Open Source Cartridge Reader

This project represents a community-driven effort to provide an easy to build and easy to modify cartridge dumper.
Its main purpose is to dump a video game's ROM and save file to an SD card without the need of a PC.

For any questions you can use the Discussions and/or Issues section here on Github or visit the accompanying thread in the Arduino Forum, where you can reach most of the devs directly.

Also be sure to check the guides in the Wiki too.

Happy making. 🔧🔨😊

Questions

How big is the Main pcb hw5 PCB?

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

What parts does the Main pcb hw5 use?

33 parts, built around the TPS2113PW. 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 Main pcb hw5 KiCad files?

From the tolihub/cartreader repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/main_pcb_hw5/main_pcb_hw5.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/cic_adapter/D411_F411_adapter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Main pcb hw5 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).
