EXPLANATION
_____________________
Alright so here's the thing. Distributing ROMS publicly is a legal grey area.
So the workaround for this is instead of distributing a ROM, I distribute a patch.
You have to find an unmodified Earthbound Rom yourself. 
The following are instructions on how to get the rom and apply the Girthbound patch. As well as Snes9x set up.

INSTALLATION
_____________________
1: Search online for an Earthbound ROM and download it yourself
	- Be careful of what sites you visit!
	- Avoid .exe files!
	- You want something like "Earthbound (U).smc"

2: Once you got the ROM, let's apply the patch!
	- Copy paste your Earthbound rom and rename it to Girthbound (Very important, trust me)
	- Open Flips
	- Click "Apply Patch"
	- Select "Girthbound.flips"
	- Select "Girthbound.smc"
	- Done!

3: Open your rom in Snes9x!
	- In the Snes9x Folder open "snes9x-64"
		- if it doesn't work on your computer, just look up SNES emulators
	- Under "Input" --> "Input configuration" is how you set your controls
		- On the top left there's a drop down menu that says "Joypad #1"
		- Select "Joypad #1 Turbo" to customize turbo buttons!
		- Setting "A" on Joypad Turbo means that holding that button will press A a million times a second. 
			- It's super useful for skipping dialogue!
	- "Input" --> "Customize Hotkeys" for more options. I recommend Save States! It's basically quicksaving!
	- If you have any sound or video issues you can tweak them in "sound" and "video."
		- Hopefully its simple to follow!

4: Open Girthbound.smc and enjoy the game!

UPDATING
_____________________
1: Double check you still have a copy of the regular Earthbound rom
	- Get it again if you no longer have it.

2: Delete the rom that contains the Girthbound mod.

3: Copy the base rom again. Apply the latest patch to the copy.
	- Copy paste your Earthbound rom again and rename it to Girthbound (Very important, trust me)
	- Open Flips
	- Click "Apply Patch"
	- Select "Girthbound.flips"
	- Select "Girthbound.smc"
	- Done!

4: If you are using the SNES9x emulator that came with this mod, it should carry the save data
   of the rom in a seperate folder. This save will carry over if the name of the rom is the
   same as the name of the save data. This is why I instruct you to rename the earthbound rom
   into "girthbound"
