Datel Action Replay Power Saves (Nintendo 2DS / 3DS XL / 3DS)

The product works great, it arrived on time and some hours earlier than expected. For those that say that it doesn't work bear in mind that this is region locked, make sure you're buying the right product, this one is for the EU, the pro version is for the US. I recommend this purchase although people should be aware that for now it still has a rather small list of games compatible with it, but the good thing is that is constantly updated with new material. Also for those people having errors make sure you put your serial code without any dashes ( - ), I had that problem and I figured it out. I also recommend not using the cable provided with it as it is a very generic cable and it can be very defective, I doubt it will damage the device but it is very annoying, I suggest using a PS3 controller cable or buying a new one at a local store.

Product works as intended but there are few things that prevents me from giving it 4-5 stars.- - Website on the packaging is incorrect. You can't download software for it. You need to go to Datel website instead or here : https://powersaves3ds.maximummemory.com/ - You always have to be connected to the internet if you want codes! ( which is bad in my opinion, code data base should be something you download ) This results in frustrations because servers are not always up. - Inputting codes is rather cumbersome ( in some games you need to input the code get items then start your 3ds change the slots/inventory spaces then go back to the PowerSaves on Pc and input codes again should you wish for more items ;/ ) - Bad support from the customer service ( contacted them so they could upload new codes for the game because they have updated the content... no reply whatsoever ). Buy it only if the game is too grindy or if you have cash to spend and you don't mind the flaws of the product.

I usually purchase one of these for each new Pokemon game release.The codes given are great for getting special items(and missed special pokemon),as well as loads more to blow your game wide open.The product itself can be broken easily however, if stored safely when not in use it should last you awhile.I will say that a strong Internet connection is needed in order for the codes to be downloaded from the website.ALWAYS back up your save file before use of the device.You'll only 'break' your game if you can't reset it to it's former state .Also,keep the booklet with your licence key as sometimes when the power save needs updating it wipes your code(So you'll need to retype it in).This item works well with Pokemon X/Y/Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby.A new power save,or an update to this one should be available when Pokemon Sun and moon are released.

The product description is very well allocated in regard to the product itself. I have never used Action Replay before and I am happy to say that this was a perfect appliance for a beginner like myself. The smallest issue I have is that the appliance occasionally disconnects from the laptop despite the USB port being plugged in, although this may as well be that my laptop is faulty itself. On the other hand, I was very pleased to see that most of the Wonder card pokemon you can receive are legit, such as some mythical event pokemon that I missed out on. All in all, I am very glad to say that the PowerSaves upload speed is fast and I will continue to complete my pokedex 😉.

There are issues that came along buying this, you will need to make sure you have the correct type of region for the right type of powersaves, this one works with PAL cartridges which are EU games. You will probably have to end up buying a replacement USB because the one it comes with will cause the device not to work properly, I recommend a PS3 controller charger, it works well and its cheap. As for it working for your game, look no further, I just recommend not activating too many cheats in one go since there have been reports of this device breaking games permanently, in order to avoid such problems, the user should probably only use one or two cheats at a time and then unplug the device for every use.

For all you guys out there saying that the PowerSaves 3DS is faulty and doesn't work, your wrong! The only reasons why it won't read Animal Crossing or Pokémon X & Y is because them games uses NAND saving, which is more of a secure save file towards most of the 3DS titles but Datel found a way around them files so that the PowerSaves can work. But for some people might insert they're Pokémon X cart into the PowerSaves and the screen will spam with 'error loading cartridge' and 'no device found' or that there's no codes or PowerSaves, the reason why this happens is because you didn't type in a valid 'product key' and maybe your cartridge is filthy but it might look clean to you but trust me, you will never know how much dust particles are in there. Just get a cotton swab and pour a little drop of 'Rubbing alcohol' on the tip so that it's damp, then just rub the metal grids. If you don't have rubbing alcohol, you can use water and dry the swab with a towel so that it's fairly damp and rub the grids on the back. So you gotta make sure everything is perfect before use

Worked rarely when first purchased. But now I've been trying to apply codes for days without success. Their servers are ALWAYS having issues. So you try apply the codes and their servers are terrible so the program crashes. You can't close it when it's in progress to protect save data (fair enough) so you have to force quit the program and try again. Repeat this infuriating process for 3 hours and you may get to apply one code if you're lucky. FYI, I am the only person paying for and using my fibre optic broadband which works fine both streaming and gaming on console. I also am using a brand new MacBook Pro which is an extremely capable laptop for using complex programs supporting a long list of plugins. It's not me, it's them. There are plenty of other suitable options for save altering on your 3DS so DO NOT BUY THIS! I would email them but last time I emailed them regarding yet another problem I've had with their PowerSaves Pro they simply just did not respond. Maybe this used to work which is why there are some good reviews, But it hasn't worked for the last 3 months.

