Yes, so action replay does have a different format, and I've tried both versions. This stuff fascinates me, and I'm happy to help test solutions, but my knowledge is quite limited =(. In my searching I saw a similar thread on Reddit, and someone suggested the Original Poster post an Issue on GitHub, but I didn't see it so I thought I would.Īgain, thanks for the help.

I see some solutions (again, doesn't work for everyone) that they needed a ggenie.bin or proactionreplay file in their bios. Again, why it helps some and not others I have no idea.
