I bought mine & the reason I made a backup copy of it is the whole reason people make backup copys, because if it gets messed up I have my backup copy of my Gameshark 2 that will work once I get a no swap chip on my own PS2. That is why I suggest to those that are planning on purchasing a no-swap mod-chip in the future make a backup of their GS/AR. I & 2 of my good friends have Gameshark 2s that we paid $40.00 US for at gamestop. For some reason in all 3 of our consoles the Gameshark2 doesn't seem to read on the 1st try & the CDs are new! Sometimes we need to put the GS in 3 different times before it will start up rather then going to the "This is not a PS2 format disc" therefore I imagine that if the CD was to get scratched it would be even worse off!

Has anyone else had this happen to them?
