   - A custom printed circuit board (PCB) designed by [@johnedgarpark](https://twitter.com/johnedgarpark). (requires soldering) Up to two NES controller ports can be added to this PCB. Can also be used with a USB gamecontroller. You can 3d print your own NES-like case for the PCB. The Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 is not suitable for this PCB because of the SP/CE connector on back of the board
 
   - An additional PCB design for Waveshare RP2040 & RP2350 Zero including case design by DynaMight1124 based around cheaper but harder to solder components for those that fancy a bigger challenge. It also allows the design to be smaller.

 > [!NOTE]
 >  Soldering skills are required. Make sure you solder all the connections from the Pico onto the PCB. This version requires good soldering skills especially for the HDMI portion, a good amount of flux and a fine tip will be required, additional solder can be wicked away with solder wick. I recommend starting with the resistor arrays first, then the HDMI port, after that either Pico or MicroSD adaptor, lastly the NES Ports, which can be hard to push into the PCB.

+
+Based around the WaveShare RP2350 USB A board along with a PCB, which creates a micro PicoNES with 1 player controls via USB. Theres a full guide here: https://www.instructables.com/PicoNES-RaspberryPi-Pico-Based-NES-Emulator/
+
+Several companies can make these PCBs for you. PCBWay or JLCPCB are two good options.
+
+I personally recommend [PCBWay](https://www.pcbway.com/). The boards I ordered from them are of excellent quality. They have also a very short lead time. Boards I ordered on Monday arrived from China to my home in the Netherlands on Friday of the same week.
