Help with MC hack using Gameshark V5.5 Brodband Enabled

[boman265]

I have read about five tutorials using a gameshark that has a media manager I have a Gameshark broadband enabled V5.5 and i have a 1.88 gig mem stick formatted to FAT. I make the save exploit, transfer it to the mem card and then i eject the gameshark and put in the ps1 disc, reset the console and then the game boots. In my memory card I still have the system settings and a gameshark save is there. I am not sure to use .md or .sps and wether or not to rename it to .ps2. I have also tried many combinations. Any help would be appreciated I have hacked a psp so i know what I am doing.

First I think you have misunderstood some of the tutorials.

The GameShark media player is not AFAIK needed to install the PS1 exploit (almost any USB-capable cheat engine can do that), but is instead used to launch a homebrew elf directly (by some trickery).

Second, I think the version of GameShark you are using is not the one with the media player (not to be confused with a media manager, which is something else entirely).

As for using the PS1 exploit to boot homebrew software, you should be aware that this is only possible on the old fat PS2 models, but never on the new slim PStwo models. I don't know what model you have, but if you do have a slim, that is the reason why a PS1 exploit can't work for you.
