Flash cartridge for the Pokémon Mini console, built around the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller platform. It includes 16 MB of onboard memory to load and run games, along with a USB-C interface for convenient firmware updates and game transfers.
Whether you're developing, testing, or simply playing, this cartridge offers a reliable and space-efficient solution for getting the most out of your Pokémon Mini.
- Designed for the Pokémon Mini console.
- Powered by the RP2040 dual-core microcontroller.
- 16 MB onboard flash memory for storing games: More than enough to store multiple game backups, thanks to the small size of official titles and homebrew.
- USB-C interface for easy programming and firmware updates.
- Compact and low-profile design optimized for limited space.
- Status and power indicator LEDs.
- Ideal for homebrew development, testing, and game use.
- This project was designed entirely from scratch, but it was inspired by the PM2040 project by zwenergy, who created an adapter for soldering a Waveshare RP2040 Zero, along with software tools for flashing the microcontroller. It intentionally uses the same pinout to ensure compatibility with his software. Many thanks to zwenergy for his excellent work! His code was used as a base and adapted for this cartridge.
