It is certainly not worth the money! Around 80% of these cheats don't work and
it corrupted one of my saved files and deleted another!

I have owned this Action Replay for over 3-4 years, and I have one thing to say:
If it ruins your games or systems, you're using it wrong.
The Action Replay is a very simple item to use. The first thing is the codes. Its preset list of codes is decent (I have an old one after owning it so long, so I'd assume the newer ones have even more codes), but lots of times, you'll have to enter new ones on your own if they're not there. The official website has a lot of codes, and updates fairly often. But often times, they don't have many codes for really awesome games, and stop updating after a while. So what do you do if you can't find a code there? Well, there are lots of other sites to find them (my personal favorite is Action Replay Central). Entering codes is pretty simple too. You have an on screen keyboard controlled by a regular controller (there's an additional keyboard you can buy separately, but I don't own it, so I can't tell you how good it is). Some people might have complaints about the time it takes to type in longer codes, and I sort of agree. But it really isn't all that horrible, because it's just that easy.
Another thing, since the Gamecube uses discs, you'll never ruin your games by using the action replay (unlike cheating devices for older consoles that use cartridges). All codes go away after you close the console, unless you save after using codes that give you, for example, all characters unlocked , or a lot of money.
The Action Replay also has a built in Freeloader. The freeloader basically allows you to play gamecube games from other regions that normally wouldn't work on a different Gamecube. So you'll be able to play a Japanese game on an American system, which is helpful for playing games only released in Japan, or if you just want to import a game.
The Action Replay also has other options, like a few different Languages. The memory card that saves codes can't hold game saves, but it can hold tons of codes. I've entered lots of codes, and mine is still at 94%.
I personally don't even use my AR to cheat. I use codes to do fun things like flying around, jumping really high, and going to levels that you might not be able to see normally. I don't save, and I never have any left over messes from using codes. My disc has gotten pretty scratched, which is mostly my fault, but it still works excellently.
The Action Replay for Gamecube is a must buy. Whether you need help beating games, or you just want to have fun, it's a perfect item for any gamer.

This does not work on either of my gamecubes. Absolutely pathetic that no mention was made of this by anyone. I emailed customer support at Datel and got NO RESPONSE for 4 days, in fact it's been 2 weeks now and I'm still waiting.Then I called their phone number and was told by an automated system they could not take my call so I should try the website. Thanks alot you idiots you didn't help me there either.Terrible customer support. They should be ashamed! So then I try to take it back to EB. NO! it's beyond their exchange policy. Do Not buy this product!

Beware that the latest shipping version of the AR for GameCube (1.20) does not allow you to enter in new codes. This means no codes for new games which are relased after this AR, and no updated codes for existing games.
It also means NO homebrew!
If you expect to be able to update the codes or use the AR for homebrew on you Wii or GameCube, make sure you get a pre 1.20 version of the action replay disk. The disk version is printed on the ring on the back of the disk.
Also make sure if you buy an AR disk used, you get also the dongle, or have the ability to get the AR codes onto a GC memory card somehow. 1.20 does not require the dongle but older versions of the disk will not function without either the supplied dongle or a GC card pre-loaded with AR codes. Beware!
I am guessing the reason Datel disabled this feature on the 1.20 version is that they recently released the SD Media Launcher package. So if you want codes + homebrew you have to pay twice. Thanks for sticking it to me, Datel!

After my first hour of using it, it started pulling up error messages saying that the disk was dirty and to please turn off the system. The memory may be huge but it gets corrupted really fast. I would sugest getting a bigger memory card and playing the game the way it was meant to be played. WITH OUT CHEATS!!
