How to Save Games With DSi Action Replay

Datel's Action Replay series of video game cheat cartridges allows players to preserve game data, store cheat codes and access locked game features. The Action Replay DSi is compatible with Nintendo's DS, DS Lite and DSi models and links to the consoles through the DS game port. Using a MicroSD card in conjunction with the Action Replay cartridge allows players to back up saved game data stored on their DS cartridges and to restore the saved state in the event of an error or malfunction.
