Questions

How big is the Gameboy interface card PCB?

It measures 110.5 × 134 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Gameboy interface card use?

36 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Gameboy interface card KiCad files?

From the Maboey/Gameboy-pi repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/Gameboy-interface-card.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/Gameboy-interface-card.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Gameboy interface card design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Maboey before reusing the design.
