From the project
A module for the Flipper Zero to connect to the Gameboy via the link port
This is a module I worked on as a project to learn about PCB design, but to also learn about KiCAD, which is the program that was used to create this. I used GAME BOY Pokemon Trading MALVEKE to create this. Check is out because he is a way smarter guy than I.
If you want a simple way to get the PCB it is up in OshPark.
I use his GPIO layout so you will want to do the same on your flipper zero. If you use his Pokemon app in flipper.net then it will be the under "Select Pinout" > "Original".
