Action Replay MAX (NTSC & PAL)


Encrypting a NTSC Code into a NTSC Code: Simple

Step 1: To begin, download MAXcrypt 1.41[/u][/url] (40 KB)

Step 2: Open MAXcrypt 1.41. At the bottom-left, in Game ID, enter 04AD, &, in Region, select USA.

Step 3: Using the code, Infinite Weapons under the Ring, as an example, in Input, enter 20527A00 00000000. (Note 1)

Step 4: Replace the 20 in 20527A00 00000000 with 04. If done correctly, the code should now be 04527A00 00000000. (Note 2)

Step 5: Finally, to convert -

04527A00 00000000

- to AR MAX (NTSC), select Encrypt. If done correctly, the code should finally be:

GFP6-3X2D-DUVY5 (Note 3)
2PZG-WNZW-QA440

Note 1: In Input, ONLY use Hex (NTSC) codes.

Note 2: Except for an 8-bit constant write, Action Replay MAX reads address commands differently than the other cheat-devices. Thus far, 8-bit constant write, 16-bit constant write, 32-bit constant write, 16-bit equal, 16-bit not equal, 16-bit less than, 16-bit greater than & MasterCommand are all the known commands:

8-bit constant write
00aaaaaa 000000dd = 00aaaaaa 000000dd

16-bit constant write
10aaaaaa 0000dddd = 02aaaaaa 0000dddd

32-bit constant write
20aaaaaa dddddddd = 04aaaaaa dddddddd

16-bit equal
D0aaaaaa 0000dddd = 0Aaaaaaa 0000dddd

16-bit not equal
D0aaaaaa 0010dddd = 0Aaaaaaa 0010dddd

16-bit less than
D0aaaaaa 0020dddd = 0Aaaaaaa 0020dddd

16-bit greater than
D0aaaaaa 0030dddd = 0Aaaaaaa 0030dddd

MasterCommand
F0aaaaaa bbbbbbbb = C4aaaaaa bbbbbbbb

Note 3: Because it, using the option, Auto Identifier, is generated, the first line of a code - or code verifier - is always different (even if again encrypting the exact code). For example, if following the above steps, using its examples, your code verifier might be 1JA9-NY6Q-76Y1A, FM4D-TE8H-C604A, etc., rather than GFP6-3X2D-DUVY5.


Encrypting a PAL Code into a PAL Code: Simple

Step 1: To begin, download MAXcrypt 1.41[/u][/url] (40 KB)

Step 2: Open MAXcrypt 1.41. At the bottom-left, in Game ID, enter 04B7, &, in Region, select PAL.

Step 3: Using the code, Infinite Weapons under the Ring, as an example, in Input, enter 20527700 00000000. (Note 1)

Step 4: Replace the 20 in 20527700 00000000 with 04. If done correctly, the code should now be 04527700 00000000. (Note 2)

Step 5: Finally, to convert -

04527700 00000000

- to AR MAX (NTSC), select Encrypt. If done correctly, the code should finally be:

QYBU-1RTD-RAPW7 (Note 3)
H6Y7-WME0-THKA4

Note 1: In Input, ONLY use Hex (PAL) codes.

Note 2: Except for an 8-bit constant write, Action Replay MAX reads address commands differently than the other cheat-devices. Thus far, 8-bit constant write, 16-bit constant write, 32-bit constant write, 16-bit equal, 16-bit not equal, 16-bit less than, 16-bit greater than & MasterCommand are all the known commands:

8-bit constant write
00aaaaaa 000000dd = 00aaaaaa 000000dd

16-bit constant write
10aaaaaa 0000dddd = 02aaaaaa 0000dddd

32-bit constant write
20aaaaaa dddddddd = 04aaaaaa dddddddd

16-bit equal
D0aaaaaa 0000dddd = 0Aaaaaaa 0000dddd

16-bit not equal
D0aaaaaa 0010dddd = 0Aaaaaaa 0010dddd

16-bit less than
D0aaaaaa 0020dddd = 0Aaaaaaa 0020dddd

16-bit greater than
D0aaaaaa 0030dddd = 0Aaaaaaa 0030dddd

MasterCommand
F0aaaaaa bbbbbbbb = C4aaaaaa bbbbbbbb

Note 3: Because it, using the option, Auto Identifier, is generated, the first line of a code - or code verifier - is always different (even if again encrypting the exact code). For example, if following the above steps, using its examples, your code verifier might be YJDE-UPEM-ANE4Q, C8FK-1U5Q-1J52R, etc., rather than QYBU-1RTD-RAPW7.

