hey, i just recently obtained a gameshark 2 v4, and i play backup games.

I've noticed that in order to get the cheats to work you have to activate the game. However, the game i want to play is a backup copy.

Is there any way to make the cheats work?

thanks in advance

You did not give enough info.
If your using Swapmagic, Boot GameShark pick game & cheats, swap for Swapmagic, then swap your Backup.
If your using ESR, then Boot GameShark pick game & cheats, then swap or eject, for ESR patched DVD.
If you have a Mod, read up on IT.

It may depend upon what modchip you have?

Booting a Playstation2 CD (Silver or CD-R)

? Boot GS2 disc 1.
? At the main screen, select START GAME and then select WITHOUT CODES.
? Once the GS2 is asking to change the game disc, press the EJECT button till the light changes from green to orange.
? The CD tray will now open and you can replace the CD game with your backup copy.
? The CD tray will automatically close after about 5 seconds.
? Wait till the the power LED changes from orange to green again and press X now to start the game.
I'm kind of a tech noob, so I am wondering if GS2 means Gameshark 2 and any version


also, thank you for the link

Why do you need a GameShark if your NOT using cheats?
PS2 version 1-4 can boot CD-R with GameShark2 v4 by Swap NOT Eject.

GameShark 2 v4 & GamesharkCARD (Must have Card)
GS2.4 does NOT eject, so you can swap, this is why its wanted by so many.

He does want to use cheats, he is just not sure the method to use with his modchip and ps2 backups.

So the swap method is pretty much [correct me if im wrong]
-> insert Gameshark disk
-> turn power off for 5 seconds
-> turn it on and hold the reset button
-> activate game [in cheats menu] , then start game
-> let go of reset button, wait for tray to open
-> change disks, and press X as soon as the tray closes

I couldn't tell you for sure if that will work or not.

I think it would be real simple if you had a fliptop on your FAT PS2.

Then you would just have to swap the disk for your backup, once you select your codes and activate game.
Seeing like "imdragon" says Gameshark 2 V4 does not eject, so you can swap.
