How to Make an Action Replay Max Drive

An Action Replay Max device is allows you to put saved data taken off the computer onto the operating system of the Xbox. This allows for game cheats and modifications of games that otherwise wouldn&'t be possible. An Action Replay Max consists of both hardware and software, and it is possible to get the software and make the hardware for less than the cost of a fast-food meal. Using the Action Replay Max will not damage the Xbox in any way.