Encrypting a NTSC Code into a NTSC Code: Advanced

Step 1: To begin, download MAXcrypt 1.41[/u][/url] (40 KB)

Step 2: Open MAXcrypt. Near the bottom-left, uncheck Auto Identifier.

Step 3: In Input, enter the code verifier, 02569500 00800000. (Note 1)

Step 4: Using the code, Infinite Weapons under the Ring, as an example, enter 20527A00 00000000 under the code verifier. (Note 2)

Step 5: Replace the 20 in 20527A00 00000000 with 04. If done correctly, the code should now be 04527A00 00000000. (Note 3)

Step 6: Finally, to convert -

02569500 00800000
04527A00 00000000

- to AR MAX (NTSC), select Encrypt. If done correctly, the code should finally be:

AEVK-BJ95-2T3TV
2PZG-WNZW-QA440

Note 1: A code verifier is required for a code, to distinguish it from another. Without the option, Auto Identifier, checked, you must enter your own code verifiers. Too, understand that a different code requires a different code verifier, following one another in chronological order. For example, the following code to be encrypted after -

02569500 00800000
04527A00 00000000

- would use the code verifier, 02569500 10800000. The following code to be encrypted after this would use the code verifier, 02569500 20800000. This continues until the code verifier, 02569500 F0800000; thereafter, the verifier is 02569501 00800000.

Finally, understand that a code verifier, not multiple code verifiers, is only required for a code with multiple lines.

Note 2: In Input, ONLY use Hex (NTSC) codes.

Note 3: Except for an 8-bit constant write, Action Replay MAX reads address commands differently than the other cheat-devices. Thus far, 8-bit constant write, 16-bit constant write, 32-bit constant write, 16-bit equal, 16-bit not equal, 16-bit less than, 16-bit greater than & MasterCommand are all the known commands:

8-bit constant write
00aaaaaa 000000dd = 00aaaaaa 000000dd

16-bit constant write
10aaaaaa 0000dddd = 02aaaaaa 0000dddd

32-bit constant write
20aaaaaa dddddddd = 04aaaaaa dddddddd

16-bit equal
D0aaaaaa 0000dddd = 0Aaaaaaa 0000dddd

16-bit not equal
D0aaaaaa 0010dddd = 0Aaaaaaa 0010dddd

16-bit less than
D0aaaaaa 0020dddd = 0Aaaaaaa 0020dddd

16-bit greater than
D0aaaaaa 0030dddd = 0Aaaaaaa 0030dddd

MasterCommand
F0aaaaaa bbbbbbbb = C4aaaaaa bbbbbbbb


Encrypting a PAL Code into a PAL Code: Advanced

Step 1: To begin, download MAXcrypt 1.41[/u][/url] (35 KB)

Step 2: Open MAXcrypt. Near the bottom-left, uncheck Game ID.

Step 3: In Input, enter the code verifier, 025B9500 01800000. (Note 1)

Step 4: Using the code, Infinite Weapons under the Ring, as an example, enter 20527700 00000000 Under the code verifier. (Note 2)

Step 5: Replace the 20 in 20527700 00000000 with 04. If done correctly, the code should now be 04527700 00000000. (Note 3)

Step 6: Finally, to convert -

025B9500 01800000
04527700 00000000

- to AR MAX (NTSC), select "Encrypt." If done correctly, the code should finally be:

T53E-7B71-W1639
H6Y7-WME0-THKA4

Note 1: A code verifier is required for a code, to distinguish it from another. Without the option, Auto Identifier, checked, you must enter your own code verifiers.

- would use the code verifier, 025B9500 11800000. The following code to be encrypted after this would use the code verifier, 025B9500 21800000. This continues until the code verifier, 025B9500 F1800000; thereafter, the code verifier is 025B9501 01800000.

Finally, understand that a code verifier, not multiple code verifiers, is only required for a code with multiple lines.

Note 2: When encrypting, use Hex (PAL) codes only.

Action Replay 2 Version 2 (NTSC & PAL), CodeBreaker 2, GameShark 2 Versions 2 - 4 (NTSC & PAL) & Xploder

Quick Notes:

-Action Replay 2 version 2.x (NTSC) & GameShark 2 version 2.x (NTSC) use identical codes.
-Action Replay 2 version 2.x (PAL) & GameShark 2 version 2.x (PAL) use identical codes.
-CodeBreaker 2 versions 1 - 8 & GameShark 2 versions 3.x & 4.x (NTSC) are able to use Hex (NTSC) codes. Encrypting codes to CB2 format for a CB2 cheat-device or GSv3 for a GS2v3/v4 (NTSC) cheat-device is NOT required.
-GameShark 2 versions 3.x & 4.x (PAL) & Xploder versions 1.x - 4.x are able to use Hex (PAL) codes. Encrypting codes to GSv3 format for a GS2v3/v4 (PAL) cheat-device or CB2 for an Xploder cheat-device is NOT required.

