I am in the process of writing replacement software for un-bricking & re-flashing, (as well as cheatdb editing), the Gameboy Action Replay / Gameshark, due to the original PC software no longer functioning on modern OSs.

As part of this I am trying to track down copies of the original PC software used with them, to see if there are any differentiating files between the various regional releases (specifically in the way of any potential on-disc firmware updates and/or skin files.)

Does anyone still own the original discs for the following devices and would be willing to help me do some digging?
(I am not asking for any files/isos of the discs in question, just for some information, and/or potentially buying said discs off of users if willing.)

Action Replay Online (Europe/Australia)
Action Replay Xtreme (Europe/Australia)
Action Replay Xtreme Special Edition (Europe/Australia)
Gameshark Special Edition (North America)
Pro Action Replay 4MAX, (Asia)

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
