How do I Get New Games on Gameshark DS?

Old GameShark N64 modules plugged directly into your gaming console, and the plug-in device modified games with special cheat codes, characters, gameplay tweaks, and saved games. On the Nintendo DS, the process works differently. GameShark̵7;s cheat codes and other files are managed individually on your PC and added to your DS cartridge afterward. In order to add new games to the GameShark DS cartridge, you need to install and navigate GameShark̵7;s DS computer software.
