Okay I have heard that you can upgrade your interact gameshark GBA into AR v3.3, however I cannot find that software to help me be able to do that, I googled and everything for it.

So if its okay to ask since its ancient, does anyone know where I can download it?

or if not, then is it possible to convert action replay v3 codes into gameshark v1.2? 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.

What you heard is that you can update your Gameshark to Action Replay using Action Replay's firmware. This is made possible because the two products are the exact same thing just with different stickers.

Follow this guide here http://us.codejunkies.com/support/article.aspx?article_id=245 to download the latest Action Replay firmware and pc application for the AR GBA. You'll have to figure out how to update your Gameshark with the firmware and stuff though. I'd imagine the guide works for the Gameshark you just have to use Gameshark's PC software to update the firmware or maybe try using AR's?

There's also no telling if you need to update your Gameshark to a newer Gameshark version BEFORE you can switch to AR.

I was able to upgrade from GS to ARv3 with no problem, I only used the ARv3 software and connected my device, is weird because it has the GS logo on it.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
