This board is designed to use cart edge connectors with 2.5mm pin pitch, there are two variants sold

What is it?

Its an over engineered board that breaks out all snes signals too standard 2.54mm pitch pinheaders

All signals are labled on both sides.

Why did you make it?

Because I needed it!

Usages

Riser board, gives better clearance for ZIF sockets
Break out signals for sniffing
Simple import adapter, populate A with a 12F629 programmed with SuperCIC code, found here

What makes it special?

Its red ergo, faster

Please note

The ICSP header has not been tested, its probably wrong just saying.

Excellent Board, Very Useful for Devs/Repro Making!

Great board, this thing is a godsend for making repros as it lets you plug in test boards with ZIF sockets so you can quickly and easily test chips to see if they burned correctly or need to be re-burnt.

My only complaint is as follows: On the board the top cart slot is labeled "D" but the instructions for label "D" say "The LOWER cart connector (etc)" and the lower cart connector is labeled "B" and the instructions say "The UPPER cart connector". Obviously these are backwards and you should follow the printed instructions (upper connector label down, etc) - but you might want to rectify this before printing the next batch?

Also the instructions about the ICSP header jumper are unclear. Do I need to bridge that jumper whether or not a CIC chip is populated, or only if CIC is populated (aka Import Adapter mode, which I don't need/want for my purposes).

But again, otherwise a great board that fills a huge need in the repro/dev/import community for a very reasonable price.

Also only other downside is that it doesn't come with the 62-pin cart slot and you have to order those off Aliexpress, which is pretty much the only place you can find them for cheap unless you want to use an OEM SNES slot, but that's kind of overkill...
