A recreation of the DMG-DECN-02 Game Boy cartridge PCB for board repairs and restorations.
====================================================================
This is intended as a replacement PCB for original Game Boy games that use the DMG-DECN-02 board design.
It may be applicable for games using the DMG-DECN-10 design, as they visually look the same, but this claim is untested at this time. THIS IS NOT INTENDED FOR REPRODUCTION CARTRIDGES. The design is effectively identical to the original and requires you to use original parts from another board.
Design order details:
- DESIGNS MUST BE ORDERED IN 'ENIG'. DO NOT ORDER IN 'HASL'! (I know. It can be expensive (ಥ﹏ಥ) )
- Two layers
- 0.8 mm Thickness
- Edge Connector = Yes (Also ENIG), 1U
You can either order directly from PCBWay through my link: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/DMG_DECN_02_Game_Boy_Replacement_PCB_b1a722f7.html OR you can nab the Gerber files above and buy from a different manufacturer.
Games I've seen use this design are:
- Donkey Kong
- Donkey Kong World
- Metroid II
- Kirby's Dream Land 2
- Super Mario Land 2
You can check for other games here or similar sites: https://gbhwdb.gekkio.fi/cartridges/
Lastly, the following are links to working capacitors and resistors for the board, if needed:

The rest is up to you. Sorry, I'm no expert :)
