When I turn on my N64 i have the Gameshark in and i put in the game I turn on N64. Nothing loads up. The screen stays as it was as if i put it on the channel it is supposed to be on. If have game and no gameshark and it loadsup fine. The gameshark is 2.1. The game is super mario and harvest moon.

if you have any other games like mario 64 or james bond use those

Same thing with me email me at [email protected] if you solve your problem, I'd really like to know -_-'

niether your game or system is broken

gat a ps2

nothing to do but to insert the game you selected. If it is agameshark pro you mightbe able to plug it into the computer and download the n64 utilis

i had the same problem and i fixed it. simply load a game that does work with your gameshark, scroll down to key codes and scroll down to zelda. it will prompt you if your sure you have the game, say yes. shut off the n64 put in zelda and voila. it works. hope this helps.

The original GameShark for the N64 only works on certain games. During the N64 era, game creators would often include code on the game itself that prevented the use of a GameShark. It is possible that you can find a newer version of the GameShark that would work with this so called "blocked" games, but it might be difficult.

I'm assuming that this is the GameShark Pro for the N64. If so, the button is used to find and create your own cheats, such as infinite life, infinite ammo, etc...

To use this feature, start the game, say a first person shooter, and load into a level and when you are ready to begin playing, press the button. The GameShark screen will show up and you can say "search for code" or "search for changes" something like that and the game shark will run a diagnostic that it shows on the screen. A number will appear noting the number of lines of code executed since the game loaded. When it is finished, press the button again and it will return you to the game exactly as you left it. If you are trying to get infinite ammo, simply shoot once and press the gameshark button again to search for codes again. When it is finished, the number it shows will be much smaller, since much less lines of code have executed since the last run. Press the gameshark button again to return to the game and continue the process until you have only a few, say 5 or less, or even just one code left on the gameshark diagnostic. This code will be the one that dictates the amount of ammo that you have. By altering this code with the gameshark, you can either start with an extremely high amount of ammo, or have infinite ammo entirely. The key to this strategy is to do as little as possible between code searches so that you can quickly narrow down on the code that you trying to alter. Hope this helps.

put in oe of the working games and go to keycodes hit the A button and you can scroll through a list of games that need keycodes. Select the game and then turn your N64 off and then put the game you selected in the gameshark and turn it back on, it should now work
