Quite frankly, action replay is a useful product designed to help you in virtually every video game scenario. The reason I gave it a 4 is that sometimes, putting too many codes can corrupt your saved file. This makes it limited. However, it is still an outstanding cheat system.

My son whined for weeks to get an Action Replay for his Game Boy Advance. I checked the Amazon reviews, and was amazed how poorly the product was rated. Regardless, the "tooth fairy" provided my son his cherished Action Replay, and it has been a veritable nigthmare ever since.
First, the instructions, while impressive in several foreign languages, are utterly useless. The device includes a button and a slide-switch, for which there is no mention in said instructions of their purpose. Furthermore, the device is not "Plug and Play" which, in short, means it is hit or miss with compatibility to your computer system.
The first time I inserted the software, provided on a mini CD, I had to immediately visit the Datel website in order to get an upgraded version (the product they ship is already outdated). While upgrading, my system crashed, and I nearly lost my entire IBM ThinkPad T22 Lap Top, as it would not reboot until I removed and replaced the battery. Upon further review, I realized that the product was developed by the British, which left me pondering, "What was the last succesful software product invented in the UK?" - I couldn't think of any....
Anyway, after rebooting, I could not get the device to synchronize with the lap top which meant my son was not going to obtain any new codes. And after four hours of screwing around with this British-made piece of crap, we put it back in the box so we could return it, then went outside and had some real fun playing wiffle ball.

works well for a while, but after about a month you get an error and it doesn't work anymore. i have had no success in finding a way to fix it. not worth paying 20 bucks for.

The reason i gave it 4 stars was because of few things. For ex. i'am playing pokemon ruby and it already has some codes for you. If you want to complete your pokedex and have a collection without trading w/ your friends you need to download them. The good thing about it is it brings its stuff to download it in. (cable for action replay, computer). Oh yea i almost forgot when you get action replay DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT ACTIVATE "GET ALL KEY ITEMS" OR "BERRIES" BECAUSE IT WILL DAMAGE YOUR WHOLE GAME AND YOU MIGHT EVEN HAVE TO BUY A NEW RUBY OR SAPPHIRE.

When I bought my Action Replay an used it for the first time on Pokemon Sapphire it worked great. Then I expanded it's uses to a variety of games. Recently though, when I download codes for Fire Emblem from the internet to my AR it goes to 502/3200 and crashes, the download stops and as an added bonus :| it wipes my AR clean. So I might buy a GS instead.
