AR Max code list - UPDATE 22/01/04
(Xport to memory card, overwriting existing AR Max settings if present. This update will return your preference to default)

DL here (http://us.codejunkies.com/downloads/USARMaxupdate220104.xps)

i dont have a X-port! i was pretty sure you could d/l them directly from the ps2 if its hooked up to a network adapter!

Maybe you didn't setup the network correctly, also turn off the firewall, follow this instructions and you'll be fine.

so if i follow your instructions i can download codes directly to my ps2/dongle?

[khafan]

the downloaded codes will be saved into memorycard not directly to dongle and each time you run AR Max, it will load new codes from memorycard. only the codes that you enter manually will save in dongle.

ok.. but before i worry about that i need to get the high speed thing working!! i tried with the site u mentioned but i have a big problem. i made the network with my pc and ps2 and the wisard was sucessful. when i test with my ps2(network startup disk) it says Ethernet cable not connected to a network.. even tho its connected to my pc and i connected with the right dial up thing!:confused: any ideas?
thanks

Are you sure that you are using crossover cable?

i was just using a ethernet cable! where can i get a crossover cable in canda? will walmart or radioshack carry them? can i make one easily?

[khafan]

Sorry, I'm not in Canada or US, try your local computer store or search the online sellers for Cat 5E Crossover Cable.

It's not easy to make one by yourself, they use a special tool to press the sockets.

i got mine off pricewatch.com for like 3$ there relly cheap to buy online

i am gonna have a look around at some local stores around here. if i cant find one i will go on-line. i just dont wanna have to pay shipping and handling plus have to wait for it to ship!
