Action Replay is the brand name of a cheating device (such as cheat cartridges) created by Datel. The Action Replay is available for many gaming systems including the Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and the Xbox.

Typical features

Typical cheating options include power-ups, level warping, and display of internal game data, which are not normally seen by the player. Some other typical features include:

Power-Saves

Power-Saves by Action Replay are a related series of video-game cheat devices. Unlike the main Action Replay series, which cheats by modifying the game code itself, Power-Saves store the game saves created by Datel, allowing users to cheat without modifying the game code being executed. Power-Saves are available for game systems such as the Wii on an SD card and the Nintendo 3DS.

Versions for computers

The ISA-based Action Replay needs memory-resident drivers for both the real and protected mode. The card has a grabber, a trainer, and a slowdown feature. It can also interrupt the current game or save it to disk (freezer).

Models running firmware 4.0 and beyond use EEP-ROM instead of ROM and thus are upgradeable.

In December 1998, Datel released a version for Windows 95/98.
