That sounds good to me since they were slacking at the GS site, just wondering where you seen this cause I look on Datel, Interact, GS, CJ, sites and didn't see any news if you could leave a link to the newz that would be much appreciated, later....

The Codejunkies forums have been dead for over 6 months now (or there abouts) and are unlikely to return soon. I'd like to see them return so I can continuing insisting they fix the error with GTA3 and Vice City  |

The Xport/Sharkport cannot transfer GTA3 and GTA:VC saves back to the PS2 correctly, it's filling in a template and the GTA save headers don't match this template hence you get corrupted saves 
I found out about it from the guy who programmed the Memory Station software as that suffered the same problem but he fixed it as soon as he was informed. With the info he passed on I told Datel what the problem was, they had a word with one of the software engineers who said it was fixable (I'd always maintained that anyway) and that an update would be issued soon(ish) Cue however long it's been and GTA:VC is now out, suffers the same problem, and you cannot get a responce from Datel regarding this fixable error......
It really pisses me off as I backed up my GTA3 save with my Xport before I got my EMS adapter so I now have to write an xps2psu program just so I can play my GTA3 save, it'd be faster and easier to start again lol
[edit]
It's worth mentioning that some people claim that GTA3 & GTA:VC work with the Xport/Sharkport. I have never got one of the saves these people have sent me to work and therefore still insist that the current Xport/Sharkport software is incompatable. The incompatability is even mentioned on the official sites FAQ, so don't take needless risks with your GTA saves, back them up with the EMS adapter or the Memory station |

Thats good to know as I got a sharkport awhile back, I have 2 memory cards but 1 still has space so I haven't really used the SP for saves yet (except a couple downloaded saves), so basically if I uploaded a GTA save to my pc and then downloaded it back to the card it may be corrupted? Any other games with the flaw? Also since you know alot about the saves, have you heard anything about memory cards being corrupted by GTA VC saves, saw a couple of posts where other game saves supposedly got corrupted after saving GTAVC saves not sure if it was when they saved with cheats or not but they do have that warning.

You cannot even overwrite an existing GTA3 or GTA:VC save, as soon as you send it back to the card it corrupts. It's kind of like sending back a rectangle shape when the slot is a square, it's similar but will not work.
I've not had my card corrupt when I've been testing the GTA:VC saves sent to me and when the GTA3 flaw was discovered no one I talked to had any problems with it corrupting cards so I imagine it's just people getting the wrong end of the stick or messing something up themselves. I'm not guaranteeing that tho, after all it's possable in theory. Anyway, don't play with GTA saves and Sharkport/Xport until a software update is issued 
As far as I know GTA3 and GTA:VC are now the only incompatable saves, issues with other saves (Rayman for example) seem to have been addressed with the introduction of the V2 software |

The other day in the IRC chan, I was talking to a guy who worked at InterAct. He said that a GameCube GameShark would come out when InterAct paid Datel off for the PS2 GameShark. I don't think it was "Overwhelming Demand" that made Datel branch off....

Sorry to say this but FINALLY!!!!
GS didn't have much tech support, some of there employees were just plain rude. The biggest thing was that they didn't make the codes fast enough. That's why I came here. Hopefully GMO and anyoen else that hacks GS codes will still continue to bring lots of great codes.

I have to agree with mystical... I've never been to fond of the Game Sharks myself. For me it cheapens the game. A buddy of mine (quite a regular here I might add... thanks to the good ole' Cpt_O for telling me to check out these forums) has a Shark and will use it, but only after getting all he can from the game. That isn't bad, but I never understood buying a game for $50 just to use all of the cheats on it to beat it in like a day.
Well, just my $0.02!

Just for the sake of conversation, I'm a big RPG fan and the only reason I'll use a cheat is to enable Max Money or Infinite Money so I don't have to spend hour after hour in mindless battles just to raise the cash for better equipment and can just get on with the storyline... |

Arrrrrrrrr, Good ta sea a shipmate 'o mine pipin up and puttin' in his 2 cents... he tis right. The first time I actually used my GS to do any cheatin' was merely to unlock the celestrial weapons in FFX. Other than that I am a firm believer of using one's own skill in beating a game.....that and a Strategy Guide! har har har har har!!!

"GameShark" as you know it is dead... BUT... Datel is STILL making the Action Replay, and it's 100% compatible with GameShark codes.
(Action Replay/GameShark=SAME PRODUCT / DIFFERENT NAME)
InterAct owns the NAME "GameShark", but Datel is the company who created, designed, developed, and manufactured the actual product. The only thing InterAct did was stick a name on it and distribute it... The product (GameShark) itself WAS the Action Replay.. If ANY product comes out of InterAct with the "GameShark" name on it now that Datel has walked away from them, it'll be 100% CRAP... and it WILL NOT be the GameShark you once knew! |

I have been urging Datel for years to do this, they finally see sense !
I will set up some distribution chains for AR with some of our US/Canadian customers.
