Because the developer hasn't written the software for the device yet, nor the kext file for the device. The only operating systems the action replay desktop link was written for was windows based operating systems.

If you would like to run the action replay software you will have to do the following:

Set up a Windows XP / Win7 installation beside MacOS using bootcamp.

OR

Set up a virtual machine running WINXP as a guest OS and forward the USB port to the Virtual machine allowing the device to connect to the guest OS. This process may require root access to the MAC OS hardware and is a lot more difficult.

Also please refrain from personal attacks on other users.

How do you get your new action replay ultimate cheats for Pokemon platinum working?

There is, unfortunately you will have to research the codes up yourself on sites such as cheatcodes.com or other places. Only reason is because there are so many. Then watch a Youtube video on the situation, and it should be very straightforward. I recommend not using Codes until you've beaten as much of the game as you possibly can without them.

How do you update a action replay on a mac?

You can possibly update the Action Replay for the DS on your mac using a program called Boot Camp or Parallels. Both programs enable you to install windows onto your mac, with Boot Camp you have to choose to use your mac as a mac or as a PC, with parallels you can run both OSX and XP or Vista side by side. However, your mac needs to have Intel duo processor. So if you have a Mac Book or Pro or any of the newer macs, you should be able to make the Action Replay work on mac. Edit: Actually, it is possible. Just don't put the small mini-DVD in there, it'll screw your Mac up, just burn the data onto a big disc. There is no way to. The small disc won't fit in the Mac. Believe me, I know, my friend jammed an action replay disc in my iMac and we had to get it repaired add: I had the same problem for stupidly trying, but I luckily got the disc out using some vertical displacement shaking the MB pro until the disc fell out. I think I may have stuck a cotton wool bud stick in as well. But here's something useful. I made a copy of the small Action Replay Disc on my old laptop with the disc trays. Burnt the copy to a normal sized disc. Installed it in Windows in Bootcamp. Gotta Catch-em All. add: my disk got stuck too but i managed to get it out with a paper clip which only damaged the compact disk not my mac but i do not recommend doing this or even trying to get one in your mac unless you have a normal sized burnt copy
