What Cable Connects the Action Replay to the PC?

Video gamers who want to take full advantage of their gaming experience with Action Replay cheat codes must be able to connect their Action Replay cartridges to their PC computers for the purpose of uploading game codes. If you bought an Action Replay cartridge from the store, it should have come with a PC-to-Action Replay cable. If not, you'll need to get one in order to upload the cheat codes you want.

Type of Cable
- Action Replay devices require a USB cord and a Mini USB cord to connect to a PC computer. As its name suggests, a mini USB cord is a cable with a smaller connector on one end that connects to the small port in the back of the Action Replay cartridge. Because both ends of the mini USB cord are male, it requires a USB adapter with both a female and a male end to connect the mini USB to the standard USB cable.
Using the Cables
- To connect your Action Replay to your PC, plug one end of the mini USB into the Action Replay cartridge and the other end into the adapter. You can then plug one end of the standard USB cord into the other end of the adapter and one end into an open USB port on your computer. Be careful not to exert too much pressure when plugging the mini USB into the back of the Action Replay cartridge, as this can cause your gaming system to eject it.
Cable Reorder Information
- If you no longer have the USB cords that came with your Action Replay cartridge, you can order a replacement directly through the manufacturer. To place your order, send a check or money order in the amount of $11.99 to the address below. The manufacturer also requests that you send a letter explaining the issue with your current USB cords.
