GameShark was a series of devices by InterAct and Mad Catz.
The original purposes of the GameShark devices were to allow gamers to input codes in order to enable cheats in video games and to work as import boot discs, on systems with region-locking, to allow games from other regions to be booted via the menu. InterAct licensed Datel's Action Replay devices for sale in North America under the GameShark brand name.
After InterAct went bankrupt in 2001, Mad Catz acquired the rights to the GameShark brand name. Subsequent GameShark devices were savegame devices rather than cheat devices. After this, Datel published the Action Replay devices in North America directly.
