dose any body know if u can get online with this with both boardband and 56k or just boardband cause im thinking of buying it but if its only board band like every other good thing that comes out on the ps2 net then it would be worthless to me

Yes, needs a dongle.....Yes, needs a BB Connection. PS2 networking won't work wiv anything else.

I just got the AR Max upgrade disk and I only have dialup connection,
so I connected my PS2 to PC through ethernet port and now I can use it's online features with the help of my PC 56K modem.
I wonder why they don't support dialup connection because the biggest update that I've downloaded, only was about 1MB.

is it hard to do that way ? cause i got a eather net port on my pc but with me if its hard to do then i wont be able to do it i suck at setting up connects and stuff. I guess they think that ever body in the world has BB so they make it that away i dont even know why that put the 56k opition on the modem cause ever game thats good is BB only resone why i think they did the 56k so they could sell more knowing not many games will support it. But if it ant to hard to do i will give it a try the way u did it

What is your PC OS ? if you have win XP, it will be very easy.
also for connecting your PS2 directly to pc ethernet port, you need a crossovered lan cable, like this one
One more thing, since this thread is off topic, I think we shoud PM each other before get punished

EVOEvo · #8 19-10-2003, 09:06

yeah i got xp so i will give it a shot then

only thing is i would h8 to waste 30$ on the ar max if i cant get it to work

i could always sell it on ebay if worse comes to worse

Ok first get the cable, and I help you to set up your network, then if everthing goes right, get AR Max.

EVOEvo · #10 19-10-2003, 22:48

can it just be any eather net cable cause i could buy one at the local store

khafan · #11 20-10-2003, 01:17

It must be a crossover cable not a Straight cable, here is more info,

could i play games like midnight club 2 this way ? cause its a BB only game

khafan · #13 20-10-2003, 13:39

you can play midnight club 2 online, only up to 2 player and sometimes with a good dialup connection up to 3 player, more than 3, you'll be disconnected.
although I play the PC version of this game up to 4 player everynight.

I just visited the support section of codejunkies forum and there are people that AR Max has corrupted their memory card, It's better that you also see that section.
another issue that I experienced, when I download a save file with AR Max and load the game with that save, I can't overwrite the save file and it give me a corrupted file.
I think they didn't test AR Max carefully and it's like a beta product.
ok, I just wanted warn you about this issues.
