Something to Replace the Sharkport cable..

**Kurisuellegarde** · 02-07-2009,03:19 AM

I'm curious if anyone has used something else besides the official Sharkport cable to put the Independence hack on your carD????

What type of USB cables do I need for it? I'm pretty sure you can use a usb to usb male connectors...or do you need the bridge cables?

Could someone help me because I've only the Gameshark to use for the exploit. =[

With minimal searching you could have found the thread below that tells you what cable to use as well as what chip is in the cable.

Isn't it just a PL2301/2302?

essentially the usb version of a crossover cable?

Couldn't it be done that your computer acts as a hub?

Or if need be, can anyone here tell me if this will work to convert it in such way?

I have both types of cables and at the end both ends of the whole thing are Type A male.

Pls, on a quick notice, I don't want to spend too much $$ on all this stuff if it's simply not going to work.

No it will not work!
The correct cable has a chip inside, usually accompanied by a large lump in the middle or one end. That chip is required for the software to work correctly.
Simply adapting the end of a regular USB cable is not a solution.
