Questions

How big is the Gameboy PCB?

It measures 200 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Gameboy use?

134 parts, built around the STM32F103C8T6, TPS61230ARNSR, CYPD3177-24LQXQT and NXV55UNR. 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 Nalydmerc/gameboy repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Gameboy.kicad_pcb and its schematic CM4.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 Nalydmerc before reusing the design.
