Max Drive, Game Save and making video files thread.

oldphart · Feb 24, 2006

I remember reading somewhere that some of the units won't read the "blue" disk unless it's in the vertical position. You might give that a try.

oldphart · Feb 24, 2006

now a newbie ? myself...

I've transfered the files onto the stick... max
but I haven't figured out how to attach them here.
I can attach them to a regular e-mail, it just won't take here.

any help ?

thanks
J.R.

I dont have the slim ps2, Mine is one of the original run.. The max drive disk isnt blue (but it might be Cd format).. and Its a us spec Max drive and us spec ps2.. I got it to work once, but i havent been able to since (10+tries)..

JR, ive never tried it (for obvious reasons), but are the files bigger than 100k? I dont think GTP can take files bigger than that..

~Sp33~ · Feb 25, 2006

Im pretty sure they have to be zipped (.zip) format to host them here. As for not being able to read the disc... Muh Playstation is sooo lacklustre with its reading ability im sure i could do a better job with a microscope :/

When i put the disc in it takes ATLEAST ~15+ goes to get anything working.. how sad. I hope the next ps is a bit more reliable.

did you buy it?
the one i have is blue, and the one my friend has is also blue.
(yes it is CD format)
if you made a burn of somone elses, it will not work without a mod-chip.

if its a legit disc, the only thing i can recomend is trying it in someone elses ps2... if it works: clean / adjust your laser
if it doesn't, return it to the store you got it from

right above the "manage attachments button"
you'll notice it says "Valid file extensions: bmp doc gif jpe jpeg jpg max pdf png psd sps txt xps zip"

so yes, you can just attach .max files

yeah, its legit. bought it from playasia.com last week..

Is there anything i can do inside the ps to get it to read correctly (i.e. cleaning the lens manually or cleaning the inside of the system?)

Tedehur · Feb 25, 2006

I used to have problems to read the X-port disc on my old PS2, but I never had the problem with the Max Drive CD on the new slim PS2. There is somewhere on GTP some explanations about how to clean the lens.

bbq0801 · Feb 28, 2006

OK, i got it
I actually found that, for some reason vacuuming out the screens in the front and back of PS2 caused my rate of sucess with the max drive CD to double, so now it works every 3-5 times i try, insead of 10-15..

NOW, is there any way to name files that will allow them to show up as anything other than "Practice [1], Practice [2] etc. its a pain in the ass to try to determine which replay files on my mem cards are the ones im looking for.

here is an attach, NTSC lemme know if it works! Should be RUF CTR2 @ nurburgring on N2 tires, so dont accuse me of just being a terrible driver (although its true)

View attachment Ruf CTR2 @ nurb bbq0801.max

THANKS!

Tedehur · Mar 1, 2006

There's no way to rename them on the memcard.
Thanks PD :mad:

~Sp33~ · Mar 1, 2006

lol. I put them on muh flash drive and rename them on my computer then put them back on my memory card. Coz that way it looks like i have some kind of order going on.

bbq0801 · Mar 1, 2006

ya SP, thats what i tried doing, but since the size changes when you put them on the max drive, it seems like a pain sense you can really only do 2 or 3 at once..

It looks like your method is the way to go, but man, I wish Sony/PD had thought of it.

Jake · Mar 8, 2006

this question has probably been asked before but searching somtimes takes much longer than just asking...

Is there a way to rename the files on the maxdrive so it shows up on PS2? It seems that renaming them on the PC and transfering back to the game does not change this.

Tedehur · Mar 8, 2006

No, there is no way to rename the file.
Until someone finds a decryption method to read what's in the replay file, but this is not likely to ever happen.

GT Pro · Mar 18, 2006

Here's a stupid question, which has probably been asked a million times, yet im starting to get pi**ed off.

Where can I buy a "MAX Replay" Drive; paying by post/money order.

Checked Ebay.com.au and they only do paypal plus they're not authentic MAX Replay brand .

Tedehur · Mar 18, 2006

I bought mine on Play.com (uk), and there's an equivalent named Play-asia.com or something like that.

