My action replay for ds just erased all the games and codes by itself

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.

What do you mean everything was gone. On the Pokemon game, or on the Action Replay, if all your data was erased on the Pokemon game, then there is not other solution the to start over, but if all your data on the Action Replay was erased then all you have to do is take out you Action Replay Code Manager CD and download all the games back into your Action Replay. But if you don't even have the Code Manager CD, then there's no hope man.

Good Luck!

Download the code manager if you don't have it. In subscriptions list add this: http://www.freewebs.com/marioforever89/Codes/Link.xml In the NixShadow part there are tons of codes for Pearl so just drag the word "NH's Pokemon Pearl" over when your DS is plugged in.

Well, you're going to have to install the AR Code Manager on your PC. When you do that, insert your AR cartridge into your DS and plug it in via the USB cable on the PC. After that it should attempt to load your current code list. If nothing pops up hit the "Quick Update" button at the top, it should delete your current game codelist and download the new codelist from one of the sites listed.
