PS1/2 Gameshark lite and PSX backups on PS2

[Pizzaroo]

Hey, I have a Gameshark Lite, and was wondering if it was compatible with a SLIM ps2 model 70012, and what do I need to do to boot the backups? Thanks~!

The answer is yes, I believe. However, you should not need a gameshark lite to begin with though it does help to avoid having to swap with a cd moving. The only ps2s that really needs a gameshark lite are the v7 (39001) or below. You should also have a flip top for the slim, too.

are ps2's able to have a sort of hacked firmware?
By backups do you mean "copies?"
like w*rez?
How is a legal product like the gameshark able to do illegal things?

So Jiggah, do you have a guide/video tut. that shows me how to do it? I can't find one D:

There are a million videos on youtube that shows the trick. Simply go to the browser (with the memory card icon and where you'll see a disc if you put a valid disc in) and put in an original ps1 game. Once you see the disc loaded on the browser, just swap out using a swap trick (I can't remember if the slim has the flip top or not, if it doesn't you should get one), push x to load it, and it'll load.

You need to block certain sensors to do any sort of swap trick.

oh, I've blocked out the sensors before. TIME TO GET OUT THE TAPE AND STRAW! Thanks!
