Recommended PCB specs:
-
2 layers
-
99mmx137mm
-
1.2mm thickness
-
ENIG surface finish (ENIG will last longer and will be better in the long run, but is more expensive. You could get away with HASL if necessary)
-
And any color you want!
NOTE:
Due to board length this will NOT fit in a front loading NES unless you are using a replacement connector like the Blinking Light Win, I will be doing a more compact version with less working area that will fit, but this one will not. This project does not require any parts, simply upload the Gerbers.zip file in the releases section to your preferred board house website and order PCBs with the recommended specs.

Questions
How big is the Cart Devboard PCB?
It measures 99 × 136.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Cart Devboard use?
40 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 Cart Devboard KiCad files?
From the Redherring32/NES-ProtoCart repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Board Files/Cart-Devboard.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Cart Devboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Redherring32 before reusing the design.
