I know this might be a long shot but I'm wondering if anyone knows the best place for custom PCBs?
Specifically I'm looking for a place that is able to manufacture https://github.com/DiscoStarslayer/disco-cart -- a flashcart for a 22 year old obscure game console.
I don't really understand anything about how this works so any recommendations are welcome.

@apex This should be well within the capabilities of PCBWay, and since it's in KiCAD there's a plugin available that can put together the file package you need.

I'm down to help with this directly if you want! This looks not far off of the kind of orders I frequently put in for GameTank stuff.

@apex I pulled the repository and added an "MPN" column that PCBWay looks to for part numbers, which they can source on your behalf.

You should be able to drag this file into their quote tool for both a PCB and assembly quote. https://github.com/clydeshaffer/disco-cart/blob/master/cartridge/cartridge.kicad_pcb.zip

@clyde
Oh that's awesome and a huge help, thank you so much for doing that! I shall be placing the order shortly.

Side note, I noticed you got Bad Apple playing on your GameTank -- nice! The reason I need this flashcart is actually because I made Bad Apple for the V.Smile and want to test it on real hardware.
