For the most part, people have been complaining about it not coming with a CD and it not working. These people are not very tech savy. Yes it is supposed to come with a CD to download the Code Manager software which allows the codes to be put into the Action Replay. I recieved mine without a CD like everyone else it would seem; but this is not by any means difficult to fix. It's easily downloadable from Datel's Customer Service section on their own website. Their new version of the software also gets rid of the "Error 52" that people have been experiencing when they first download the software which essentially wouldn't read that you had your Action Replay plugged in. There are MULTIPLE YouTube videos which explain how to update your Driver so it'll read your Action Replay. Once that's complete then you'll be able to input your own codes into your Action Replay.There's tons of rules when operating the Action Replay. 1) Do not have the Action Replay in your Nintendo DS...Read more

Well, sure enough - the first thing I did was plug in my 3DS DSi AR (Mouthfull huh? It's the AR DSi that WORKS well, on the 3DS) and fire it up. I was given an error message, and told to hold the power button to power off the system. I tried again, and again, and again - same issue!! I then popped it into my DS, and it worked on the first try :( Now - when I bought this, I only had a 3DS (Recently bought a used DS for cheap to transfer pokemon, etc.....), so the major factor was it's compatability. If this...Read more

At first, I was hesitant to buy this. But I took a risk and bought it despite the negative reviews. And let me tell you… I don’t regret it.There is a few things you need to know about this product if you intend to use if for your 3DS.1. Nintendo is not fond of hackersDon’t expect to Plug and Play. After you open Action Replay, you need to plug it in to your computer and go to their website (inside the box).2. You need to be computer literate to operate this softwareFor this tool to work, you’ll have to get to work on your computer. Don’t worry it will only take a few minutes to set it up. First, download “3DS Compatible Action Replay Firmware Update” on their website (under SUPPORT). Not doing so, will make the Action Replay unreadable to the 3DS (hence all the Negative reviews on this site). Your Action Replay should now be readable to the 3DS. Choose the codes you want and play your game...Read more
