Game won't start/can't get past ''Game Boy'' logo on my GBA SP.

Seems like your game port is damaged.

That's normal. The gba will play all three generations of game boy games. The start up screen that comes up is that of whichever cartridge you are putting in.

hopefully you already figured this out but that usually just means you put the game in slightly wrong. the games can get touchy in their old age, happens with pretty much all my GBC games I have now. just try blowing in the open end of the game, insert it again and hope for the best. keep trying, it'll work eventually.

Unfortunately there are no gameboys that have memory "built in", so they device you have is either an imitation gameboy or a gameboy loaded with "hacked / illegal" software. Unfortunately these are very flaky and are known to have issues. You may want to talk to whoever you purchased it from, but it is definitely not a regular gameboy.

the website is given below to get a code from gameshark into the gba sp.

It is possible to buy another Screen for the GBASP, however it would probably be less work and less trouble just to go to your local Gamestop and buy a new SP for 40 bucks.

the internal part that you put the game on and it reads probably is broken or needs cleaning

Did you clean the contacts on the game as well as the system? You may also try setting the GBA back to it's factory settings by turning it on and holding down L,R,A,B and Start
