Action Replay HELP

[CBF21202]

Just bought Action Replay for Nintendo.
Hit the power button, get an error message. All our other discs work fine. We tried this twice. The AR card is in Slot B.

HELP!!!

[magilacudy]

Return it and get another AR.

[CBF21202]

I already returned it.
The 2nd one did the same thing.

Does it give you a message that says something like "memory card in slot B must be reformatted"? I've had that message come up with a couple of games, but I'm not sure what to do about it. Is the problem with the AR disk itself or with the card?

[CBF21202]

The Disk itself. It won't load.

[bmulligan]

What EXACTLY does the error message say?

[greyzieoriental]

CBF21202 i just got an action replay from walmart and the same shit happens to me, it says that "The disc could not be read. Please read the NINTENDO GAMECUBE Instruction Booklet for more information." i dont know if yours says that but that what mines says.

i got the memory card in the B slot and i tried holding the button on my wavebird, even switched the controller to a regular corded one and still got the message. even tried switching the slot of the AR card, still got the same message.

i have a metriod bundle gamecube if that helps. i notice on the action replay box says it is made in england.

[CBF21202]

That is EXACTLY what happened to me.
I have an email in to Datatel right now to see if they could help.
Glad to know it wasn't just me!!

CBF21202 if u figure out how to fix this help me out to, if it cant be fixed it'll be a waste of 22$ :-(

[CBF21202]

I promise I'll pass along anything I get.

[bmulligan]

I've had 2 action replays and the only problem I ever had was lockup at the AR title screen when using the Wavebird instead of the regular controller. I got my GC when the Mario Sunshine bundles came out so it's an older one.

[CBF21202]

I use the regular GCN controller.
My Gamecube is the Platinum from the Metroid Bundle that just came out.

This is my error message:
"The disc could not be read. Please read the NINTENDO GAMECUBE Instruction Booklet for more information."

[greyzieoriental]

maybe it isnt compatible with the metriod bundled GCN, cuz thats what i have and u have

any news from datel yet bout this problem?

[989boi]

Go email the people at codejunkies.com and they'll probably send one that works but their customer service is horrible. They take long to reply or they just dont reply at all.

[Renzokuken]

Thank God I came across this thread. I was about to buy one.

[CBF21202]

I'm already waiting on codejunkies.
I'll post whatever they tell me once I get it.

[craven_fiend]

I have never had any problems with mine. Then again, I also have no clue where it is and I never really used it for what I got it for (to play imports).

[greyzieoriental]
