Questions
How big is the Gameboy PCB?
It measures 85 × 120 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.58 mm thick.
What parts does the Gameboy use?
134 parts, built around the RP2350A, TPS62160DGKR, W25Q128JVSIQ and TP4056-42-ESOP8. 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 Gameboy KiCad files?
From the MeesCode/gameboy-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is gameboy.kicad_pcb and its schematic audio.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Gameboy design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MeesCode before reusing the design.
