Questions

How big is the Gb flashcart PCB?

It measures 51 × 60.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Gb flashcart use?

17 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-AU and 74HC595. 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 Gb flashcart KiCad files?

From the karstx/gbfc repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is cad/gb-flashcart.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Gb flashcart design in my own project?

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