gameshark 2 and psx?

korn666slipknot · 05-11-2003, 01:59 PM

i have been a gameshark user for a good while now. i had a game shark for my PS (the kind you put in the port on the back) and now i have a gameshark2 for my PS2. anyway, the gameshark came with an archive disk w/ codes for different ps1 games. i have arc the lad, which is a newer ps1 game and the codes for it are not on the archive disk. there is no way (atleast that i know of...) to add new codes to this archive disk so what can i do? is it possible to enter ps1 codes on the ps2 disk and have the game still work and have the codes function and what not? thanx.

The gameshark 2 PS1 disc you can't add new codes. Yeah i know it's a bitch. The PS1 disc it comes with is more like a bonus.

You can only use whatever codes are already on it.

The PS2 disc, for ps2 games you can add though i don't think if you put in PS1 game codes they will work on the PS2 disc archive.

Hope that helps!

damn. yeah thats pretty much what i figured. do you know if there are update discs for the PS1 archive part?
thanx!

No, the only way to get a new disc is to buy a new version of the gameshark 2.

Or just go buy a gameshark for PSX.

eh yeah. i have one already im just so lazy i wanted to see if there was a way to do this with out getting out my ps1 and such. oh well. thanx!

Can't you use the PS1 Gameshark on your PS2?

If you play PS1 games on your PS2 the normal PS1 memory cards work don't they, so why not the Gameshark??

I could be wrong and apologise in advance if I am

She has the old type of gameshark, which plugs in from the back.

Gabriel013 · 05-16-2003, 08:56 AM

oops. Sorry guys and gals:doh:

All I can suggest is to buy one of the later model Gamesharks or Action Replays for the PS1.

As in my previous post, would the PS1 cheat card & Disc work on the PS2?

korn666slipknot · 05-16-2003, 10:33 PM

yes i do beleive that the newer versions of the ps1 memory card style gameshark would work. i see no reason why it wouldnt. maybe ill pick one up...
anybody know how much one would be now?

Dmitry M. (Lazer) · 05-16-2003, 10:47 PM
