GC2SD-2.0

GC2SD 2.0 Upgrade PCB

Replacement upgrade PCB for GC2SD sold on aliexpress/amazon etc to V2.0 for use on GameCube's Front Memcard Slot B

Based on the SD2SP2 2.0 made by Extrems, Thank you for your hard work!

Important

When using the adapter make sure to have the Latest Version of Swiss, Due to the way Swiss handles it in SLOT A it acts like a normal speed Passive SDGecko, in SLOT B it works in Semi-Passive 2.0 enhanced speed mode.

GC2SD 2.0 BOM

The PCB must be ordered (e.g. from jlcpcb) in 0.8mm thickness with surface finish ENIG at minimum.

Note

R1,D1 are not necessary if you don't want to have LED in your adapter or want to minimize on components.

R1: 0402 470ohm Resistor - Digikey Part# 311-470LRCT-ND (you can use smaller value or larger value depending how bright you want it, 14ohm will be the brightest, I choose 470ohm as its what I had on hand and its not too bright)

Questions

How big is the GC2SD-2.0 PCB?

It measures 32.2 × 42 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the GC2SD-2.0 use?

5 parts, built around the TF-004 and 74AHC1G32GW. 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 GC2SD-2.0 KiCad files?

From the silverstee1/GC2SD-2.0 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Kicad/GC2SD_2.0/GC2SD_2.0.kicad_pcb and its schematic Kicad/GC2SD_2.0/GC2SD_2.0.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the GC2SD-2.0 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Unlicense licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
