PCB - Cartridge for original gameboy games with no mapper

This pcb is for flashing DMG games with no mapper such as the original Tetris game, or custom roms. The board is designed to take a PLCC-32 Socket + EEPROM Chip which can be removed from the socket and re-flashed to change gameboy ROMs. In order to make this cartridge you will need some soldering experience or determination plus the items listed in the BOM.

PCB is ready to be fabricated from anyone who takes gerber files - my fabricator of choice is PCBWay as they are professional and relatively quick. Feel free to open the files in KiCad and explore, modify and make your own variations of…