So the way in which this device works is, you start a game save for example (Pokemon X) and progress through the game to a reasonable stage, for example you have seen at least one Pokemon centre and have access to Pokemart items in the first village. You boot this device up and you can select pre-installed cheats which you would like to activate and hit save; you cannot add any other codes. Your save information and selected cheats are uploaded onto Action Replays database, re-coded (adding the cheats you wanted) and resent down into your physical cartridge; basically enhancing your exact save, with the new things you requested. There is a back-up feature whereby it stores an exact copy of your current game save, so if anything goes wrong and your cartridge corrupts, you can just restore your old save before you tried to activate a bad or corrupted cheat (in theory). MY ISSUES with this device are: as with most cheat devices, they invest heavily on software, but throw together the cheapest, flimsiest physical crap I've ever seen. I've had to send this device back to Amazon for a full refund because the "once working" cheat device, began being insanely temperamental to the extent where I would waste minutes disconnecting and connecting the device into my computer until it actually worked. The cheat device is so poorly made, that I noticed that I would have to hold the physical device in a certain way so that my computer recognised it (this is not an issue that only I'm having, read other reviews). The cable they provide you is boarder-line garbage mass produced junk, and the plastic cheat device feels almost empty. There is clearly testing issues with these products which make a fantastic bit of kit, absolutely useless after a few uses. So my verdict is unfortunately mixed; I've obviously ordered another device and sent mine back (got a full refund, waiting for new one to arrive) - so obviously I like the device (WHEN IT WORKS), as the cheats are golden, making game progression a joke, giving you access to rare content and allowing you to safely store your saves onto your computer which is always a good thing (in case your cartridge goes missing, stolen etc). But you have to pray that you'll get a WORKING cheat device which lasts more than a couple days, mine went from working 80% of the time, to one week later only working about %10 of the time; to clarify, I mean the connection problem, it dosent detect the device even being plugged into your computer and you'll have to sit there un-plugging and re-plugging the device until it works, or worst case scenario it'll eventually be un-usable and you'll definitely have to return it.

Fonctionne super bien

Ha funcionado durante años

Llegó en perfecto estado y funciona al 100, lo recomiendo ampliamente

~ Versione : Base (quella da 16 euro circa) ~ ~ Utilizzo: Pokemon ultrasole e ultraluna ~ Prima di acquistare questo powersaves due domande mi frullavano per la testa... 1. Funziona con pokemon usum?! 2. Devo prendere la versione pro o basta la versione base?! Bene, con questa recensione risponderò a chi come me si è posto le stesse domande. Il power saves fondamentalmente è un pezzo di plastica, un pezzo di plastica che permette di estrarre e reinserire un salvataggio nella schedina di gioco. Il programma scaricabile dal sito invece è un programma in continuo aggiornamento dove periodicamente vengono aggiunti nuovi trucchi e nuovi giochi compatibili, quindi pokemon ultrasole e ultraluna vengono tranquillamente riconosciuti e supportati dal programma! (Come scritto nel sito ufficiale, quando si procede al download del software) •Pokemon• I codici sono in inglese ma sono facilmente identifiabili da tutti. Tra i vari codici possiamo trovare quelli per modificare la propria borsa: aggiungendo strumenti, soldi, bacche, punti lotta ecc... Quelli per modificare il personaggio: aggiungendo i vestiri, gli stili di lancio pokeball e addirittura cambiarlo da maschio a femmina. E infine, i trucchi per i pokemon: modifica iv, ev, shiny, clonazione, mosse, pokeball di cattura ecc... L’unica pecca è che non possono essere modificati i soprannomi e il nome allenatore del pokemon e che non si possono avere pokemon che non si hanno ma per apportare modifiche bisogna partire da una specie già esistende di quel pokemon. Rimane comunque uno strumento fantastico che permette di fare un sacco di cose per veramente pochi euro, consiglio comunque di non abusarne altrimenti si perde un po la voglia nel giocare.

Perfetto. Fantastico.
