RTO-Cart

Redesigned T-Cart - Multicart for Mattel Intellivision based on Teensy 4.1 It work with bin file loaded on sdcard, with ram/rom mapping from .cfg files with same name in same folder. If found the [macro] section in the .cfg files, it ask for using the Cheat's pokes (middle button) or ignore them (other button). File navigation is done with by buttons, while playing button 1 resets the console, button 3 resets the Cart.

You probably don't need mounting the resistor near the edge for reset the console, try yourself and be sure to have a good bipolar cap at reset line in your console! ;)

Questions

How big is the RTO Cart PCB?

It measures 58.2 × 114.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RTO Cart use?

17 parts, built around the 74LS245SC and TEENSY 4.1. 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 RTO Cart KiCad files?

From the aotta/RTO-Cart repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is old ver/Kicad/RTO_cart.kicad_pcb and its schematic Kicad/RTO_cart.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RTO Cart 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).
