Flashing:

Flashing has only been tested with a GBxCart, flashing both 1MB sections requires this custom software, which is a modified version of InsideGadget's 2x2MB MBC3 software, or FlashGBX v3.2 and above.

Questions

How big is the MAC GBD Flashcart PCB?

It measures 51 × 70 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.8 mm thick.

What parts does the MAC GBD Flashcart use?

26 parts, built around the AM29F016D, FM28V100-TG, RT9013-33GB and B9B-ZR-SM4-TF. 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 MAC GBD Flashcart KiCad files?

From the HDR/Gameboy-Camera-Flashcart repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/MAC-GBD-Flashcart/MAC-GBD-Flashcart.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/MAC-GBD-Flashcart/MAC-GBD-Flashcart.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MAC GBD Flashcart design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask HDR before reusing the design.
