PS2 Action Replay MAX EVO edition Reviewed

[wraggster]

Just had the chance to try out the Max Evo by Datel, the new PS2 Product that enables the PS2 owner to play MP3s, Media Files (Avi etc), and finally the most important, Genesis emulation on the PS2 without a modchip.[br][br]Read the full review Here

Good review Wraggster, I have one myself and generally agree. ;D
Only problem I find is the sound is all messed up on PGEN, tried fiddling with settings but makes no difference. I've tried a few different roms but no luck improving it. ???
Does anyone know if you can use the Action Replay Max to play SNES, SMS etc roms on a no modded PS2? If so, how?
Thanks

[wraggster]

well ive been told theres a way but that person didnt guve full details

if anyone finds out please let us know

I tried burning snestation.elf file to cdr with a few roms, media recognised the file as .elf file and allowed me to select it but just went to a blank screen.

[wraggster]

if this means any sense please try it "I ported PGEN so it would support the pen drive but I don't think many
people understand how they can change other emulators for this support.
It would be great for people to include all the IRX files in the elf
then it would be a lot easier for retro fans."

[wraggster]

so is there an elf opener?

and a closer :P

Further, is it possible to run hard disk installer via media player? Or run back-up games?

I have one question about this thing. Does it allow you to use codes for PS1 games. And If not, would a Action Replay, or some other sort of cheat device made for the PS1, work on a PS2.

thanks

Dont believe it'll run PS1 codes, don't think any of the PS2 AR's do, but i'm not 100% on that. ???
As for running PS1 AR on PS2, I think they are plug in modules for the PS1 so I don't think so.
Like I say, I'm not 100%, so I could be wrong ???

I only have the arv2 so not sure about the max ones but the one I have came with a cd of ps1 codes ready for use. Of course if you have the old disc version of the ar released for the ps1 that will work as well
