Did you insert the card into the DS and power the DS console on? The ARDS card usually needs some sort of power source to read it's memory and the mini USB cable can't provide the necessary power to support powering the card and still transfer data.

does your USB port work? try connecting to a different USB port before you scrap it. if it doesn't work, or you've already tried this, then i'd say either buy a new ActionReplay, or get an AceKard 2/2i. i've never tried the R4, but i love the AceKard (just got it a few weeks ago). there's a tool you can use to back up your game cart/save, so moving to it wouldn't be too hard (i've heard you can use the same tool on the R4). i'd almost say go with the R4, though, as i can't seem to get most of the AR codes to work with the AceKard (but hey, maybe it's just me, lol). it's whatever you decide! good luck! :D


I don't use "uber" Pokemon, I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.

yea i already tried that... all my usb ports work. and hmm...i didnt know there were different cards like the r4 lol i only knew about the r4 cuz i had to babysit my moms friends 6 years old daughter and she was like "i have 75 nintendo ds games!" i was like holy shiz you brought them all?!?!? and that was when i saw her r4 lol .....

and hmm...waddaya mean by latest drivers?? i have the nds link driver that pops up when you first connect the ards to the computer and i made sure it was in the correct place...but maybe thats my problem??
