[By Bloodyjab]

*This is the Manual way to enter codes and use AR, without using internet.

1. Purchase an “Action Replay MAX”. This is available at most gaming and electronics stores, or on online websites such as Amazon. One such link is provided here and here.

2. Insert the PS2 ARMAX disc into the Playstation 2.

3. After you insert the disc you should see the screen below. Select the first option, Expert Mode. Do not select Quick Mode.

4. The game list will load. Search for Kingdom Hearts 2. If it's not there add it yourself.

5. After the game is in the list, add the Master Code. [Note: Please email Monkey if you have the European Mastercode].

Note:Sometimes when you enter the codes, you may recieve an error message. Double check the code and make sure that it’s exactly correct.

You might also recieve a “wrong game” error message. The problem may be that the code your using is for the wrong game, wrong Master Code, or wrong Region. Make sure to double check.

7. Select the codes that you want to use in your code list. It should look somewhat like the list below.

8. When all of the codes that you want are selected/highlighted, press start and select “Start Game with Codes”. Swap the PS2 ARMAX disc for your game.
