Gateshark codes are cheat codes used by Gateway 3DS and are fairly similar to action replay codes because they edit RAM addresses while the game is running and thus temporarily patch in new features for as long as the cheats are enabled. If the code is disabled, the game reverts to normal and is playable as usual.
Enabling the cheats is fairly straightforward. Place a text file, one per game, containing the codes in:
/luma/titles/{titleid}/cheats.txt Where {titleid} consists only of the long titleid, which makes the folder:
/luma/titles/00040000001B5100/cheats.txt for example (the title id in the example is for Pokémon Ultra Moon Version). Or you could use the homebrew application Sharkive, if you don't want to mess with it yourself. If you do want to put them in yourself, the formatting of the files content are similar to this:
[Fast Pelago berry growth v1.2] 0044D94C E3A04000 0044D950 E5C14000 0044D954 E3A04001 0044D958 E5CC4000 [Island Scans uses no points v1.2] 00455678 E2400000
Add the cheat's title in brackets, then on each line below the code, then a blank line, and then the next code's title etcetera.
To use the cheats open the Rosalina menu (L+down+select per default), then select the cheats option, and lastly select the codes you want to apply.
