cartreader.zip is the main PCB, if you order it from JLCPCB you usually get a coupon displayed during the checkout for buying parts from lcsc.com. Default settings are fine, just select the color you prefer and off you go. If this is your first order from JLCPCB you should only pay $2 for 5 PCBs.

sms_adapter.zip is an add-on for reading Sega Master System carts. You can order a 2.54mm 50pin SMS slot here. The adapter is based on the design by Raphnet. For use with the Cart Reader ignore the SMD footprints on the PCB, the adapter does not need any components. I only bridged R5 to connect the reset line, although I'm not sure if this is even needed.

For Oshpark you need to rename filename.GML to filename.GKO or it won't find the board outline. Oshpark is great for ordering the smaller PCBs but very expensive for larger boards.
