is there a way to use an ORIGINAL copy of game shark to cheat on my backups and use swap magic to load the backup?

Jamaal said this about codebreaker, it shud also applt to gameshark.

It should work!

If the Codebreaker disc is an original, load it, then the Swap Magic disc and then the game.

If it's a burn, load SM, Codebreaker, SM and then the game.

My friend has 2.0 and it won't load my copy of God of War.

What's the media ID of the disc you're using?

91. Q. What is the Media ID of a DVD and how can I find it?
A.The Media ID of a DVD is the true measure of it's quality. It contains prerecorded info about the disc's manufacturer. The quality of the disc will vary depending on the media code. The media code isn't visible on the disc or the packaging. To check the media ID, Open DVD Decrypter, insert your disc, and check what it says under Media ID or Manufacturer ID. You can also use a program called DVD Identifier which is very useful. You can find it here: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_tools/dvd_id...
Last but not least you can use DVD Info Pro: http://www.dvdinfopro.com/
Compare the Media ID to this link: http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm

Most isn't all. Try whatever rebuilding methods you haven't used.

thanks, i tried patching and it worked out fine. The screen was a little out of place, but at least i could play it. Good lookin out.
New question...I downloaded the demo of PS2 game BLACK (NTSC). I used DVD Decryptor to burn the iso file, before it started it said that the image did not match the format of the DVD. I was using Phillips DVD-R and burning at 4x/ These disks worked fine for all the other games but this one didn't. Is it a bad download or what.

Don't argue with fools, because from a distance one cant tell who is who

Maybe. More likely it's the media. What's the Media ID of the those Phillips? Unfortunately Phillips outsources its media to CMC Mag, amongst others.

C'mon man, get some better media. If you look around the forums, that's the number one fix for boot failures. Check the PS2 FAQ link in my sig.

I just burned CD loader to a disc and did like said in this faq:
http://purogamer.com/cd_loader_v-faq.html

But when I insert an original DVD game (GTA3), it says "error validating disc"....

@Tokijin: I know the quality of the media is very important, but why is it then that only EA games don't work with these DVD's, but others work perfectly, without stutters or freezes?

Because that's how cheap media works. It won't fail with every game. I've burned 200+ (well over, stopped counting) to Yuden000T02/TYG02 with zero coasters.

86. Q. Where can I find good deals on legit Taiyo Yuden's and Verbatim's?
A. http://www.supermediastore.com
Great List of Merchants locally, online, in the U.K., etc:

Allright, I found out that GTA3 won't work with CD loader, so I tried with Vice City and now the EA games work!!
Except for the EA sports ones, they're a bit laggy en stuttery, but that's probably due to the quality of the discs.
But all the rest works perfect now! Thanks alot guys!!
