Hi. I live next to a Wal Mart and am wondering which one of these is the right cable for me to buy to hook my game shark 3.2 up to my windows xp computer.

Will any of these work please? Thank you in advance.
I am excited, maybe I'll be the next gameshark map maker!

I do not believe any of those support full emulation, so none will work. Your best bet are laptop hubs, or full ports.

These adapters ONLY support printers. They are not a real parallel port, nor they can replace it's functionality. Their only use is for old parallel port printers and nothing else.
The technical explanation is long and complex, ask for it if you really need it and I'll try to explain it to you.

As SubDrag said, the short anwser is no, they won't work with the gameshark. You need a real paralell port in your computer's mainboard (or maybe a PCI controller card with parallel port, but I'm not too sure about those).
