Oct 17, 2008 - If you have version 3.32 or older of Action Replay MAX you can get your. Either slot on your PS2™ and your USB Pen-drive into a USB port. A very simple to use, incredibly powerful tool for unlocking levels, in game. Xploder has been around since the PS2 era (and is from the makers of Game Shark). We offer full UK based support and free performance updates. The software works entirely on your PC or Mac and you transfer saves to your PS4 using a USB.
Ever tried to cheat on your HDD games but for some reason it wont work? This guide explains how to combine your ARMAX disc with a ps2.ISO file to be installed onto a ps2 Hard Drive. I wrote this guide because of the lack of information on this topic.
What you need: - Action Replay MAX - a hex editor (any hex editor will do) - Daemon Tools (if you are using a game iso) - ISOBuster - about 6-8GB HD Space max (PC) 1.Extract ARMAX Insert your ARMAX cd into your pc, open up isobuster, and select the drive its in. Highlight everything apart from BIG.DAT, BIG2.DAT and DUMMY.zip. Right click one of the files and click extract, somewhere where you can easily find it like C: ARMAX. Also right click the red iso icon and select 'Copy Tree-Info to file -> LBA, Full Path' and save the text file somewhere. 2.Modify AR's SLES/SLUS file Run your Hex Editor.
Open ARMAX's SLES/SLUS (SLES_500.09, SLUS_20x.xx) file and search for SYSTEM.CNF. Change it to SYSTE1.CNF.
Search a few more times and change all the results, different versions have different amounts of SYSTEM.CNF mine had 4-5. 3.Extract Your Game Files Load isobuster either with your game in the drive or select file, open image. Extract the contents just like you did with ARMAX to a folder C: GAMENAME. 'Copy Tree-Info to file -> LBA, Full Path' once more, now close isobuster. 4.Rename games SYSTEM.CNF Fairly self explanatory go to the folder where you extracted your games contents to and rename its SYSTEM.CNF to SYSTE1.CNF. 5.Order Game files Start up CD/DVD-Generator Version 1.50 Patched, Create New Project -> DVD-ROM Master Disc. Open the text file created by isobuster for the game and drag the game files in order to the DIRECTORY window.
Open up the ARMAX text file and add the ARMAX files in order also. Select Volume tab, enter your SL*S number with no '.' Into disc name and change license area to wherever you are. Now just Select File ->
Export IML FILE.
6.Create ISO Open up IML2DVD, IML2ISO or Apache. IML2DVD: browse click the [.] Button and select the IML you just created, choose an output iso file name then click start. Not sure about IML2ISO. Apache: Click File -> Import IML File, then File -> Build ISO. Heres my created ISO in ISOBuster 6.Transfering The ISO To The Hard Drive With the PS2 Hard Drive connected to your Computer load up WINHIIP. Select your drive then click Add Image and browse to you ISO.
Make sure you set the boot file as your AR SLES and click install. Now load up HDloader/HDadvance and select your game, ARMAX should load. Note:This needs to be done to each game you want to cheat on. Seems not worth it, but once you've done it once its really easy. Credit for this guide go's to chevyuk who I think first descovered this method but has been modified alot for greater compatibility. Ok here are download links to all files that are needed, links should be permanent so post if they dont work. ARMAX can be obtained from,no direct links as it gets regular updates.
