The Action Replay is a cheating device brand made by Datel that is used for games and systems of all kinds. It is not licensed or endorsed by any game or console manufacturer.
While the GameShark was the most widely used cheating device in the late 90s, it was actually an Action Replay under a different name. However, Interact, the company whom distributed GameSharks, went bankrupt. After that, Mad Catz bought the name GameShark, and Action Replays were then sold to the public by their original name.
Use and function
Cheating devices such as the Action Replay are primarily used to enable, disable, or modify sections of a particular game's scripting code. By intercepting game code transmission between the game's software and the system hardware, Action Replay devices can change the gaming experience. The use of cheating devices to modify Pokémon games has been a popular practice since the games' release in the mid-nineties. Popular applications of the device include capturing unobtainable Pokémon, acquiring unobtainable items or mass quantities of items, and modifying Pokémon stats.
Although Action Replay can be helpful, it is also known to freeze the game occasionally and to cause minor problems. This is one of the main reasons why many players are opposed to them. Although codes that simply allow users to change levels, stats, and moves tended to be harmless, others like Walk Through Walls or codes enabling an instant full party of Legendary Pokémon can result in minor game glitches that may last forever, or maybe that would render the game unusable until the file is deleted.
Duo problems
In 2005, Datel released a new device for use with both the Nintendo Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS called the Action Replay Duo (also known as the Action Replay Max). This new device enabled users to modify GBA games like the ordinary Action Replay for GBA; however, it also had the ability to save DS games onto a computer using a USB cable. Using this method, users could backup and restore saved game files. However, the device does not recognize any Pokémon save data located in its slot, and has caused much outrage among fans for this reason. Despite numerous updates to the device, there has been no explanation given as to why the device ignores Pokémon games.
