From the sharkery overview page:
The instructions for use of these codes tell you to keep the GameShark switch on, which causes the specified byte to remain constant

Isn't it two bytes, one per hex digit?

Each individual code modifies on byte of RAM.

No.
8 bits in a byte.
One hexadecimal digit contains 4 bits.

D'oh, you're right. I was thinking characters, not hex digits.

Yeah, bytes they're really cool. (pretends to know what the hell you're talking about).

I just made the mistake of mistaking hex digits, which take up one nybble of space, for characters, which take up one byte. </evil confusing mode>
