PlayStation 2 Action Replay Max Drive question

[dan77733]

How do I transfer a roster/franchise file from my PS2 memory card to the Max Drive and have it actually be listed as a Max Drive file on my PC instead of being in a damn folder?

Transferring files from my PC to the Max Drive to the PS2 memory card isnt a problem whatsoever. It's transferring the file back thats causing me a problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You have to crush the file first.

Put your AR cd and Max Drive in, go to My Devices and select your memory card as your primary device. Search for the file you want to export, select it and then "crush" it. when you're done scroll down the list again and find the new file that has been created (it has a symbol before the name) that's the .max file. Copy that to your Max Drive and you're done.

Hope it will help

Thanks for the help but I just tried it and this is what happens -

After I crush the file (which has a CT logo or something to the left of it), I try copying it to the max drive. It reads it but when it gets to the writing part, it says "unknown error copying file NFL2K3 roster".

So, obviously thats not it. This sucks because if this deosnt work, then 2K5 will be RIP for me and I will most likely just quit playing football games.

I'm looking into it. As soon as I discover something I'll let you know.

I searched over the net and it seems to be a frequent problem, although never occurred to me.

Do you have Action Replay Max EVO?

anyway from what I gathered, the problem should be with the USB stick (Max Drive) not reading correctly...

in any case, check that:

• you have sufficient space on your Max Drive
• the free space on your Max Drive is shown correctly

if not,

1. go back to the main menu.
2. unplug your usb drive and plug it back. the usb drive’s light indicator should be blinking by now.
3. wait until it stop blinking.
4. go back to the ‘choose primary device’ menu.
5. choose USB

Now check if everything's right


As I said, I get no problem in crushing (compressing) the game saves and then moving them to my MD so I don't know what else can you do

Nope.

I even formatted the Max Drive via my PC and the same damn error message pops up when I tried copying or moving the file to the Max Drive.

This sucks but it looks like 2K5 will finally be dead for me. Oh well.

Thanks for your help.
