Installing the Software using the Downloaded Folder
Firstly you need to extract the downloaded disc contents folder, double click the downloaded
compressed zip file and select the option to extract the files. You can extract the files to a location of
your choice.
In order to begin the installation, simply double click the ‘setup.exe’ file from within the
uncompressed folder. Follow the on-screen prompts to install the software to a location of your
choice. Once complete, you will continue to need the uncompressed folder to install the USB drivers
when prompted. Locate the program in your Start Menu to run it.
Connecting Action Replay to your PC
In order to communicate with your Action Replay cartridge, your PC needs to be connected to it
using the supplied USB to mini USB lead. Unlike previous versions of Action Replay DS, the cartridge
should never be connected to your DS when you connect it to your PC. Connect the larger end of the
USB lead to a free USB port on your PC and the smaller end to the mini USB connector on the Action
Replay cartridge. When Action Replay is connected for the first time, Windows will prompt you to
install the drivers.
Installing the Drivers using the Downloaded Folder
When you connect Action Replay to your PC Windows will prompt you to install the USB drivers for
the new hardware. Direct Windows to the uncompressed downloaded folder. If Windows informs
you that it is unable to locate the necessary drivers you may need to manually install the USB
drivers.
Firstly you will need to access a part of Windows called Device Manager which will allow you access
the options required to manually install the USB drivers. In order to access Device Manager please
