VSELECT Module Rev 3
Refreshed things a bit to improve clarity, make installation easier, and to reduce costs when manufacturing in bulk. There is no reason to upgrade already installed modules to this revision.

* Changed the module to be installed on the back of the PCB again as it is much easier to install that way.
* Added pad for the STAT pin. There's no real use for this at the moment.
* Changed the layout slightly to allow room for all of the capacitors' legends. This should make things more clear when assembling a module by hand.
* Changed the legends for the jumper pads to use the net name instead of the designator. This should make things easier during installation.
* Added legends to specify 3.3V/5V for the pads that connect to the power switch footprint. Hopefully, this helps keep people from installing the module incorrectly.
* Updated the TPS2113 footprint to the new one that allows using either the TSSOP or SON package. This should give more flexibility regarding part availability.
* Changed part numbers to more readily available parts. This should reduce the cost of machine assembly.

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. 🔧🔨😊
