How to Fix a Playstation 1 Gameshark to Work on a Playstation 2

The Gameshark code program facilitates cheating when playing games on the PlayStation 2 (PS2). The Gameshark disc is loaded into the PS2's operating system prior to inserting a game disc so that Gameshark codes can exploit loop holes in a game's programming to give players various advantages without risking damage to a game. You can fix a Gameshark disc made to use on the first-generation PlayStation (PS1) so it will work on a PS2. The procedure does not involve any disassembling of the PS2.
