Who has Action Replay and can upload videos on Youtube?

You don't have to have it on until you need it to be on, and you don't have to save, I suppose.

So how would it not mess up your PS2 or your Memory Card?

The games are read-only (meaning it is physically impossible for a piece of software to change it), so is your PS2 BIOS. Modchips change your BIOS though, but to install those you need to open up your PS2 and solder a few wires onto the mainboard. An Action Replay is just a CD/DVD and a device you insert into your memory card slot. It could mess up your memory card if you're really unlucky though, just disconnect them while you mess around and you're safe.

When I said an AR changes the memory areas the games use, I was talking about the RAM, not the memory cards.
Also note that an AR can only alter existing data, it cannot create new data. That means if the KH2 DVD doesn't have Tifa's original outfit stored somewhere, you can't make her wear it using AR. Just like in FF7, where you can get Sephy permanently on your team, that is only possible because a battle model of sephirot already exists (it was used for Clouds flashback).

Here it is, by the way. AR2 for PS2. The first version is for PS1.

Thanks... but where can I can find it?... and I still don't know how to video tape it or upload it... so please, can someone do it for me? I'd love it if someone did. You don't have to give Tifa her original FFVII outfit, but still, please?

Check your local GameStop, EB games, or any other electronics and or gaming specialized store (Best Buy ftw).

Okay... but I still don't know how to upload it onto Youtube. How do I video tape it?

If you haven't already figured out how to record it, then do so. Otherwise, the "memory card" should be able to go into one of the slots in your computer (not sure which one), if your computer is recent enough, or has the update for the hardware. From there, I guess it will give you instructions.

You could ask cl_out or Samuraid, since they are the best techies. They might know about this stuff.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just asked him, he doesn't cheat.

how is the memory card going to record gameplay:p

It's a "memory card." Notice the quotes. While it fits into the memory card slot, that's what actually makes the AR work, as indicated by the picutre.

Videotaping anything wouldn't help you, unless your PC has a VCR :p
And yeah, the Memory Card slot can be used for much more than just saving and loading games.

Well, does the AR card have a video-taping feature that I can use to transfer to the PC and the the Internet?

Either one of those two options should work. I don't know how else to help you from there.

AR, as far as I know (I've never used one) will not record any type of data onto your computer. You'll need something that will hook your ps2 into your computer and probably some software too. All together, this whole set up would be very expensive, so I think that SuperMillionare will be hard-pressed to find someone around here with an AR, a game recording system, enough knowledge of AR, and enough time to fiddle with it to help you out... that is unless you really are a Super Millionare.

I'm not... but I hope to be someday... I named myself after the game show with Regis Philbin.

That's the reason why I need someone else to do it for me! I don't have enough money right now... please?

You shouldn't use the term video-taping, because that implies the use of an actual analogue VHS video-tape, and there aren't any VHS drives for PCs, so you'd have no way of getting it transferred to your PC, which you would need to do in order to put it online.
What you need, is a video capture card to put in your PC, those cards cost about $50. Then you connect your PS2 directly to the PC. The yellow connector should go to your video capture card, and the white and red audio connectors would need a minijack (those plugs microphones and headphones use) adapter (these are relatively cheap, like $5 or something), so that you could plug them into your PCs microphone connector. Then you would need a program that can record the video and audio, and then save it in a digital format.
I hope that cleared things up.

What program would that be? I don't have Windows XP Media Center.
