Nintendo 64 GameShark

This is an old item but it was a broken GameShark. I purchased the “very good condition “ for $45. The GameShark didn’t work and was an error code 8. Returning now. Seller knows it was faulty and shipped it out? Hope it was a oops on the seller part

This is a niche product. And as such I don't feel the need to go into much detail with regards to its purpose and functionality. As most people who are even considering this should already know what it does.For the layman, you put it in your n64 and you put the game you want to modify on top, before the game (would normally) starts you are greeted with several menus through which codes are entered, stored and activated. Codes can be found online and vary significantly in regards of how much they alert the game in question.I would recommend buying a used cartridge, as I have done. Buying a nodding device used will yield a higher probability of already having a plethora of codes already stored on it. This is useful because; A: entering codes is often a tedious and boring process. And B: As something like this is essentially a collectors item, said collector will likely already have a good portion of the games for which there are already codes.The downside to buying used is that you may encounter some glitches, apart from the glitches that will naturally occur if two or more entered codes conflict. For example; The cartridge that I bought will sometimes fade into darkness until the screen is completely black, only the amount of time until this happens will vary, but it almost always happens.Overall it is a great piece if hardware that any Nintendo collector should have.

Good

Only worked for a few games I own. I should have bought the newer version.

This doesn't happen to me too often from Amazon but there's always some bad apples out there. I received the product in less time than was expected, so that's great. But... took it to a friend of mine's because it wasn't working on my 64, and he rebuilds old and new gaming systems and sometimes is even able to fix cartridges from older systems, and after testing the cartridge on six systems, plus looking at it from the inside, he said it was unserviceable. The digital display on the cartridge didn't work, the thing was sent to me broken. I'm sure the seller probably just didn't test it before he/she sent it to me. No biggy though.

The Game Shark was really well packaged. I put it on with a game and it came right on into the menu to select the game and codes to be use. The product was in grate condition, better than expected due to the age of it. Thanks.

Worked sometimes and then it didn't work somtimes

It didn’t work and stayed at the number 8 and never counted down I tried it on two different Nintendo 64s one with an expansion pack and one with out and I tried multiple games and none of it worked. I just want a refund I sent it back and ordered another one
