Gameshark v4 with Swap Magic 3.6

[candidguy]

So I have a slim PS2 and I don't have modchip, so I use SM to boot, then insert gameshark and choose my cheat and then insert SM again, then swap with my backup game and press X at SW, then it just goes to browser and the red screen saying I need to insert PS2 disc, what's wrong? Please help.

Hi Candidguy

This is the only method I have ever seen with Gameshark

Most people just use the Armax Evo for Swap Magic - Download here (http://rapidshare.com/files/58310872/ARMAX-EVO.zip)

Hi Jackie, thanks for the help, but it's not that.

The problem is with SM 3.6, these guys have the same problem.

See, my PS2 is not modded and I don't own original copy of gameshark or armax so I have the backup copies of it, and I have to use swapmagic 3.6 to boot first, the problem is that if I boot swap magic 3.6 second time again to use with backup, it'll go straight to the PS2 browser and load whatever is in the drive and backup will not load, so I can't really do anything.
But I found out something,

and

And I got stuck on the part about using the ps2loader to load either GS or AR, how do you load it from the dvdloader/ps2loader thing? I already set iop to always and when I press X there is a list of menu that says empty, then I swap GS in the drive and press X again, and it froze. Do you know what the problems is?

BTW, nice avatar!

There are some gamesharks that just don't work. I know I tried a couple different ones once, and some of them freeze.
I was just using the ELF file though.

I can't really follow that guys tutorial on PS3 news. It sounds like he is saying to create your own disc with gameshark and cdloader on it using nero.

Thats why I only use Armax evo or Codebreaker now mostly.
Sorry I am not much help there with Gameshark.

[candidguy]

What I really need to do right now is make an elf of gameshark or armax and integrate it with the ps2loader, the one I got is Dvdloader v7 Beta 5.2.rar, I can't seem to find a tutorial on how to make an elf file of gameshark or armax and put it together with the ps2loader/dvdloader, if you know how to do it can you show me please?

[candidguy]

Nevermind, Jackie, please ignore my 5th reply, I got it working with the armax evo you provided, works great with your method

I was pretty stubborn with gameshark because I mainly only heard of gameshark before, not Action Replay, plus I followed that guide on how to update the newest codelist and recompile the iso and burn it with mode 2/XA and when I try it on swap magic it shows as "Not a Valid PS2 Disc" so I didn't use it then after wasting about 5 discs burning dvdloader, cdloader, swap magic 3.8, etc I finally think about burning that armax evo as original without updating the codelist, and that's how I finally got it working and now that I've tried it, it really is better than gameshark.
Believe it or not I think I'm just gonna use it for one game, FFX, with Al Bhed fully translated and have Seymour in party.

Thank you! :)
