    Oh my gosh I appreciate you making this video so much. The days of cheat devices like this are over but Action Replay for the GBA is what started my entire computer science career. I taught myself hexadecimal at the age of 11 and had an "action replay" book where I would edit Pokémon Sapphire action replay codes like "Hold L while walking through doors to teleport to X" and would change up the action replay opcodes and experiment among plenty of other codes. This Kickstart Ed my entire career into computer science and now I am a senior graphics/rendering engineer and reverse engineer and reverse engineered many games since and working on emulators and such. Action Replay codes was my epoch moment of learning how computers worked. Thanks for your video and I'm glad I subbed to you from some of your other videos!

    Cheat devices never went away. Look up the Cronus Max and Zen as well as the Titan One and Titan Two. I don't know why more people don't talk about these in these sorts of videos.

      Tbh those are more for cringe online pvp game cheaters rather than small children getting infinite money in the sims 2 but they did brush over online cheating so idk.

    Great video. I just wanted to add that cheating devices are often used by the disabled and neurodivergent communities as a way of making games that were not built to be accessible more accessible and this neuance is sometimes overlooked in conversations on why these devices exhaust or are needed

    I remember getting Pokemon Heartgold on it's release day, but being so bad at it as it was my first Pokemon game, that I couldn't beat the 8th gym leader. I took a break from the game got some advice on the mechanics of Pokemon by a friend of mine and beat the eighth gym and the rest of the game and postgame after that, catching all legendaries that I could. I only found out some time later that there were special events for Celebi and other Pokemon, like the Creation Trio of gen 4, which you needed Arceus for, but had been to late for them. I wanted to get Dialga so badly and complained to that same friend, he told me could trade me Arceus since he knew a guy who had an action replay and could trade him Arceus to give me. A few days later he traded me Arceus and I finally got Dialga and couldn't have been happier. Especially with event pokemon I really wish I understood what an action replay did more since I thought it was some hacker magic at the time. Oh and I can't forget asking my mom to drive me to gamestop every time there was a mystery gift pokemon for BW and BW2. Haven't played Pokemon since then, so I'm not sure if they still have those, but I still despise Game Freak for that practice.

    i remember beating Kingdom Hearts 2 SO many times as a kid (a full ps2 memory card of saves) that I bought a gameshark just to change shit around, because i didn't want to stop playing it. Good times...

    Ah the good old Action Replay. My brother bought one back in the day for the DS and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I've still got my original Pokemon Diamond save file from back in the day, full of all the hallmarks of Action Replay useage. (Complete Pokedex, 999 Master Balls and Rare Candies, a bunch of shinies and legendaries) But I also did a bunch of peak 9 year old child things like catching hacked Pokemon but doing it on the first route so I have a ton of Pokemon like Level 2 Arceus or a Level 3 Hippowdown. Somehow I managed to avoid giving myself any Bad Eggs or softlocking myself with walk through walls cheats which is honestly quite impressive.
    I still have that Action Replay but at some point it kicked the bucket. The brief snippet of the Action Replay DS software was the first time I've seen that screen in well over a decade.

    Interesting how your cheating experience on DS was completely different from mine, as I pirated games with my flashcart, which also allowed me to cheat, so I didnt need an seperate device. Also on many Consoles, cheating throu homebrew is a thing.

    This makes me miss my GBA Gameshark. It just... stopped working one day for no discernible reason, and I immediately junked it. But the fun I had with it was unforgettable.
    Especially since it gave me a Voltorb in Pokemon Emerald when I was trying to get a shiny starter.

    I had a DS action replay until I let a kid I knew in high school borrow it and he never gave it back lol. I used it in bowser's inside story a lot to level up faster but there were a few specific points that it never failed to softlock the game when I was using it

    I ruined my Pokemon Sapphire by overloading my pockets with items and making a key item needed to access one of the gyms go into the wrong pocket which made it unusable so I couldn't progress in the game. I was so upset but it didnt stop me from using the action replay

    Bro the 90's kids ad 😭 Haven't felt such a mix of nostalgia and cringe in a while. Also imagine explaining to these kids what gaming and cheating in games is like now... Like we don't just do it to "have more lives", some people spend hours on Nexus to see just how jiggly they can make Seranas knockers before Skyrim won't boot.
