Add the runrom crate and the vnf library

2026-08-17T21:06:23Z

The vnf library supports the runrom crate and they both combined enable users to "run" a ROM file. This is basically an emulator, but with two key differences: 1. It is to be run programatically. That is, you are not expected to play games with this, but to run code by steps, start at a given address, run a function, etc. 2. It is headless: there are no graphics displayed on screen, nor sound being delivered. Thus, the target for both these things are developers, not players. This way developers can validate code paths without needing a full blown emulator. You can write tests with this and be able to run some checks as part of your testing infrastructure.

readrom: implement the -d/--disassemble option

2026-07-15T20:11:50Z

This option can also be coupled with -n/--nasm-directory, and you can then get a human-readable disassembling of any proc or label you might be thinking on. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà

nasm: Error out when using WRAM when not available

2025-08-28T07:00:56Z

This commit introduces the ability to inspect the temptative header before producing the actual output, and with that it checks whether the Working RAM is being advertised or not. If it is not being advertised but the assembler detected memory accesses to that region, then we are in trouble and we should error out. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà

Remove ncount and ngrep

2025-08-27T21:40:46Z

These were theoretical tools that could be provided, but I have neither had the time, or their perceived functionality has been moved into other crates. Hence, just remove them. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà

Drop lazy_static dependency

2025-01-22T21:38:33Z

Apparently the standard library had LazyLock which is enough for what I wanted to achieve with lazy_static. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà

Remove dependency on TOML

2025-01-22T15:05:24Z

When I introduced this dependency it looked like a good idea to have a better-looking replacement to cl65's cfg format. That being said, the end result wasn't *much* prettier either, and the end result could be even bigger and equally confusing. Since 5f48de69f46d ("Add support for cfg files") there is quite the framework in order to support regular cl65's cfg files. Hence, this commit takes another approach: let's tune this format to a more compressed and simplified one. This is now the current "nasm cfg" format, and it allowed us to re-use a lot of code while also being more to the point for NES/Famicom development than the original cfg format. With this new format, we can now remove the dependency on TOML and all of the inner dependencies which were quite a lot. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà

Remove the dependency on clap

2025-01-22T14:57:49Z

All three binaries (i.e. readrom, nasm and xa65) used it, and to be honest rolling our own argument parsing was actually pretty easy to achieve. This frees us from a big dependency and it also frees us from inner dependencies such as 'clap_derive' which prevented us from being able to build binaries purely statically. As a side effect, we can now display help/version messages which are more like I'm used to, and certain checks can be moved in the parsing directly instead of having to be done later. As a cherry on top, there is some type masturbation that gets removed along the way. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà

Remove dependency to the rand crate

2025-01-22T14:55:25Z

This dependency was easily avoidable and it brought with it a lot of inner dependencies of its own, most notably 'zerocopy-derive', which forbid us to compile the affected programs purely statically. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà

Remove anyhow from xa65 and readrom

2025-01-10T20:55:13Z

Following in the footsteps of c20c991dded8 ("Make errors from nasm itself more cohesive"), 'anyhow' might provide an easy framework, but it lends towards a less cohesive experience. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà
