1. The codes are valid:
* The codes you're using might be legitimate and work as intended. Action Replay codes are typically generated by players who reverse engineer the game's data and find ways to manipulate it.
* Some codes might be outdated or for a different version of the game (e.g., US vs. European). Make sure you are using codes specifically for Pokemon Platinum.
2. Your Action Replay is working properly:
* Your Action Replay device needs to be correctly connected to your Nintendo DS and have the right firmware.
* The Action Replay software might have specific settings that need to be adjusted for your game.
3. The game itself might be susceptible to manipulation:
* Some games are more vulnerable to cheating than others. Pokemon Platinum might have certain loopholes that allow codes to work even if they aren't intended.
4. Luck:
* Sometimes, even codes that are not supposed to work might accidentally function due to glitches or inconsistencies in the game's code.
Here are some things you can do to troubleshoot:
* Double-check the codes: Ensure the codes are accurately entered and are meant for Pokemon Platinum.
* Update your Action Replay: Make sure you have the latest firmware and software updates for your device.
* Research the codes: Look for information online about the codes you're using. See if other users have reported success with the same codes.
* Test with different codes: Try using other known working codes for Pokemon Platinum to see if your Action Replay is functioning correctly.
Remember:
* Using Action Replay codes can potentially harm your save data.
* Using codes in online play is generally frowned upon and could result in penalties.
* Be aware of the risks associated with cheating and make sure you understand the potential consequences before using Action Replay.
