Chinese speaker here, Golden Finger is a literal translation of 金手指, which is an umbrella term for cheat devices (Game Genie, Action Replay etc.) here in Taiwan. Judging from this video, seems like Hong Kong gamers also called them by the same name. The name stems from the metal contacts on the cartridge looking like gold-colored fingers, but it only applies to the cheat devices and not the cartridges themselves.

@pizzamon 79 Haha, I wish! My only retro gaming cred is that I still have a working NES (not Famicom btw, back in the day in Taiwan we had the Japanese version and carts, I grew up in Canada so our family had a North American NES), and my mom only ever allowed me to buy four NES games aside from the SMB1/Duck Hunt bundled cart, but if Norman does want to run anything related to the East Asia market through me I'd be more than willing to help out! (on an entirely unrelated side note, I've been speedrunning SMB1 and SMB3 on original equipment, but I've only just begun for about a year)

Kevin Wang very interesting. I once had my hands on a Chinese Famiclone which came with a lot off rip-off games (original Famicom titles with some changed assets). It had some similar cheat code system. As a kid I never knew how to get it working, though. :P
@kevwang0712
@kevwang0712 6 жыл бұрын
Seems to be a common theme. Once when I was staying in a hostel in southern Taiwan, they also had a Famiclone that uses proper carts instead of having the games built in, and there also seemed to be some sort of mysterious cheat code system. Of course the games on the 70-in-1 cart were all ripoffs

I’d like to explain more about Golden finger. Golden finger is a straight translation from Chinese “金手指”. Basically, a golden finger includes two function. One is the same function as well as Game gene. Another is technologically a number detector. In mainland of China, it was pretty hard to have a real Nintendo licensed cartridge in 1990s and 2000s. In this case, most people use emulator. When the game was hard, people can use software to search specific number, then make the number change variously to make sure software does detect the number. Then the software will change the number. For this process there are two ways. One is by changing the save data , we used this way to cheat when we playing Pokémon. Another is by changing the actual game data when the game is running. I believe golden finger uses the second way.

Thanks for explaining! I remember hearing about the golden finger as a kid and my friends thought it was this magical device that could translate Japanese games into English (I imported Pokemon Gold when it was first released which is how this came up at school). I guess it's more of a cheat device and not as magical as my 10-year-old mind made it seem back then. :)

+EposVox Actually, it isn’t… Detel’s GBHunter (sorry, didn’t save the PAL region’s name; GBHunter wasn’t directly marketed by Detel) uses three channel, square wave only sound at a very low bitrate and with no real idea of what could have even been done with the completely lacklustre amount of playroom that gives you. Most of the keygens actually had decent music to them, even if it may not have been to your taste. About 90% of them actually use music from the demo scene back in the 8-bit era. Think about the famous c64 SID chip, or MOD- or StreamTracker modules from the Amiga, to name two of the main ‘providers’. Something that can definitely _NOT_ be said for whatever piece of junk has been used to compensate for the lack of audio support in Detel’s products. Speaking of audio, I actually was amazed to hear that absolutely _none_ of those devices even _tried_ to do anything with the original game’s audio in the first place. Apart from the GBA TV converter, that is…

10:35: Could've also mentioned that up until System Menu 3.0 and the dawn of Wii homebrew, the Advance Game Port was the only way of playing GBA games on the wii, as the Game Boy Player was the only GC accessory incompatible with the Wii. System Menu 3.0 however prevented unofficial GC software from being used with the Wii, making the Advance Game Port unusable with the Wii.

So it is trying to match the English audio to Korean words and then translate the Korean to English. The fact that it does this in real time is impressive and some of the results are funny.

6:50 Weird that you don't know what V-sync means. It's a really common thing in gaming. It means the frames will be rounded down to what your monitor can display. With V-sync it slows it down slightly to make sure it won't push an image if the monitor isn't yet ready to display it. Without that you can get screen tearing where you have two halves of an image and you can see the seam because they are not identical.

The GB operator is a nice 3rd party Game Boy Player for PC. Not only does it play GB, GBC, and GBA games, but it also has emulation features like cheat codes and controller support. It has no dealbreakers at all, nothing that makes it worse than a Game Boy Player. It can be used on a smart TV with screen sharing tools if you don't like playing on your monitor. It also has support for features like putting your GB camera photos on your computer (and maybe you'll be able to use your GB camera as a webcam soon) and backing up your saves in case you need to replace a dead battery. (I know this video was made 3 years before the release of the GB operator, but it was relevant to this video)

Ah, Datel... Purveyors of trash, as seen in this episode. I wasn't aware of their Game Cube add-on. I did have the GBA TV Converter back when it was new and don't remember having major issues, but I picked one up recently and had an even worse image than you demonstrated in the video! Either I got lucky back in the day, or my eyes weren't working at the time. *shrugs*

Good Video and nice too see that someone made another Video about this "Things". I also made one Video about the Playstation Version and had a hard Time with the Research, but can say that there are a least 4 Verison of this Adapter. The first one is like the N64 Version (and as far as I could find, also the only Version for the N64), the Second one is a Version with no Sound at all and the Third one is the one with the Build in CD Player Funktion. The forth one is an Version with an Switch on the Side, where you could toggle bethween the GB Booster and an Action Replay (Gold FInger) for the Playstation itself. The mysterious Save Backup Funktion is for the Gamesave. The Adapter is, like you sayd, an Software Emulator and dont uses the Module itself (you can unplug the Modul after the Game is loaded). The Save Backup Funktion writes the Savefile back to the GameBoy Game, if you dont do this, all Progress is gone. Little Fun Fact on the SIde. The inbuild Game is a Bootleg. Rebound Mission is known als Pokemission 97 and was programmed by Anders Granlund in the Mid 90s.

It always struck me as odd that Nintendo never launched an N64 cartridge that would work with the Transfer Pack and let people play their games through that. The closest we got was a very limited set of N64 games (Pokémon Stadium) that would work with an equally limited set of GameBoy games (Pokémon R/B/Y/G/S). Even then, your GameBoy game needed to be saved in a Pokémon Centre to get to work. I heard rumours that Perfect Dark 64 would work with Perfect Dark GB and GameBoy Camera through the Transfer Pack, but apparently never materialized.
