The gpSP program is an emulator that allows you to run GameBoy Advance (GBA) games from your PSP handheld system. The emulator is ideal for GBA owners whose system is currently being repaired or is lost. The program runs games exactly as they were meant to run on the Gameboy Advance, and the program even contains a built-in cheat creator. The creator is compatible with many cheat codes systems, including Gameshark and Action Replay.

Open "Notepad" from the "Accessories" folder of the "Start" menu.

Type the model of your Gameshark code: "gameshark_v3" without the quotation marks. The model of the Gameshark device on the gpSP creator is "gameshark_v3."

Press the "X" button on "Load Cheat File," and locate the .cht file you created. Once the file has finished uploading, it will return you to the game's cheat menu where you can activate or deactivate the cheats you created. The uploading process usually takes just a few seconds, unless you have extremely large cheat files with thousands of codes included.
