I'm a complete beginner at gameshark, and I noticed that some codes where able to detect pressing buttons. How does that work, and how would it be possible to set a memory address when a button is held? (If the implementation is game-dependent, I'm working on something in majora's mask.)

To start out this project would be for pokemon. I remember using those action replay cheats way back when and after coming back it seems like the cheat codes that dont break the game entirely are pretty scarce. I have never modified anything when it comes to pokemon and am a noob to modding in general so could use some tips on where to start and what tools could be useful for doing this sort of thing. The idea is below:

For gens 2-5

Start learning on either hgss or platinum

- put the exp share from gen 6+ into the game via pc

- 2x or 3x exp multiplier

- add level caps based on antagonist/gym/elite 4/champion fights

Aimed to fix the grindy feeling of pokemon to make it more relaxed and fun.

Also geared towards being able to use a ton more pokemon in battle without everything besides starter and a few

others being underleveled.

Its not impressive to farm more mobs and is something I find tedious.

Goal is for each of these to take on the form of a cheat code (not sure 3rd implementation is feasible with cheat code).

Just arrived in mail

My GameShark just came in yesterday so i popped my emerald cart in. First time ever using these so I was just trying to figure out how it works. Tried to use a few cheats but it never loaded so I just turned my gameboy on/off but the game screen always came on. After selecting the mod shop cheat and a few others, i tried to load into the game. The result was this screen….game hasn’t loaded at all since then. Is my emerald cart toast?

So I finally got myself a gameshark instead of an Action Replay so that I could use EXP cheats on Leaf Green. Now my problem is that the largest xp cheat I can find is 5k, which requires at least two knockouts to get enough xp for almost anything level 35+ to level up. But the more annoying part is that the cheat only seems to apply to wild battles, not trainer battles. Any help is appreciated!

Edit: I believe this was the master code (9820F6AE8203 8359EBCF20F5 DC89BB73F72F) And this was the 5k EXP code (FEBB0A6A8203 087B9AD720EE)

Any time I try to start up Pokémon game it gives me the same message and if I do switch it off and try to switch it back on later, it just doesn’t work. The most I could do is get it to work for about half a minute and then the code stopped completely, can somebody help me out here?

Hi. First post here so I'll try to be as specific as possible

There's this game called Destrega, developed by the same guys who made Dynasty Warriors, where there are two characters, called Relics, which are not playable unless you edit internal memory values (for example think about how Oxide is not playable on CTR unless you change a specific address to value 0F)

I know this is possible because of some videos published on YouTube a while ago, but the uploader chose to never reveal the code. Multiple people asked in the comments, but they never got an answer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UA40A-UV8A&pp=ygUXcGxheSBhcyByZWxpY3MgZGVzdHJlZ2E%3D

I play on the PAL version, on ePSXe, but if you can research these codes for the NTSC version I can convert them to PAL easily. I just don't know how to find the address to change the character in memory...

2 separate stores have been overpricing these books hoping that they shoot up in value! I just wanted to let you all know that these aren't very expensive and that they're scalping!

Good evening, guys! How's it going?

I was wondering if anybody here has been able to find (or even to create) the cheat to make SSJ on DBZ Sagas infinitive (you know, that energy bar that lasts too fast haha). Trust me when I say I always look for it each certain time and never find anything. So I came up with the idea of posting here, the gameshark community, to see if this time I get something haha

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Is there an easier way to get codes onto a GBC Gameshark on a PC without having to type in every code manually on the GBC?

Hello I'm new here and I can't find a shiny code for a starter codethat works for Pokémon fire red v1.0 if anyone knows one please lmk!

I deleted all of the pre-installed games on my Gameshark Pro 3.0 to help with freeing up some memory. Now when I select “Select Cheat Codes” it freezes the menu and nothing happens. I can navigate and click on all of the other options in the menu without running into a freezing issue. What do I do to fix this? I’ve tried everything I can think of.

I recently bought a Gameshark Pro 3.0, trying to load Crash Bash codes. When I remove the Gameshark, the game loads fine. However, trying to load the game through the Gameshark menu — it doesn’t load, just gets stuck on this screen. What’s the issue? My PS1 is a PAL version, and my Crash Bash version is Platinum. Help!

I got a GameShark pro v3.0 for gameboy and gameboy color today The black speckled version

When I insert games into it it never says the games in when I turn it on it just shows the logo then flashes to the main menu (not sure if that’s normal)

And also I can’t seem to get any codes to work on Pokémon crystal so I’m wondering if it’s a user defect or if something’s actually wrong with the game shark I think I’m turning the GameShark on and off correctly but honestly idk bc it’s not labeled on or off any help would be appreciated thanks in advance

Any codes for crystal would be appreciated also I need shiny code and the gs ball event code

Hello, I believe I currently own a gameshark v2.1 for gameboy color and pocket I am primarily trying to use it on pokemon crystal but I have having a lot of problems with the game getting hung while codes are enabled and I have to flip the switch to turn the codes off for the game to continue to run

I am looking at other versions of gamesharks and it looks like there was one specifically made for crystal and probably a v4.0 as well

My question is, is it worth buying one of these versions of gamesharks? Will it play nicer with crystal? or is this issue something I'll run into no matter what version of gameshark I use

I have a ps2 fat and I am using the gameshark disc ps2 with the gameshark card. However no matter what I do, I keep getting a no hardware detected message. Should I use action replay instead? Help! I'm Stumped!

