Credits to everyone involved in the making of tww-gz, this includes PK_Slam, CGF95, Glubbers_, TakaRikka, Luzagar, Macrepeh, and EJ125.
Taka deserves a special congratulations for the work done, providing us with the entire framework ported over from Twilight Princess' Practice Rom. Without Taka's help, this project would likely have never gotten off the ground.
And special thanks to TrogWW, for the work he's done previously on earlier renditions of the practice rom, and for all the work he's done for the Wind Waker community.
Thank you to the teams behind the Romhack Compiler and DevKitPro, without them this would not be nearly as readily possible as it is.
Thank you to the TPGZ dev team, who's work we were graciously allowed to use for the base of our own practice rom.
And finally, thank you to the Wind Waker community being so awesome.
