I love all the pokemon games, and this machine gets you all the stuff you want and need. Despite all the guides I bought, and me and my friends traded for hours on every pokemon game availible, we still came up short on the number of pokemon out there. This system alows players to get infinite master balls, rare candies, boosts all your pokemon up to level 100, plus you can make it so that you can catch any pokemon in the wild like mew and celebi on level 2 and make them up to level 100 so it is really great, I would buy this, I totally recomend it

When the manufacturer of this particular product wrote in the fine print that you should not activate too many codes, they weren't kidding. If you activate more than 5 codes at any given time, your game shark will crash and will never be useable again. I've tried just about every method for recovering a crashed game shark, including the "cloning" technique on the game shark website, but none of it brought my game shark back from the dead.
I don't have a problem with the fact that the folks over at game shark made a product that crashes when too many codes are entered. I just wish that 1) They were more forthcoming about this information and 2) They would explicitly state that 5 codes is the maximum number that anyone should use for any particular game. The 5 code rule mainly comes from the web boards where thousands of unhappy customers have voiced their disgust for this product.
When I first bought this game shark, it worked very well. The interface was pretty straight forward and the codes generally seemed to work. Then I made the mistake of activating a 6th code in one of my games and I haven't been able to bring my game shark back from the dead.

I've had about four years of experience with gamesharks in the past, and this is one of the best ones I've had! This model (Madcatz Gameshark GBA Carabiner) is an improved design from the older boxier versions. I have been using this on my Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and it is a huge timesaver! I would suggest though, that you be careful when using it. Some codes can have a high chance of possibly ruining your game and/or gameshark. I suggest looking up a gameshark guide on sites such as gamefaqs or ign to get more info on which codes are the safest to use.

This Gameshark is great. Be sure that you do not turn on more than 10 cheats or the Gameshark will crash and require a replacement.

I have owned many different cheat devices since I started gaming and so far I have found gameshark to be the most reliable.

The way to operate the Gameshark is straightforward. The logic on how the codes work requires a bit of surfing on the internet; that is not described in the manual. You need to get ther proper hints on how to use certain codes and you discover that codes of a game in one language might differ respect the same game edition in a different language.

Without a careful read you might expect that the product includes the connection to the PC and an easier way to insert codes, etc.

The reason I gave this item 1 star because it diden't have any Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Leaf Green/Fire Red cheats, I was hopeing to use it on Pokemon Games but the only cheats I was only able to use it on was Yu-Gi-Oh ( Eternal Duelist Soul,World Wide Edition,The Sacred Cards,Dungeon Dice Monsters,e.t.c. - By the way ( BTW ) get an A-C-T-I-O-N R-E-P-L-A-Y i repat get the Action Replay ( GBA ) style to use it on Pokemon games to get every thing and be unbeatable by owning all single pokemon thats right all pokemon including Red,Blue,Yellow,Silver,Gold,Crystal pokemon like Bubasaur,Charmander,Squirtle,Chikorita,Cyndaquil,Totodile,Mew,Mewtow, and you can get NEW POKEMON like all RUBY,SAPPHIRE,FIRE RED,LEAF GREEN, EMERALD Pokemon like starting out with all 3 starters : Treecko,Torichic,Mudkip, caputre Deoxy's,Jirachi, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Rayquaza at lv. 2-3 the GameShark coulden't be able to use pokemon cheat codes to capture them like the Action Repalyer can : ACTION REPLAY vs GAMESHARK winner all ACTION REPLAY FANS.

My son played this for about 30 seconds and it stopped working. Their help line said we had overloaded it (seriously!!!) and that we needed to ship it to them so they could fix it. Give me a break. Piece of junk, don't buy!!!!!!!!

this gamshark, is so cool, i could get unlmited pokemon, or infinity HP! this is so awsome!!

game shark is the best game hacking sysetem ever! don't belive the comments that gameshark stinks. i own the product and most people don't understand how to use it!
