I Got My Gamesharks Working

[I Got My Gamesharks Working]

Oh cool! Well here is a video I made of a code I made on my gameshark. I just typed it in though. I had tons of fun with it. You can either download or open the file.

Enjoy!

[I Got My Gamesharks Working]

Well I have got the PC to communicate and detect my gamesharks, but I cannot read anything through them. Or off them.

[I Got My Gamesharks Working]

Yes, well thanks, but any pointers on communicating with the PC?

[I Got My Gamesharks Working]

Help with my first post?

[I Got My Gamesharks Working]

Thanks.

I cleaned it, and tried out inserting and booting my games one by one, after trying it with Cruisin' World. In the end I tried Cruisin' World again, and it booted the gameshark, after I cleaned the gameshark with my legitimate N64 cleaning solution. You can bet I will be hacking Goldeneye and Mario 64 to the tee now, baby! Also, I have another gameshark, but it's corrupted. I scroll down in the cheat menu and when I get to Mario 64 the Gameshark freezes. Now I can't even get it to the cheat menu at all. But it runs to the main menu, which means that I can reinstall the gameshark firmware or fix it with the PC right? I got my gamesharks to be detected by the PC, but I still can't read anything off of them with the Gameshark utilities on Goldeneye Forever.

I see.

Are you KIDDING me?!?! The best was Donkey Kong 64 by far!

[I Am Going To Try Something]

Hmm. What are the differences between R4 and N5?

[I Am Going To Try Something]

Any-who... yeah, they were developed in the same lab as I understand it, but they aren't interchangable.

Yes, strange isn't it? I mean, it should work. Why does it not?

[Help Finding A Parallel Data Transfer Cable (Male And Female)]

I don't mean to force you to do anything, and yes I have tried that on that page. There was a guy on the Goldeneye forums that helped me out. He told me I have to go get a certain game to unlock the key codes. I think I'll get Cruisin' World.

Yes it's the Pro 3.3

[Help Finding A Parallel Data Transfer Cable (Male And Female)]

Any ideas?

[Help Finding A Parallel Data Transfer Cable (Male And Female)]

Well I plugged in my gameshark to my PC with my new parallel cable,and I have it inserted into my n64 with Goldeneye on top. It is not being detected. I think it is because my gameshark is locked on a keycode and cannot access the menu. Does it ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO be accessing the menu to communicate with the Pc? and how do I know if I have the need serial drivers, and if I even DOING it correctly to begin with? I am using the Gameshark program provided on the goldeneye website. Also, any idea whereI can get some good deals on a new or used Gameshark Pro 3.3?

[Help Finding A Parallel Data Transfer Cable (Male And Female)]

Well, it's here. I go to pick it up at the post office.

[Help Finding A Parallel Data Transfer Cable (Male And Female)]

It should be here soon.

[Building N64 Controller to USB Converter]

Me too. But an N64 controller plug is different and would not fit the playstation and XBOX USB converters right?

[Building N64 Controller to USB Converter]

That sounds REALLY far fetched that Wal Mart would have that In Store.

[Help Finding A Parallel Data Transfer Cable (Male And Female)]

I'm going to be soooo angry if it does not work.

[Building N64 Controller to USB Converter]

To go from N64 to usb, you'll need some active logic - in this case, a microcontroller. You can also actually interface one to the parallel port with very little hardware - there's a kernel module that will support it. I did this with an NES controller several years ago. I also have no clue if there would be a Windows driver for it - I was using it with Linux.

 

It's not a simple rewire job. If you do a bit of searching, I know there is info out there to build an adapter to USB - but you'll need to know a fair amount of electronics to build one. It will involve a microcontroller, and the programming thereof.

I see.

[Help Finding A Parallel Data Transfer Cable (Male And Female)]

Yeah, I realized that just last night. I got what I need, but my gameshark is not running the menu. From what I heard it has to run to the gameshark menu to be able to communicate with the PC through parallel. OMG I hope I did not waste $11.41, because if that's true.....

[Building N64 Controller to USB Converter]

Anyone think it possible to maybe modify my N64 controller and like solder a USB connector to the end of the cable, where my controller cable was?

[Help Finding A Parallel Data Transfer Cable (Male And Female)]

.......

 

I should have screwed the gameshark idea, and just bought a usb n64 controller thing. Then I could play it through my Pc. GRRR!

[Help Finding A Parallel Data Transfer Cable (Male And Female)]

Are you saying I have to buy something ELSE now? Oh geez.... *Facepalms*

[Help Finding A Parallel Data Transfer Cable (Male And Female)]

I am using Gameshark Pro 3.3

 

And I want codes for Goldeneye 007, but I also want to use codes for every game you know...

 

Yes there is a help section but it seems to be empty. Go figure. I click a topic and it's blank window.
