Thinking of importing a few games, how many different versions of Freeloader are there and which is the most up to date one?

I had a 1.6 way back when the freeloader came out, are they still on the 1.6 version? Also if I got an Action replay would this work with all upcoming games as far as Datel know?

I'm guessing some will need a code to work properly or something.

Latest version of AR is 1.8. I recently (last week) sent my AR 1.6 back to Datel in return for the 1.8 so that it would work with the Datel Keyboard (It took too long to input the codes by hand) which requires 1.7 minimum. I was very pleased with the 1.8, not only could I use the keyboard, It also had more than twice as many codes as the last one.

How much did this cost? I emailed Datel and said I would have to pay £5. I'm not too bothered about paying, but I don't want to pay a fiver every time a new version comes out.

Mmh, well freeloader is at 1.6b as people have already said. AR is at version 1.8 it seams, if you can afford it, get an AR because when a new game comes out and you import it, it *may* not work on your freeloader or action replay, but, at least with an AR you can go to the website and they'll give you a code to enter into it, therfore letting you play it!

Freeloader however, if it doesnt work, you'll have to send it back to them until they release a new version... which in time, becomes very pointless. Having to keep sending it here there and everywhere every week.

AR AR AR. Go get one :o)
