Once the the hexedit to uncap the framerate in Gen IV titles (detailed in this pokecommunity thread) became more widely known, I would always use it when revisiting those games. That said, the only place I really wanted to uncap the framerate was in-battle as using this in the overworld gave me inconsistent results.

With the BDSP release, I decided to replay the Gen IV titles once again but this time set out to find a way to uncap the framerate only in-battle for a smoother experience. Seemed like some folks had explored asm solutions in the past or inquired about other solutions, but nothing ever got released to my knowledge. So I decided to use this as my first foray into Action Replay codes and created the below:

[Platinum] Uncap framerate in-battle
9224A948 00002801
A2000DF8 00000000
12000DF8 00000000
D2000000 00000000
A224A948 00002801
A2000DF8 00006325
12000DF8 00006325
D2000000 00000000

[Diamond/Pearl] Uncap framerate in-battle
9223C1F4 00002801
A2000DB0 00000000
12000DB0 00000000
D2000000 00000000
A223C1F4 00002801
A2000DB0 00006325
12000DB0 00006325
D2000000 00000000

[HeartGold/Soulsilver] Uncap framerate in-battle
92247612 00002801
A2000E28 00000000
12000E28 00000000
D2000000 00000000
A2247612 00002801
A2000E28 00006325
12000E28 00006325
D2000000 00000000

I've tested these sparingly on all 5 games in addition to a full playthrough of HeartGold and halfway through Platinum. The if-condition is actually based off the "easy catch rate" codes for each game, but the value of 2801 only seems to be set for that address when in-battle so it works out. In my playthrough of HeartGold the only caveat I noticed is that post-battle evolutions seemed to keep the framerate uncapped, resulting in them being over pretty quickly.

For those unfamiliar with the hexedit these codes are based off, here's a video of what it looks like in action (note that enabling the above codes will only uncap the framerate in-battle):https://youtu.be/P7P6tjsuNxY

Hopefully this is useful for some folks here; I've been hoping for a way to do this myself for a while now so wanted to at least share it out. Let me know if anything similar already exists that I've overlooked or if you have any suggestions for getting more visibility on these to others who may want to use them.

Hi,

I'm looking to get a Pseudo Saturn Kai cart, the cheapest price on Ali Express for the 4 in 1 cart is 44 Euro plus 6 for shipping = 50. Play Asia are selling regular Action Replay carts for 24 Euro plus 6 for shipping = 30. I know id need to do the swap trick to flash the regular AR myself but it looks really easy, plus I have a model 2 Saturn arriving soon where you can just jam cardboard into the latch to do the swap so no need to even remove the case.

Ive heard people saying they had problems with the pre flashed Ali Express carts, having to open them up to shield them using tin foil and sticky tape. Ive looked at the reviews for the regular AR on Play Asia and none of them mention this, although some do mention other issues like the extra ram making the graphics in games glitch if you pause them for too long, or the cart needed to be taken out and back in a few times before the Saturn detects it but Ive also seen people mention these issues with the Ali Express carts.

I realize Datel (the company who originally made the Action Replay carts) probably aren't making these new ones seeing as the original ones from the 90's had a PC Comms port and the new ones don't, so these are probably knock offs, but does anyone know if they are better quality then the Ali Express carts ?. Play Asia's customer support isnt great but its a million times better then Ali Express from what I hear, and they ship much quicker.

Just wondering what you would do in my shoes, thanks in advance

Song of the Week #205

From: Half Drunk Under A Full Moon (SPIN Lullaby Sessions)

Happy Fratellis Friday! This version of this song is so sweet and relaxing, I love these lullaby sessions so much and honestly if I didn't have a coffee directly in front of me this would help me drift off back to sleep right now. This song was slow to take hold on me and this version helped a lot, now I'd say that (especially lyrically) it's one of my favorites on the album. Have a gorgeous day and an even better weekend you beautiful people x

Look, I’m gonna keep it real, for me personally the game was a 6-7/10. (+120hours or so in it, I liked, just not my type of game 😅)

But, my moms (60+) who never liked games like that, is on my case to start playing that game again so she can watch me play. She even wants me to teach her how to play that game so she can ride around like a cowboy and “- John Wayne” in that game and kill those bastard 😂😂😂

I’m ☠️ man 🤣 🤷🏽‍♂️

My moms, asking my 35+ year old ass to boot up the game cause it’s so realistic.

Bless her heart, but for what’s it worth, if nothing else, that’s probably the best compliment perhaps on any game in history has ever gotten!

I have USA Gamecube that is modded andI i can boot it into Swiss using a Swiss disc.

My question is if aan an EU Action Replay would also work to boot into swiss using the memory card adapter.

Hi All,Getting back into GBA/GB after my pocket arrived. I picked up a second hand GBA action replay and verified it works, but I was suprised to see this version doesn't have a USB port on it to add games or cheats.

I assumed it would and have the software already setup in virtualbox to manage the cheats. I also see the solder pads on the action replay where a USB port would be attached.....

Has anyone done that before? It seems pretty straight forward, but given it's currently in working condition, I'd hate to damage it or go through modifying the case with a USB opening, etc. Just to find out it still won't work.

If no one knows, I think I'll give it a shot just to find out. If so, I'll post back with my findings.

EDIT: Adding photos of completed USB port addition.. Currently the device still works but the added port is not working.

I'm quite new to the Saturn, but got a few games recently and gave it a go.

