| I'd still be playing Perfect Dark on the N64 if it wasn't for the controllers MORE THAN CRAPPY (tm) joystick.
Seriously. My old gameboy still works perfectly tho. If only Link's Awakening was fine (dead save battery, I think) |

Originally posted by Bloodstar I haven't even been able to get a Gameshark to work with my N64. I've picked up 3 different Gamesharks (two are V3.2 and the other is V3.1 I think) and no matter what I do I can't get them to work. I've searched for solutions although it seems that once it's locked it can't be unlocked unless you attach a certain game to it  .____________________  |

 What games do you have? More than one game can unlock the Gameshark, although it does depend on what game the Gameshark has been set to.
It's also possible the connectors are dirty, so try cleaning them out and see if that makes it work ____________________ #51 |

I have a lot of N64 games and I tried almost all of them with the Gamesharks but they still won't work. I have also tried cleaning all three of them and it hasn't made a difference  .____________________ |

| You also cleaned the connector inside the N64 and the game cartridge connectors, right?
It could be that the cartridges have to be tilted a certain way for it to work, just like mine. Or it could be that someone thought the Yoshi's Story boot code would be a good idea. Apparently, it doesn't work with very many games. ____________________ #51 |

| I never clean the connectors inside the N64 although other games always work 100% of the time (although the Gameshark obviously isn't like "other" N64 games ). Also what do you mean when you say that it has to be tilted a certain way for yours to work (It naturally stand straight up so I'm guessing that you push something against it to tilt it while the power is on?). ____________________ |

| I push the Gameshark so it's tilting backwards or forwards and do the same (or opposite) for the game connected to it, and eventually I get some combination of tilting that allows it to boot. It doesn't tilt very far, but it's enough to make a difference. It stays tilted far enough without anything pushing against it.
Keep in mind that this is on a system that has no connection issues other than with the Gameshark. ____________________ #51 |

The original NES Game Genie was a bitch and a half. Trust me, you NEEDED to keep your NES in good shape (like me) or run into the problem of games only working when hooked up to the Game Genie.  ____________________ Colin's Babble... er, blog.  |

Originally posted by Colin I know exactly what you mean. There was a time when I was using Game Genie almost every day until I realized that it was bending the heck out of the connectors inside of my NES . ____________________ |

| Anya: Well, the problem is that a lot of people were lazy and just kept using the Game Genie on the NES even if they weren't going to put in any codes.
Not the smartest idea in the world for your poor system. ____________________ Colin's Babble... er, blog. |

| Not a bad find; for a split second I thought it was the DKC2 pirate cart for the NES.
I liked renting Baby Mario (Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa) and SMB2j at the video store when I was young; you know, when pirate carts turned up in the strangest places. ____________________ Colin's Babble... er, blog. |
