warning: may be illegal depending were you live and laws. we will use roms and emulator. make sure that you have the game and system the emulator and roms are for or it is illegal.
now then. on to the Instructable. please make sure you are familiar with the format of action replay codes and hexdecimal.
in part one of this you learned how to change the back 8 numbers in the code. in this you will learn simple and complex ways to edit the code. the complex way uses emulators and roms and hacking systems so only pros should really attempted complex.
things needed:
action replay(duh)
game system that goes with the action replay(duh)
game to hack
how to count in hexdecimal
have read part one of this instructable
for complex only
emulator and rom for the game

Ok, since I've been arrested for this type of stuff, listen up! Emulators, they are NOT illegal to have, run, or share (Unless the emulator is created as payware, and you didn't pay).
It is illegal to OWN A ROM..... PERIOD. There isn't any imaginary law that says "If you own the game, you may make as many copies as you like", there was a "law" sony released a while back that attempted to limit the use of music CD's once you've purchased them.... thats about as close as it gets in Northamerica, or Canada.
Microsoft also allows you to copy windows, since it isn't the disk that is special, but rather your CD key for that version of windows.
I don't know of a single game maker that allows you to make copies of their games, whether you've purchased them or not. It's part of their intellectual rights, and the rights assigned to the game. There has been a rumor for a while already that once you purchase a game, it's YOURS..... actually you just own the plastic CD it's printed on, you do not own the rights to that data, just because you paid $29.95 for it!! LOL
This is a prime example of why you don't believe everything you hear, even if you've heard it 1,000 times from 1,000 different people..... before the great explorer's of the world set out, 1,000's thought the world was flat!
The fact is Roms can be illegal, and I don't know about you, but I would rather not take the chance.
Not true in any sense. When a copyright is involved it completly changes the situation. The data for a game is own by the company who made it, and dispersing that for free is illegal because it directly causing the company to lose money.
If roms were legal, none would ever be made. Why do you think video games of any sort are made anyway? To make money, and by making ROM's legal you tank the entire industry.
You make ROM's legal, and you distroy the video game industry.
A ROM is the exact file on a ds game card, no changes at all.

You also have to think, every Rom you download is money lost to the company that worked hard to make that game. When ever you download a Rom, you are doing the equivalent of going into Gamestop and stealing it. Ofcoarse, i'm sure you think that stealing a game from Gamestop is wrong, so why would you download Rom's?
Whats the chances that your going to stumble on an NES game that was never released, never fully completed? well demo cart is undoubtedly going to be extremely rare. probably slim to none. a rom would let you be able to play the game. and it's not liek they made money or are continuing to make this game.
0123456789AB
A_B_C_
If you entered the address of A, you'd have the value "01234567". If you only added 2, and entered the address of B, you'd have the value "456789AB". Lets say you CHANGED A to FFFFFFFF. If you then look at B, it would be "FFFF89AB", which may or may not be what you intend.
Again, though, this is assuming the Action Replay memory addressing is roughly similar to other computer memory systems. And the addressing may be reversed (IE, above, I assume A + 2 = B. It might be A - 2 = B), but I just thought I'd point it out that going by 4's may prevent memory overlapping.
