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.
