From the project
Schematics and circuit board to output video from the SEGA Game Gear to a TV via the RGBS video standard (using a Nintendo Multi-out)
I added a Nintendo multi-out connector to the board so I could use cables I already owned for easy testing, however, it's straightforward to wire up your chosen/custom cable to the enlarged pads on the board.
Included in this repository are: 1. Schematics (KiCad) 2. PCB files (KiCad) 3. Production files including: - Gerber files - BOM file (Bill of Materials) - Placement file
