Just acquired an original xbox that came with a gameshark. I'd like to be able to use it for a few games, mainly for unlimited ammo. Problem is I've heard gameshark saves can sometimes lead to issues. Can anyone here speak about their experiences with gameshark and whether or not its lead to gameplay freezing, save losses (or issues of that nature). Thanks.

If you're worried about your saves, don't cheat.
Simple as that.
To answer your question tho, make backups of the save if possible.

For the record if you have a working gameshark setup then you have all the tools necessary to softmod your xbox. Once there you can use the trainers, most of which do far better than the hacked saves that shipped with gamesharks.
That was also the route I went so I never spent any real time with a gameshark.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
