So I guess that's yet another reason to avoid 3rd-party repro karts. So please, don't buy a real cartridge you're just giving money to a scammer and receiving a broken product. Someone even tried to flash a hardcopy Prophet's Guile cartridge and play it, and found that things were even more broken on a real SNES, including audio glitches. (Famously, we ran into this problem with the Chrono Trigger Retranslation patch by KWhazit if you climb the ladder on the Blackbird to reach the wing, the game goes to a black screen.) There is no conceivable way that these physical cartridges are playable. It also creates issues in some emulators, as a request to load a map would just lead to a black screen at some point. This unfortunately breaks the game at one point or another on a real console. Crimson Echoes and Prophet's Guile both used a hack to expand the ROM's memory to allow the addition of new content (from 4 MB to 6 MB). QuoteIf there's anything else, I would just caution anyone from buying Crimson Echoes in any form, especially on a physical cartridge.

So there's an interesting interview regarding CT:CE and this part in particular stuck out for me:
