Alternate Normal Method
Normal Boot Method 2 (PS2 Backups & GS2)
  1. Insert the GameShark2 CD 1
  2. Power off the PS2 for 5 seconds
  3. Turn on the machine - will boot to main menu
  4. At the GameShark2 main menu press EJECT to open the disc tray then remove the GameShark2 CD and replace it with an original DVD-ROM based PS2 game which has a larger TOC (table of contents) than that of your DVD-R copy (click here for a TOC size database)
  5. Close the disc tray by pressing the EJECT button again and wait for 30 seconds before continuing
  6. Select START GAME
  7. Select WITHOUT CODES
  8. Hold down the EJECT button to eject the disc tray until the RESET button light flashes orange when prompted
  9. Swap GameShark2 disc with your PS2 backup
  10. After 5 seconds the disc tray will automatically close
  11. Press X AS SOON as the tray closes
  12. The game will now load

    Note: Some of the newer games have a dubble protection, games like Tomb Raider AOD. To bypass this try using WITH CODES in step 7. I found that slecting any game using ONLY the master code these dubble protected games will boot on ps2 versions 1-6 Not version 7+.
