Hello all,

I just recently got a "Gameshark 2 Version 1.1" I have went online, and read many walkthroughs in a swap method using the "Gameshark 2." Only one problem everytime I go through this step which is "Start Games" then it asks you to play with or without cheat codes I choose "Yes." There the walkthrough says to swap a tool to pull the white tab all the way to the right. While swapping with the tool the tray ejects itself. I was told the whole point was for the tray "NOT" to eject. Please I need help before I change my mind, and switch over to a Swap Magic, but I would love to keep what I have since I am not really a fan of buying stuff online. Thank you, and hope to get feedbacks as soon as possible.

You'd be better off buying Swap Magic along with a custom fliptop. The GameShark method is a bit hit & miss, and sticking stuff into the drive tray of your PS2 is only going to do it damage in the long run.

when you say it ejects, does the tray come all the way out, or does it just come out a little bit.

The eject button flashes, and ejects all the way.

hmmm, that doesn't sound right. Can you describe exactly what your doing with the slide card, and what the ps2 does?

I used this walkthrough to help me out. I am following everything on it...and for some reason the tray ejects before I even get to slide the card or during the card sliding.

Starting the game on your PS2

1) Now for the fun part (and challenging part the first couple of times) This may sound a little complicated at first, but after you do it 3 or 4 times, it's super easy. First things first, you must remove the front of your game drive on your PS2(not a big deal, it can snap on and off).

2) Now insert your gameshark 2 cd(make sure the gameshark memory card is in one of the 2 slots, doesn't matter which one.)

3) In the gameshark options, choose ?start game?, then ?without?. Your screen should read ?Please insert game disk then press X to continue.?

4) Now this part can be trickey for beginners, so I will provide pictures

-the main purpose of this starting method is to open up the PS2 and swap the gameshark disk with your burned game without the PS2 knowing you did it. DO NOT press the eject button on the PS2!!!

-with the PS2 cd tray cover removed, you will be able to look in and see a while tab inside the PS2. With a credit card (or something like it) gently slide the white tab all the way over to the right, if you did it correctly, this should allow you to manually pull open the PS2 cd tray.

5) Next, take the gameshark disk out of the PS2 and put in your burned game.

6) Gently push the PS2 cd tray fully back into the PS2 (Don't press the eject button).

7) Now you need to slide that white tab all the way back to the left (its origional position). To do this you get a strong papper clip(needs to be a strong one) stick it into the PS2 on the right side of the white tab and push the tab back to the left.

8) If you pushed the tab all the way back to the left and did every thing else right, you are ready to play your game. Just press X on your PS2 controler and watch as your burned game loads. ( It may load slower than an original game, depending on the cd-r you are using, I use Verbatim cd-r's and have no problems.)

are you sure you have version 1.1? Sounds like you have a newer version that automatically ejects the tray.

Funny you ask. On the disk itself, it says version 1.1. Now on the memory card it says Version 5. So I am in my head thinking...which is which...

You have a MadCatz/Fire International Gameshark & cannot use it to do the swap boot method.

You need one of the older Gamesharks, made by Datel, distributed by InterAct to do the swap method for booting games

So just to be on the safe side. If I bought this gameshark 2

Would it work, since it is version 3, and I am a bit nervous about the tray ejecting.
