How to Put Games in the Action Replay
The DS Action Replay activates cheat codes or unlockables for any game on the Nintendo DS. Sometimes after inserting a game, the Action Replay may say "Unknown Game." This problem can be fixed and the device can find the game without use of the computer. However, you may need to manually enter codes using the computer afterward.
