You can use your own memory card to save action replay codes. So you don't really need to use the one sent with the actual disc, it just has a lot of preloaded codes. So if anything gets corrupted you can just use your own memory card and type the codes in again, although I recommend backing up your data so if it gets deleted you can just copy it again and again and you don't ever have to worry about losing data. Make sure that there is no disc in the system before you copy it because mostly things get corrupted for what you do on the action replay, you don't need that disc to copy data.

amazon's info about this product is incorrect.
this item is STILL being produced by its company
and in fact can be purchased at their website;
that also brings to mind my other fact/warning
DO NOT BUY THIS ON AMAZON!!!!
the sellers want 48-50 dollars for it.
you can go to the company website and buy it for $29.99
other then that i love this device was the only
way i managed to "finish" wind waker.

I recently bought a new version of the Action Replay for the Nintendo Gamecube I believe it is version 1.20 and I found out that you can not add new codes to the disc or anything. I am stuck with the old codes and no way to put new codes on there for my new fave game Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.. so if you are reading this than beware that you can not update it and Datel will not warn you..

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.
