Action Replay Max with Magic 3.1

Guys, I've got a v4 with Magic3.1 chip.
It works fine with GameShark. So i've decided to give Action Replay Max a shot.

Till now, I have no luck loading backup DVDs.
Original seems to load flawlessly.

Is there any special steps required ?
For eg:- I tried loading Need for Speed: Underground. No luck.

Here's what I did.
Went to Expert Mode.
Select Need for Speed: Underground.
Then there is an option that says, Start with Code.
Insert my game, and Nothing happens after I press X.

So I just want to to if there is any others out there with a Magic3.1 on a v4 chip, having problems loading with AR2 Max.
Otherwise, i think it may be my laser.

I have ar and armax and a ps2v7 with magic 3.1. I could never use any version ar to load codes with a backup. Only Original games. Backup would freeze or black screen. I now have a ps2v7 and ps2v9 with dms3 with flash 1.8 that can load all codes with all media orig. and/or backups. I will be upgrading the last magic 3.1 because of this and I have 150 psone imports that don't work with magic 3.1 either.

I can confirmed my findings.

AR2 Max does indeed work with Magic 3.1.
Worth the $$ getting AR2 Max. Highly recommended.
But the downside of it is, you can't just get update of 1 game.
You would have to grab the entire updates from the server.

Unless, someone here knows how to get just updates for a specific game online.

uhhh, 150 psone imports that wont work with a magic 3.1? are you sure you're booting it in ps1 mode?

and codes work with backups just fine, they hadly ever work with rips.

Hmm, I didn't say anything about Ps1 games. I'm just refererring to Ps2 games working along with AR2 Max with Magic 3.1 on a v4.
Anywayz, for those with a magic 3.1 who wishes to get the AR2 Max, go for it. It works.

one sentence was in response to the guy discussing his 150 psone imports(DUH).

the other sentence was in response to anyone claiming that a heat disc wont load a game with codes with a magic 3.1(DUH).

why do you think the sentences were separated? and did it ever occur to you, that since maybe you didnt say anything about 150 psone imports, that maybe that like was intended for someone else?

I shit u not. I have 1 ps2v7 w/magic 3.1 left and I just had my son load up tony hawk proskater 2 and then the ps1 import no authentication. ar and armax sometimes will load 1 to 3 codes in gta vc on magic 3.1 and now 72 codes in either ps2v7 or ps2v9 with dms3's with firmware 1.8. Firmware 1.6 armax don't work. My daughter wants me to upgrade her ps2v7w/dms3v2 now for the codes. She don't care abnout the deus ex, max payne and splitter cell rsod after saving. I don't rip nothing so dopn't know about that. DMS3 is loading everything I have.

Someone make a image of AR MAX to me please because is the only way to run other DVD regions in my V9 and V10.!!!

Please !!!! Thank´s !!!!!!
