How to Use GameShark on VBA

In the same way that the Visual Boy Advance (VBA) mimics the operating system of the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance to play video games, it is also capable of mimicking popular cheat code devices (such as the GameShark, Game Genie, Action Replay, and Codebreaker) so you can use cheat codes with your games. These mimicked (emulated) cheat devices are included with the Visual Boy Advance program, require no additional downloads or installation, and are as easy to use as their hardware counterparts.

Things You'll Need

Visual Boy Advance program
Any ROM (video game)

Instructions

- 1
  Open the Visual Boy Advance program. Click "File," then select "Open." Select any ROM compatible with the emulator (only games in .GB, .GBC, or .GBA file format work with the Visual Boy Advance). Double-click it to begin running it.
- 2
  Click "Cheats," then select "Cheat List." Click on the "Gameshark" button in the cheat list window, enter the desired cheat code, and click "OK" to save it to the list.
- 3
  Set which cheat codes are active during game play by checking or unchecking the boxes next to them as you wish (entered cheat codes are turned on by default). Click "OK" to return to your game when satisfied.
