Customer Reviews

Playing this game made me feel like a cheat.
Action Replay took a long time to set up and didnt have clear instuctions.
I downloaded some codes for Animal Crossing Wild World and began to play. when i shrank down my morgage aaaaaaaand paid it of i suddenly realised what id done. I was a cheat and i hated myself. If you have ordered this product its never to late to cancel.If you are about to order stop and think do you want to be a cheat ? From now on i will play every game by its rule and never use action replay again.If you have used this product and dont feel bad about yourself the you are not a nice person.
P.s I will pay of my morgage but give the money to my friends who have never cheated.

Useful, though occasionally annoying beyond belief...
Having read a couple of reviews, I was a touch hesitant about purchasing one of these, but went ahead and did it. I'm actually quite glad I did so, despite the hellish time I had getting the thing working.

Here's the rundown:

The manual is awful. Truly, unforgivably awful. It's partly incomprehensible, mainly as it gives menu names for functions when none are given on the system, and no pictures that link the what is actually happening. This makes it more than a little hard to follow.
The menus on the DS are graphical, and bear no relation to either the titles in the manual (no piccies in the manual showing "what's what" either) or their apparent function. It's like looking at wingdings font in shorthand. You do, on the other hand, get used to them.
The scroll function on the cheat list is slower than a sloth swimming in treacle.
The software is buggy, and maybe require you to spend upwards of two hours getting the thing to update your cheat list (as you are advised to do by the unforgivably awful manual).

However:

It works. Provided you have the patience to get it up and running in the first place, you'll be able to spend many happy hours cheating your way through your favourite games. Which is why I bought the thing in the first place.
There is a large selection of cheats online. Huge, in fact. Just ensure you delete the ones on the cartridge first, then upload fresh ones for games you want ONLY! Otherwise the first five minutes of use each time will be spent trawling through games you either don't own or have no interest in.

It's a little annoying to use, but hey, it does work (most of the time), and that's what matters. It's also probably the best known console cheating system out there, so you won't be running short on new cheats anytime soon. Bonus.

Very disappointing ....
Installed it OK but a key icon is missing from the DS screen. The instruction booklet is completely unintelligible to anyone without a degree in computer science. So unable to add any new codes manually.
