Action Replay (GC): Difference between revisions

Messed around with 4.0 and for my surprise it works fine. Tested in 2.0 also to fill the gap, purged older problems. Despite needing MemCard B toggle and IPL dump to work, it´s perfect, but I´m unsure about the rating, leaving as 4 for now...

=== Broken in older revisions ===
=== IPL ROM dump required ===
A crash occurs at launch if using {{revision|6087}} or older. Works good on {{revision|6088}} or newer, however, using this cheat device would be considered more or less unnecessary, as the emulator already has built-in Action Replay support.
Action Replay will always crash at boot or freeze in a black screen unless Skip BIOS is disabled and DSP LLE is selected. Skip BIOS can only be disabled if an IPL dump from a real GameCube is present in User\GC.


=== Swap Disc issues ===
=== Action Replay hardware ===
Some discs can't be swapped, causing Action Replay to recognize disc as "Unknown" and, sometimes, crashing the emulator.
Action Replay will complain about missing hardware if no Memory Card is selected for Slot B. When you select "Start Game" or "Freeloader" in the main menu, Action Replay will freeze in "Updating Action Replay Hardware" screen, but disabling and reenabling the Memory Card from slot B in Dolphin (while emulation is running) will unfreeze it, allowing the disc to be swapped and the game to start.
