I do not know how you did it (I did not think it was possible to breed via codes, but I have never tried).

I just assumed everyone had to use 1 of those devices, as I've never read that they used or did anything else...

Anyway, if you do decide to purchase 1 of those, I do not think they make the X-PORT anymore, but I just bought that Action Replay Max made by datel, at the local game store (did not have to go online to buy it).

Hopefully, someone here knows more than I about this.
