That's really nice for people that backed this with a physical copy! Had I known they were going to do that I wouldn't have ordered the physical copy...
This is why I'm posting this info just to make sure everyone who buys knows that it will be available as a ROM as well.
The dev was very friendly and forthcoming I think clear communication on what people are buying will help people make an informed choice.
If the board does not contain security measures then its would be dumped anyway they might as well sell the ROM.
