Schematic

Full schematic PDF: GameMan.pdf
How it works
The ESP32-S3 runs Peanut-GB and drives a 3.5" SPI display. ROMs live on an SD card built into the display module. , drag a ROM onto it, unplug, and play.
Battery charging goes through a TP4056. The ESP32 controls the charge enable pin in software so I can add things like charge limiting later. Battery voltage reads through a voltage divider on an ADC pin for a charge percentage estimate.
Controls are nine buttons total. The D-pad is a 5-button cluster with SELECT in the center. A, B, Start, and Menu sit on the right side.

Questions
How big is the GameMan PCB?
It measures 90 × 150 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the GameMan use?
40 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-DEVKITC-1-N8R2, AMS1117-3.3, TP4056-42-ESOP8 and TS-1187A-B-A-B. 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 GameMan KiCad files?
From the Studented0/GameMan repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/GameMan.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/GameMan.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the GameMan design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Studented0 before reusing the design.
