About the Snesdump board

Snesdump board is an open source PCB design by xunker, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 36.8 × 88.9 mm, with 17 components from 6 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the 74HC595. By type, the board carries 8 resistors, 3 ICs, 1 connector and 1 capacitor.

PCB for use with SNESdump

A board for use with [https://github.com/cthill/SNESDump].

It is designed completely with through-hole components because that's what most people have lying around.

The routing is ugly because I wanted the board to be compatible with the original code without any changes.

Cartridge Slot (1) - The cartridge slot can be either A scavenged slot from a real SNES or Super-Famicom A compatible 2.5mm 70-pin slot can be used with the appropriate pins yanked out - This slot MUST* be 2.5mm pitch (so-called "metric spacing") and not the more common 2.54mm pitch (0.1 inches)
