Well Worth the money
Okay I realise all the reviews on this cheat system might not be so good but I bought one of these for my games and I must say Im surprised to find it was better than whats been said I used to have another cheat system which would crash alot but this one seems to work perfectly

if you have bought an import game then your game will not work however nintendo gba games will load and the cheats for it are amazing

DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!
I bought this for my daughter for her 11th birthday and it proved absolute rubbish.
It started off by not loading, and then when we did get it to load, only one of the cheats would work.
Disapointed, we then tried it with a different game, hoping for a better result. It loaded ok, but then crashed. We tried again, and this time I amm happy to report that the cheats DID work. But only for a few seconds.
A few weeks later, we tried the game again, only to find that it wouldn't load at all and the gameboy wouldn't turn on with it in.
So really, unless you enjoy being disapointed, do not buy this game. It is terrible value for money and we have recived no satisfaction from it.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
This cartridge does not do exactly what it says on the tin, i cant use it to get any new pokemon, it often crashes and many of the items and warp to location cheats dont work. ive tried it on two games so far and checked the online support which is non-existant, furthermore is the call helpline charges £1 an hour. if you want deoxys or anything else you'd be better off getting a ticket to japan.

Good news and Bad news
Good news - This device enabled me to get hold of some pokemon which I would never be able to get hold of otherwise (eg. Jirachi, Celebi, etc.)

Bad news - I you are buying this for legendary pokemon Mew and Deoxys look elsewhere - if you unlock them in Pokemon Leaf green or fire red they will not obey you and are effectively useless. and if you unlock them in Ruby and Saphire they are obedient but cannot be traded to Colluseum or Xd gale of darkness in short buy a full version of action replay which allows you to input codes - many online gamers have found ways round the problems of unlocking Mew and deoxy's which aren't possible with this product.

Confusing
This product is excellent for use with Ruby and Sapphire (just be aware you can only use one code at a time), no problems whatsoever, rare pokémon easily obtained!

However!

This product is 100% useless with leafgreen. The codes don't seem to work and appear to corrupt the game information (ie instead of having 99 pokéballs you'll have "?36"). I haven't tried to save after loading cheats because I'm scared to, but with ruby/sapphire, all you need to do is choose your pokémon and it's there in slot 1 of box 1. (It'll overwrite the pokémon there, if there is one). With leafgreen you choose your pokémon on the action replay and it doesn't appear in a random battle, and if you go into your stored pokemon boxes, the game crashes. There doesn't seem to be a guide on the internet on how to fix this and the manual is totally unhelpful.

To sum up, buy this if you have ruby and sapphire, it's invaluable, (especially if you missed the masterball, like I did) but don't bother for firered/leafgreen- it just doesn't seem to have an effect.
