From the project
A replacement circuit board for improving the Super Game Boy, or for creating a standalone Game Boy game for the SNES.
This board is the MBC5 variant, useful for making standalone MBC5-based Game Boy games for the Super Nintendo. You can also use this board completely without the Game Boy parts to make an enhanced SGB board with link port and modified clock.
The zipped folder contains all the gerber files for this board. The following options must be chosen when ordering boards for yourself.
