Versa64Cart is designed to be a modern easy-to-use cartridge development board for Commodore 64 and Commodore 128 hobbyists and hackers. The versatile design of the PCB allows for flexible implementation of various cartridge types. Whether it’s a simple cartridge backup of an 8k game or a switchable multi-program diagnostic cartridge, Versa64Cart has you covered.
Supported EPROMS are: 27C64 (8k), 27C128 (16k), 27C256 (32k), 27C512 (64k).Please see the documentation for more information.
I have put the rev 1.1 in a separate folder in case someone wants to use the kicad files as a template.Rev. 1.2 was designed by Sven Petersen in eagle. It is a complete redrawn schematic and layout.

KiCad Plot PCBs. The first step towards using KiCad to Mill PCBs is generating Gerber files. This step generates two Gerbers: Copper Layer and the Outline Layer. Based on older terminology, KiCad calls this process “Plot” under the file menu. These are the settings I used to generate my Gerbers. Cartridge PCB type There are two types of PCBs available, the major difference between them is the package of the ROM and the rest has the same specifications and functionality. Type 1 - SOP-32 ROM - PCB mark DMG-KFDN-10.
1.4
- Change: card edge connector with pads like in v1.1
1.3
Kicad Download
- Change: Cartridge enclosure support
- Moved IC socket away from edge
- Moved diode group away from edge
- Bom: Use right angle pin headers. The straight ones are too tall.
1.2
Dmg Cartridge Pcb Kicad Software
- A reset button
- Jumpers accessible on outer edge.*
- Solder jumpers at the top layer
- New documentation
- Designed in Eagle
- Remember to turn off the computer before changing the jumpers.
1.1 and 1.0
