Notes

A cartridge board for Coleco hardware - the thing a finished homebrew game needs before anyone can plug it in.

Why boards matter

  • Games are still being published for the ColecoVision, and each one needs a board and a shell. Gutting original cartridges destroys old stock to make new titles.
  • Several designs are in this catalogue - Harvey deKleine's, PkK's mini board, the MegaCart boards for larger ROMs - along with printable shells to put them in.

What it handles

  • ColecoVision cartridges run from 8K to 32K, built from one to four ROM chips, and anything larger needs bank switching.
