AR Max Save Download and CAW Transfer FAQ.(Detail)

[d0de]

Detailed help for those with AR Max Drive.

1) download the save file you want and make sure you can find it. While you are on the internet you need to make sure you know exactly wich CAW you want. Lets use the wcw/nwo save for example. Wolf and Zurick have pictures posted so we use that to determine wich version(s) that we want. They are posted in the same order that they reside on the Save File. Ex I wanted the 1st Scott Hall, the 2nd Kevin Nash, the 2nd Goldberg and the 7th DDP. Making a note of this now will save you time on searching around in the game for wich one you want. Write it down if you have to.

2) plug in the usb stick to your computer than open up that drive(drive D, F, G for ex)

3) Find your file than click and drag over to the window for the usb drive. Thats all you need to do to that file.
Your done with the computer now remove you usb stick and go to your PS2

4) Its good to have 2 memory cards one that is your main save with all your stuff in slot 1. One that you can erase as needed in slot 2. And your usb stick with the downloaded info in the usb port. make sure they are in place and then load up the AR Max disc on your PS2

5) Go to Memory Management and choose Memory Card 2 at the choose primary device screen and open. Start here to make Sure that Memory Card 2 has no SvsR2006 save file. if it does delete it. If its a file you want to keep well you will have to move it elsewhere

6) Now return to the choose primary device screen and choose the usb stick. You should see a file marked SvsR2006 with a crazy symbol next to it. That means this file is a crushed version of it. Select it so that the check mark appears next to it then go to the right and move down to the Uncrush option and select Uncrush to Memory Card 2. Let it do its thing and then i like to check out Memory Card 2 again to make sure everything went fine. If you see SvR 2006 on Memory Card 2 without that symbol next to it than your good to go.

7) Now load up SvsR 2006 for PS2 either through the AR Max or just turn off your PS2. This is where you put the game in.

8) Go to Options, Save/Load, Copy a created superstar. It will ask you wich Memory Card to load data from. In this case it would be Memory Card 2 (where the downloaded save is now residing and the CAWs you want are) Dont freak out it wont erease over the data from Memory Card 1.

9) Now you will get a list of the CAWs on Card 2. Select which one you want to copy. The list of CAWs that are on Card 1 will now appear. It will say console on the top of the screen, ignore it everything is fine dont worry. Find a blank slot, it will say no data and put the CAW there. This is why you need to be sure wich version of a CAW you want because you cant see wich version you are moving. You can move as many CAWs as you want at this time.

10) When you have the CAWs that you want hit the back button.You will be asked what Card you want to save the data to.Choose Memory Card 1 and save the data. You will now have All your CAW and other data plus the CAW's you downloaded.

Think of it like Air Travel. The CAW's go to the airport (your computer) and board a plane (usb stick) they fly into another airport (PS2 AR Max) and change planes (Memory Card 2) from there they take a short flight
and land at the last airport (Console Data) where they get picked up by relatives (Memory Card 1)

Long post but I hope this helps.

hey it dont work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried it I did every thing you said I followed everything and why isnt it working. I did it I went to slot 2 and it said no data how does it work.

Theres a couple things you could have done wrong. Most likely you didnt choose uncrush to memory card 2 or you didnt put a check mark on the file you wanted moved. If your Mem Card 2 is blank and you know its blank read over section 6 again. The uncrush option is in the right column and looks like a little jewlery box opened up. move to that option and then select memory card 2. the top of the screen will tell you uncrush to memory card 2. You also may have downloaded the wrong file (Pal or NTSC). I dont know if that makes a differance but I think they have differant extensions and therefore a NTSC AR Max wont read a Pal save. Im not sure on that maybe someone can answer that question.

how come when i load the game, the game wont detect the save? it says no save profile detected.

[sourpuss]

I have 1 memory card at the moment, I copied my save file onto the pc so i would have it as a backup. But I cant seem to transfer it back onto my primary memory card without it not recognising the profile.
Can anyone help?

Try deleting the SvsR 2k6 save on your Memory Card. Then go to memory manager in AR Max and make sure to choose Uncrush to Memory Card 1. If its not Uncrushed it wont read it. When backing up your save from Card to USB stick it will automaticaly Crush the file. So you need to Uncrush it when you move it back. Thats the only thing I can think of as the problem. Or that there are two saves on the same card.
