Please help with Sbox and Gameshark

[Darthus]

Hi all,

I have the Sbox modchip, a v4 PS2. I am using a gameshark. On the bottom of the CD it reads, "Gameshark 2 Version 2 - Americas 1.99c". I know the sbox is installed properly, because I can boot backup PSX games directly by just turning the sbox on.

None of the current instructions on how to boot backup PS2 games works with my setup. I turn on the PS2 with the gameshark in, it loads to the main menu. I turn on the sbox. I go to start game, without codes. Then I take out the gameshark, and put in a backup game. Now if I press X here, the background stops moving, the tray doesn't pull in, and nothing happens. If I close the tray, and wait, I can hear the cd load a bit, then stop spinning, then if I hit x, nothing happens and the background freezes. The ONLY way I've gotten it to work so far is to close the tray and JUST as the tray closes, hit x, and it works like 1/20th of the times I try.

Can anyone direct me to instructions for the new gamesharks, or tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or if I have to hit x just as the tray's closing, can you give me a clue as to exactly when I have to hit x? Thanks a lot.
