Re: SOCOM / gameshark / online / cheating

the save card saves game settings, that the developer wants to save, and re-read. It doesnt save a setting that says "infinite ammo" or "infinite life", and there is no "game setting script" involved.

the only way to hack a ps2 game is to gameshark it, which modifies discovered memory locations (rather a dumb and simple type hacking). There is no other way, unless its a hard-disk based game like FFXI where you could modify the program stored on the HDD, if any code is stored there.

Compare this to PC game hacking (or xbox hacking) where you could replace entire drivers (open gl hacking, wall hacking etc), run aimbots as code, and generally inject entire code chunks in without a problem.
