Why cant you add games to your action replay ds?

Answer 1

Answer

It may be because you need to update your cheats, as the game ID and cheats need to be on the Action Replay's file or it won't recognise it, or have any cheats for it.

Answer

the action replay doesn't break if you take care of it, and if it isn't reading than simply take it out, blow on the end that you put in the ds and do the same for the game.

just remember not to use the cheats too often or your game might freeze

Answer

The Action Replay will not read pirated games

Answer

If your Action Replay DS is bricked, it won't start up. if that happens, you'll have to use a flash cart and update the AR's firmware

idulkoan-

it depends on what your doing. try blowing in the slot. blow on the slot 1 card. (DO NOT LET SALIVA IN!!!) if error still occurs, get a flashcart, (i prefer R4), and download the AR's firmware (if ar is bricked) and update the ar. also check your ar, because it might have ended up like mine. mine was melted and inside a chip blew up. that caused my updating via wire to not work. it always ended up like this:

error!

error!

Answer 2

Action Replay DS UnreadableYour Nintendo ds could be broken, unlikely though, or your action reply could have corrupted memory. Try connecting your action replay to your PC, and updating it's firmware with the Action Replay Code Manager software.

If unsuccessful, try contacting codejunkies.

Try the following in order:

Try 1) With the end of the cable that plugs into the Action Replay disconnected from the AR, take a good look at the connector. Half of the connector is plastic, while the other half is metal. Be sure to plug the cable into the AR with the PLASTIC side UP (UP is in respect to the top and bottom of the DS while the AR is plugged in. UP means towards the lid of the DS, while down would mean towards the bottom of the DS where the battery cover is located). The plug will fit in with either side up, but the connection between PC and AR will only work one way.

Try 2) If you are running Wndows Vista 64, then your PC will not be able to read the AR/DS. Sorry.

Try 3) Be sure that you:

a) Plug the AR into the DS while the DS is OFF

b) then power the DS up and let the AR load up

c) plug the smaller end of the USB cable into the AR with the plastic half up (as described in Attempt 1).

d) Then, plug the USB end of the plug into the PC.

e) Press the Mouse icon on the DS's AR menu.

Try 4) Unplug the Ar/DS from the PC and reboot the PC. After the reboot has completed, follow Attempt 2 again before continuing onto Try 4 if no success.

Try 5) Try plugging the USB end of the cable directly into the PC itself (meaning, anywhere on the computer itself, NOT in USB slots on monitors or USB Hubs).

Try 6) Uninstall the AR Device Manager from the compuiter, reboot, reinstall, reboot again and then repeat Try 2 one more time.

Try 7) Now call Datel's customer support via www.codejunkies.com

I hope this helped. I had the same problem and turned out that I just needed to do try 1. Took me hours to figue that one out. The end of the cable that plugs into the AR has a slight design flaw IMO.
