From the project
MBC30 Version of the MBC3 flashcart for 4MB roms
MBC30 Flashcart inspired by retroreboot's MBC3 cartridge.
Make sure to select the "2 oz copper, 0.8mm thickness" option before checkout
Make sure you order with the following settings:
Gold Fingers: Yes (45° chamfered border)
Note: Capacitors and Resistor part numbers are suggestions, you can use other components with matching specs
On 1.4.1 boards the flash should be soldered the other way around, as the indicator is wrong
