FOUND Cheap Source For Sharkport/X-Port Cable

[GadgetFreak]

I was placing an order with EBuyer last week when I stumbled across an interesting USB cable for only £6.56. I decided it was cheap enough to take a risk on so I went ahead and ordered it.
I have now checked out the cable and can confirm that it is a PL-23XX cable. It works perfectly. It comes in generic packaging with a driver CD, EBuyer sell it as their own product. Their QuickFind Code for it is 39504.
The postage for the UK is as little as £1.87.

Nice find! Might invest in one of these myself as my Xport caable is the Anchorchip model

Cool...and a nice price. Doesn't X-Port need a dongle to work like most the Datel products for PS2.

Nope, the Sharkport uses just a cable and 2 cds. One cd for the computer software and one to boot up the ps2.

So you can use this cable and download the xport v2 software and burn it to cd for ps2/ install to pc and it should work just like a normal xport? (sorry if this is a bit of a silly ques to ask) Can you easily download the appropriate software? Thanx

Thanx Dunno, havent found a USB cable with daul ends to attach to both the PS2 an the USB port on the puter

I'm confused on all this... what exactly is this cable used for?

What kind of transferring would you need to do between your PS2 and PC? And is that all this cable does, is transfer data (in the sense of files, etc... if there's a more logical use, then please inform me!!!)

[muffdiver0069]

transfer codes an saves cuz most are too lazy to enter the codes by hand

i bought this cable from ebuyer and just recieved it in the mail. I tried using it with naplink but it doesnt work. I have the sharkport cd and sharkport software and i get a usb connection error when i use it. napclient just says waiting for peer and my ps2 just has a black screen after i load the naplink cd. any ideas? the quick find code for ebuyer USA is: 60691
im afraid that its the wrong cable, but u guys said it works great for you.
please help. Im going crazy over this.

you need to install the correct driver on your pc for whichever app you plan to use, ie the driver to use for naplink is different than the driver used for sharkport, neither of which are the default driver windows installs.

[dorkster3]

i installed the naplink pl-23## driver and naplink still sits there saying waiting for peer.... on napclient. Where can i find the sharkport/x-port driver? im trying everything i can think of.
thanks for the help though.
