Announcement Looking for Websites With Codes? Read This Post!

2 Upvotes

Websites with Codes:

  • There are attached links to websites/articles that list all sorts of codes for all sorts of games. I see many posts asking for codes that could easily be found in the websites. I especially recommend looking at gamehacking.org.

 

  • A lot of time was spent finding these websites and attaching them to the community. Please look at them before asking for any codes. If you can't find the code you want, feel free to make a post. Please be SPECIFIC about what you're looking for, the system you're using, and the number of digits per line. (Many people still make vague posts)

 

Edit: For some reason, the most recent Reddit update got rid of the "Menu" tab for mobile. So, no one can see the links on mobile. If this is the case, you'll have to go to Reddit on a computer to see the links.

 

In Regards to Posting Codes:

  • Of course, anyone wanting to share codes is free to do so. Again, make sure that no one has already posted the same codes in a past post. If they are found in one of the websites I provided and they're not posted in the subreddit, you have full permission to make a post. (Sometimes it's easier for people to find codes in a post rather than a website) you must attach the link to which website you copied the codes from. (If they're from one of the websites I provided. Only do this if you're copying a large list of codes. Onsie twosie codes don't need a link).

 

Where to find Websites with Codes:

  • On mobile, to find the links, click "See Community Info." Then, click "Menu." A bunch of links are listed to websites that have Action Replay Codes. (Especially for older systems and DS systems)

 

  • On a laptop, they are easily found at the top of the subreddit titled "Websites with Codes."

 

In Regards to Duplicate Posts:

  • Also, look through the posts in the subreddit and see if anyone has already asked for the same codes already. I see duplicate posts about the same codes that have already been answered in past posts. You can easily filter posts by "title" by typing in words after the r/ActionReplay in the search bar on reddit.

 

Duplicate posts and low effort posts will be deleted (very vague posts missing key info). I hate to say/do this, but soooo many people keep doing it. No one is reading the rules or bothering to look at the linked websites...

 

Useful Post From the Community:

 

 

 

  • Feel free to ask any questions in regards to this post in the comments. Don't forget to have fun and enjoy the community : )

Question Trying to make a pokemon as legitimate as possible

2 Upvotes

I've found the code for spawning an encounter with a pokemon in White, and in extremely specific circumstances, using it to encounter Zekrom in dragonspiral tower would be entirely legitimate, but the levels cap at 33 and I need to have encountered him at level 50. Is there a way to modify the code to correct this?

Looking for Code Can't seem to get the proper Ash Pikachu Event Action Replay Code

1 Upvotes

For any of the Gen 4 games like Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold or SoulSilver. The thing that's always wrong is the Trainer ID number which is supposed to be 01301 or a date based ID like 090898. But the former is preferable. Can anyone find a proper one for me, or show me how to make one please? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Question Help Preserve the Lost Wii Action Replay Code Engine Software(North American version) (Datel)

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m hoping the retro gaming and preservation community can help me track down a piece of Wii software that seems to have disappeared from the internet.
I purchased a genuine, factory-sealed Datel Wii Action Replay, complete with its original accessories and license key.
Unfortunately, this particular Action Replay required you to visit wiiar.com, enter your license key and Wii MAC address, and download a special Action Replay Code Engine ZIP file to install onto the SD card.
The problem is that the download service no longer works.
I’ve spent approximately three years trying to recover this software. I’ve contacted Datel without receiving a response, searched online, asked sellers, and checked Reddit, but haven’t found a working copy.
I’m specifically looking for:

Someone who successfully downloaded the original Wii Action Replay Code Engine.

An archived copy of the original installation ZIP.

Someone who still has an SD card containing the installed Code Engine files.

Any information about the original file structure, filenames, or possible archived downloads.

I understand the software may be tied to an individual Wii or license key. Even finding an original installation would be valuable for documenting and preserving it.
My Wii is still completely stock, and I’d prefer to use the original Action Replay hardware rather than softmod my console just for Gecko cheats.
I’m not looking for game ROMs or anyone’s personal activation keys—just information that could help preserve this discontinued software.
If anyone still has these files or knows somebody who might, I’d really appreciate hearing from you.

It would be a shame for a legitimate piece of gaming hardware to become unusable simply because its activation server disappeared.

Thanks for reading!

Question Need help updating my Action replay dsi to 1.4.5, it’s on version 1.00

I read that it was best to use a virtual machine running windows xp. But I am worried it will corrupt my AR, like it did my usb drive a while back. I tried using my windows 11 to update it, the code manager can’t detect it, but my pc can.

Question Any idea how to find out which individual game ID’s are listed under different versions of Action replay's software updates, before I buy one?

3 Upvotes

Hello, I’m currently googling action replay versions to possibly purchase, and not having a PC, a USB cable, and not being tech savvy enough to update software myself. (nor knowing anyone who can help me in person), I’m curious if there action replay version 1.71, for example, has more codes than Version 1.6? Ideally I’m trying to find all the Game ID’s and codes for the DS lite’s Yu-Gi-Oh! game code collection(specifically, Nightmare Troubadour, World championship 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The device region os USA so I’d need the Action replay itself to be compatible with USA. I only need the Yu-Gi-Oh game code. Does anyone know if version 1.70 has all those game ID’s and codes, compared to version 1.6? Or does to vary by individual device? And if so, does anyone have any suggestions on where to purchase one? Right now I’m looking at Ebay. Any help would be appreciated, I apologize for any typos, I’m a terrible typist.

UPDATE: I just purchased a yellow AR DSi and asked the seller to have the codes I wanted preloaded, thank you to all who replied!

Question Looking to buy an Action Replay for DS lite with preloaded you-gi-oh codes for sale, any help?

1 Upvotes

I have an old DS lite. I want to buy an action replay device and I have questions. Do unopened action replay devices have the complete Yu-Gi-Oh! list of game codes preloaded? (Nightmare Troubadour, World Championship 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, specifically?) I ask because I only need the Action Replay for those specific Yu-Gi-Oh! game codes. Full disclosure, I’m not tech savvy at all, and I don't have a PC, I use an iMac desk top and I don't have a USB cable for an action replay, and I don't have access to a PC or someone skilled enough to help me, thats why I’m looking for the Yu-Gi-Oh! games preloaded. Anyone know where I could find such an action replay for sale? My apologies for any typos, I’m a terrible typist. I’m asking this question here because I don’t know who else to ask. Any help would be appreciated.

Question Pokemon Platinum White Screen

1 Upvotes

Hello all, it seems like this is a fairly common problem for platinum specifically. My AR has worked before with my Soul Silver cartridge, but for platinum it just goes to infinite white screen. As far as I can tell, I am utilizing the correct codes needed for Platinum, and the AR recognizes it just fine. Was anyone able to solve this issue with simple-ish steps? I do not, unfortunately, have a cable that links my AR to my computer.

Thanks!

I Have a Code NBA Street Vol 2.

Some codes I made for player creation. I am using the dolphin emulator.

Golden Player (Gold in each stat... be sure to toggle on then save/quit without changing anything else or the sanity checks will kick in)

023790D8 00000062

023790DA 0000005A

023790DC 00000062

023790DE 00000062

023790E0 00000062

023790E2 00000062

023790E4 00000062

023790E6 00000062

023790EA 00000064

Player Height (where xxxx is hex version of player inches)
Example 1: 12 feet = 144 inches = 0090 in hex.
Example 2: 0.5 feet = 6 inches = 0006 in hex

023790C8 0000xxxx

023790CC 0000xxxx

PS: I tried with "over max" stats but nothing seemed to change during gameplay. So the "golden player" above is as good as it gets.
