Possible to backup a Gameshark 2 v2 disc?

**Nightman** · 09-01-2004,09:06 AM

I have seen v1.9, 3, and 4 available for download around the net. I have a v2 Gameshark that I want to burn a backup of the code/load cd. How can it be done?

you know that it cant be run without a modchip/swapping still right?

as far as i know its like any of the other GS2s, but no one wants it since v3+ do not use the dongle. v2 does.

I know it needs a mod to boot. Not a problem. My Magic 3 chip will not work with the original Gameshark disc, but it does work if I use a backup Gameshark disk. It is crazy, but true, lol.

I didn't know that the newer gamesharks didn't use a Dongle - I have the backups for v3 and v4 already burned to CD. What does it use for a dongle? A memory card?

yes, it saves to the MC. for my v0, I have no choice, newer AR and CB in general will not boot, so GS2 it is for me.

what i don't like is that the dongle is now useless. i don't know why they didn't just put an option where it could still use the older dongle for storage or extra space if needed.

If you have a newer console, v7+ i think, then GS2 and similar memory management and cheat utils will not work on purpose.

Backups will bypass this problem for those with mods.
