  • Question
    What if the bottom screen turns red after the action replay boots up?
    Community Answer
    This means that you need to either reset the cartridge, or update your Action Replay to the latest firmware- both of which can be done by connecting the AR to a Windows PC and downloading the code manager from Datel's website.

    What do I do if this doesn't work?
    Community Answer
    Get a new Action Replay. If none of the fixes above work, yours is most likely irreparably broken.

    What should I do if the screen turns white after I select the codes and press start?
    Community Answer
    You should clean the metal prongs with a q-tip or cotton ball with rubbing alcohol. More information is in step 3 on solution 1.

  • Question
    Can I get the action replay code manager on a Mac?
    Community Answer
    No, unfortunately not. You can download the application on a Mac, but the app itself is Windows-only and cannot be run on a Mac OS.

  • Question
    If these options did not work, what else can I try?
    Community Answer
    The new version of the DSI 1.4.4U does not allow chest cards. You are going to need to factory restart and remove all your updates for the Action Replay to work, then follow the steps above.

    On my NDS codes, I pressed delete all and it disconnected half way through. Now it won't let me write any games on it at all and wont reset. What do I do?

    Community Answer
    Delete all the apps all over again from the DS eStore and put them all back on. Be sure to take a picture of them before you do it so you know what to restore.

  • Question
    What can I do if my Nintendo is not reading the R4 card?
    Gavin Truesdale
    Community Answer
    All you have to do is take the R4 card out and put it back in. Then power off the DS and turn it back on and it should be able to read it.

    Is there a way I can fix the action replay when I have lost the cord and when nothing else works?

    Yes you need to download the app called the metal detector app. This helps you find anything that comes with your device.
