i would like to be able to make backups of some of my games, i have a ps2 and i wonder if gameshark would work with it to allow me to play copies of games.

No. Gameshark for PS2 does not enable playing of imports or copies.

The only reason you might think so is early modchips required you to use a gameshark to boot your ps2 games. Also the Gameshark will NOT. Mod required.

A thread started by moi ;)

But I was talking about Playstation 1 on my thread, he is talking about Playstation 2... a system which modding is more difficult, it's not a simple matter of swapping CD's at certain times and stuff.

Speaking of that, I have another question about playing those "backup" games with my gameshark, so if you would all take a look at that thread and scroll down to my recent post, that would be oh so kind ;)

Drac, your best shot might be the USB mod. It requires you to solder just 1 link wire. From what I remember you might need a AR/Gameshark to boot PS2 games still, but it's probably the easiest solution.

Although, if you have the right model, there is a completely plug in card that you plug into your PS2 motherboard to play copies/imports. It's pretty cool.

The usb mod? what's that?

What version of the ps2 would i need for the plug in card. I just bought my ps2 a couple of months ago if that's any help for the model.

I have a USB Mod just sitting in my room, if interested I might be willing to sell it, contact through AIM is preferable although Private Messages will be sufficient.

http://www.modchip.com might have some info. Like I said, it requires a AR to boot PS2 copies and a single wire must be soldered, nothing hard really. ;)
