3. On - The search will return saves that were uploaded to the GameShark server

on the exact day you have entered.

e) Downloading Game Saves and Cheats from the Internet Panel
The game saves and cheats displayed in the internet connection panel are on
GameShark’s servers; to use them you will have to download them to a PS2
memory card or the PC. Downloading these files is as simple as copying file to &
from the PC & PS2 memory card.

To download files from the internet panel, simply move the mouse cursor over your
chosen save or cheat file, press and hold the left mouse button and “drag” the file
from the internet panel into the location where you wish to save it.

TIP
Download the files to your PC first as this will mean that any save descriptions or
extra file information will stay intact; you can always copy it to your PS2 memory
card later. And this will also mean you will always have a backup on your PC.

To download more than one file at a time, simply hold down the “Ctrl” button on
your keyboard while selecting the files you want to download. All the files will be
highlighted. Now simply hold the mouse button down whilst the cursor is over one
of your highlighted files to ‘Drag’ them where you want.

There can only be one cheat file present on a PS2 memory card at one time so
when downloading new cheats from the Internet Panel, it is advised to store them
on your PC first or backup the cheat file currently stored on your PS2 memory card.

f) Accessing GameShark’s Website
Alternatively you can just browse the GameShark website at www.gameshark.com
for the latest cheats, game reviews and information. Simple use your mouse and
click the ‘INTERNET’ button on found at the bottom of the memory card panel.
