How to Fix an Action Replay DSi That Says No Game Card Is In the DS

The "Action Replay DSi" accessory acts as a cheat device for various games created for the Nintendo DSi. Players may experience errors while accessing cheat codes for games through the Action Replay device, including prompts of "Unknown Game," or "Load Failed." Other errors, such as "There is no Game Pak inserted," "There is no DS Card Inserted," "DS Download Play," or "Pictochat" may result from improper reading of the Action Replay DSi accessory.

Instructions

  Ensure that you use the Action Replay DSi properly. The device must be inserted into the DSi into the DSi system. Turn on the system. A message will appear urging the player to remove the Action Replay device and replace it with a game card. Follow all on-screen instructions.

  Wait for any error codes to appear while the Action Replay device is connected to the system. Errors of "Unknown Game," "Load Failed" or no recognition of the game's insertion at all may indicate that the Action Replay was not programmed to give codes for that game. It may also indicate a counterfeit game.
