This label looks really nice, but everyone should know that the game was not designed to be played on actual hardware. This game was made using a lot of Hyrule Magic, which is known for its buggy nature. The rom is what we call unclean. It reacts the best only in an emulator for PC. Can also work on PSP emulator, but not on DS or Wii emulators (false displays etc) or actual hardware.

A cartush with the label box... Such a product requires material and can only be soled. This involves money, which becomes a problem. The programing is still owned by Nintendo (original rom) and the changes (ips file) are owned by the authors of the hack.

The authors of Goddess of Wisdom support only freeware IPS files and screenshots of the game to be distributed publicly. We DONT support already patched roms on the internet or selling of the SNES cartushes (despite the fact that they look good and despite the fact that seeing a price on the label gives us a feeling that our work on the hack is actually worth something).

So far, I've had NO PROBLEMS with playing this hack on real hardware via SNES Power Pak Flash Cart. Not to say there isn't any problems, as I'm only about half way through. But so far, so good.

I'm also sure by now that you know this hack is being sold over at gamereproductions.com. Phil, the owner of that site is a good friend of mine, and lives close by. I've bought many reproduction carts from him over the years before I learned to make my own and most other ROM hackers are ok with "their work" being sold on an actual SNES cart. Considering the amount of time and materials needed for making SNES repros, his prices are fair.

Donor carts are needed (Mostly old sports games will work) EPROM chips, ink for labels, blah blah blah. Over time, those materials get costly. My point is that it really should be up to the buyer to decide if they want to fork over cash for reproduction games. I've made Super Metroid repros for several users here... (You know who you are

In my oppinion it is like on a webpage. Ips file are allowed, but rom files are not. One of the official Nintendo related sites wont even allow screenshots of a modified games to be posted. Since Nintendo holds all the rights for their games, the authors of Goddess of Wisdom can support only the use of IPS files, nothing else. Our work is in this file only (and it is freeware). Any other action must be at ones own risk.
