hey all.
so my ps2 has freemcboot on it and i have backed all of my games up and they load perfectly after esr patching.

I wanted to be able to use my action replay but it doesnt seem to work for me though
i downloaded this pre patched version of my action replay.

http://www.theisozone.com/downloads/playstation/other/action-replay-max-60hz-palntsc/

i hoped that would do the job but after booting in and choosing my codes i try to start my games
and even my non backed up discs it always hangs on the loading game screen.

unfortunately it looks like code breaker is out because it is ntsc only as was gameshark if i am not mistaken.

I dont really know where to go from here and was hoping someone here could maybe help me out :)

i have tried searching the net but all i can come up with is codebreaker which wont work for me and doesnt have the games i require :(
plus even if i could work it i don't own a codebreaker so it would be piracy but i do own an ar max evo

p.s the link provided is for informational purposes only if you do not own action replay max evo please don't download it from that link i put it there to show you what i have tried.

There is a patched codebreaker to load ELF files instead of discs.
Have it load ESR after selecting your codes, and ESR will boot your backup

i know this is an old thread, but can you use pal games with codebreaker.

i just found that when i use a esr patched action replay and use legit games it hangs on the launching game screen.

i had another version which wasnt esr patched which worked for backups and retail discs but i hate using swap magic and swaping the discs.

im looking for something ideally i can boot and put my legit or esr patched games (PAL)

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