NTSC = Asia & North America
PAL = Australia & Europe


Converting a NTSC Code into a NTSC Code

Step 1: To begin, go to the Offical Code Converter Site[/u][/url]

Step 2: Once there, near the middle of the page, there is a box described as "AR2 Encryption" with the encryptions values: 1456E7A5, BCA99B83, F8FCFEFE & Custom. Select "BCA99B83."

Step 3: Now, near the top, there are a selection of cheat-devices - AR2 (and GS2v2 or earlier), CB2 & GSv3 - & Hex. Select "AR2 (and GS2v2 or earlier)," for you will be using an AR2v2 (NTSC) & GS2v2 (NTSC) code with which to begin. (If you were going to convert a CB2 or a GS2v3/v4 [NTSC] code, you would instead have selected "CB2" for a CB2 code or "GSv3" for a GS2v3/v4 [NTSC] code with which to begin the converting process.)

Step 4: In "Code," enter the AR2v2 (NTSC) & GS2v2 (NTSC) code, FEB3925E BCA99B83.

Step 5: Finally, to convert FEB3925E BCA99B83 (AR2/GS2v2 [NTSC]) to CB2, select "CB2." Too, to convert FEB3925E BCA99B83 (AR2/GS2v2 [NTSC]) to GS2v3/v4 (NTSC), select "GSv3." If done correctly, the CB2 code should finally be 0A835D61 00000000, & the GS2v3/v4 (MTSC) code should finally be 04D03568 3470C308.

This is simple code converting. As was said before in Step 3, if you were using a CB2 or a GS2v3/v4 (NTSC) code to convert to AR2v2 (NTSC) & GS2v2 (NTSC), you would have begun by selecting "CB2" for a CB2 code or "GSv3" for a GS2v3/v4 (NTSC) code. The same applies to converting PAL code into PAL code. Let's also walkthrough this process, even though there is no real difference as the above steps.


Converting a PAL Code into a PAL Code

Step 1: Again, be sure to be at the Offical Code Converter Site[/u][/url]

Step 2: In it, near the middle of the page, there is a box described as "AR2 Encryption" with the encryptions values: 1456E7A5, BCA99B83, F8FCFEFE & Custom. Select "BCA99B83."

Step 3: Now, near the top, there are a selection of cheat-devices - AR2 (and GS2v2 or earlier), CB2 & GSv3 - & Hex. Select "AR2 (and GS2v2 or earlier)," for you will be using an AR2v2 (PAL) & GS2v2 (PAL) code with which to begin. (If you were going to convert an Xploder or GS2v3/v4 [PAL] code, you would instead have selected "CB2" for an Xploder code or "GSv3" for a GS2v3/v4 [PAL] code with which to begin the converting process.)

Step 4: In "Code," enter the AR2v2 (PAL) & GS2v2 (PAL) code, FEB39D5E BCA99B83.

Step 5: Finally, to convert FEB39D5E BCA99B83 (AR2/GS2v2 [PAL]) to Xploder, select "CB2." Too, to convert FEB39D5E BCA99B83 (AR2/GS2v2 [PAL]) to GS2v3/v4 (PAL), select "GSv3." If done correctly, the Xploder code should finally be 0A835D6C 00000000, & the GS2v3/v4 (PAL) code should finally be 04903568 3470C108.

Easy, wasn't it. As was said before in Step 3, if you were using an Xploder or a GS2v3/v4 (PAL) code to convert to AR2v2 (PAL) & GS2v2 (PAL), you would have begun by selecting "CB2" for an Xploder code or "GSv3" for a GS2v3/v4 (PAL) code. Now for converting NTSC code into PAL code.

Select "AR2 (and GS2v2 or earlier)," for you will be using an AR2v2 (NTSC) & GS2v2 (NTSC) code with which to begin. (If you were going to convert a CB2 or GS2v3/v4 [NTSC] code, you would instead have selected "CB2" for a CB2 code or "GSv3" for a GS2v3/v4 [NTSC] code with which to begin the converting process.)

Step 4: In "Code," enter the AR2v2 (NTSC) & GS2v2 (NTSC) code, FEB3925E BCA99B83.

Step 5: Next, from the selection of cheat-devices - AR2 (and GS2v2 or earlier), CB2 & GSv3 - & Hex, select "Hex." (The code should now be 004B6460 00000000.)

Step 6: Thereafter, in the box below "Code" that is described as "Hex Offset, clear any data that might be present in it, such as 00000000 00000000, & enter 00000300.

Step 7: With 00000300 entered, click on the button below "Hex Offset" that is described as "Sub Offset." (Once done, the code should now be 004B6160 00000000.)

Step 8: Finally, to convert 004B6160 00000000 (Hex) to AR2v2 (PAL) & GS2v2 (PAL), select "AR2 (and GS2v2 or earlier)." Too, to convert 004B6160 00000000 (Hex) to GS2v3/v4 (PAL), select "GSv3," & select "CB2" to convert 004B6160 00000000 (Hex) to Xploder. If done correctly, the code for AR2v2 (PAL) & GS2v2 (PAL) should finally be FEB39D5E BCA99B83; 04903568 3470C108 should finally be the code for GS2v3/v4 (PAL) code; & 0A835D6C 00000000 should finally be the code for Xploder.

This is basically how most all NTSC codes are converted to PAL for HCTP, simply subtracting 00000300 from a NTSC code when in Hex, then converted to "AR2 (and GS2v2 or earlier)" for an AR2v2 (PAL) & GS2v2 (PAL) code, "GSv3" for a GS2v3/v4 (PAL) code or "CB2" for an Xploder code. The same process is used when converting a PAL code into a NTSC code. The only difference is that the 00000300 is added to a PAL code when in Hex, then converted to "AR2 (and GS2v2 or earlier)" for an AR2v2 (NTSC) & GS2v2 (NTSC) code, "CB2" for a CB2 code or "GSv3" for a GS2v3/v4 (NTSC) code. As was said before, converting PAL codes into NTSC codes is the same as converting NTSC codes into PAL codes, except for the addition (rather than subtraction) of the hex offset, 00000300. To finish, let's walkthrough converting a PAL code to a NTSC code.


Converting a PAL Code into a NTSC Code

Step 1: Go to the Offical Code Converter Site[/u][/url]

Step 2: Near the middle of the page, there is a box described as "AR2 Encryption" with the encryptions values: 1456E7A5, BCA99B83, F8FCFEFE & Custom. Select "BCA99B83."

Step 3: Now, near the top, there are a selection of cheat-devices - AR2 (and GS2v2 or earlier), CB2 & GSv3 - & Hex. Select "AR2 (and GS2v2 or earlier)," for you will be using an AR2v2 (PAL) & GS2v2 (PAL) code with which to begin. (If you were going to convert a GS2v3/v4 [PAL] code or an Xploder code, you would instead have selected "GSv3" for a GS2v3/v4 [PAL] code or "CB2" for an Xploder code with which to begin the converting process.)

Step 4: In "Code," enter the AR2v2 (PAL) & GS2v2 (PAL) code, FEB39D5E BCA99B83.

Step 5: Next, from the selection of cheat-devices - AR2 (and GS2v2 or earlier), CB2 & GSv3 - & Hex, select "Hex." (The code should now be 004B6160 00000000.)

Step 6: Thereafter, in the box below "Code" that is described as "Hex Offset, clear any data that might be present in it, such as 00000000 00000000, & enter 00000300.

Step 7: With 00000300 entered, click on the button below "Hex Offset" that is described as "Add Offset." (Once done, the code should now be 004B6460 00000000.)

Step 8: Finally, to convert 004B6460 00000000 (Hex) to AR2v2 (NTSC) & GS2v2 (NTSC), select "AR2 (and GS2v2 or earlier)." Too, to convert 004B6460 00000000 (Hex) to CB2, select "CB2," & select "GSv3" to convert 004B6460 00000000 (Hex) to GS2v3/v4 (NTSC). If done correctly, the code for AR2v2 (NTSC) & GS2v2 (NTSC) should finally be FEB3925E BCA99B83; 0A835D61 00000000 should finally be the code for CB2; & 04D03568 3470C308 should finally be the code for GS2v3/v4 (NTSC).

This is basically how most all PAL codes are converted to NTSC for HCTP, simply adding 00000300 to a NTSC code when in Hex, then converted to "AR2 (and GS2v2 or earlier)" for an AR2v2 (NTSC) & GS2v2 (NTSC) code, "CB2" for a CB2 code or "GSv3" for a GS2v3/v4 (NTSC) code. As was said before, the same process is used when converting a PAL code into a NTSC code. The only difference is that the 00000300 is added to a PAL code when in Hex, then converted to "AR2 (and GS2v2 or earlier)" for an AR2v2 (PAL) & GS2v2 (PAL) code, "GSv3" for a GS2v3/v4 (PAL) code or "CB2" for an Xploder code. Too, as was said before, converting NTSC codes into PAL codes is the same as converting PAL codes into NTSC codes, except for the subtraction (rather than addition) of the hex offset, 00000300.

That's it. If you can learn this, then you have learned the basics to code converting.
