Ps1-memory card usb: common questions

What microcontroller does the Ps1-memory card usb use?

The Ps1-memory card usb is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Ps1-memory card usb PCB?

The Ps1-memory card usb measures 36.2 × 63.1 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Ps1-memory card usb?

40 components, from 17 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Ps1-memory card usb design files?

From the fabPlane/ps1-memory-card-usb repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Ps1-memory card usb design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which fabPlane chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Ps1-memory card usb without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
