post2- action replay max for gba/sp

Recently i purchased off of amazon.com a brand new action replay max for about 32 dollars with shipping included. After few days with the product i find its much easier/faster to enter the codes in the action replay then the gamesharks. Also, it allows me to have fun messing with the games i have for it. Although, i would not recommend using it unless you beat the games normally as much as i have or you just do not posses the time to beat it normally.

Reasons why i bought it.
1. Just beat pokemon sapphire again, and gold sun 1 and 2 countless more times.
2. if all possible my cousin and i may battle each other on pokemon Colosseum.
3. give me more entertainment with my games.

Pros vs Cons

Pros
1. Got most my favorite pokemon on Sapphire.
2. having all psynergies on golden sun and lta hard mode from beginning.
3. had fun with final fantasy dawn of souls , IV and tactics.


Cons
1. on pokemon sapphire and ruby the hoenn pokemon codes dont seem to work and also seem to spawn bad eggs which have 2 rumors. 1 it just takes up space and can never get rid of it. 2. being if it hatches it will corrupt your game badly. either way it can be annoying if the bad egg accidently deletes a rare pokemon such as rayquaza or latias.
2. when inputting codes or debating which codes to use refrain from using the B button, because it may delete the codes for that game.
3. when it says resets to factory settings it does not mean how you got it with codes installed already but erases every single code for every game on there.

final conclusion 4/5 rating
i find it worth buying it gives you fun and if your careful about what codes you use, and not to push the B button or reset to factory settings you should be ok. Reason why i say that i was typing in a code on my action replay i messed up. Then me pressing the b button out of habit i delete the games codes. i then read in the instruction manual push shoulder buttons + a , b, and start button to reset to factory settings. i should have just retyped the code in but i thought factory setting meant adds all the codes back to when you first got it. I was wrong it deleted the thousands of codes it had. After realizing what had happened i got really frustrated. but when i started adding codes realized it was not as bad as the code adding for the gamesharks. All in all i am happy with my purchase.
but with all products there is that chance it could be faulty. just return it and get another one. but the chance of it breaking small to none.
That is unless you get mad because you deleted the game codes and through a fit and broke it. which is just your fault for not controlling your temper.


I take no responsibility if you purchased an action replay and it was faulty product, broke your game, or any other possible side effect from using this product.
