Every time I think of how bad the IR controllers on the Retron 3 are I'm reminded of that little AtGames Genesis clone with the SD card slot on the back, the one that had the fake Wii-esque controllers. That thing (the AtGames clone with no cartridge slot) has the best IR controllers of all time. At pretty much any position within 30 feet the controllers will respond without issue. I suppose the secret to good cheap IR is to coat the controller with IR emitters.
