Red Action Replay

[kfred]

Im in the US, trying to see what the red boxed version of the PAL pro action replay (NOT german version) would cost me, and if anyone has one to move. Also, is there any difference between the red box and black box versions?

I'm not 100% sure on differences but I can tell you I have had issues with the red one on my NTSC system. The black one seems to work flawlessly so far. (Both are German) There is a thread on here about compatibility problems and use on US consoles. I think it may depend on your BIOS. Alex Kidd BIOS I believe should work, missile defense???, Snail maze -no way, Hang on/safari hunt???
Maybe gallos_11 can help
Edit (with compatibility info) not actually finding/selling/trading a PAR

I had the red one and foolishly sold it. It worked perfect on my ntsc console. thats good to here the black box one works perfectly. Thank you

I don't know if there are any differences between black and red versions, but the red one seems to be more rare. You'll come across various comments about compatibility issues for each version, but I still haven't managed to make things totally clear. So far my conclusion is:

Black version
- English: works with all PAL/NTSC systems (and the Japanese)
- German: works with all PAL and some NTSC systems (e.g. v1.3 - Snail Maze)

Red version
- English: works with all PAL - no info about NTSC
- German: works with all PAL - no info about NTSC

The compatibility seems to depend on the BIOS, as Rastanfarian said.

The cost for buying one is up to you, I can't give a specific price range.
Good luck!

I sold my black one just recently to a pal in the US, and I believe the black version is the cheaper of the two. The red one is a bit more uncommon. Hard to give you an estimate price, it seems to vary a lot (also depending on where you plan to get one from)
