Overview
Romprg megadrive cart is an open-source printed circuit board by tehKaiN, from the tehKaiN/ROMprg repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 99.1 × 53.3 mm with 3 parts on 96 nets, routed with 476 tracks and 2 vias.
It belongs with the interfaces and adapters boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.
README
README.mdROMprg - Universal ROM/Flash programmer
This is a project of budget-friendly ROM/flash chip programmer. It programs only the chips you need by using dedicated shields. Also it can be used to flash certain devices, e.g. game cartridges.
The project is based on Arduino Mega and can be used on any compatible board.
Supported chips / devices
- Sega Megadrive / Genesis - dump any cartridge, flash programmable carts from smdRomCart project
More chips and devices will be added later.
Usage
- Plug in chip/device into slot
- Connect ROMprg to computer of your choice
- Execute commands from
romprgor any other compatible app - Disconnect ROMprg from your computer
- Remove chip/device from slot
How-to for romprg can be accessed by running it without additional parameters
Megadrive shield examples
- Dump cartridge using auto name and auto size:
romprg COM4 -c megadrive -dd -an - Dump cartridge using specified name and size:
romprg COM4 -c megadrive -dd -n name.bin -s 512k - Clear programmable cartidge:
romprg COM4 -c megadrive -dc - Burn data to cartridge from selected file:
romprg COM4 -c megadrive -db -n file.bin

Questions
How big is the Romprg megadrive cart PCB?
It measures 99.1 × 53.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Romprg megadrive cart use?
3 parts. 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 Romprg megadrive cart KiCad files?
From the tehKaiN/ROMprg repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/romprg_megadrive_cart/romprg_megadrive_cart.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Romprg megadrive cart design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
