I am in the process of writing replacement software for un-bricking & re-flashing, (as well as cheatdb editing), the Gameboy Action Replay / Gameshark, due to the original PC software no longer functioning on modern OSs.

As part of this I am trying to track down copies of the original PC software used with them, to see if there are any differentiating files between the various regional releases (specifically in the way of any potential on-disc firmware updates and/or skin files.)

Does anyone still own the original discs for the following devices and would be willing to help me do some digging?
(I am not asking for any files/isos of the discs in question, just for some information, and/or potentially buying said discs off of users if willing.)

Action Replay Online (Europe/Australia)
Action Replay Xtreme (Europe/Australia)
Action Replay Xtreme Special Edition (Europe/Australia)
Gameshark Special Edition (North America)
Pro Action Replay 4MAX, (Asia)

    I bought the game at launch never fucked with it until recently
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Its fun, I like it, even tho I'm not a big harry potter fan. Like a wizard rpg. Flying around on a broomstick is cool.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Flying sucks ass on it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Nuh just takes a min to get used to. I think you can upgrade or buy new broomstick also that are better.
