Overview
OpeN64 is an open-source printed circuit board by cy-888, from the cy-888/OpeN64 repository on GitHub, published under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 158.9 × 126.3 mm with 273 parts on 208 nets, routed with 2,133 tracks and 934 vias.
It is built around the DAN202U and RB501V-40. Its parts include 178 capacitors, 46 resistors, 13 ICs, 7 connectors and 5 diodes. It belongs with the computers and single-board computers boards of this library.

README.mdOpeN64
OpeN64 is an open-source recreation of the N64 motherboard made in KiCAD. This project currently only supports rev 03 of the N64 motherboard, but support for more revisions may be added in the future if demand exists.
Features
- Recreated N64 motherboard layout in KiCAD
- Designed for preservation, research, hardware mods, and accessibility
- Made to support original Nintendo 64 hardware
- Includes a compendium documenting every electrical connection made by the motherboard made in GIMP
Goals
- Preserve legacy hardware design knowledge
- Enable and inspire repair and modification of N64 hardware
- Provide fully open hardware reference design and extensive documentation to interested parties

Assembly
Since OpeN64 uses original N64 hardware, the only items needed for assembly are an unpopulated OpeN64 board, and an 03 revision of the Nintendo 64 motherboard. Other motherboard revisions may work, but none other than rev 03 have been tested, so use as your own risk!
Compendium
Part of the OpeN64 project is a compendium - that is: a clear visual documentation of the N64 motherboard.
The Compendium can be found on the BitBuilt forums here

Questions
How big is the OpeN64 PCB?
It measures 158.9 × 126.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the OpeN64 use?
273 parts, built around the DAN202U and RB501V-40. 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 OpeN64 KiCad files?
From the cy-888/OpeN64 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is OpeN64/OpeN64.kicad_pcb and its schematic OpeN64/OpeN64.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the OpeN64 design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
