• Attention: You need to wear safety glasses during this build.
• Flashing the Arduino
• Info: Once you removed the SMD fuse from the Arduino it will no longer turn on on its own and from there on will need the main PCB with a cartridge slot adapter PCB attached to receive power. So it's best to flash it at least once before you de-solder the fuse.
• LCD module
• Attention: It's important that you use exactly this LCD module since there are many similar looking modules that are however build differently.
• Arduino compatible Mega 2560 Pro (embed)
• Attention: After this modification the Arduino will only work together with the Cart Reader and not on its own anymore.
• Battery module
• Attention: Wait with inserting the battery into the battery module until you have completely assembled the Cart Reader. Beware of the polarity!
• Clock generator
• Main board
• Attention: Make sure you align the 1x7 female pin header for the clock generator correctly, the leftmost pad labeled "3V BAT" does not get connected. Also don't use an 1x8 pin header instead of the 1x7 since eventually you will plug the clock generator in the wrong way by accident which will result in the clock generator to be dead.
• Cart Slot Adapters
• SNES adapter
• N64 adapter
• GBx adapter
• Final assembly
• Warning: Only use a high-quality battery with integrated protection circuit you bought from a reliable vendor. Check for short-circuits in your soldering work before inserting the battery. Never insert the battery into the holder the wrong way. Never charge the battery without supervision.
• simple 3D printed frame (optional)
• Info: This is the top side that points up.
• Attention: You have to solder the pin headers at an angle.
