problems with zelda OOT/MM and N64 gameshark

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.nintendo (More info?)

I'll try to make this brief...

I have a standard n64 gameshark, and a gameshark pro.
I am trying to use either of these on both of the
zelda 64 games. It doesn't work. I put them in the
game shark, turn on the system and see just a black screen.

The game sharks work with other games, although the
pro seems to me to be a little more quirky and less reliable
than the standard one.

Is this a problem that anyone else has had?

Not sure what that is or how to do it.

I have only had my game sharks for a short while and
they were used with no instructions or videos. I basically
only bought them for memory card management. The first three
I bought were defective. I ended up with two different
versions because a dealer gave me a freebie after all
the problems I had had.

I downloaded a
game shark tutorial somewhere, I'll look to see if
it says anything about it. I'm not too optimistic, though.
