How to Use Action Replay to Load to a Nintendo DS

Virtually every gamer wants to master a game on his own without help or cheat codes. Nevertheless, cheat codes are valuable when you want to concentrate on one particular aspect or level of a game and do not want to spend hours reaching a certain point just to practice. When you want to skip a few levels, cheat codes can save you hours in getting to where you want to be in a game. Action Replay makes using cheat codes on a Nintendo DS easier than ever.
