hi Reaper-X, i hope you can help me. I have a PS2 PAL that isn’t modded and i want to transfer save games between my PC and PS2. So do i need software like CodeBreaker to do it? If so which one do you recommend and where can i find it?

Hi
I am interested in obtaining a free version of code breaker9 (malware free, plz). If you know of a safe download or can send it to me I would very much appreciate it. I have a ps2 slim, but I’m not sure which version. I have never used any ps2 cheat software before, so any advice would also be much appreciated. Thanks for your time and help.

Reaper,
Do you know how to get a save file from a PC to a PS2 MC using a regular flash drive without having to buy ARmax, sharkport, or anything like that?

On the back of each PS2 game inner circle there is a ID number followed by a letter like thats the game number he’s referring to.
