Introduction
==============
This FAQ is to show people how to play their imports and/or backups on PSX using a
GameShark CDX. If your used to knowing how to disc swap then the methods that I talk about
in this FAQ should be easy enough to follow. If your not familiar with Disc Swapping then I
suggest that you read J. Muir's FAQ on the swap trick @ www.gamefaqs.com under the PSX Console
information. Also I will be adding visual data in the near future on how to disc swap using the
GameShark CDX. The date that I will do this is still under question for now.
==========
How to....
==========
I will explain the entire process on how to disc swap on a Gameshark all the way to
the first step. Be warned that I will not take any resposibility on what happens to your PSX
if you use my method of how to swap. Since i dont want to lag you on i will get directly to the
point on how to do it.
(Note: you will need to use 3 CD's for this to work. A orginal PSX CD that is a local cd,
The Gameshark CD, and the CD you want to play with on the GameShark CDX)
1. Have something holding down the small gray button in the upper right hand corner
of the PSX door (It Should look like a small circle that you can push down with your finger, but
do not use your finger on doing this since you will need both hands free, But make sure that
the object that you use is enough so that you can lift up the lid just enough so that the
button will come up.)
2. Insert your Gameshark CDX CD and do what you need to do, either starting up your
game with codes or not.
3. When you reach the screen which asks you to remove the GameShark CD, Take it out
and replace it with your local cd.
4. Lift up the CD Lid just enough so that the button isnt being held down then let
go of the cd lid so that it goes back down. By this time you should see your local CD spinning.
5. Here is the part in which disc swapping knoledge takes its part. When the local cd
starts to boot up it will go from slow to fast and the quickly back to slow. What you need to do
is take out the local CD when it goes slow the second time and put in your Import or backup.
(For those who are absent minded ill use the 1x and 2x speed rule for you below)
In Short for those wanting to disc swap you should use the legend below
1x=Slow Speed
2x=Fast Speed
Swapping Method - 1x , 2x , 1x
6. If you did it right the game should boot up and you will be on your way to playing
your import or backup.
