Overview
NEScartridge is an open-source printed circuit board by Minorzar, from the Minorzar/2324_Projet2A_NES repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board with 39 parts on 157 nets, routed with 681 tracks and 44 vias.
It is built around the TXS0108EPW. Its parts include 18 capacitors, 9 resistors, 9 ICs and 1 connector. It belongs with the retro computing and games boards of this library.

1README
README.mdFPGA NES - Student Project
This repository contains a recreation of the NES console (EU edition) in VHDL language. We used Quartus for all of the VHDL part of the project, and uploaded it on the DE1-SoC board RevC (Cyclone V). Also, this project have a PCB designed for the FPGA board to be able to connect with the NES cartridge. (Realised under KiCad 7.0+).
Notes : 6502 CPU
A part of this project replicates the 6502 CPU in VHDL language. Feel free to use whatever part of the code for your projects.
Note: We aim to create a repository which contains only the 6502. A link will be added to this repository when it will be done.
Repository Structure
- Hardware : The PCB for the Cartridge adaptator. Use the V5 currently. Only the latest version of it will be available later. You still need to buy the cartridge lector himself online, because the PCB only replicate a part of the PCB of the NES.
- Software : Contains the architecture in VHDL of the NES. Details later on the readme.
- Datasheet : Contains all the datasheets used for the project. All other data comes from the NESdev wiki.

Questions
What parts does the NEScartridge use?
39 parts, built around the TXS0108EPW. 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 NEScartridge KiCad files?
From the Minorzar/2324_Projet2A_NES repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/NES_V3/NEScartridge.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/NES_V2/NEScartridge.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the NEScartridge design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Minorzar before reusing the design.
