GB Hunter

The GB Hunter is one of two Nintendo 64 items released by EMS Production Ltd. the other being the N64 Passport. It is a Game Boy emulator for the Nintendo 64. A N64 game is plugged into the back of the item and a Game Boy cartridge is plugged into the top. Like the Super Game Boy it allows the player to use Game Boy games on your television. No sound from the original Game Boy games are emulated. [http://www.gameboy-advance.net/accessories/gba_to_tv_adapter.htm] Instead there is a 'GB Hunter theme' that plays continually while the Game Boy game is displayed. There is also a cheating device programmed into it, called the "Golden Finger" much like the Game Genie, or Game Shark. Holding the 'L' and 'R' buttons simultaneously will cause the game to freeze at that point and the GB Hunters' Menu to appear. The Game Screen can be maximized or minimized, from the Main menu, allowing the player to see the game full screen. The GB Hunters color pallet can also be changed from the menu, to view the game in a variety of the 3 different colors.

Criticism

Most sellers of this item, on eBay and other places such as the EMS site itself, do not mention that the video game sounds while being played on the GB Hunter are not emulated. Rather, users are subjected to the theme song of the GB Hunter, which loops endlessly.
