Advance Boy Game Game Shark Sp

GameShark is the brand name of a line of video game cheat cartridges and other products for a variety of console video game systems and Windows based computers. Currently, the brand name is owned by Mad Catz, who actively market GameShark products for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Xbox, Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance (including the SP and Micro models).

Caveats

Gameshark products have never been licensed or endorsed on the systems they were designed to work with, and have been known to cause glitches in games. Some common glitches are games locking up, crashing, behaving erratically or breaking functionality of other add-on devices on the system. One example is the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pack cannot be detected properly while a Gameshark is in the system, thus making unavailable the features it was meant to provide.

Brand history

Currently, the GameShark name is owned by Mad Catz, and the devices only exist to back-up and restore game saves.

Fall of InterAct

While the Game Boy device was first released, InterAct acquired the rights to sell Datel's Action Replay and Pro Action Replay devices in North America; these devices were sold under the GameShark and GameShark Pro names. InterAct released GameShark devices for the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Saturn, Dreamcast and Nintendo 64. After InterAct's parent company, Recoton, went bankrupt, the rights to the GameShark name were acquired by MadCatz, who relinquished the North American Action Replay distribution rights. Following this, MadCatz sold game save devices under the GameShark name instead of the traditional cheat device, and Datel marketed the Action Replay in North America Action Replay directly.
