And that wouldn't explain the soft-locks in Max Memory.Ģ.
#Action replay max ps2 game saves psx2 software#
I tried that, and the software soft-locked when I tried to save (this time it showed a progress bar to save, but it never showed any signs of progress). This would explain why the software would soft-lock at the main loading screen, but this suggests that the easy fix would be to change a setting and save it. The file would have been read by the software which would have instructed the software to load a nonexistent profile save. Some AR MAX file that was saving must have gotten corrupted so badly that not even reformatting the card would get rid of that data. At this point, I've given up trying to find an answer (or a way to be able to use my AR MAX again and get FMCB back).ġ. I still wanted to try AR MAX again by loading it up with a memory card populated with game saves (didn't work). The PS2 browser still worked for deleting save files. I was quite worried that the memory card as a whole was completely screwed, but get this: everything else still works! I loaded up several games and they were able to load and save data as they should. The screen blurred (as it should), but nothing else happened on screen (background animations and music continued), and I lost input from the controller (I knew this because I tried the reset disc button combo and sadly it didn't work). Again, the software took way too long to search for a 4kb file (granted, the card was mostly empty) and I eventually decided to try to format the memory card in the My Devices menu. I reset the PS2, loaded into Max Memory, and tried to open the memory card contents in the manager. As soon as I pressed X on the option to uncrush to the memory card, I had lost all input from the controller and nothing on screen happened (another soft-lock). I entered Max Memory, inserted the memory card, and tried to "uncrush" the system configuration file to the memory card. I had transferred my modded System Configuration file that I used for the Independence Exploit back on my flash drive, reset the PS2, and loaded AR MAX successfully without the memory card. I tried starting up AR MAX normally (memory card inserted only), and ended up soft-locked at the main loading screen again. Moved my backups to my computer, and reformatted the flash drive to FAT32 to be safe on the flash drive side as well. I had thought that FMCB was causing conflicts with AR MAX, so I booted the installer from my USB, uninstalled FMCB, and formatted the memory card just to be safe, I pressed every button I could press and even tried the button combo to reset the AR MAX disc, but nothing worked (all while the background animations and music played as normal). When I backed out of the "My Devices" menu, I heard the "cancel" sound effect and I suddenly had no input on the screen. I checked my flash drive in the "My Devices" menu and my save backups seemed to load fine. Once I booted into Max Memory, I tried inserting my memory card and flash drive to attempt to transfer the saves, thinking it was a simple bug. I tried that and I was able to reach the main menu (the loading screen skipped the "loading profile settings" phase) and load Max Memory (the memory manager).
I had read on a forum somewhere about someone that had a similar problem, and the user who had that problem stated that they could reach the AR MAX main menu by removing their memory card before launching the disc. I turned off the PS2 by holding down the power button. I waited for a while until I realized that I was effectively "soft-locked". Then the background animation would freeze, but the music and foreground loading animation (the blue/white flashing bulb under the Datel logo) would continue. I didn't have profile settings saved on my memory card nor my flash drive, by the way. The loading screen would get to the point where the text at the bottom says "loading profile settings", and stay there for a while. However, when I tried to open up AR Max with my flash drive and memory card inserted, the software "froze" at the primary loading screen. psu format through PS2 save builder or PS2 save converter, since AR MAX saves are compressed, or "crushed"). MC: nYko licensed MagicGate PS2 memory card (8MB)ĪR MAX version: v3.71 (has Max Memory, no Media Player)Īfter experiencing the wonders of FreeMCBoot (FMCB) and other homebrew programs, I had wanted to move my backed up saves (.max format) to my memory card through AR MAX (since I didn't trust the stability of directly converting MAX saves to.
