Action Replay (Gamecube)

Product Information

NOTE: DLC or online access codes may not available and may require additional purchase on preowned games. I remember reading about the Tokyo Game Show among other shows in magazines years back and having a sense of delight and amazement. Datel’s product provides anything from quirky, pointless alterations to unlocked secrets to gameplay tweaks to infinite life or ammo hacks. As a first visit to any kind of games show, it was going to be very interesting to see what all the fuss was about.

Soon they released the Universal Adapter, which allowed any SNES from any country to play games from any other country. If you’ve got your US/PAL card in the slot and you’re playing a Japanese game that prompts you to save, DON’T DO IT, as it will format your memory card. Overall: A product that has plenty of cool features, but is very sloppily-put-together and doesn't even work on most Gamecube consoles. One lesser-known feature of the Action Replay is that it doubles as a FreeLoader, Datel’s mod-free import-unlocking GameCube disc.You can check the game's region by looking at the top of the "Properties" window (screenshot above). The sixth-generation console is the successor to the Nintendo 64 and competed with Sony Computer Entertainment's PlayStation 2 and Microsoft's Xbox.

Datel’s system supports all games, and new codes will undoubtedly pop up whenever a new game is released.

Once you've done this you'll see the same sort of layout that I have in the screenshot above where each game is listed with its banner, region, maker and more information about it. When you boot up the device, you’ll be greeted with the Datel disclaimer screen (since the device is very much unauthorised and frowned upon by Nintendo), and then the main menu. Just insert the special memory card into your GameCube, stick in the Action Replay disk, and choose from a huge range of pre-loaded cheats. Finally, an easy (and cheap) way for anyone in the world to play games from anywhere else in the world. Try and make sure that you are typing in the number zero and not the letter O when required and that your 2`s and Z`s are not mixed up.I was pleasantly surprised to find it had arrived in a re-usable DVD case rather than the blister packaging in the photo. Pictures and other information online indicate that my "AR" originally had just a special memory card without an SD card slot. Something to keep in mind is that some codes are meant to be turned on temporarily and then turned off so they do not interfere with the gameplay.
