If you've purchased or know someone who has purchased a PlayStation in the past few months, you may have noticed that there's something missing. This would, of course, be the parallel port in the back of the PlayStation. So now you're sitting there thinking, "where does this dang GameShark plug in?" This is where the booming voice of InterAct comes in and says, "The memory card port, silly!"
The new GameShark CDX, which is in stores now, is 100% compatible with all models of PlayStation. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the GameShark CDX plugs into the memory card port on your PlayStation, so the parallel port is no longer needed. GameShark Pros (which plug into the parallel port) are still available, so please check your PlayStation to see if you have the newer, portless model or the older model with the parallel port.
If you like to hack your own codes, you can purchase the SharkLink Cable and download the free Hacking Utility (for PC) from the home page of this site. InterAct Accessories does not support the hacking feature of any GameShark, so please don't contact our consumer service department with hacking questions. And, as always, we recommend that you only use GameShark codes that come from this site - We are not responsible for nonfunctioning codes found on other, unofficial sites.
In Conclusion:
The GameShark CDX is compatible with all models of PlayStation, including models with no parallel port
All GameShark codes will work with the GameShark CDX. You will need to purchase the SharkLink Cable and download the free PC hacking utility from the official GameShark website, in order to hack your own codes.

InterAct Accessories Releases GameShark CDX: No Parallel Port? No Problem!
HUNT VALLEY, Md., Dec. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- InterAct Accessories, Inc., a Recoton Company (Nasdaq: RCOT - news), announced the release of the GameShark CDX today, which offers the same unbeatable combo of codes and system hacks found in previous versions of the GameShark, but now supports the 9000 series of the PlayStation® game console.
With the new version of the PlayStation® game console, the previously existing parallel port is no longer utilized, leaving previous GameShark and GameShark Pro owners with all that code-crunching power, but no way to unleash it on their favorite more recently-released games. With the new GameShark CDX, the problem is solved. With a simple and easy-to-use interface, GameShark CDX utilizes the PlayStation® game console's memory card slots and CD-ROM drive while continuing to offer all of the unique GameShark and GameShark Pro features that gamers crave.
``The release of the newer 9000 series PlayStation® eliminated the parallel port, so newcomers and veteran code hackers alike were left without the ability to exploit and connect their GameSharks,'' said Todd Hays, President of InterAct Accessories. ``Gamers have come to expect the immeasurable value of hacking and inputting from the GameShark line of products. The CDX offers a solution for all new PlayStation 9000 series owners, while still offering compatibility with older versions.''
One of the more innovative features of the GameShark CDX is the ability to unlock hidden data, artwork, soundtracks, and even full-motion videos that frequently may not be seen without playing the game to its completion. The GameShark CDX comes pre-loaded with over 1,500 codes and packed-in with the How To Hack Like A Pro video, a complete tutorial on using the GameShark CDX.
The GameShark CDX for the PlayStation is available now in all major toy and electronic retailers nationwide at the same low MSRP of $49.99.
