Hardware > gba cartridge spec

#146281 - dsula - Sat Dec 01, 2007 10:54 pm

Hi, I have quick question. Is there a hardware spec out there for the gba cartridge? I'd like to build my own cartridge but I just can't find any documentation. Could somebody point to some resources. Many thanks.

There is GBATEK, and then there is Reiner Ziegler's page. After reading through those documents (except for anything DS-specific), what questions do you still have?

I'm missing the physical dimensions and tongue contact assignement. I'm also missing the timing, setup/hold times, cycles and so on. Is there a reference layout available? Or how do you guys build those PCB? Trial and error?
