It is crazy; crazy good. I know you don't understand, but a significant amount of work and a steep learning curve goes into designing a PCB of any size, Part libraries and placement of components for convenient mounting. All of that takes many many hours and half the time your libraries are used only once! Even seasoned designers have trouble getting "slots" to come out right from a fab house. Here's the kicker though, a 1" square from OSHpark costs $5. Not only did he design a board, spend $5 on the board and spend the time to hand place what looks to be 0603 resistors, but he is doing that for the difference after cost for parts. Get it? His profit margin is hardly over 30%.

Jazz is right. That board is worth it man. It has taken all the fuss out of adding the mod and clearly has all data lines labels for easy assembly. Plus, it looks like theres some handy mounting holes for screwing to the plastic enclosure to make a secure connection. Connectors with high traffic like cart slots and link cables greatly benefit from these type of reinforcements. Sure you can hot-snot the connector in there with glue or epoxy but who whats to muck around with that?

you could drop $30 and change for a Super Gameboy 2. Go for this drop in, or try you luck with this
