Datel Action Replay: Ultimate Pokemon Codes (GBA)

from: Datel Direct Ltd

May 18, 2007
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.

Datel 360 Xport -Docking Station (Xbox 360)

from: Datel Direct Ltd

April 05, 2007
My 120 GB HDD is unusable now that I tried restoring the info I backed from my 20GB HDD into it.

There is apparently a security code in each HDD that prevents you from transferring data in this way. If you over-write this security code with another HDD data it will make your Microsoft warranty void and thus deem your HDD useless as it will not be recognised by your xbox 360.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU WANT TO TRANSFER DATA BETWEEN XBOX 360 HARD DISKS.

So this device is strictly for back up... if your xbox 360 hard disk screws up and dies out, your backed info will be useless. Which kind of defeats the whole purpose of this product. Just don't buy it.

Action Replay (Gamecube/Wii)

Datel seems to have intentionally crippled the manual code input feature, it was a lot of fun to see some of the unexpected effects of codes you entered yourself. Now you're stuck with what they decide to provide you with (if anything).

Consider that previous versions allowed additions of codes and you'll see that you're paying exactly the same money for a product that Datel has devalued.

Seriously think about it before purchasing this device.

Datel FreeLoader (GameCube/Wii)

from: Datel Direct Ltd

Works well until you upgrade the WII to the latest version of the firmware (version 3.0) when this version of freeloader will not work. BE WARNED
Apart from this, I have had NO problems with this on my WII running an NTSC version of Animal Crossing, it was worked 100% of the time.

Action Replay Max Duo (Nintendo DS/GBA)

from: Datel Direct Ltd


This is good, if you know how to use it.

Just get a game save from GameFaq, then backup your old save then send the downloaded save on your DS cartage. Easy, and for example; Animal Crossing is the perfect game to demonstrate the usage of this product. Get the Map Editor, back up your save duplicate it then edit it using the ME. Transfer it back in, walla! A perfect save. Good product, if you know how to use it.

Max Memory 64mb Inc 10 Classic Retro Games (PS2)

from: Datel Direct Ltd

February 06, 2006
Do NOT buy this! It corrupts all save data after it has been filled with more than 10 mb. It's apparently a very common problem with these. I lost well over 40 hours of gameplay because of this memory card!!!

Datel Max Memory 16MB (PS2)

Most of the time this card has served me well however, with some games (namely "Gun" and "Black") the game won't recognise it, so you cannot save anything. Avoid and go for the official Sony cards.

Datel Gaming Headset (PS3)

from: Datel Direct Ltd

June 22, 2007
Didn't buy from amazon but it is the same one as i have got. Despite other negative reviews i think there are many positive things about the headset.It is very cheap compared to others and the sound quality is superb. There are wires which is both good and bad. The good point is that it wil never need charging so you can plug it in and use it from the start. But the wire is not very long and the headset can be damaged easily if you trip over it or forget to take it off. The headset in general will last along time if taken care of properly and it is very good at its job and at £13 you can not go wrong

DVD Region X (PS2)

from: Datel Direct Ltd

July 06, 2001
I recently bought this product and it works fine. However, at first I had problems with just getting a b/w picture. I initially assumed that my TV was not NTSC compatible (most UK bought TVs are nowadays) but after a bit of self-education via the web, realised that it was the scart lead - You must use a true RGB scart lead and not the composite scart lead that comes with the PS2 (with mine anyway). These are readily available from £5 - £15 but you have to be careful as I've seen complaints that some of the cheaper ones are not really RGB. - Hope that's helpful
