Gaming cheat codes have been in use by gamers since it was first made available for the Nintendo Entertainment System in the 1980s when it offered its gamers 99 extra lives to defeat a challenging level. Whether you want to live an extra 99 lives, be able to walk through walls to avoid traps, or to make your character invincible, cheat codes are now made readily available, especially through supplemental cartridges such as the Action Replay GBA. Although no longer widely produced, you can still find a multitude of Action Replay GBA cartridges available on eBay in both new and used conditions.
Although Action Replay has produced many versions of its Action Replay cartridges in the past, each Action Replay cartridge can only be used within its own family of console systems. Action Replay cartridges are not backwards compatible, meaning that newer versions cannot be used on older systems. Hence, the Action Replay GBA is only compatible within the Game Boy Advance family with the following systems:

One of the Shiny Codes I have included may not work on your ACTION REPLAY. Im asking because I've looked around for pokemon emerald codes and couldn't find any for v1.2, and read that you would have to upgrade your device into Action replay v3. I JUST got this lil gameshark thing today from a store I always go to, so I want to be able to use it for all GBA games.
It cannot be used on the original GameBoy, GameBoy Color, or any of the Nintendo DS console families.
How do you use the Action Replay GBA?There are two ways to use the Action Replay GBA. The CD it comes with provides installation instructions for adding the Action Replay code manager to your computer. The USB cord connects the Action Replay GBA to your computer. From the Action Replay manager, you can manually enter the codes to the game you wish to play if it is not already preloaded into the cartridge. If you are using a game that already has preloaded codes, you can simply insert the game cartridge into the Action Replay GBA. After the game cartridge is secure within the Action Replay, you can directly insert the Action Replay into the game slot of the GBA. Power on both units and follow the on-screen instructions to select the codes you wish to use.
How many codes can be used at a time?It is recommended to not enter more than 200 characters total, including letters and numbers, of codes prior to starting the game on the Action Replay. Loading more than a total of 200 characters of all the codes you wish to use will cause your gaming console system to become unstable and crash.
