9) Frequently Asked Questions – GameShark Cheats

Q: At a certain point in my game when I have cheats activated, the game acts weird/freezes. Why is this?

A: When activated, some cheat codes make the game you are playing do things different to when it is being played without codes. For example, if you activate a

“Make enemies not move” cheat, you may get to a point in the game where you need the enemies to move, in order for you to complete the game. This may cause the game to behave strangely.

Related Issues with Splinter Cell Cheats

Cell. This is because one of the enemies has to move in order for you to complete the level. It may cause the game to crash if the above event occurs.

Saves

Q: I tried zipping a Game save but it said “This type of file unsupported”. I also tried to copy it to another memory card but it came up with the same message. Why?
