Reproduction PCB for PC Engine GT/TurboExpress
This repository contains a recreation of the main board PCB for NEC's PC Engine GT/TurboExpress handheld console. The recreation is based on the available schematics for the TurboGrafx-16 and reverse engineering using scanned images of an original board's copper layers, so should be a reasonably accurate reproduction.
NOTE: In order to use these PCBs sucessfully you will need to be proficient in:
