About the SNSP-CPU-1CHIP PCB
SNSP-CPU-1CHIP is an open source PCB design by stonedDiscord, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 155.5 × 161.9 mm, with 222 components from 59 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the S-CPUN(5A122), S-APU, WRAM, 32Kx8_SRAM and UPD6379A. By type, the board carries 74 capacitors, 51 resistors, 45 test points, 11 ICs, 6 connectors and 5 diodes.
From the project
Super Nintendo Entertainment System PAL schematic and board layout
The design tries to be a 1:1 recreation of the original SNSP-CPU-01 Rev5 and SNSP-CPU-1CHIP boards.
If you decide to get it assembled I suggest only getting the bottom side with all the SMD components done and doing the top yourself. The bottom only has jellybean capacitors, resistors, diodes, transistors so it's not going to be very expensive.
For the top you will have to salvage the Nintendo components. The video RAM is still being made by S@Tech (HM62256). The audio RAM can probably also be easily replaced, I haven't looked into this yet. Feel free to open an issue about it.
