This is probably how you shud do it.........

Burn gameshark on a cd-r or dvd-r .........
Pop the vc/dvd in and boot up
Select the game cheat you want to use
Use start game with cheats
Eject the gameshark and pop in your game dvd !
This should work if you have a mod-chip installed.

If u have one the latest mod chips my method shud work since i have booted the ps2reality media player on my friends ps2 the same way. Also cd-rs are supported in the ps2 so there shudn't be any probs. And yeah u will have 2 to do it evertime i guess.

@allwyn: the afterdawn guide is for ps2 owners who have mod chip that dont boot back-ups and such straightaway.
