4.0 out of 5 stars A tip for getting your flash drive to work with this program, April 15, 2009

This product has been satisfactory, thus far, but I had some difficulty in getting Action Replay MAX to recognize any of my 3 USB flash drives. This was a big problem, as the only reason I bought this program was to copy save games from the internet to my memory cards. Anyway, after doing some sleuthing on the web, I came across some instructions that worked perfectly for me on the first try!

(courtesy of Stone14 on the [...] forums, with a few of my edits)
These directions assume Windows XP (although they should be remarkably similar for other editions of Windows)

"you can use ANY size, brand, and style of USB flash drive (I'm using my mp3 usb drive) as long as
1. it's plug and play and
2. you follow these semi-simple steps to format your flash drive so that your ps2 will see it.

1 insert drive onto computer
2 click on start/settings/control panel
3 go to administrative tools
4 double click on computer management
5 click on storage/disk management(local)
6 find your flash drive (BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT IT'S YOUR FLASH DRIVE)
7 right click on the area that says your flash drive's name AND has a blue stripe above it
*8 delete partition ((it will tell you that you'll lose all of your data stored on the drive)(hence why i said to make absolutely certain that the drive you're clicking on is in fact your usb flash drive)
9 right click on the now unallocated space where your drive was before
10 create new partition: in the popup it will give you some options; volume label, file system, allocation unit size, perform a quick format
11 volume label doesn't matter, file system has to be fat, allocation unit size has to be 16k, and you choose weather to quick format or not (I did just so you know)
12 after it's done just plug it into your ps2 usb port and away you go!!!!"

* - You may not have to delete the partition manually--I didn't. I just went right to the 'format' option when I right clicked on the area with the blue strip. All you really are trying to do is format your flash drive to FAT file system and allocation unit size of 16k. That's it!

I hope these instructions help someone out there. You DON'T have to buy the Action Replay flash drive in order to transfer files...your flash drive will work, but you have to be willing to reformat it to FAT (which WILL erase all of the files on it, so move them or back them up first BEFORE you click 'format')

I bought this item used for under $20 and it was well worth the price. I have so far used this item on 5 different video games and have not received one problem yet. All you need to do is just choose the codes for the game you want to play after being instructed to switch the AR disc with the chosen game disc. It only takes less than a couple of minutes for the game to start with the selected codes which is compared to the hours it takes to complete a single game. The memory card has a mega storage capacity for saving whatever you accomplish in any game. The only drawback is even though it has a ton of codes for many of the games that have been released, I would like to see them add codes for the games that are being released this year. Otherwise, I have no other complaints since, this cheat system has done everything I was hoping it would do and, has saved me a lot of frustration and time. This is a great addition to the playstation 2 console.

Works great! I am using the AR Max to transfer edits from my Fire Pro PS2 game to the Fire Pro Club site on line and downloading others edits to my PS2 system. I have had no problems at all with it. AR Max does exactly what it is supposed to do.