MisterWeary · Mar 18, 2006

I got mine from DVDCrave.com. It's an Australian site too and they deliver pretty quick 👍

GT Pro · Mar 19, 2006

Thanks heaps Flat-Out, same to you MisterWeary, but I've just ordered mine from Play-Asia:tup:

Finally, I can start trying at the WRS, instead always backing it off so I dont have to show my replays, hehehe...

MisterWeary · Mar 19, 2006

talk it up Pro...I for one would love to see another alien driver in the ranks but I doubt you'll be Team-H-worthy...but more than happy for you to prove me wrong :sly:

GT Pro · Mar 19, 2006

Lol, I irrefutably shall:tup: And I will be looking forward to it

Good Luck!👍

holl01 · Mar 19, 2006

um, if u beat me, i swear, i will send u 500 dollars, i swear to god...honestly

MisterWeary · Mar 19, 2006

Okay Pro, if it's so "irrefutable" why is it you haven't finished the game yet? If you can't beat mission 34, you can't ever come close to a player like holl01? Heck...even I beat mission 34 with ease!

Same with GT3, I beat it before I started WRS way back when I was an auto driver with zero understanding of the physics behind the game?!?

And another thing while I'm in rant mode:

"In 2015, Russia will strike by means of a nuclear war, though I cannot tell you why..."

What sort of a message is that to have in your signature? It makes no sense...are you claiming some kind of prophetic power and expecting people to believe you on blind faith or (and in my opinion the more likely scenario...) you're an attention seeker that hasn't had to carry the burden of an over abundance of education.

Anyway I for one really do hope you prove me wrong, I love watching super fast laps and if you can add to the collection of super fast drivers we have here at GTPlanet then more power to you. But I suspect (as I'm sure most do) we'll not be humbled by your GT4 skillz!

GT Pro · Mar 20, 2006

Yes, you are right but as for Mission 34:

No, I haven't finished it yet, simply because i've yet to get used to the SLR.

Yes, I actually never 'confirmed' (I still barely know what 'irrefutably' means) that I could beat any of you, I simply was having a bit of fun, why take it as a head-on challenge?

No, im not the greatest driver out there, although i didn't say I was.

And that Quote in my Signature was simply a internet saying that was going around a few several months ago so I added it for the sake of it.👍

But if you are having queries about the statement I will remove it for your sake.
I wish not to go on with this pointless dispute as It was a joke, I was not being 100% serious. As for racing I really don't think i'm that good, but i'll try my best anyway :indiff:

I still havn't done that stupid mission yet!

EDIT: One more word of advice. Maybe in future you should learn what words mean before using them in sentences :lol:

. Ok, time to get off the poor guys back now, we'll settle this on the track 👍

MisterWeary · Mar 20, 2006

Like I said, it would be awesome if you were another alien driver, watching holl01's laps just blows my mind and another in the ranks would be awesome...whatever the case, welcome aboard and I look forward to racing with ya 👍

You came into the WRS talking yourself up.

Then you said you wanted to start your account over, and that you'd said things you'd regretted etc. etc.

Then you started talking yourself up again. :confused:

Now you're (semi) retracting it and trying to justify yourself again. :rolleyes:

I think the best thing to do in the WRS is let your times do the talking. Then you'll get the attention you deserve, and not attract wanted or unwanted attention to yourself for no reason.

I hope (for your sake) you can 'pick up your game' from this point on and become a positive, contributing member to the WRS.

Good luck. 👍

Also, in an effort to keep on topic: I won my internet auction earlier, and my Max Drive should be arriving in the next few days. 👍

Interesting....💡

Casio · Mar 20, 2006

By 500 big ones, he probably means 500 horseheads. Or 500 pieces of paper with the words 'big ones' on it. Or 500 copies of the Aerosmith album titled 'Big ones'...

Small_Fryz · Mar 20, 2006

Dan, if I beat you in any Combo in GT4 you will give me $500 AUD?
