Your 3.3 Gameshark has probably corrupted. This tends to happen when you use it a lot, or use keycode games. You can easily reflash the GS ROM by putting the bad cartridge on top of a working GS Pro with a functional parallel port, then using a PC to reflash. Here's a detailed article on the procedure:

I can reflash Gameshark carts for the cost of shipping too. Only problem is I'm in Canada.

Also, boosted, the button on the Gameshark is the "GS Button", it's typically used to activate cheat codes in-game. It's not an on/off button.
Definitely agree that reflashing Gamesharks is the way to go. I've had to do the ol' Gameshark stack 'n' flash before and I've managed to repair almost every one that has come through my shop! It's crazy how many of them need this, but I guess they are very old and were heavily used.

also the game shark is notorious for bad connection between the console and cart connectors. try cleaning the connection up on the game shark with some fine steel wool and use a cut box with alcohol on the end to clean the game connectors on the game shark. and clean your game and console too.

also version 3.3 was a budget cut model  there are no leds ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=8&threadid=105952 2019-07-10T14:48:20 -05.00 SnoopKatt 16 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=8&threadid=105952 2014-04-02T23:35:52 -05.00 SnoopKatt 16 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=8&threadid=105952 2014-03-28T17:12:05 -05.00 SnoopKatt 16
I actually got myself an old laptop JUST so I had a parallel port and the right ancient OS to properly flash a 3.2 Gameshark to version 3.3 (and also manage code lists far more quickly, aside from having to boot up an ancient laptop). ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=8&threadid=105952 2014-03-26T23:56:51 -05.00 SnoopKatt 16 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=8&threadid=105952 2013-06-25T14:49:11 -05.00 SnoopKatt 16 Originally posted by: SnoopKatt

Thanks for the info! That's really useful. I'm friends with the guys running a small game store nearby, so I'll ask them if I can borrow one. I'd mail it to you, but it's probably cheaper to buy another haha. Thanks for the offer though. My gameshark never had an LED, which is strange.
Yeah it's usually easier to get another Gameshark, but you'll be stuck buying replacement ones pretty often.

Your Gameshark Pro is one of the last, they lack the LED display and parallel port functionality. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=8&threadid=105952 2013-06-25T14:28:29 -05.00 SnoopKatt 16 Originally posted by: Guntz
