The Action Replay Max Evo Review.
Introduction
Hi im wraggster the webmaster of DCEmu
& also PS2Emu
one being this Dreamcast Site and the other being a
Playstation 2 site that follows the homebrew and emulation
scene. I heard of the Action Replay Max Evo a while
ago and wanted to see if it was true about the capabilties
it posessed.
Buying the Action Replay Max Evo
I live in England so buying from Hong Kong/ China is
always a worry because you have to put your trust into
people from the other side of the world, but Divineo
China are a proven shop worldwide and the price
of $36 (approx £18) is very good along with cheap
shipping, which arrived very fast was also pleasing.
The Max Evo boasts these features:(Copied from Divineo
China )

for the latest and greatest PS2 games. Blast your games
wide open with infinite health and ammo, unlock characters,
levels, vehicles and more.

of ways. The only cheat code system that can be updated
