fix(memory): return the Game Pak address pattern beyond the ROM chip
CPU and DMA reads past the supplied image returned Unmapped and stopped the machine; a second game's boot code reads 0x09fe20f8 past a 16 MiB image. The Game Pak shares data lines with the low address lines, so where no chip drives the bus a read returns the halfword address, (A >> 1) & 0xffff, per lane (GBATEK; mGBA uses the same pattern). The chip is the image size rounded up to a power of two. Bytes between a trimmed image's end and that boundary are unknown and stay diagnostic, as do host reads and instruction fetches. Two truncation fixtures move into that gap. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HhfHfHEuzv2AUTd6erW1gU

Host inspection and instruction fetches remain strict. Other unmapped reads return errors.
|

CPU and DMA writes to unused I/O addresses are ignored, as on hardware; host writes there stay strict.

The unmodeled internal memory control register at `0x04xx0800` and all unused I/O reads remain diagnostics.
|

Reads beyond the supplied cartridge bytes also return errors.
|

CPU and DMA reads beyond the power-of-two ROM chip return the Game Pak halfword-address pattern; reads inside a trimmed image's chip, host reads, and instruction fetches past the image return errors.

Direct memory-bus halfword and word accesses require alignment.
|
||||
CPU load/store instructions apply ARM7TDMI alignment and rotation rules before accessing the bus.
|
||||
CPU and DMA writes to the `0x08`–`0x0c` ROM windows are ignored; the `0x0d` window stays diagnostic until EEPROM exists. Explicitly selected cartridge GPIO and supported Flash command writes are separate from ROM storage.
