If you have any questions, feel free to ask here, your questions will be answered by people from the community or by myself. Hope you find this useful. 1. How to install Action Replay DS properly. Many people have problems installing the Code Manager to their computers, because sometimes the software won't detect your DS when you connect it. Keep in mind that the code manager only works with Windows XP. It WON'T work with Windows Vista until Codejunkies releases the appropiate drivers. Step 1: Plug your Action Replay DS to any free USB port you have in your computer BEFORE putting in the installation CD. If you get a random window asking for the drivers needed for the installation, leave it there and put the installation CD in your computer. Step 2: Now put the installation CD in your computer, and follow the steps that appear in the screen. If you don't know what to do, just do what the pictures are telling you to do. Step 3: Click next, and when it asks you for the destination folder, leave it there, unless you are an advanced user and you know what you are doing. However, it is recomended for you to leave it there. Step 4: When you get to the window to rename the folder, ignore it. Just click the checkbox if you DON'T want to create a shortcut in the start menu. Step 5: In this step, check the checkbox if you WANT to create a shortcut in the desktop. Step 6: Now you will get a confirmation window with all the features you selected. When you are done, click "install". Step 7: When the installation is done, only mark the box that says "launch Action Replay Code Manager" and click "finish". Congratulations! You just installed Action Replay DS properly, and you are ready to add your codes and more! 2. How to add codes. Many people don't know how to add codes to the Action Replay DS using the Code Manager. I'm going to explain how to do it now. Step 1: Open the Code Manager software, and locate the DS-Cartrige button in the top right corner. When you hover the mouse on it, you will see that it ways "Software Upgrade". Click that button. Step 2: You will see a pop-up window asking you if you want to upgrade the software. Select yes. Step 3: When you click yes, your computer will download the latest software from Codejunkies' site. From there, you will see a similar installation window that you saw when you were installing the software. Step 4: When you are done, you have to create "Custom Codelists", to do that, go to where it says "My Codelists", and click the icon that looks like a paper with a green "+" sign. Then drag and drop the games from the "My Subscriptions" to the custom codelist you just created. Now, right-click one of the games in your custom codelist, and select "Add new cheat". Step 5: When you are adding cheats, you will a see a window like this one: So just pick a title for your cheat, and add the codes that you can find on many websites. I shall get part 3 "How to use Action Replay on the DS" when i have the time.