My saturn is japanese so I got the Action Replay 4M Plus as a solution to play everything...I wish.

This is my second AR cart. The ram on the first one quit working. This one worked with 1mb and 4mb games (other one never did), now they won't play and say ram is required. I have had it one day.

I have to cut q-tips and stick them behind the cartridge to get it to read, otherwise it doesnt boot.

The Action Replay still can play games that don't require the 1mb or 4mb cart, but it is insane that I am having so much trouble.

Any advice? Looking at the pseudo saturn 1mb/4mb carts. Do they sit better in the cartridge slot than the Action Replays?

Both carts were brand new and I have avoided wiggling/taking them out because I know the cartridges are not built well.

Hello,

I wan't to change position of the sprites using Action Replay MK6. I have tried poke commands but it only seems to work with RAM not IO. Is there any way to do this some other way?

For example if I want to move sprite #0 X position from 24 to 100:

1. I hit freeze
2. E - POKES
3. POKE 53248,100
4. Enter
5. F3 - Restart

Nothing changes. I know this has to be possible because you can disable sprite collisions with AR6. But POKES doesn't seem to work. Any workaround?

Hello. I have an odd request - But I hope its interessting for some of you?

I don't know if you all remember ActionReplay codes? Those cheats allowed you to alter your gameboy games.

There is a new hype in the pokemon challange world: Warp Randomizer. Those modifications change all warp zones in the game and make it like a maze. People then try to beat it as fast as possible. "Beat" can mean different things: The most famous one requires the runner to beat all gyms and E4 members in the right order. Often in a race against other.

But sometimes you run around for three hours and can't figure out the way to the last gym. You found everything but the last piece to complete your puzzle.

When you surrender the challenge you have to use external tools to figure out where the warp leads to. This isn't only very tendious but also streamer unfriendly.

Now to my request: You don't need to search long to find port codes online which allows the player to use any warpzone to get into the area he wants. But sadly there aren't any codes for the gyms and the different E4 members. And because of the randomizer you can't just use a normal town warp and enter the gym normally.

Is there anyone who is interessted enough to write new codes for the different warp zones for each gym (8) and E4 members (5 Including the champion)? This would make it very user friendly to just port inside the gym and allows backtracking to figure out the way into it.

SadlyI don't know how hard it is to figure out the right variables for the different warp zones. I think otherwise it's probably not too hard to write the code (might be wrong. But those are only one-two lines long)

I hope I could pique someone's interest. Thanks!

(Note: I think Emerald is more famous in case someone wants to try his luck on only one game)

Edit: The codes needs to be for the US version of the games.

Hey all, I want to do a randomized nuzlocke on my emerald, but I'm using a physical cartridge, not an emulator. I have a GBA action replay, and am wondering if anyone knows a code I can use to randomize my game.

Thanks in advance!

Also I'd rather use AR instead of GCLoader because while it does load games faster, I'd rather just use Swiss for homebrew software. Plus I'd prefer getting the disks. I know where to get the AR memory card, but what version of the software am I supposed to choose?

Hello everyone! I'm new to GameCube Homebrew and I have a quick question. Sorry if this is already answered, but I couldn't find an answer.

Question:

I was able to scoop up an action replay media launcher on eBay (for an outrageous amount, but it is what it is) now, if I use it to boot Swiss using the memory stick to micro-sd card adaptor (the one included with the disc), is there a way to bypass not having to use the disc with maybe a SDSP2? or XenoGC chip? or is the action replay disc always needed to boot Homebrew/Swiss from the memory stick to micro-sd card adaptor?

Thanks again, :) my main reason for this question was because I have a fear of the disc getting damaged, and I'd like to share the Homebrew exploit with friends :)

Long story short I need to flash my action replay white cartridge with PSK. I don’t want to mess with the swap trick, can I use my already flashed PSK cart to boot the disk, change the red PSK cart out for the un flashed action replay after the disk is booted and proceed with the flash?

Or am I going to have to deal with swap tricking it to do this?

So my gamecube DOL 101 isnt reading or accepting the sd card for the action replay v1.06 anyone know whats up with that or how i can make it work??

Hello,

Im having the issue of none of the codes found online are working. Everything is put in correctly I am using only 1 code at a time, and nothing, not one code works! There are many others with the same issue but all the articles are so old with no solutions and can’t find any YouTube videos helping out. My AR works perfectly for other games like Ruby and sapphire. Just wondering if anyone was able to find a find a solution to this issue.

When typing in codes for the action replay on the gamecube, the codes are in a 0000-0000-00000 format. I see a lot of codes online as 00000000-00000000 format. For anyone who knows, how are they different and how can I put them on my action replay?

Hey, I noticed the yellow label AR has an option to save your games data for you onto its own cartridge. My question is, if I save that data to AR, and put in a different copy of the game, can I put copy that data onto the other copy as well?

Hello fellow r/Powersaves3ds I have a question. Is this the action replay reddit by chance?

If so I am having the hardest time with updating this firmware for the DSi 3ds compatable action replay. I have 1.8 for the action replay, made in 2011. I am trying to get megaman starforce 3 black ace to run on it (swear I did in the past) but now it seems it won't. I upgrade the firmware to 4.4.0 and when I plug my AR in my Dsi (It's the black and yellow ar btw) it says it's still at 1.8

Is there an action replay type device for switch games??
