dvd loader won't work for you. load cd loader with gameshark (select without codes, when it says insert game, swap for cd loader using the slide card or fliptop). Once it loads, you need to hit eject and insert a really big original ps2 game. let it read, then swap for your backup using a slide card or fliptop and hit x. You might not be able to load gta3 since the original game you put in must be bigger than the backup you are trying to load.

well i have devil may cry and i think it is bigger than the gta3. so i should select start without codes and before i press x for the last time i should slide card for the cd loader, then eject and put devil may cry, and then slide card for gta3 and press x. is that it?

yep, hit x after you insert devil may cry. it should come up with a screen that says insert backup with ea method or something like that.

NO, you use gameshark to load cd loader, THEN you insert dmc.

Newbs.... your doing it all wrong! At the menu choose start GAME, without CODES.. now use slidecard with cdloader and press X to BOOT cdloader.
Once cdloader has booted up PRESS eject and swap for DMC, let DMC load then press X. It will now say "SWAP USING EA METHOD", so use the slidecard to swap DMC for GTA3 and press X to PLAY. well, I hope you understand what you need to do now?

dude i cannot get the cd loader to work. I turned on the playstation and put in the gameshark. at the main menu i pressed start game, and then without codes. then i slide carded for the cd loader and pressed x to boot it. the ps2 read the loader, making very loud noises and then quieted, i ejected for dmc and when it went back in it was read but nothing else popped up. while all this happened nothing in the background changed. nothing about ea method showed up. am i doing something wrong?

If you load cd loader right it will run the program. Is a totally different program than gameshark, you will know if it boots. Maybe you didn't burn cd loader right, how did you do it?

i downloaded cd loader. I unzipped the file and used Alcohol 120 trial version to burn the .cue file. I made sure to follow the instructions on swapmagicfix.com is it because i used the trial version or what?
I did the same with cdloader seven. neither loaded but if they did the screen never changed.

In Alcohol the type should be set to PS2 and you should burn the cd at the lowest speed possible.
