Action Replay Max for PS2 - Should I Get It???

[ADROiT]

Hi again people. I need some advice from the wise and experienced. :)
I had Action Replay for my old PS-One and it was great. I loved it. Never had a problem with it.
Now I'm thinking of getting the Action Replay Max for my PS2, however, I've read some rather negative reviews about it on amazon.com and in some other chat forums.
Can anyone tell me what the story is with it? Is it actually any good? Or should I save my money?
I've got a Messiah 2 Pro MOD-chip installed; will that affect it at all?
Any advice anyone can give me will be very greatly appreciated.

BTW - I'm wanting to use it for Cheat codes; not for it's software MOD capabilities as my Messiah 2 Pro does that just fine.

Cool. Thanks.
Hey, maybe you can tell me; can you use any standard USB computer keyboard to enter cheat codes into the AR Max? Or is there something special about the "Powerboard" keyboard that Datel sells?

You can use USB Pen Drive to update your codelist but only with ARMAX EVO. Most standard USB Pen Drive work.
