Notes

A small cartridge board for ColecoVision homebrew - the thing a finished game needs before anybody can plug it in.

Why a mini board

  • Not every homebrew title needs the full 32K a ColecoVision cartridge can hold, let alone the bank-switching a MegaCart board provides.
  • A smaller board is cheaper to have made and easier to fit into a reproduction shell - and the printable shells in this catalogue mean a new game can be a new object entirely.

ColecoVision homebrew publishing depends on boards like this being designed and shared. Harvey deKleine's cartridge PCBs and the MegaCart designs for larger ROMs are catalogued alongside it.

WHAT ROM SIZES THIS BOARD TAKES is the practical question and is not recorded here; the board or its documentation will answer it.
