Actually, you can run CC like any other ROM or even copy it onto a cartridge and play it on real hardware, no patching required.
I have dumped some 66 hours on it on my the GameBoy emulator on my PS3 and works flawlessly.

When leaves have fallen.
And skies turned to grey.
The night keeps on closing in on the day.
A nightingale sings his song of farewell.
You better hide from her freezing hell. ~ Ice Queen, Within Temptation.

Well, a Gameboy COMPATIBLE cartridge, yes. Flash Cartridges (so called because it uses flash memory) are a wonderful, wonderful invention for cartridge-based systems that let you load whatever games you want on it, and then have it run on original consoles. EverDrive is by far the most famous brand, but lots of companies (usually in China) make them. I have one for my 3DS, though it can't actually run 3DS games because it has a time bomb designed to brick the thing if I try to use it without custom firmware. Yay.
Speaking of ROMhacks, I'm reminded of a really, REALLY silly project from a few years back. Have you ever heard of the Chinese release of Final Fantasy VII? If you haven't, you are in for a wacky ride, because that's a Famicom game! YES, REALLY! And there does exist a patch to translate it to English, so you can play it in all its glory. And then, when you've done that, there's a ROMHack of that game to transform it into something more closely resembling its PS1 release. Fans. Are. Insane!
