What's needed to Transfer Rosters to PS2?

Yeah, you just have to convert them. Let me know if this file works. If not, I might need you to upload the default franchise file. Can't seem to find a PAL one online.

hHs anyone else had success with this method? Sorry, just started looking into updating rosters for the first time. Was thinking of going with the MC and Mcboot as its a cheaper option than buying the AR disc.

Can anyone help? I just got the AR Max PS2 disc and I only have regular usb drives. Is there any way I can move saves from a regular usb to the PS2??

[GillBoldberg]

It should work fine. I think there's a version or 2 that don't work with generic usb devices but most do. Just make sure your usb devices are FAT32 format and see if your ps2 can "see" them via the ps2 disc.

Does anyone have instructions regarding how to do the transfer of rosters to PS2 using an Action Replay Max (memory card version not the USB stick)?

I'm having a REALLY hard time finding concise instructions that outline what software I need, how to move the file from a personal USB flash drive onto the memory card and ultimately load on the PS2. Please help!

[GillBoldberg]

Does the memory card version come with a disc? Seems like you'd still need to put the saves on a usb drive, plug into your ps2, then via the disc software you should be able to transfer the save onto your memory card.

Well, I have everything that I need, but my USB contents are not showing up on the file screen in AR Max. It definitely has .max files and the PS2 recognizes that the USB is plugged in - just isn't displaying files. Ideas?

[GillBoldberg]

Is it the USB that's not showing up or is it just the files that aren't showing up?

-make sure the USB is in FAT32 format (which most already are)
-make sure your max files are on the root of your USB (not buried in any folders)
-sometimes it takes awhile for the files to show up, so be a little patient. You should see some indicator that the software is looking for max files. A spinning icon or an hourglass icon.
-Try a different USB drive/stick, most should work but according to some other peoples experience certain ones work more consistently than others.

As long as the max software is recognizing the USB drive, you should be good. Just sometimes it takes awhile for the software to find the max files, depending on the size of your USB drive. Smaller might be better in this case.
