Questions

How big is the GBOY PCB?

It measures 53 × 65 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.8 mm thick.

What parts does the GBOY use?

16 parts, built around the 27C256-17/J and 74HC74D. 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 GBOY KiCad files?

From the RWeick/Datel-Gameboy-Pro-Action-Replay repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is GBOY.kicad_pcb and its schematic GBOY.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the GBOY design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
