GameBoy ROM parser

Build Status Crates.io Version

A parser to get data out of GB ROMs and perform basic validation. It provides a streaming opcode parser as well as high-level types for inspecting the Gameboy ROM's header.

Demonstration

cargo run --bin gb2json --features="serde_json" -- /path/to/rom/data
cargo run --bin gbstats -- /path/to/rom/data

And here's it in use in a real emulator (rusty-boy).

Header logic based on info from the GB CPU Manual.

Opcode parsing logic was created with this opcode table as a reference.

Information from other places is and other places is called out in comments in the relevant files

let rom = gameboy_rom::GameBoyRom::new(rom_buffer.as_slice());
let rom_header = rom.parse_header()?;