I found a wild pokemon modifier code for pokemon flora sky. Here's the whole thing:

Master Code](Activate First) D8BAE4D9 4864DCE5 A86CDBA5 19BA49B3

Lugia: 25214170 0AB256A2 FFA6733C EE552E68 2E7B7A58 D0781742 A5D889A8 F66475E3

Relicanth: 25214170 0AB256A2 FFA6733C EE552E68 2E7B7A58 D0781742 A5D889A8 F6D478E4

Sealeo: 25214170 0AB256A2 FFA6733C EE552E68 2E7B7A58 D0781742 A5D889A8 36E478E4

From what I can see the last part decides what the wild pokemon will be. But how do I sort of "convert" that last bit to the pokemon I want? I tried for 3 hours to figure it out but finally came here to ask.

So I have this situation: I have been playing megaman battle network 3 for VBA emulator and I found out that if I apply gameshark code for this game on the emulator, it will make me lose my save file overtime. Is this true? If it is, is there a way to fix it?

Hello everyone, I have tried different Codes and I have not been successful with any of the versions I try, does anyone know common things that people make mistakes when inputting the code in!?

I know nothing about GameSharks but I found my old carabiner one for my GBA SP and I want to use cheats for Pokémon but the game isn’t listed. Is that a problem and how do I get around that?

So apparently my last post was taken down due to lack of information. I have been trying to find cheats that work either on the gameshark or codebreaker for a game called ar tonelico 1. I have tried quite a few different sites but either they codes don't work or I just can't find em. I would greatly appreciate any help. Hope this time my post won't be taken down I need to clarify it's for the PS2 console not an emulator and for the us version of the game as for the type of gameshark it's the gameshark 2 version 1.2

I want to catch some shinies in the Battle Frontier but I can’t bring in any Poké Balls.

I just bought a Gameshark for GBC and it has version 4.2, loaded with 230 games including Pokemon Crystal. I assumed this was the most recent rom until I came across an old article on the 2002 gameshark website. They ran a campaign allowing customers to mail in older versions (4.0 and older) and receive a newer rom version with "an updated code list featuring over 380 games with over 2000 codes." Does anyone have this rom file or newer?

Thanks to u/Beta382 for their Display SID codes, Knowing your SID is essential for the RNG Kill code calculation.

Thanks to u/SoggyMinimum8386 for the help testing Master Codes and RNG Kill codes.

These codes were generated with PokemonMaker-v4x.

The Master Codes for regions other than English and Japanese Emerald are my own.

NOTE 1: These codes only work for Pokémon Emerald Version. Codes were tested on emulator and actual Codebreaker hardware with English and Spanish games, the rest were tested only in emulator but they should work.

NOTE 2: Select the correct Master Code for your region, these guide now includes improved Master Codes.

NOTE 3: The code set including the Base RNG Kill, Mirage God and Mirage Island Enabler is common to all regions except Japan, there's a code set exclusive for japanese games.

NOTE 4: Before attempting these codes you MUST FIRST make calculations for your own RNG Kill code, this is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!!!

Setup

First you need your TID and SID to calculate your RNG Kill Code. To get your SID please refer to this guide.

Write your TID/SID down and input them in my custom web app: Pokemon Emerald RNG Kill Code Calculator.

The web-app is pretty self-explanatory and really easy to use!

Here's an example of what you should get:

RNG Kill ! (Most regions, you must calculate your own values for xxxx!)
83005D80 61A1
83005D82 xxxx

Following the above example we substitute xxxx:
RNG Kill ! (Calculated)
83005D80 61A1
83005D82 BA0E

Code Use

Make sure Box:14 Spot:1 is empty!!! If another Pokemon is in that place it will be ERASED FOREVER!!!!.

Make sure Box:14 Spot:1 is empty Before attempting the codes!!!

Then make sure you've saved your game inside the Pokemon Center at Pacifidlog Town.

Save here, you may activate your codes here as well.

Afterwards you must generate a special Pokemon that will trigger Mirage Island activation. This Pokemon is a Shiny Wynaut named Mirage God, which will have PokeRus in case you want to spread it to your team. It will appear at Box:14 Spot:1.

To do this enter the correct MasterCode for your region, the RNG Kill and the Mirage God codes. You might also activate the Mirage Island Enabler code at this point.

Here's an example of what you should have:

MasterCode (English)
00006FA7 000A
1006F5CC 0007

RNG Kill ! (Calculated)
83005D80 61A1
83005D82 BA0E

Pokemon: Wynaut Mirage God /OT Setzer (Most regions, Requires RNG Kill)
Box:14 Spot:1
520311EC 0028
........ .... (See complete codes in next section)

Mirage Island Enabler! (Most regions, Requires RNG Kill and Mirage God)
82026DE4 7EA7

Start your game with the codes active, head for the PC and open Box 14, make sure Wynaut is at the first spot. Turn off the codes, and withdraw the pokemon. You shouldn't need to turn them on again.

The generated Pokemon will appear here. Turn off the codes before withdrawing it.

After that make sure that Mirage God is in your first party slot...

Mirage God must be in the first party slot.

and then head to see the Old Man that looks out for Mirage Island.

Head to this house and enter, go talk to the Old Man inside.

He should see Mirage Island on the horizon!!

Mirage Island is visible! Now you can go explore there!

And finally, surf to the right of Pacifidlog Town. Soon enough you'll arrive to Mirage Island. There're only wild Wynauts in the tall grass and a single Liechi berry in a plant.

Mirage Island. Only Wynauts and a single Liechi berry to be found.

Here's a video demonstration of the procedure:

Expedition to Mirage Island. I've never seen it before with my own eyes!!

And here are the codes, enjoy!:

Does anyone have a rapid fire code for this one? The first 2 games have a rapid fire code, but not Master Of The Arena. Thanks.
