How do you make Action Replay codes that work?

Answer 1

Action Replay is a cheat engine.

On the PS2 version you had to enter the codes in manually (I believe this was the same for Xbox)

On DS you install (alternatively you can download) software on to your computer and then transfers the codes straight across. (PSP may also use this system however I'm unsure)On other versions they must be entered in (or downloaded) and there are a few parts:


Game Code
This must be entered first and tells the Action Replay just what you are playing using a serial code embedded into the Game


Cheats
This is the main part, You must type in/copy and paste in some cases, a bunch of code that means very little to anyone other than the code writers. The name is often manual with these two


Cheat Groups
Occasionally you'll find that the Cheat Writers group together similar cheats, e.g. "Levelling Up cheats" or "Health Cheats".


All in one
With these groups you occasionally can only select one (similar to a radio button on your browser) these are often in cases when the codes do a similar thing for example "Always Walk", "Always Run" and "Always Sprint". This is purely to not confuse the engine and glitch the game.


Action Replay codes can be found on Code Junkies (link at the bottom)


This is the general system (Picture Created on 03/12/09)

Answer 2

It's really easy to use. You simply insert the supplied Action Replay cartridge into your DS or DS Lite, and switch on. When prompted, remove the Action Replay card and replace it with your game card. Action Replay recognises the title in question and offers you the title's code list. It's that easy! They're great codes too. For example, codes for the ever-popular Pokémon Platinum, Diamond and Pearl include Max Cash, All TMs & HMs, Pokedex 100% Complete, Walk Through Walls, Infinite Health, One-Hit Kill and more.

I really don't know. people have told me you need a memory editor or something like that

Answer 4

The Action Replay works by actually hacking the programming code of the game and changing the way the game works.
