Open source reimplementation of Game Boy Color using all new components
This PCB is designed to be a complete ground-up reimplementation of the Game Boy Color. I made it because I had a knockoff GBC clone, but the overall quality was quite bad, and it could use many improvements.
This PCB is designed to fit inside a standard Game Boy Color shell.
To build this project, you'll need everything in the BOM below, as well as this PCB by leggomyfroggo. https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/jb6p7510
You'll also need a GBC power board, the Simple Gameboy Regulator is recommended. The BOM for this is included below as well. https://github.com/Jackv-makes/SGR

Questions
How big is the Opengbc pcb PCB?
It measures 70 × 122.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Opengbc pcb use?
82 parts, built around the LM4853MM, AS6C62256-55STIN, TPS3840DL35DBV and 2SC4081UBTLR. 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 Opengbc pcb KiCad files?
From the whatwareweb/opengbc repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/opengbc-pcb/opengbc-pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/opengbc-pcb/audio.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Opengbc pcb design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask whatwareweb before reusing the design.
