ADDING NEW CODES
To add new codes to your GameShark®2, you must first add the title of the game if that title does not already exist in the pre-loaded list of games. Also, you will need to make sure that your GameShark® memory card dongle is inserted into Memory Card Port #1.
ADDING A GAME TITLE
To add a game title, choose Select Game from the Main Menu and select New Game – and press X to confirm. The Add New Game Menu will appear. You will be presented with a box filled with letters, numbers and symbols. Use your D-pad to select the characters of the game name you are entering and press Select on your controller, select SAVE and press X to confirm this will save your new entry to the Select Game List. If you need to backspace whilst entering your game name press Triangle.
ADD NEW CODE MENU
Once you have added the title of your game to the Select Game List, it’s now time for you to add your new codes to the GameShark®2!
As soon as you’ve saved your New Game name you’re straight into the Add New Code MENU from which you can enter codes to use with your newly entered game. This is where you will give your new codes descriptions. You will probably want to name your new enhancement codes after their functions.
For example, if a code gives you a large number of lives, you may want to name that code "Infinite Lives."
Enter the description of the code as you did earlier when entering the title of the new game.
When you’ve finished entering the name of the code press Select on your controller to take you to the left of the screen.

If you do not wish the code you are entering to be active whenever you play that particular game with GameShark2 then select Default Off.
Then highlight SAVE and press X to confirm.
ENTERING CODE VALUES
After you have entered a description for your enhancement code the cursor will move to the Add New Value window
Modify the code value you are entering using the Left and Right on your D-Pad to highlight the digit you want to change and Up and Down to change the value.
Press Select when you have finished entering your code value.
Most codes will be a one line combination of 16 digits, but some codes may be 2 lines or longer. Individual codes can sometimes be quite long, so a bit of concentration may be required!
To continue adding code values for the title select New Value and repeat the above sequence.
You can add additional codes to any game simply by selecting the game, highlighting
New Code, pressing the X button and following the entry steps as above. NOTE: Each code is usually only one line, and each code should have one description.
Do not make the mistake of entering all of a game title’s GameShark2 codes into one description. Enter a description for each code you add.
DELETING AN ENHANCEMENT CODE
If you want to delete an enhancement code, simply highlight the description of the code press Select on your controller – highlight Delete Code and press X to confirm. A message will appear asking if you are sure you want to delete the code. Use the D-pad to highlight Delete Code and press the X button to confirm.

Delete Game button. You will be given a choice to Delete Game or Cancel. Highlight Delete Game and press the X button. The game and its codes will disappear from the list.
