Talk:GameShark

message: "Interestingly, there is also a newer hybrid hardware unit for the Nintendo DS and the GBA Micro and SP models which work with both DS and GBA games as appropriate." is incorrect.  The model referred to here is the GameShark Duo.  In actuality it's a GBA Gameshark and a DS Gamesaves device.  It's two separate devices.
I corrected with
"There is also a GameShark duo product.  This package comes with a GBA GameShark, and a GameShark Game Saves device for the Nintendo DS which allows you to backup and restore saved games from a Windows computer."

thread_title:  Corrected an inaccuracy with models 

message: I made a statement under my own observations, I'm not quite sure if someone else can avoid this though: Putting an SNES cartridge into my N64 destroyed my N64 and Gameshark cartridge permanently. I stupidly thought it could emulate it. My Simcity SNES cartridge was fine however. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.231.239.122 (talk • contribs) 
I'm removing it until a site is made.  Wikipedia isn't the place for original research. Alvis 04:31, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the link to www.cmgsccc.com/, since it is an Action Replay site that has nothing to do with Gameshark.

message: This ariticle contained alot of information that's really about the GameShark Pro and I would like to expand on that GameShark Pro information. I can say here that I am a huge fan of the Pro versions. This article didn't contain alot of current information about the GameShark products available now which is what I was interested in when I looked it up. Also it had that incorrect tone warning at the top so I've re drafted the article which hopefully takes care of both problems. I've cited the source for the new product information and I rewrote the history based on the old article but we still need to find references for the information. If you are looking for information that seems to have been deleted, please check the GameShark Pro article.

thread_title:  Moving information to new GameShark Pro article 

message: The front of the article consists of spam thanking various people. And later on in the article : 
'About Most GameShark Hackers
Most hackers use more than one way to hack. Most know programming
languages such as binary/hex/octal, HTML and Perl, scripting languages, R300
Instruction sets, etc. HTML and Perl is included here because many hackers
want to use this language to create a website that has all their codes displayed.
You don't need to learn many of the things other than binary and hexadecimal
to hack better than the Pros.'
:That is not true either. Gameshark hackers don't usually study html, and all that stuff. Most don't reach this level of hacking.
::Further in the article it teaches you to use PC trainers. And then to hack with emulators, that stuff don't relate to Gameshark at all. I don't think this article would be endorsed by the gameshark makers and the references to emulators which creates the nessisity for ROM's makes this thing borderline illegal. I think this link should be deleted unless the article is revised or someone proves it should stay. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Iamstillhiro1112 (talk • contribs) 13:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

message: In the Brand History section it says that the rights to GameShark is owned by Maddogz, but it says in all other sections of the article that it is owned by MadCatz, Inc. I'm confused... I'm going to edit this out. 13375p34k3r 04:23, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  InterAct 

message: "One example is the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pack cannot be detected properly while a Gameshark is in the system, when using the cheat engine to make your own codes."
Kind of misleading.  It was 'detected properly' by the cheat device but the game wasn't allowed to touch it.  This was by design.  It copied the entire contents of RAM into the expansion cartridge in order to later do the comparison when searching for cheats.  This also meant that some games required an emulator and a PC in order for people without hardware debuggers (developer version of the system for example) to find cheats.  For a reference, just look in the manual or any of the code-hacking sites.71.196.246.113 (talk) 12:51, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Caveats 

message: Some of this article reads like a review of the product, and POV heavy. For instance the word "better" is used to describe the Gameshark compared to GameGenie and it goes on to compare the Gameshark to other products. It needs to all be cleaned up. Is there anyone looking after this article? Dancindazed (talk) 07:15, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Given that the Shark was released after the Genie, one would expect it to be better.  However, the answer to your question is "you are".  Chaheel Riens (talk) 07:51, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
