Is it a bad idea to buy a physical copy of a ROM hack (specifically Prism)? I don't mind spending the money, and playing the game on my gameboy would feel a lot better than playing it on an emulator, but I'm not sure what kind of technological complications playing it on a cartridge would cause. I know the battery will run dry after 5-10 years and I won't be able to save anymore, but that's such a long way away that it doesn't bother me much. Is there any other reason to just stick to the emulated version?

What? Who the hell does that? I mean, I know you said you don't mind spending, but still

Just get a flashcart.

Yeah, I know it's odd. Just a preference thing

Good idea, I guess that would avoid the battery issue. My knowledge of hacking stuff is suuuper limited so I don't think I could make my own, but I'll see if anyone is selling Prism on a flashcart

...So you could play it on actual hardware? It's kind of fun on, you know, a portable console. Kind of why portable consoles were popular in the first place.

A lot of rom hacks that were stuck on carts don't save properly (GBA ones at least, I'm not sure about GBC ones but I assume it's the same) so you'd have to beat the game in one sitting. Your best bet is trying to track down a DS flashcart since you can run GBC games on them or just hacking your 3DS and injecting the rom into a GBC game that already exists. It's not the same but a quick google search for GBC flashcarts shows that they're pretty pricey.
