help with AR max backup pleazee

[smokes]

First i would like to say that this forum is fantastic.
OK now to my first question i'm new to the PS2 world and i have to admit that i love it he he.
My PS2 as a modchip that allows me to play backups both PAL and NTSC but i dont know how to check what is the chip can any of u help me?
Now the second question:
I recently got AR MAX and i have no problem making a backup of the original CD, the problem is that i would like to update the CD with the new codes but everytime i do that the backup cd does not work, i tryed the Addzer0 with frontend but i have to admit that it does not work for me, it just sits there and creates a new image with 0 size.
I use magic iso to delete the old code list and insert the new one.
I used ISO buster to check the LBA for the system file and it says that the system.cnf changed to lba 80185 and the image size decreased from 647Mb to 200MB
Can anyone help me pleaseeeeeeeeee i realy need help, i know i'm a stupid newbie but we all have to start at one stage.
Thanks
Maybe there is another way of doing this?
Can anyone please help me??? I realy dont know what to do anymore

yes i know the problem is that i have no access to the internet with my PS2 that is why im trying to update the codes via CD.
I know there is a cable that allows me to connect my pc to the PS2 but i would perfer not to spend any more money u see?

thanks

Why not just type the codes in? When I had my AR MAX I used my freakin' controller :P. You're gonna get what you pay for... get a keyboard or a PC/internet hookup for your PS2 and it'll be a lot less of a pain in the ass.
