Background
I'd like to make a PCB for the gamecube ports. Measured the pin pitch and connector spacing as best I could. I believe I got within an acceptable margin. Printing the layout onto paper before manufacturing the PCB saves time and money! I've attached a PDF file with my dimensions for anyone that may need to reference it.
Questions
This isn't anything new, but I've seen people that have made their own boards omit these components:

Questions
This isn't anything new, but I've seen people that have made their own boards omit these components:
- What's the component labeled FIL30?
- Do the PTH0808 regulators output stable enough voltages (5V, 3v3) that I can forego what I presume to be filtering passives?
- How much is the data (pin 3) signal integrity affected if the diodes and FIL are unused?
