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.

 

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.
