I have a GameShark or GameShark Pro, now what do I do?
Place your game cartridge onto the Game Shark’s top. You can easily tell which is the top by noticing if the GameShark sticker on the GameShark is readable. Then insert your GameShark (that has the cartridge placed onto it) into your system system and turn the console power on. If you are using a CDX GameShark, insert the GameShark, select any codes wanted, and choose start game. It should ask you to insert the game CD, which you should do. After pressing a button, the game should load. Help! My GameShark or GameShark Pro isn’t working now! There are a few reasons why your GameShark didn’t work. Either you didn’t follow the procedure listed, or you have a placed a game into your N64 that requires a Key Code to boot the game. Also you may not have pushed the GameShark (or cartridge) down far enough for it to fit in snugly. There is a very slight possibility that your GameShark is defective. Also beware not to switch the power off and on quickly as the GameShark might freeze on the title
