ROMulus and Remus

Hello everyone! Let’s dive in so I can fool around with my Raspberry Pi 4 running on NixOS before I go to bed!

There’s a reasone Remus didn’t lead ROMe

As I mentioned before, I’ve been working on unittests for the ROM side of the ROM mudule as opposed
to the save side. So far, I’ve completed 2 unittests, both of which will be eclipsed by the one I am
currently writing. Right now, I’m working on one big master test to check the success and failure of
every possible combination mbcs and ram sizes. In its current trajectory, it’ll only tests mbcs that
Riggurly supports alongisde all RAM sizes, but I’ll probably have it iterate over every possible byte
that could be an mbc, real or not, just for efficiency sake, since all the machinery is/will be there
to test them. The reason I am logging four hours is because these tests take a lot more mental acrobatics
to think about and I’ve messed with the structure of the latest test quite a bit, though I’ve found
something I like now.

After writing this test and the tests for short ROMs and bad checksums, I’ll release to crates.io,
make the Codeberg release, finish the Homebrew tap, and ship!

Earlier today, I was listening to Jamie Paige while I was historianing, but while I was programming
on my couch, I was too lazy to grab my headphones — or pee for that matter, I really need to pee —
for the entire time, so I just watched Doctor X (the Korean one) with my dad, fire show btw, would
highly recommend, had my dying with laughter at times. Y’all should make sure to keep listening to
Jamie Paige, as that is how you make programmer friends IRL — half the people I know who listen to
her music are also programmers, including @ElffawIThink, the second-to-third-best programmer I know
irl. Anyway, hopefully I can pee AND work on my NixOS rice before I go to bed.
