Hidden Ultra Cheats Feature on Demo One Version 7 accessable via Gameshark + BONUS
4You may remember my other video years ago about the Ultra Cheats menu that was inaccessable unless the demo's main executable was hacked changing the path for the MGS video EXE to that of Ultra Cheats, until Romaric LABRI contacted me who said that he already found out how this hidden menu was accessed without hacking the EXE. And that was via a Gameshark code that he cannot remember anymore, but did showcase the active menu in his apparently now-deleted blogpost.
Today, on Christmas Eve, I managed to find the whole Gameshark code all on my very own. And here it is: 80052814 0003. (Found it in Duckstation via its Cheat Manager.)
Enter the code in your Gameshark and launch Demo One Version 7 as is while you keep the code active until the menu appears. At first, the menu does look a little screwed up when you have that code active, until you press the X button and you are greeted with the Ultra Cheats option highlighted. You can select the option and you are greeted with a menu that tells you to follow the on-screen prompts. Press X again and after the Demo One logo and some seconds of black screen you are immediately in the Ultra Cheats menu containing the very save files for those games that you saw in my other video earlier.

BONUS: I also show off the Demo Reset combination that can be entered within the menus of Demo One Version 7. Press and hold the shoulder buttons (L1+L2+R1+R2) and then START and SELECT together to reset the entire demo disc as I show off after showing you the Ultra Cheats feature fully working.
BONUS 2: I also discovered the same code to highlight the TECH option in Version 6 with this code 800516A8 0003, except that it will highlight Gran Turismo once selected, and then selecting that option will cause the disc to hang up, but can still be reset with the button combination stated earlier.
