Instruction Manual for GameShark™ Pro
For use with the PlayStation™ game console
Version 3.2
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have purchased the ultimate game enhancer for the Sony
PlayStation™ game console that will take your gaming to new levels of fun and
excitement. The GameShark Pro allows you to add codes and enhancements to your
PlayStation games that you once thought were impossible. Find new levels in your
favorite games, gain infinite lives and modify the game to your specifications.
The GameShark Pro is completely menu-driven. You don't need to add codes letter by
letter, or number-by-number, every time you turn your machine on. All you need to do is
highlight the enhancement you want to use and start playing games like never before!
The GameShark Pro is also more technologically advanced than any other game enhancer
on the market today. It promises to take your gameplay to higher levels and will
revolutionize your gameplay-arming you with the power to load the most devastating
codes available and even showing you how to take things a stage further by creating your
own havoc-wreaking codes of destruction.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
GameShark (GS) Button
Also known as the GS Button. This button is used to enable specific GameShark codes
and access the Code Generator so that you can create your own GameShark codes. If the
GS button is required to activate a code, it will be noted in the code description.
How to Hack Like A Pro Video
This 5-minute video accompanies the GameShark Pro and will show you how to search
for and create your own GameShark codes using the Code Generator. Watch this video
and you will definitely be on your way to becoming a code hacking genius.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR START-UP
1. Turn off your PlayStation, and plug the GameShark Pro into the expansion port of
the PlayStation. This port is located at the back of the PlayStation and may be
covered by a small, plastic panel, which must be removed. Make sure that the
GameShark Pro is pushed firmly into place, and that the GameShark Pro label is
facing the front of your PlayStation.
