1) GETTING STARTED

a) Requirements

To use SharkPort you must have a PC running Windows 98SE or above. 
It is advisable to have over 300MB of disk space free for storing the saved games
you transfer from your PS2 Memory Card(s). Your PC will also need a CD-ROM
drive and one free USB port.

A PC modem and account with an Internet service provider (ISP) or a dial-up
Internet connection is required to use SharkPort’s online features.

b) Setting up SharkPort for the First Time

Before you can start using SharkPort, you will have to install SharkPort on your
PC, connect up the supplied USB link cable and boot up the GameShark2 V4 CD
on your PS2 console, all of which is explained in the following steps below:

c) SharkPort PC Installation

1. Insert the SharkPort PC CD into the CD-ROM drive of your PC and close the 

drawer.

2. After a few seconds, the installation launch panel will appear. If the launch panel 

does not automatically appear, double-click on the My Computer Icon, then 
double-click on the CD-ROM icon, and lastly double-click on the SETUP.EXE file 
to bring up the launch panel. 

3. Follow the onscreen prompts to install SharkPort onto your PC.

d) Connecting the USB Link Cable

1. Connect the supplied USB cable by inserting one end into one of the USB sockets

located on the front of your PS2.

2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a spare USB socket usually located 

at the back of your PC.

3. Windows will ask for a path to install the required USB drivers. The USB drivers 

can be found on the SharkPort PC CD inside the ‘FireLink Drivers’ folder.

e) Starting-up the SharkPort Interface

1. Make Sure the USB Link Cable is connected correctly to your PC and PS2.
2. Insert the GameShark2 V4 CD into your console.
3. Press reset on your PS2 and let the software boot-up until it settles on the main 

menu screen. (GameShark2 V4 must be on the main menu screen for SharkPort 
to function)

4. Turn on your PC and double-click the SharkPort icon.
5. The SharkPort Interface will now appear on your PC desktop.

PLEASE NOTE

GameShark2 V4 MUST be on the Main Menu screen at all times and the included
USB cable must be connected at all times while SharkPort is being used on the PC.

2) AN OVERVIEW OF THE SHARKPORT INTERFACE

When you first start SharkPort, you will be presented with an interface consisting
of 2 different panels. Details of each panel and its functions are explained in more
detail below.

a) PC Panel

This is the left panel that displays all saves and cheat files stored on your PC. The
