Datel Action Replay Power Saves Pro - Nintendo 3Ds

This is an amazing product. I am an avid player of monster Hunter and I cannot tell you how many times I have been frustrated by grinding for a freaking Rathalos plate or a Lagiacrus plate or even a Rathalos Ruby. The worst is the Diablos and his stupid majestic horn. All I need is that one stupid item to complete an armor set and I cannot tell you how frustrated it makes me by not getting it once through either capture or killing it 47 TIMES IN A ROW. Anyways, the actual thing is very different but very straightforward to using. You plug in the game into the cartridge holder and it comes with the cable but I was told not to use that cable. If you have another micro USB cable around, use that instead because apparently the cable it comes with is garbage. Anyways you're going to also need to download the program from the website, and as far as I can tell, my computer has not picked up any viruses from it. Once you open the program and plug in the game to your computer, it's gonna ask you what sort of things you're going to want. As a monster Hunter player, you'll see that It gives you money codes, resource points, the choice from some of the best G ranked equipment in the game, and it will have a section where you can supply the first 20 slots in your item box up to 99. If you scroll down a little bit further it'll also ask you for the first six items lots what kind of specific items you want, and everything goes. Everything from account items like easy pitfall traps and first aid meds to Uragaan rubies and Majestic horns. I am very sure it works with other games like Pokémon and all that as well, but bare in mind you must have the physical copy in order to use this product. If you only have a digital copy, it's not gonna work because it needs the actual cartridge in order for it to work.

It works differently than the old action replays, but in my opinion, this version is better.Basically, there's a device that plugs into the USB of your laptop... this device allows you to pop in a game. The instructions are included, but to sum it up, you have to go to their website and download the software (which is safe for those who are paranoid) and once you have it installed (It only took me a minute), you open it and begin. Once you plug in the game, the codes for that specific game are brought up on the screen.I bought this for use with Pokemon X and Y, as well as Animal Crossing: New Leaf.I was pretty happy with the codes available for both. There are tons of codes, specifically for Pokemon X and Y and they occasionally add new ones.If you're afraid of your game getting corrupted, I don't think you should be. Whenever you go to load a new cheat code, it saves a backup of your game. There was once instance that it froze for Pokemon for whatever reason... I got on the game and it looked fine, but decided to restore the backup anyway. No worries! It's very safe. (I'm a huge fan of the backup feature).PLEASE NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT THIS ONLY WORKS FOR GAMES YOU HAVE PHYSICAL COPY OF! If you downloaded a game from the 3DS's digital shop, you cannot use this! I happen to own 3 AC:NLs and I can only use it for the two that are physical copies! Not a problem for me, but it's worth noting!

I bought this along with the New Nintendo 2DS XL that I got for my birthday. The product came as is and working like it's supposed to. The cable that came with it was okay, but I used my own which is a bit longer. I have no idea why some of the people here complain that it's a chore to use - if they used gameshark/cheat devices in the past, then they already know the extra steps needed when using it. It's not at all that hard to use and those complaining are just bellyaching because they're lazy AF. You can only use PHYSICAL copies of the games as you have to plug it in to the power save port that you connect to the PC - digital games you bought in the eShop won't work with this. You also need an internet connection because the codes are downloaded from their website to be able to use them to inject them into your game cartridge (you need to register in their website to make an account as well). As for the codes and website itself, it has MOST games codes for almost all of the popular 3DS games - but not ALL of them. I also wished they had codes for some of the older DS games that I wanna get, so it's not perfect in covering the entire library of DS and 3DS games. So the only nitpick I have is that it doesn't have codes to every single DS/3DS game ever made in the handheld's long lifespan.
