@mudlord - I do not know of any specific test ROMs. There are demos from the demoscene, but no one has made anything equivalent to Blargg's nice test suites. I ran into a well-made sound test ROM, but that was it.

Currently I am still in the process of writing my ARM interpreter (for experience) and I'm testing stuff by writing small programs for the Raspberry Pi and little GBA test ROMs for the GBA. If I ever get around to it, I may make test suites for the CPU, but I haven't even begun studying how to output things to the LCD yet, and I need to get a flashcart soon to verify hardware behavior (even if it already is well documented, never hurts to see for yourself).

I'd love to make some good test ROMs, but I move slowly. Some people can get such a GBA emulator up in a month. Me, that could happen next year or something :p
