My son wanted so badly this product to hack his Pokemon game. The product is good, delivering what was promised, although there are some hacks that get lost after powering down de Nintendo DS. The software installs OK on WinXP, but the instruction booklet is a bit confusing, for example: it is not clear that the Action Replay DS must be inserted in the Nintendo DS, with the cable attached to the device and plugged into a USB slot on your computer, and the Nintendo DS must be then powered on for your computer to "see" it and to enable you to update the device... Updating the codes from the web only worked from codejunkies.com website, but this worked fine.
Good buy!
ONE MONTH LATER UPDATE!!
It stoped working!!! So I give one star to it.

First, a preface:
Father's day is here and my 11 year old has been giddy all weekend because she has gotten me the perfect gift. She's went to three different stores to find one with it in stock (she doesn't have a credit card, so no amazon) and found it. Took it out of the obnoxious hard plastic shell the put it in, repackaged it, and on sunday morning was so excited. And so was I, I'd been talking about getting one for a while.
And here my troubles began.
Break it out and start following the directions on the package to install the software. Seems to go very smoothly. No problems. Install the driver after plugging in the device through the supplied USB cable. No problem. Open the software and then attempt to connect to the AR. No joy. Double check the driver. All good there. Hrm, I'm already on XP (so anyone thinking vista, quit) but decide to try it on another PC. Same thing. Seemingly smooth installation, but no joy on linking the software with the AR. I'm getting really worried I'm not going to make it work and that it's going to bum my daughter out who went through a lot of trouble to get this for me, so I persist. Manufacturers web site -- 2 faq entries, neither helpful. I can call (tommorow) or email. No way. Start search the interwebs, nothing. Finally I come up with the magic search terms (1.60, which is the revision ended up being what helped) and then find a gem of a post on yahoo answers. Someone else had had the same problem and gotten an answer from codejunkies.
And the problem: Whoops, we put the wrong software on the CD we sent out with the AR.
"FIRMWARE VERSION 1.60 OR ABOVE
Unfortunately, the incorrect drivers were included on the Action Replay DS disc that came with your product. "
This email you will get from codejunkies will have a URL to install the correct version (with instructions). Went through this process and IT WORKED.
But the rub is that I had to scour the internet to eventually find this. Nothing listed in the support FAQ pages at the codejunkies site. So basically if you buy one of these today you're going to HAVE to get technical support (or for you folks at home put 1.60 in with your "ar will not connect" search term) to make the thing work. It sucked.
Oh, works great now that it's installed, but sheesh!
Url to instructions and link to fix (hopefully this is not considered spam and removed):

The item came quickly, which surprised the hell out of me since I didn't even get an email that said 'Your order, number [whatever] has been shipped!'
BUT I must be the ONLY person who can't get this! I'm frustrated. I don't know what I did, but all it wants to do now is update. It's on that screen on my DS for ever and nothing happens. I can't figure out how to get the codes to work since I can never get the 'GO!' Icon you're supposed to see. And I can't figure out how to make anything work.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, but I can't get it to do anything. If anyone has any suggestions, tips or advice, I'll take it. I want to be able to USE the codes/cheats I bought the thing for. x_x

Installed SW on Windows XP, it recognized the Action Replay but the Action Replay refused to recognize the PC. My son still wanted to use it since it comes pre-loaded with "cheats" but then it lost all its memory. It is now an Action Return.
