cheats get you no where a waist of mony they are and pointless if you cant do the game or handle that a certain character isnt on why resort to cheats

I don't need to cheat. Ask DRS540, IndridCold99, South Elite, CyanoticSnipe, GUNZ 57, and others.
Thanks for replying, but read my two points over and you'll see that my interest is in ehancing my OFFLINE gameplay of MKD and MKSM. Through these forums i've found that all of the characters from MKDA are locked within the MKD game. I saw a video of a fight in the Slaughterhouse arena between two Kitana's and a video on YouTube of Onaga fighting Drahmin. In the MKSM forum i've read that it's awesome to play as Kintaro, and i've seen videos of the game played as Kitana and Goro.
My concern is being banned from XBox Live simply for using an ActionReplayMax on my system for my own enjoyment. And yes, i know all of the characters are going to be on MKA, but they're going to be different and i would like to play them on Deception. I'm looking for advice from experienced users as to whether or not they have problems with the device.
Besides: Who would be stupid enough to announce to the world the use of a cheat device! Cheaters don't TALK about it, THAT'S why they're CHEATERS!

so far i can find the MKDA charcters for the xbox. only for the ps2 last time i remember.

Are you saying that you have PLAYED the MKDA characters on your MKD game, but only for the PS2?
At this point, looks like i may be switching to PS only for game play since i prefer the controller over all and the online community is more active than XBox (which sucks 'cause i have TWO live accounts now), so if they're only on the PS2, then that would be cool.

I've decided against the ARMax. Thanks to JFCalibur88 for answering my questions in depth.

You WILL get banned on Xbox live for having ARmax on.
You won't on the PS2.
The only bad thing about it is if you try to play online with any of the MKDA characters the other player wont see him/her but will only see scorpion. and result in combos not acting right because they are seeing scorpion.
If both players have AR on then its fine. Overall, i don't use my AR much anymore, it was fun to mess with people playing s monster online but meh.

Peace.
