The ROM:

If you buy Radio Ghosts on Itch, you are purchasing the ROM. You will have to run the ROM in your own Game Boy emulator or on real hardware using a flash cart. If you are interested in playing the game with no setup on your end, please purchase the Steam version, which comes in a ready-to-play package.

Please do not redistribute the ROM in any form, or you might turn into a radio ghost yourself. Don't say I didn't warn you.
