1 Game with save / SRAM

Components needed:
● 2x 1k resistors
● 2x 1N4148 signal diodes
● 2x 0.1uf ceramic cap
● 1x 22uf electrolytic cap
● 2x 74HC257, SMD SOIC Package
● 1x 2N2222 NPN transistor, TO-92 Package
● 1x 74LS139 OR 74HC139, DIP Package
● 1x 2032 battery with solder tabs, most 2032 holders are supported but all don't fit
height wise, the clearance in the snes cart shells is only 6mm, can also be mounted
on the back of the board.
● 1x SRAM 6264, 64k/8KB 8bit wide 5volt, both wide and slim packages are supported
● 1x 12F629 SOIC pre-programmed with supercic key code, this is for bypassing the
lockout feature in unmodified consoles (retron5 and other clone consoles doesn't
care) Code found here https://sd2snes.de/blog/cool-stuff/supercic
● 1x 27C322 preprogrammed with a rom, make sure to remove any added header.

Solder all the passives and set the jumper on the middle of the board as indicated
Components in lowest profile order, makes soldering easier:
1 2x 74HC257
2 R1, R2, D1, D2
3 12F629, Super CiC Key
4 C1, C3
5 Q1, C2 (Make sure to solder in the correct orientation)
6 Battery, SRAM

Snes games are either HiROM or LoROM
Solder the preprogrammed ROM chip and the 74LS139/74HC139 chip accordingly

HiROM with save

LoROM with save

3 Notes on using 27c160 eprom
Note that the chip needs to be programmed in 16bit mode, the 257 chips are still in use.

Just build as normal but before placing the ROM chip (27C160) bend leg 32 and fit it to the
marked holes, LoROM or HiROM accordingly

HiROM, bend leg out


LoROM, bend leg in

LoROM configuration, leg bent in HiROM configuration, leg bent out
