sharkport not connecting

[samjana]

i burned sharkport (dunno what version)

dwnloaded x-port software, both us and uk (neither worked)

purchased a usb-usb lead. male to male A type connector.

started xport on cpu

loaded sharkport and it hangs on a waiting message
xport software on cpu says usb error and doesn't connect.

also noticed that reset light (red) dimmly on (when ps2 switched of) and usb connected.
pls help as i spent a long time getting this lead and by reading on this forum believd that this would work
heelllp!

I did just the same today, I get error connecting to ps2.
Isn't that Sharkport usb cable a special cable? On photo's I see there is something on the middle of the cable, but thought it was just a dummy kind of thing

Your gonna need the thing in the middle. I have Shark Port. Maybe you should checkout the n port thing. I think if you do a search in the forums you can find it

its a pl230x chipset

Ok, got an USB cable with that thing in the middle (it's a regular network usb cable) and now I can connect.
Seems it's not compatible with AR2, it only reads the memory card and not the AR2 dongle (It says no GS dongle found)
I supose I need the X-port Cd. Where can i DL an image?

sorted. got usb cable with chip in middle. connected. worked.
wouldn't connect to action replay but then read help guide on pc and inserted replay cartridge in slot 1 and it worked.
I know use action replay and link cable to manage memory card and codes. it is well worth it.

finally got game save of pes2 with correct names unlocked teams player the works. yippee thanks to all you guys well done
