Test ROMs

A test ROM is a program designed specifically to test whether the platform that the program is running on is working correctly. A test ROM can be used to test the accuracy of an emulator, as well as compare the behavior of different hardware revisions.

All tests were executed in each emulator's DMG mode, except the CGB sound test, which was executed in both DMG and CGB modes.
Real hardware (using a GB flash card)
Note : none of these tests were conducted on a DMG ; contributions are welcome !
