Hacking Loading game save files...

[megagodx]

In the same fashion that you would from GameFAQs onto an emulated version of the game, but instead, on the Nintendo DS cart itself. Action Replay is used for this, right? What type of AR? A Media type or will a regular AR suffice? If there's a specific type, do I need to buy sold separate parts to load game savs over?

To put gamesaves from GameFAQs on a retail cart, I think you need an Action Replay Max Duo, which is actually just a GBA Action Replay that can save/load DS game saves.

But realistically, you would be better off buying a DS flashcart of some sort, and using www.shunyweb.info to convert the Max Duo save files for your flashcart.

I have a ActionReplay DSi that looks like this: http://uk.codejunkies.com/Products/NDS-Act...__EF000643.aspx
I think it has the same features just that it supports DSi too.
You can backup and restore savefiles to and from a microSD-card with it.

Don't get the Max Duo. It's no longer supported and cannot do Pokemon game saves.

Thanks for the replies, guys. So I absolutely need the SD card? I'm not really savvy with this sort of stuff, what's the cheapest MSRP on one of these things?

Edit: Would something like this work? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Dane-elec-2GB-mi...indingMethod=rr

From http://us.codejunkies.com/Products/NDS-Act...__EF000642.aspx
the MSRP is $35. If you only have commercial games, and want to play someone else's save, you want to follow the above link. If you have a flash cart, use this (http://www.shunyweb.info/convert.php) to convert the save.

In regards to the SD card, reading the info at codejunkies, it appears so. Remember to get a 2GB or less size card.
EDIT: yeah, it looks like it would work.
