How to Use USB for a Gameshark

Certain versions of the Gameshark cheat device for console video game systems allow you to use a USB memory stick to input cheats into specific games. If you don't want to use only the cheats that come pre-loaded on the device, you can download new cheats from the Internet and use them via the memory stick. You have to use the computer software that was included with the Gameshark device.

Instructions

- 1
  Plug your USB flash drive into your computer.
- 2
  Open the "Gameshark Media Manager" from the "Gameshark" folder of your "Start" menu.
- 3
  Drag the content from your computer that you want to use on your gaming console into the "Gameshark Media Manager" window. If you have downloaded saved games or cheat code files from websites, for example, click on the file you downloaded and drag it into the Gameshark window. If you want to use the Gameshark to play movie or music files, drag those into the Gameshark window.

  Click "Copy to Memory Card." From the window that opens, click the icon for your USB flash drive. This transfers all the content that you added to the "Gameshark Media Manager" to the USB flash drive. Depending on how much content you are attempting to add this could take up to 30 minutes or longer to complete.

  Remove the USB flash drive from your computer and plug it into your gaming console. Gaming consoles that support USB use with the Gameshark include the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. You will be able to access the content from your USB flash drive through the console's main menu system.
