While the [[GameShark]] was the most widely used cheating device in the late '90s, it was actually a rebranded Action Replay. However, Interact, the company who distributed GameSharks, went bankrupt. After that, {{wp|Mad Catz}} bought the name GameShark, and Action Replays were then sold to the public by their original name. There are currently three different models, the original DS version, the DSi version, and the more current version, the newly released 3DS version. | While the [[GameShark]] was the most widely used cheating device in the late '90s, it was actually a rebranded Action Replay.

When the user turns the game back on, the trigger which prepares the execution of the code may not cause the game to freeze, and if successful, the user will be able to resume play. If the user has used an Action Replay and wishes to play their game without the use of codes or to fix problems and glitches caused by the codes, they can restart their game file. | If one uses too many codes at once, the probability of freezing rises.
