Notes

A bare cartridge board for the ColecoVision - the thing a homebrew author needs to put a finished game into a cartridge somebody can plug in.

Why these boards exist

  • Original cartridges can be gutted and reused, but there are only so many, and destroying old stock to publish new games is a poor trade.
  • A published board design means anyone can have them fabricated, which is what has kept ColecoVision homebrew publishing possible.

Harvey deKleine is among the community's hardware designers - the CV 1.2 replacement ColecoVision board is his. A MegaCart version of this board, for the larger ROMs, is catalogued alongside it.

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