I am trying to boot backups of ps2 backup games with my gameshark2 version 2.3 on a playstation v7 using the swip card method. i did this method.
PS2 without modchip, Using GS/AR/Swap Magic with Swipe/Slide Card or Flip Top, PS2 DVD backup booting

1. Have AR/GS dongle in a memory card slot (if needed by your disc)
2. Power on your PS2
3. Insert AR/GS/SM* disc, press Reset
4. At the AR2/GS2 menu, press EJECT
5. Swap AR/GS disc for an Original-TOC-DVD* and wait 10 seconds
6. Select "AR/GS Codes"
7. Highlight "Add new code" and press X to get to the next screen
8. Press X three times. You will see "Updating code list please wait" each time)
9. Press "Start" on controller
10. Select "Without codes", press X
11. Press X again, you will see "Updating code list please wait"
12. You will hear Original DVD stop spinning
13. You will have about 10 seconds to do the following 2 steps
14. Immediately after disc stops spinning open Flip Top or use Swipe/Slide Card to open PS2 tray
15. Close Flip top or Use Swipe/Slide Card to close PS2 tray then press X
16. Screen will change and game will now boot

* Note - For Swap Magic just insert the DVD boot disc, press Reset and when "Insert Disc" is shown on screen use Swipe/Slide Card for swap and follow on screen directions.

* Note - "Original-TOC-DVD" is an original DVD that is a larger file size than the backup

* Note - For a shortcut make a few ?Add new codes?, or use any title you know you don?t need (you can always reset the dongle) and after step 6 just highlight one of the ?newly? added codes or unnecessary ones and press square to delete it, then proceed on with step 9.

*Important* You have to have the correct version of AR/GS in order to boot backups

When i put in the backup cd it will go to a black screen and not load any further, either that or the screen will go to please insert a playstation or playstion 2 game. if anyone can help plz reply.

do you need swapmagic to load backups w/ a flip top, or can you just use a gameshark disc?

what u r supposed to do is:

insert gs 2.3
let it load
select start game
cheats are off
swap for CD LOADER
insert high TOC DVD or CD (depending on which type of backup u r trying to boot)
If a high TOC CD the disk will stop spinning after a while and now u can make the swap for your backup CD game and press X on the controller to play the game.
If its a high TOC DVD, the disk will keep spinning and once the bottom left screen says PS2 DVD, Press X on the controller.
Then wait for the High TOC DVD to stop spinning and then make the swap for your DVD Backup and press X on the controller to start playing your backup.

ok, you load gameshark without cheats. Then use the slide card to eject the tray and swap for cd loader. Do you then push the tray back in and use the slide card to move the pin back to the left?
