To delete a file follow the simple steps below-

Make sure you are on the Memory Manager side of the screen. Use the D-Pad to highlight the save that you wish to delete. Press the “TRIANGLE” button.

You will be asked to confirm the file delete. Press the “CIRCLE” button to proceed and delete the file. Press “CROSS” if you do not want to delete the file.

Once this process is complete, GameShark® 2 V3 will refresh the currently selected Memory cards contents on-screen to reflect the changes you have just made.

f) Zipping a File

Zipping is a powerful and incredibly useful feature that compresses files on any PlayStation® 2 memory device, freeing up loads more storage space! It works with all PlayStation® 2 compatible memory cards. Zipped files will show as an Aqua color. Normal save data will show as Orange and corrupt save data will show as Red.

To zip a game save simply follow the steps below.

Make sure you are on the Memory Manager side of the screen. Use the D-Pad to highlight the save you wish to zip.

Press the “Square” button on your controller. If the file cannot be zipped a window will appear saying, “ This type of file is unsupported”.

If the file can be zipped it will turn from Orange in color to Turquoise.

PLEASE NOTE

Not all Game save data can be zipped. If this is the case a window will appear and tell you. Nothing will happen to your original game save.

If a window appears stating “ An error has occurred while reading the save” this means there are errors in the game save data. Press “CROSS” to close the window. Your original save will not be affected.

Once this process is complete, GameShark® 2 V3 will refresh the currently selected memory device’s contents on-screen to reflect the changes you have just made.

g) Un-Zipping a File

To use a zipped file you will need to un-zip it first. You cannot, for example, load a compressed game save into a game – the game will not recognize any zipped file. Once you have un-zipped (un-compress) your game save, it can be used as normal.

The process for un-zipping a file is exactly the same as “Zipping a File” as detailed above.

h) Formatting your Memory card

When you format your Memory card it deletes all save data that is on your memory card, and this is lost forever. Please use the Format feature with caution!

To Format your Memory card follow the steps below-

Make sure you are on the Memory Manager side of the screen.

Press the R2 button to select the Memory card you want to format.

Press the “TRIANGLE” button and the L1 button at the same time.

You will be asked to confirm if you wish to Format your Memory Card.

Press the “CIRCLE” button if you wish to continue and Format your Memory card.

Press the “CROSS” button if you do not want to Format your Memory card.

Once this process is complete, GameShark® 2 V3 will refresh the currently selected memory device’s contents on-screen to reflect the changes you have just made.

i) Viewing GameShark Memory Manager Saves on your PS2 Browser Screen

When using your PS2 Browser Screen (refer to the manual supplied with your PS2) to view your memory card saves, you can identify the different types of saves by simply looking at the type of 3D icon. Any saves created by the “GameShark Memory Manager” can be easily identified.

‘Green Cube’ icons are zipped “GameShark Memory Manager” saves. ‘GameShark Logo’ icons are Un-Zipped “GameShark Memory Manager” saves.

However, you will have to select the different icons and read the save description to identify which game the save is related to.
