How to Make Game Shark Codes Work in a VBA ROM

Visual Boy Advance is a popular video game emulator for the Nintendo Gameboy Advance. In addition, VBA plays the original Nintendo Gameboy games and Nintendo Gameboy Color games. VBA has many features, such as a built-in GameShark, which is a cheat cartridge or CD that you use to enter your own cheat codes on a game that has GameShark codes. If you have a VBA, and you would like to make GameShark codes work in a VBA ROM, you can enter your codes manually on the game emulator yourself.

  Run VBA and then click "File," and "Open Gameboy" to run a VBA ROM.
