DT Linder @ PSX Sports.com has always put out the best roster.

This is the PS2 roster for the Max Drive ONLY from DT Linder @ PSX Sports.

You can donate to DT Linder through Pay Pal. The roster are free but what will $5.00 hurt?

[b]Directions for the Max Drive

First of all, make sure you are using Datel's Max Drive, not Interacts Action Replay Max or you are using the wrong hardware to download rosters. They both have the word "Max" in their titles, but they are different and I don't support the AR Max.

First of all, plug the max drive usb memory card into your PC's usb port and drag the roster file into the max drive usb icon. The icon should appear when you double click on "My Computer" which displays your harddrive(s) and your cd-rom drive.

If you see a message saying that you cannot write the file to your memory card then you need to flip the tiny switch on the side of the usb memory card. You should see a lock and an unlock on the side.

Once you copy the files onto your usb memory card, transfer the memory card to your ps2 and plug it in the usb slot in the front. Load up the max drive cd on your ps2.

Once you load up the max drive program you should see the screen "my devices". You should see your sony memory card and your max drive memory card. Select the max drive memory card. Find the roster file that you want to transfer to your ps2 memory card and select to uncrush the file. After you uncrush the file, copy the file onto your other ps2 memory card and that's it!

XBox verison from DT Linder is not out yet, but here is one to get your fix until DT release his.

Quote:

[b]Directions for the XBox using Action Replay

You are going to begin by loading up the Action Replay software on your PC. Next, have your Action Replay memory card connected to your PC. Do not unzip the zipped roster files! Just drag the zipped roster file into the "memory card" section of the Action Replay program. You will see the copying bar and once it is completed, you are finished.

You should copy the roster files from your Action Replay memory card to your XBox hard drive. To do this just load up your XBox without a cd in it and select "memory". Then select the memory card in the display menu and scroll down through the games until you find the file of the game that you want to copy. Press right on the control pad to scroll from the game folder to the file itself and click "A" on the control pad. Then choose copy and you are done!

Unfortunately, there are a large number of corrupt Action Replay memory cards and you may receive a ??? or Corrupt File or Unable to Load Rosters error! This is mostly due to how some AR memory cards can not handle the size of a roster file. You can contact Datel's Tech Support (727) 431-0650 or email them at support@dateldesign.com. Sometimes buying a more reliable memory card (like from Microsoft) is the difference.

One more this is the X-Port/Shark-Port verison for PS2 also from DT Linder @ PSX Sports.com.

You can donate to DT Linder through Pay Pal. The roster are free but what will $5.00 hurt?

[b]Directions for X-Port/Shark-Port

I want everyone to know that the Sharkport and X-Port are the same thing, just different packaging!

You should also know that you can't use a Gameshark or an Action Replay to download ps2 roster files. The xbox Action Replay can download xbox rosters, but the ps2 Action Replay cannot download ps2 rosters. You can only use a Sharkport or an X-Port from Interact/Datel.

Unfortunately, X-Port and Sharkport discs do not run on all playstation 2 consoles! Newer ps2's will not recognize X-Port or Sharkport (blue back) discs and will say "Disc Read Error". You will need to make sure that your ps2 does not have a serial number beginning with "PX...". Your ps2 needs to have a serial number that begins with "PT...". The X-Port and Sharkport with not work on the new (thin) ps2. Ok, now that that's been explained...

Before you begin, make sure you are running on Sharkport 2.0 software! You can upgrade to Sharkport 2.0 by clicking here.

I suggest running the Sharkport 2.0 software even if you are using an X-Port disc in your ps2. Then, if you downloaded a file that is compressed (*.zip format), you need to unzip the files so that they are in *.sps format. To unzip the files, use WinZip. If you don't have WinZip, you can download it by clicking here.

You may also need the Xlink drivers. If you need to update your Xlink drivers you can download them by clicking here.

First of all, plug in your PS2 near your computer. You don't need to view what is happening on the PS2 so don't worry about your PS2 not being connected to your tv. Then connect your PS2 to your computer with the Sharkport/X-Port cable using the USB ports on your PS2 and computer. Then insert the PC disc into your computer and run the install or setup program. Next insert the PS2 disc into your PS2 and then hit reset so that it loads the disc.

Make sure you wait 15 to 20 seconds for the disc to load on your PS2 before you start the Sharkport 2 program on you PC!

Once installed and your PS2 has been running for 15 to 20 seconds, run the Sharkport2.exe program and you should be ready to begin.

To load the roster save onto your memory card, click on the PC Database at the bottom of the screen. Then under Actions, click Import Saves. Find the (*.sps) roster file you downloaded and click open. Under Games Found, you will now find a NCAA Roster New 01 section. The name might be different depending on the roster file. Place a check in the box! Then click restore!!!

You're finished!

Once completed. Plug your PS2 back into your tv and start up NCAA 2004 or March Madness 2004. The roster file should load up automatically. If not, at the main menu, load the rosters file manually. The rosters should then work fine!

If you see "usb error connecting to ps2", first try two things.

Try plugging your usb Sharkport/X-Port into both slots on the front of the PS2. If that doesn't work, press the reset button on your PS2 and make sure that your PS2 loads the disc (about 15 to 20 seconds) before you start the Sharkport2.exe program!

You should also check your computer's properties to see if you have any conflicts between your Sharkport/X-Port USB cable and another USB device (printer, scanner, mouse, keyboard, digital camera, etc).

If that doesn't work, your Sharkport/X-Port PS2 disc might be defective. You might want to take your Sharkport/X-Port back for a refund and mail me your memory card. To get around the error, you can also contact Interact's tech support. [support@gameshark.com]

There are several builds of the PS2 and Interact has a specific boot cd-rom for each build. What they'll need you to do is look on the back of your PS2 and give them the revision number (i.e. 1A). If you flip the PS2 around you can find this around where the copyright information is. There's a little box that says Date Code: (They apparently have builds for 1A - 1EE). They'll ship you the CD's for your version in about a week, but make sure you give them the right Rev number otherwise the CD's are worthless to you.

If you have a modded XBOX, you can simply FTP the roosters over. Just put them in the appropriate gamesave folder.

I was about to ask that.

Anyone have any experience with the FKRosters?
