How to Install GameShark on the DS

GameShark is a cartridge designed to use and save cheats on video games for most of the major gaming systems, including the Nintendo DS. Players load the cheats and codes from specific GameShark discs or cartridges onto the gaming system via the system's memory card or internal memory and a USB cord. This is especially useful for players who cannot get past a level on their favorite video game or as a back-up in case of a game or system crash.

Things You'll Need

Windows 200 or Windows XP
100 MB disk space
