Sharkports in the UK?!?!?

[vtec_guy]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here knows of any websites that stock sharkports AND ship to the UK. I cant find anywhere that will ship to the UK which is a shame because i've been reading a bit about these and looking at people's creations and I really want to start getting into the whole hybrid thing. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
vtec

Don't bother with a Sharkport or the UK version called an Xport.

There is a device called a MaxDrive. This has a USB 16 Mb Memory Stick which means you don't need to connect the PS2 to a PC with a lead (Xport/Sharkport uses a lead). You can just plug the USB stick into the PC or the PS2 to transfer saves. Play have them for £9.99:

The files from this have an extension of .max. If you find an Xport file (.xps extension) you can use this program (download it):

http://www.ps2savetools.com/download.php?op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=74&ttitle=PS2_Save_Builder

to read in the .xps file and then do a save as a .max to read the file on the PS2, or put your .max file on the PC and use the program to read in and then save as a .xps so that MK's program can then read it so that you can build hybrids in GT3.

You can download MK's program on this page:

Don't forget to download that Save Builder program so that you can convert the save to the correct format for MK's program and allow you so get the finished save in the right format for the MaxDrive.
