"Action Replay is the brand name of a series of devices created by Datel, primarily used for changing the behavior of video games. Currently, Action Replay is available for the Nintendo GameCube (which is compatible with the Wii), Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo DS, and PlayStation Portable (PSP)."
The short version is that on cartridge based systems it plugs in, then your cartridge plugs into it, and it lets you run all kind of cheats, hacks and helps to most games.
On disk based systems it is a disk that lets you edit your saved games, as far as I know.
There are some for most all systems:
