Stop execution if not active in until_address()

2026-08-25T05:36:54Z

Even if the desired thing is to run until the provided address is reached, abort execution as well if the machine stops being active as well. This is a common scenario when running in function mode and the target end address is something passed that.

runrom: add the --until-address option

2026-08-24T14:18:27Z

This allows the user to run execution until a given address is reached. This can, like with the --start option, be coupled with the --nasm option in order to be able to provide an identifier instead of a regular hexadecimal value. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà

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.
