In this chapter, we transition from a theoretical CPU to a system capable of loading and preparing a Game Boy game for execution. This is the pivotal moment where your emulator begins to take on a tangible form, moving from abstract concepts to processing actual game data. We’ll implement the crucial functionality of loading a Game Boy ROM file into our Memory Management Unit (MMU) and setting up the initial state of the CPU, mirroring what happens after the Game Boy’s internal boot ROM completes.
