    Question about MAX Drive

    I just want to know if anyone has it. Because I want to know if it is easy to use as the X-Port. I'm thinking of buying one because the X-Port discs don't work on my PS2. Any help would be appreciated.

    Re: Question about MAX Drive

    I ordered one weeks ago, and it came in the mail the other day.

    I haven't checked it out yet, as I don't have a sports game or need to transfer files, but its basically a flash-drive (very small), that has a cord that makes it compatible with the XBox controller.

    Basically, you connect the device to your XBox where it acts as a memory card, and copy/save any files you want.

    Then unplug it, take it to your PC, and plug it into the USB port of the PC. You can then transfer the files.

    It's much more convienent than the SharkPort/Xport/Action Replay, because the data is stored on the flash disc, which you can then carry around, even to a friend's house, etc.

    Again, I haven't used it myself yet, but once I rent or buy a sports game, I will be using it to transfer rosters.

    Take care.

                Re: Question about MAX Drive

                I rented NCAA Football 2004, and used my Max Drive to copy a roster file over..

                Basically, you install the PC software, and use that software as the means for transferring files.

                After installing and plugging in the Max Drive (to a USB port), you run the software.

                When open, there is a PC window and a Max Drive window. All you do is drag an XBox save (in Zip form) to the PC window, and then drag that fie from the PC window to the Max Drive window.

                Then, you unplug the Max Drive, and plug it into the controller converter (small cord). I plugged mine into controller port 2, and started up my XBox.

                You then access the controller/max drive like a standard memory card, copying over files, etc.

                It works very well, and the only issue I had with it was that I had "locked" (write protected) the Max Drive, and thus wasn't sure why it wasn't letting me copy game files over.

                If you do get a Max Drive, make sure you have the little button on the "unlocked" picture, or your data will be locked and unable to be altered. It's a neat feature, but one that you need to know about, or you won't be able to transfer saves.

                Very nice device though. Basically, you take the files from your PC, put them on the Max Drive flashdisc, and then can take that flash disc (and tiny cord) to any Xbox and plug it in, to transfer saves.

                The device also snaps into a little case to prevent damage to the USB portion of the flashdisc.

                The Max Drive itself is about the size of a nail clipper, and the cord's length is about tip of thumb to tip of middle finger. It's very small, and very portable.

                If you are looking for a device to transfer XBox saves, I highly recommend the Max Drive. It also comes preloaded with quit a few game saves, with unlocked levels, etc. For instance, Project Gotham racing, Crimson Skies (all money, tokens, planes), as well as saves for most new games released in the last year or so.

                You can also download more save games from the website.

                I bought the device to transfer sporting files, but it certainly will be useful for online games that require you to play through the single player mode to unlock multiplayer things (like Project Gotham Racing 2, etc. Some people just want to play online. This allows them to download a save and do just that.


                Overall, nice product, and very easy to use. Just remember to move the tab to the "unlocked" position, or your files are "locked/write protected."

                Take care.

                      Yep, I just got mine today, and I'm very satified with how it works. Very convenient tool, portable, and holds a lot of information (16mb). Tons better than Xport/Action Replay.
