Unleash the full, hidden potential of your classic 64-bit library with this authentic InterAct GameShark Cheat Code Cartridge for the Nintendo 64. Manufactured by InterAct during the golden age of retro gaming, the GameShark completely redefined the N64 experience by allowing players to bypass developer restrictions, modify game data, and access hidden content.

Whether you want to unlock every character in Super Smash Bros., explore hidden levels in Super Mario 64, activate infinite health and ammo in GoldenEye 007, or explore game-breaking debug menus, this powerful pass-through cartridge is an essential accessory. It is a fantastic pickup for dedicated retro collectors, speedrunners practicing specific setups, or independent gaming store owners looking to add high-interest, functional hardware directly to their retail counters or digital storefront walls.

Product Highlights

• Hardware Pass-Through Design: Simply plug your standard N64 game cartridge directly into the top slot of the GameShark, then insert the entire assembly into your console's cartridge bay to boot up the integrated cheat engine.

• Massive On-Board Code Library: Comes pre-loaded with hundreds of built-in cheat codes for the system's most iconic titles, saving you hours of manual programming.

• Integrated LED Display: Features the classic, bright red 2-digit LED diagnostic display window on the front face, providing immediate hardware feedback during the console boot cycle.

• Custom Code Programming: Easily input new, community-discovered Action Replay or GameShark hex codes manually using your standard N64 controller.

Important Usage Note for N64 GameShark Cartridges

Requires a Clean Connection: Vintage GameSharks are notoriously sensitive to cartridge connection integrity. If your N64 console or the game cartridge has dirty contact pins, the system may boot to a blank screen or a rolling display. For optimal performance, always ensure both your game cartridge and the console's expansion slot pins are thoroughly cleaned with high-purity isopropyl alcohol before insertion.

Item Condition Statement (Thoroughly Tested & Working)

This vintage GameShark cartridge has been fully cleaned, structurally inspected, and hardware-tested:

• Cartridge Casing: The signature gray plastic shell is physically solid, completely crack-free, and structurally intact. Shows only light, normal cosmetic scuffing and minor shelf wear consistent with historical 90s gaming use.

• Contact Pins & Slots: The top connector slot is firm and aligns perfectly. The lower 50-pin edge connector is clean, straight, and has been lightly polished to ensure high-conductivity data transfers with your console.

• Storage Environment: Maintained strictly inside a smoke-free, pet-free, and climate-controlled hobby environment completely away from direct sunlight, dampness, or harsh UV exposure.
