GCN Action Replay GameCube Problem?

[CaitlinL13579]

Hello,

I’ve recently bought an Action Replay off of eBay for $105, but unfortunately, it’s not compatible with my GameCube; my GameCube is DOL-101 and my Action Replay is below version 1.14/1.14B. The language of the casing ended up being in German, and the disc is based in the UK (which might be another issue).

I sent them an email to [email protected]. As it said on the codejunkies website. As well as a Facebook message to Action Replay PowerSaves (@ARPowerSaves). I could not find the official Codejunkies website. They haven’t replied to either even though that Facebook message was seen.

Also, I looked on another forum and this is the address that was stated. Is this still a current address? And should I use it for this trade?

Then it suggested I would have to write a short letter about my issue as well as adding in my return address and use UPs as they are one of the good suggested recorded delivery services.

Questions:
- What is the difference between version 1.14 and 1.14B, if there is a difference?
- If there is a difference, are they both Action Replay Max’s?
- Should I send up the whole packaging to that address? The disc, memory card and the packaging itself? If not, I would still prefer to do so because I want the casing to be in English based in North America (yep, lol.. I am very picky).

I am quite stuck and I need help ASAP! Thanks in advance!

Also I am located in Canada!

I would just add a region switch to the unit to override it

That just changes it to play US/Canadian games to Japanese titles, if OP's Action Replay is European/PAL format how would that help?

There is another option. You could get a max media launcher and use that to launch it. Hell, with the extracted action replay .dol files you can boot any version of action replay of a sd card. the max media launcher comes with a sd card to mem card reader.

Yeah I don’t know why I was thinking region switch haha you could buy a Modchip and install it they usually can bypass the 50 60 hz deal with pal system and would be cheaper

Did you buy it from Datel? Might not be much they can do if a 3rd party seller misidentified the item.

Some Action Replay versions are region locked, while other versions are incompatible with DOL-101.
Either thing could be the issue. Furthermore older USA or PAL discs look virtually indistinguishable.

I don't know if the Action Replay menus have a 50hz/60hz selector, or if it uses region detection to set the video mode.
(NTSC Gamecubes display 50hz with wrong color encoding. But black and white isn't much of a problem for simply text.)
