Updated PLCC Cart







This time the cartridge is based off of an AMD chip, and also the MBC5 instead of the previous MBC1. I decided to put the plcc socket right where the rom was. The ram IC was swapped from a 64k to a 256K from a Zelda cart. It has the battery retainer from a BleepBloop cart so that the battery can be swapped out. The cartridge can be fully programmed (rom/ram) from a USB cartridge flasher, and the rom can be flashed from a PLCC programmer. I finished it off with a nice green power LED.

SGB CPU in a DMG

based off of another mod by Nex here is my sgb cpu swap into a dmg. It makes boot time much faster, but also makes the gameboy run slightly more reliably. For example, programs like Muddy GB and even lsdj run smoother.
