Ack! I swear, it can’t be coincidence that almost all instances of this IR problem occur in Europe. I think it might be related to the different power standards. That said, eBoy has never reported any problems with the units they use.
zytogeist, can you please verify that you’re running the latest firmware? I believe all of the ones eBoy has on hand have that pre-installed, but I could be mistaken. Here’s one way to test: Launch the breakout game. Press and hold NEXT to launch the ball and *while continuing to hold NEXT* quickly flick remote away from the Game Frame and then back at it. If the paddle stops moving, it’s the latest firmware. If it stops briefly when you move the remote away but then starts moving again once the remote returns, it’s the old firmware.
We will figure something out! If you’re running the latest firmware, please email me (jeremy and this domain).
