On Sale at Divineo USA

Datel have posted details on a new Homebrew and More cart for DS, Lets hope its better than recent creations

Action Replay DS uses real cheat codes to give you exciting cheats like Infinite Lives, Infinite Health, All Vehicles and more. The new Media Edition also boasts a powerful media player for movies, music and home brew games.

Action Replay DS Media Edition has the power to blow your NDS games wide open. Our dazzlingly dynamic device uses real cheat codes to get to the heart of your NDS games, giving you enhancements such as Infinite Lives, Infinite Health, All Vehicles, All Levels and other exciting cheats. But it’s so much more than just a cheat system. It also includes a media player to play movies and music stored on a MicroSD card (not supplied), and can even run home brew software written for the NDS!

Action Replay DS Media Edition is really easy to use. You simply insert the supplied Action Replay cartridge into your DS or DS Lite, and switch on. When prompted, remove the Action Replay card and replace it with your game card. Action Replay recognises the title in question and offers you the title's code list. It's that easy! Like previous versions of Action Replay, Action Replay DS Media Edition is fully updateable, so you don't need to buy a new one when new games are released; just update your Action Replay over the internet using the PC app supplied. You can also enter codes manually using Action Replay's virtual keyboard. Our code creators are always hard at work on the latest DS titles, so even the very latest games will be trained and tamed within hours of hitting the shelves.

But it’s more than just a game enhancer. Action Replay DS Media Edition also offers a powerful media player, with which you can play your movie and music files. Using the product’s powerful media utilities, you can convert just about any movie format ready for playback on your Action Replay DS Media Edition. It’s easy to transfer converted movies and MP3 music files to your device too, with drag-and-drop convenience.

As well as music and movies, Action Replay DS Media Edition also lets you play home brew games, utilities and demos written for the DS and distributed for free on the internet. Not every program will work with Action Replay DS Media Edition, but that’s the nature of home brew. Even so, there’s plenty great material out there that plays just fine, and the list is growing all the time. We’ve even thrown in a collection of 25 home brew games to get you started – just drag and drop them from your Action Replay DS Media Edition CD onto your MicroSD card (not supplied) and you’re away!

And to cap it all, Action Replay DS Media Edition also offers a sizzling saves manager called DataMAX, a complete solution for backing up, restoring and exchanging your NDS game saves. DataMAX lets you save multiple times in games like Pokémon, which would otherwise let you make only one save at a time, meaning two or more people can play on the same game cart without interfering with each others’ games!

Action Replay DS Media Edition includes an Action Replay DS cartridge, a media software disc, a USB cable and a MicroSD card reader. The MicroSD card is not supplied – buy it separately and choose your own capacity. Action Replay DS Media Edition is compatible with both the original DS and the DS Lite. To update the device, a PC running Windows XP, 200 or Vista (32 bit) and connected to the internet is required.

Anyone tried this with the games n music dldi patch?

[trugamer]

Can't tell you yet but I plan to get one in the future and I'll try it then.

The ability of this to backup sets it apart as all other slot 1 devices can only do this via wifi.

[Bigburito]

anybody know if the Media Player is the same crappy one they had for the GnM/MMD?

[Jeric]

I don't think it's released yet. I'll google around and see what pops up.

[trugamer]

They're already selling it at codejunkies and amazon.

Erm, just copy the *.sav file to another location?

I have to wonder if they mean that you can back up the actual NDS saves from a commercial cartridge, and restore them. Gods that would mean easier game management between me and my friends!

If it will run Colors! and DSLinux, I may opt for getting one. Anyone know what the approx. dimensions are? I'm assuming it's not the same size as a normal cartridge anymore.

This is Datel we're talking about. Do you think they'd actually put more effort into this?

Any particular reason for thinking this? The Action Replay for DS (and Nitro Hax) just had you swap out cartridges. I think this one will probably do that too.

@Akoi Meexx: Well if the MAX Drive Duo can I assume this one can ^^ i hope they've improved it, as it won't reconise some games :S
