yeah, i know what you mean. so here it goes:
1. first when you pop the AR max Disc, adn it loads up, go to settings and change the boot mode form quick to expert mode.
2. once done get out of setting and when you get to expert mode got to "add new game".
3. type in the name of the game and then the master code.
4. type in all the codes that you want.
5. most important of all you have to have the right codes, depending on the counrty you live in and if you have the action replay that is either for the european console or the acmerican console. if you gp to codejunkies.com you should find them there.
also there is an easy way to update codes without having broadband and the USB flash drive. i used a CD-R to update my codes. if you want the steps for it just ask.
