Instructions
Check that the connection between your Nintendo DS and the Action Replay DS or game cartridge is secure. Many errors are the result of simple loose connections. As Action Replay DS is an unofficial product and not manufactured with Nintendo's authorized materials, the cartridge may sometimes not fit snugly into Nintendo DS. Fix a loose-fitting cartridge by wrapping the cartridge in electrical tape.
Make sure you are running the latest version of the Action Replay DS Code Manager software. Download the latest version of the software from the Resources section and install by unzipping to your desktop and running "Setup.EXE." This will fix compatibility issues between Action Replay DS and your computer.
Delete corrupt codes from your Action Replay DS, as these can cause the device to malfunction. Connect the device to your computer and browse the "My Codelists" pane in the lower right-hand corner of the Code Manager window until you find the latest codes you have added. Delete the last codes you added to the device before it stopped working correctly then reset your Nintendo DS.
Update the firmware on your Action Replay DS device by inserting the device into your Nintendo DS and connecting to your computer using the device's USB cable. Turn on your Nintendo DS while holding "A" and "B" and click the green "Mouse" icon to put the device into Updating mode. Start the Action Replay Code Manager software from your desktop or the "Action Replay DS" section of your "Start" menu and click the "Software Upgrade" icon in the top right-hand corner of the window. When the progress bar disappears, click the icon again to transfer all the latest software and firmware to your Nintendo DS. Reset your Nintendo DS to use the device.
Contact Codejunkies if the above steps do not work. If your Action Replay DS is not fixed by clearing defective codes or updating the firmware, it may be defective.
