<b>Q8: Im using the Action Replay Code Manger so I can get cheats onto my AR device. I copied and pasted the htlm into the subscription box. It didn't work.</b>
It works for me, all you need to do is add this URL to the Action Replay Code Manager as a subscription
<a href="http://cheats.gbatemp.net/files/Action_Replay.xml" target="_blank">http://cheats.gbatemp.net/files/Action_Replay.xml</a>
The actual cheat xml file is around 10 megabytes so it will take about a 20-30 seconds to download on a fast connection.
<b>Q9: I have a Flashcart! I try to get some cheats to work, and they don't! Why aren't they working?
A: The flashcart you are using properly doesn't support the codetype. A Solution is to patch the rom with the cheats. A good guide is located here: <a href="http://www.gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=174309" target="_blank">http://www.gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=174309</a></b>
