Select With Codes and press X Press X when it says to insert the disc You will get an error message saying “Too many codes. Turn some off to continue.” • At this point, hold eject until the power light turns orange • You have four seconds to take out the large DVD and put in your backup • The tray will automatically close • Press X to accept the error message • Press Start • Select “Without Codes” • Press X and your backup will now boot Please let me know if you have any problems, I’ll try to help you but I can’t guarantee anything.

Power light does not turn orange when i hold it??? seems to me that you have a no solder mod installed?
No modifications were made to my system, are you holding the power or eject button? It's the eject button you hold, but the power light is the one that changes.
I saw this yesterday on the forums. I was wondering if you can do the "Hold Eject Button" trick with Swap Magic also, so you can ignore using the Slide Card or Flip Top? Only reason I ask is because I just ordered Swap Magic and a Slide Card. But if GS/AR2 let you do it without fliptop/cogswapping, then I'd say that's the better deal - not to mention you can use cheat codes too! Please - someone with Swap Magic try this. When you get to the disc swapping part, instead of using the fliptop or slide card, press and hold the Eject Button and quickly swap discs when it opens up.

I have a Gameshark Version 4 and it doesnt say Without Codes when I press start game. Also, when i boot my backup, using your method, it says cannot read, etc. Can anyne please help me/ Thx -yugioh2me
Hi yugioh2me, When you say it says it "cannot read" are you referring to the error message "Disc Read Error"? If so it's a problem with the disc, not the method used to boot it. If not, please give me the full error message. I have no experience with GSv4, so I can't help you there.
THFS, Everyone and their mother is tellign me that you must have a No-Solder Mod chip in your PS2 to see the orange light and to be able to do the Hold-Eject Swap. Are you 100% positive your PS2 isn't modded? Also - what VERSION os your PS2?
It's a v3 PS2. I guess I must have a No-Solder mod chip, I was never told about it when I got Action Replay. My brother-in-law took it for a few days when I first got AR2, maybe that's what he was doing. No matter what, I'm very sorry for false advertising here, I know what it's like when you follow a guide perfectly and it fails. Sorry for the misunderstanding, I never knew my PS2 was modded.
That's ok. Hopefully there wasn't a rush on Game Shark/Action Replay sales this past weekend Atleast they are refundable!
Does anyone know how to boot a backup of swap disk magic using AR MAX on a version 3 PS2? Someone please help me.
Can u boot backups using code breaker for PS1 on a PS2 as i heard the disk does not eject, so you can use the swap trick and boot the backup.
