| Tip | Why It Helps | |-----|--------------| | for Action Replay MAX (v1.1 or later). | Later firmware adds better PAL timing support and a more robust USB import system. | | Verify region codes with a tool like PS2 ISO Dumper before loading cheats. | Prevents mismatched region issues that cause crashes. | | Avoid “speed hacks” on PAL titles unless the cheat is explicitly marked “PAL”. | PAL games run at 50 Hz; speed hacks calibrated for 60 Hz will desync physics. | | Keep a clean cheat list – disable cheats you’re not using. | Reduces memory‑card load and minimizes the chance of conflicts. | | Back up your Action Replay memory‑card after adding a large batch of codes. | If the card fails, you won’t lose hundreds of cheat entries. | | Combine with save‑game editors (e.g., SaveWizard for PS2) for permanent stat changes. | Some cheats are “one‑time” only; editing saves can make changes persistent. |
