I've noticed that a lot of people mention a particular game to verify that a particular feature of their emulator is working.
Is there a list or checklist for this anywhere?
I am thinking each mapper has a particular rom that works best at excercising all that mapper's features, but many roms might only use a subset of a mapper's capabilities.
Also, is there is a particular order people tend to test/develop against?
For example, my emulator is in its infancy and doesnt even have sprite support written, but thankfully I was able to run nestest to hammer out all the bugs in my CPU.
I imagine I next one I will tackle is Blargg's Official_6502_test (although to get that one, I will need basic scrolling and MMC1 support)
PS: Writing and working on this emulator is turning out to be a lot of fun.
Thanks,
Al
