Having trouble loading cheat into my FFX international.
Currently im using ARmax 122.2 (i think its Philippine chipak or something). Most of the master code give unknown error when entering.

I try to swap to other cheat, like xploder pro 4/ ARmax (normal one) but it cannot load. I think im using Super7 E-17 mod chip.

Can anyone recommend me a working cheat platform or working master code for chipak ARmax 122.2?

EDITED : Using Codebreaker V10. Work like a charm

Another question. I have a ps2 to LCD monitor using HDBOXPRO.
But im not sure the graphic is the best i have.

My LCD is 22" 1680x1050.
HDBOXPRO setting = res : 1680x1050, FULL, minor mix in color
PS2 setting = res FULL, YPbPr

Is this correct?

EDITED : Now i experiencing distorted screen/blank screen(1-2sec) once a while. Is it the LCD or HDBOXPRO or ps2 fault?

What resolution should i choose if i connect to a 16:9 LCD monitor?


Edited : I realize that PS2 have no REAL widescreen mode. Maybe i will try 4:3 resolution and stick on my 16:9 monitor. I think it has auto size image.

which one is better on my lcd monitor samsung 2494 ??
cause i wanna ask some expert without blindly buy the vga box...
i saw some of them who bought a vga box but then ended up put aside the vga box cause the graphic is not acceptable..
dun wanna waste few hundred bucks for some box which can't be used...
any pro's out there got use b4 this 2 and can guide me on which one shud i buy ??
Gadmei if not mistaken is 150 ++ where HD Box Pro is around 180~~

have anyone tested these 2 vga box with 24" lcd monitor ?? ( mine was samsung 2494 )

I got samsung 2494HS and HDBOXPRO smile.gif
Graphic is fine but i got some distorted screen after playing too long. You need to shutdown (not standby) the HDBOXPRO after using it. Overall its good.


============================================================

I have some question. Need some spoon feeding smile.gif
i have a ps2 slim modded and codebreaker 10.
I seen a lot of people talking about extra feature like fmcb, elf, hdloader, etc. After searching around, i still confuse with those feature.

Here is my question:
1) Since my ps2 slim doesn't have HDD, can i use remote HDD and load my game from there instead of disc?
2) Loading game from HDD only work with japanese game (or japanese console) ?
2) I heard that i can load cheat into codebreaker using usb. What kind of format / path / file type i should use in order to do that.
3) I also heard it possible to load codebreaker directly USB, no need to swap disc. How to do so?

Answer those that I know

Summary of elfs(think of it as .exe for windows)
FMCB(free mcboot)
-It allows you to boot to a modified screen with extra options, so instead of the usual browser and settings, have other "shortcuts" like HDL, ULE etc. Note it won't work on most SCPH-9000x models, as Sony had "repaired" the exploit.

ULE(ulaunchelf)
-Browser for PS2. Has useful functions like launch elfs, copy and paste files, backup memory card etc

OPL(Open PS2 Loader), USBA(USB Advance)
-Play games from USB HDD

HDL(HDLoader)
-Play games from internal IDE HDD(mainly the PS2 phats, requires PS2 Network Adapter)

1)Possible to play from USB HDD using OPL or USBA. though compatibility is not as great as HDL, and the FMVs are jerky as the USB ports are only 1.1. But coders are currently researching into streaming/playing games from LAN. It is still under development, so that's something to look forward to.

2)Playing from HDD bypasses regional restrictions, so it's a question of whether the game is compatible to play from HDD.

Not too sure about codebreaker, since I don't use it, but I suppose you need to have FMCB installed on your PS2 first. From there use ULE, launch the elf for codebreaker.

Thanks for replying. Sadly, my ps2 is SCPH 90006. So, Fmcb wont work.
Now looking into ULE, OPL and USBA. Thanks for your guideline, finally know where to start

EDITED : Really regret getting a slim version. From the compatible list i see, many games cannot play thru hdd on slim.
