| 10 | +Make sure you order with 1.0mm thickness. Other default options are fine. |

| 12 | +## Credits |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +The schematic is largely based on [the work done by bit 9](https://imgur.com/a/X5qKI). |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +I used [Gekkio KiCAD libs](https://github.com/Gekkio/gekkio-kicad-libs) for a few symbols (cpu, ram, cart connector, link port). The specialized footprints were traced by me using fusion 360, using these [scans by bit 9](https://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/13608/dmg-main-board-schematic-circuit-arduinoboy/) as a reference. |

| 18 | +## Features |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +### Compatibility |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Super DMG CPU can be built using new components only, except for the CPU itself. It is also possible to use components harvested from a DMG. It still requires a link connector from a DMG (if you want the functionality), but I'm working on alternatives / adapter boards. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +### USB Type-C |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +The round power connector is replaced with an USB Type-C port. The port is only connected to a pad on the motherboard, you need to add your own battery charger and/or power regulator if you want to make use of it. This port is optional. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +### Power distribution IC |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +A power distribution IC takes the system load away from the power switch, so the game boy remains fully operational even if the switch is not in an optimal condition. This circuit can be bypassed with a jumper. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +### Internal ProSound |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +The headphone output does not pass through the amplifier, only the volume potentiometer. |

| 71 | +## Assembly |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +- Solder all SMD components on the front side |
| 74 | +- If using a power board with integrated power distribution close ```J5``` and do not install ```U5```, ```C24```, ```C25```, ```R9``` |
| 75 | +- If using an external amplifier, such as [Super DMG JACK](../super-dmg-jack) do not install ```U4```, ```C5-C9```, ```C23``` |
| 76 | +- If you do not need link functionality you can omit ```EXT1```, ```DA1-DA4```, ```R1-R4```, ```C16-C19```, ```D2``` |
| 77 | +- Solder the through hole components and the LCD board connector |
| 78 | +- (Optional) solder the usb connector and cut an opening for the usb port in the front shell using the provided [rudimentary jig](../3d_models/dmg_usbc_jig.stl) |
| 79 | +- The original DC jack hole can be covered with this simple [3d printed plug](../3d_models/dmg_dc_plug.stl) |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +## Notes |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +I have not tested the replacement power switch yet, but the footprint is compatible with an original DMG power switch. |
| 84 | +The replacement power switch will likely need a new plastic part to work properly. |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +If using an original LCD board you need an original *DMG DC CONV* voltage regulator, as acceptable modern replacements that also include the -18v rail *do not exist yet*. |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +This pcb cannot be easily biverted yet. |
