Hacking Replace Action Replay firmware

[xaxa]

Hello, about 3 years ago my action replay bricked after updating the firmware. I have tried to fix it using several methods posted on various websites to no avail. I was wondering if it is possible to fix it using just my computer. And if so, is it possible to replace the firmware with something like akaio?

I realize that the ARDS hardware probably doesn't have the capabilities to run backups, but I ask because I would like better cheat support and the ability to slowdown/quicksave games.

you can't. if you want those better cheat support and that slowdown/quick save games (RTS) go get a flashcart.

well, not any flashcart. there's specific flashcarts with those features (i dont remember...)

Thanks for your answer.
What about my first question? Can I fix it with just my computer?

if it's bricked, you have to get a new one.

Did you try to reset the ARDS back to factory settings?

Yes. The problem here is that the ds won't even recognize that it is connected.
