This release fixes many problems with the Game Boy Pocket and problems with PCBs that seem to not work with previous versions. If you had an Interceptor that seemed to be faulty compared to others, please read on.

  • Fix: Erratic clock timing measurement on Game Boy Pocket, causing problems in many games
  • Fix: Interceptor does not start after power cycle on some boards. If you have a board that seems to work after uploading the firmware, but stops working after you unplugged and reconnected it, this will quite certainly fix it. This occurs on boards on which the crystal oscillator takes a bit longer to settle. This can simply be the consequence of manufacturing tolerances and seems to occur in roughly 1 out of 20 Interceptors. This fix simply waits a few milliseconds longer, which should have no negative side effect whatsoever.

To update press and hold the [Flash] button (usually inside your case) while connecting the Interceptor via USB and drag the uf2 file below into its file system.
