VBA gameshark codes

[Baggerschmakle]

Whenever I try to input any gameshark codes in VBA, I get a dialog box that says "Invalid GSA code. Format is XXXXXXXXYYYYYYYY." I've played around with the codes alittle but I have very limited knowlege on this. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

My advice is to try code breaker, in my experience it works a little better.
Heres a link.

SegNin explains here how to use the codes on VBA:

For Gameshark, codes are generally XXXXXXXX:YYYY

The 8 X's are a RAM location where the game stores a given piece of information, say your characters HP or Max HP.
The Y's are usually a quantity, anywhere between 0 and FFFF, which =65535.
So when I open up The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap and check my code list I see the code 02002aec:0005 which means that I always have 5 bombs.

I have a bit of experience with Gameshark codes so maybe I can answer some questions for you.
