Your Action Replay DS hardware may require resetting if you are experiencing any of the following problems:

* Code Manager PC software is reporting that Action Replay DS does not contain enough free space when it actually contains no codes.

* Code Manager PC software is reporting the console`s battery is low when it’s actually fully charged.

* Multicolored bars are shown on the screen after you confirm the entry of a game ID when trying to manually enter codes.

* You can use the Code Manager PC software without any problems until the Action Replay DS is connected via USB set to the update mode on the console, at which point Windows shows a run time error.

If you are experiencing any of these problems, please follow the steps below to reset the Action Replay DS hardware. Please beware that resetting the Action Replay DS hardware will not restore a default codelist, and any codes which are stored on the Action Replay DS will be erased.

1. With your console powered off insert the Action Replay DS

2. Hold down buttons A+B

3. Turn your console on

4. With A+B still held down, as soon as you see the Action Replay DS license screen press and hold down buttons START+SELECT so that you now have 4 buttons held down

5. Hold all 4 buttons down for around 10 seconds until the Action Replay DS loads to it`s home screen

6. If Action Replay DS doesn’t hold on the license screen for around 10 seconds when you do this, you may need to turn off and try again

Please make sure that you are entering the Game ID correctly. Follow these steps to find the Game ID before beginning the code entry process: •Turn on the Nintendo DS with the Action Replay inserted •At the Main Menu when you are instructed to “Insert Game Cart”, remove the Action Replay and insert the game. •On the top screen of the DS, the name of the game (or Unknown Game) will appear. •The number under the Game Name is the Game ID. Please be sure to include the dash when entering the Game ID into the Action Replay.

If this did not solve your problem, please leave a comment and I will get back to it as soon as I can.

may be your action replay is broken. try another action replay with another ds. also try your action replay with another DS.
