GBA Gameshark is great if you have a game that's impossible to beat! Just activate cheats and your on. You don't have to put in codes manually, just download them. It even has a button for slow motion for racing games for example. It's only for GBA, but that just means that you can have more codes for a single game rather than having a lot of codes for a lot of games. I highly recommend this to anybody who owns a GBA!

First of all it only works for GBA. It is similar to the latest GameShark Pro for GBC. GS ADV(GameShark Advance) has the dode saving system, allowing you to store codes on the memory. It also has a computer linkup cord and works wuith USB and other ports. It also has the exclusive GBA game trainer. This allows you to create your own GameSharkcodes. It has codes Pre-entered by Interact, to use for all the latest games. One great feature is the game snapshot, allowing you to save your game absolutely anyway! Even without getting to a save point! Along with its sleek, smooth, transparent body, and easy to navigate menus, it makes the perfect addition to any GBA players collection.

I give the GAME SHARK GBA s stars "Highly Recommended"
to buy this Game Shark for game system GBA ((IT IS WORTH THE MONEY IF YOU WANT TO BEAT YOUR GAME ON GAME BOY ADVANCE))

It's cool!!!! if your one of those guys that have a game that you can not beat use the game shark to cheat. Take doom the 11th level is like unbeatable use the game shark for all ammo and god mode this is somthing you will have to buy.

Please do not buy this product. It simply does NOT work. You can't enter new codes, download, or upgrade. Period. You actually can't even start the game once you put in codes so it's pointless and annoying. Don't even bother wasting your money. It just isn't worth the frustration.

this cheating device may have a few bugs but it still works on some games. The thing is if you like pokemon then action replay is best for you but if you like other games then use gameshark. I brought this product about 1 week ago and it worked fine but when I put my pokemon game it didn't, although it didn't freeze or mess up the game it still didn't work. Then I went tot eh codejunkies.com website and downloaded the upgrade to make my GS a AR v3 and it worked perfectly. The thing that is really cool is that if you upgrade your gameshark to an AR it doesn't have all the bugs that AR has!!! WARNING: UPGRADING YOUR GS MAY CAUSE THE CODES TO BE DELETED. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK

The Game Shark is the best ever!! Got a hard game ya cant
beat? Plug in the Game Shark. It will give ya anything from invincibility to infinate ammo. I give you my word, its a good deal!

After being a loyal fan to interact accessories, I am sorry to say I have finally been let down. The GBA Gameshark had my hopes held high with the promise of a snapshot feature and a game trainer but none of these programs have yet to be introduced in the programming. Second of all I try to stay current with the games as they come out unfortunately gameshark.com has not been updated for five months now. I am still waiting on codes for Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance. Last but not least I am very angry with the fact of the codes being encoded now so codes cannot be hacked without a built-in trainer. This product had a great beginning value but for me it has steadly decreased what good is the USB feature when codes are not being created to download.

I bought this on the promise of being able to download updated codes from the Gameshark.com website. This and many other features failed: 'Upgrade' feature fails, 'Search' feature fails on both pc interface and website, European codes not downloadable (unlike North American codes), and perhaps most frustrating of all, codes cannot be manually entered (b/c it's not possible to enter an uppercase letter character in the appropriate box in the pc interface!)

I could live with the poor instruction manual, lack of installation or usage instructions (e.g. what are the top buttons for anyway?). But my failure to make the device work at all means it goes straight back to the shop.

GameShark sux. I put it in and 10 minutes later it freezing my game and not working. Dont buy this. Your better off buying a Action Replay!

I got my Gameshark for the GB Advance system on 10-8-01 and tried out Castlevania Circle of the moon. Didn't work, checked the codes and compared them to the ones on the website and found out the master code was different, ok, so I changed that and it still did not work. I tried it with just 2 codes on, nothing.
so I tried Mario Advance, didn't work either. The sharklink for the computer worked ok. that was the only thing I did not have a problem with. I called into support and they had me run through the same things I already did. I have to send it back in and have them send me a new one. It also wiped out my 4 game saves on Castlevania and 2 game saves on Mario. (not impressed)
The other bad thing is that it is NOT Backwards compatible. So all of the gameboy color and gameboy games will not work with it.
So hopefully the Gameshark will work correctly when I get it back.
