how do I download the game saves from gamefaqs to my ps2 ?

dhkimboa · February 16th, 2002

I guess the only way to do that is to have a gameshark.

but I have a sony cyber shot which uses a usb cable and a " i - link 400 " can I connect my ps2 with that cable to download the game saves ?

dhkimboa · February 16th, 2002

well, i thought it was a i - link but it was not
it has a usb and the other end it's just for the camera : )

dhkimboa · February 16th, 2002

hehe I guess there is no way to do this

because ps2 won't detect it

oh dear

you need a usb crossover cable.
you can get the sharkport for ~$20 but the software for it really blows last time i used it.

dhkimboa · February 17th, 2002

sharkport for 20 ? yesss hehe
but anyway, I need a gameshark, right ?

ok, yes i believe it requires a gameshark.
a crossover cable is basically all it is. they dont necessarily look special. they are used all the time to connect 2 pcs thru a usb port.
i havent used my sharkport in a long time (left it at home) but when i did use it, the software was poorly designed, difficult to use, and severely limited. it did however upload/download game saves to a ps2 memcard in your ps2 and up/download codes to the gs2. a lot of people complained that the cable was too short (3 feet) but they said you dont need to have the ps2 hooked up to a monitor to have it work.

Not excatly. You need Sharkport. You download it to ur sharkport then to ur memory card. :P

**Bgnome** · February 17th, 2002

what do you mean?
the sharkport is nothing but a crossover cable.
i have it and ive used it before. you plug one end into your pc, the other into the ps2. you load up the software on the ps2 and then you open up software on the pc.
how many times do i hafta explain this..

dhkimboa · February 17th, 2002

then, I only need the cable not the whole gameshark, right ?

maybe if u take the data and save it to a psp and then take a normal standard usb 2.0 and connect ur psp and ps2 together it would work

wow is this thread ever old, it's not good to be reviving such old threads (especially if it's almost 4 years old

)

**General Plot** · January 5th, 2006

I do this by using FTP software on my PS2 and networking it to my pc so I can transfer saves from my hard drive to the memcard. Of course, doing it this way requires the ability to boot homebrew on your ps2....

and there were no PSPs back in that time

thread close no jutsu~
