Hello alll, My son--9 years old--is a longtime Pokemon Platinum player on his DSi. He also uses the ActionReplay thingy. Yesterday, his username suddenly is no longer "EVAN" but rather, it changed into a whole bunch of characters like !!!!??????!!!#$###. He is puzzled and devastated! This is happening with or without the ActionReplay inserted. Can someone help? NDS is not my area of expertise, so I have no idea how to troubleshoot this problem. I suggested we reformat the DSi but he says he'd lose all his games and codes. THANKS!!

Is sounds like the Action Replay glitched your son's game. Sadly there is no way to fix this.

There's your problem. One of the AR codes he added obviously changed his name.

You shouldn't cheat.

It's your fault for buying him an action replay.

You're going to have to make your own code to change your name. I don't know how to do this.

Your son used a cheat code wrongly and a side-effect was a change in the player's name.
