Important: This is still a work in progress and PCB files might contain errors.

The Open Source Cart Reader consists out of a main PCB that connects an Arduino Mega to different cartridge slot adapters.

Tested systems so far:

• GB(C)
• GBA
• N64
• SNES
• Master System
• Mega Drive

To order a PCB you need to download the zipped gerber files and upload them to a PCB manufacturer. You don't have to change any of the settings but you can select a color you like.

More info:

• Needed Parts
• Build Guide

You can view the schematic and the PCB files using a free and open source programm called KiCad 6.0.
To design your own adapters you can follow this tutorial
