Hey everyone,
I've been planning to do this for some time; I want to do my own version of the Backwood Scotty board.
For anyone not familiar with the concept, it's function is to convert an original GBC game into a rewritable cartridge. It'll still require a flasher.

The original pinouts and wiring is taken from here: http://reinerziegler.de/readplus.htm#32MBit home
Ziegler's original project needs lots of wiring, this board here only requires 4.

The board was shown on 8bc somewhere in 2009 and it looked like this:

What do you think?

I wonder how well those vias would survive the router. Especially between different board houses with different quality vias.

it works very well, i'll have a board out in the next couple weeks (a Jazzmarazz routing job, thanks Jazz) which utilizes this same approach.  chopping the vias in half, i mean.

worked great.  there are a couple burrs (spelling?) to clean up, but that was it

(OSHpark did the samples, haven't tried my normal fab house for the bulk run yet, but on a 1.6mm board from oshpark this worked really well)

Well, seems a few of us are all thinking on the same wavelength! I have one of these in my "almost ready to manufacture" folder haha!

Using a QSB too! Ahh we must all be linked telepathically tongue

Whoa, it's been a year already. And what a year! Bumping to see if any of us three (me, Kitsch and DaRko) finished their projects. I didn't. Did they? smile

Btw, a user from www.elotrolado.net (a Spanish gaming forum) made his own version of the project:
