There is not. The ROM contains hardware specific elements that can not be tested on a virtual device.

That makes sense. Wouldn't work unless the emulator was a full virtual machine. *sigh* Guess it's burning to test.

Can't make a "full virtual machine" for hardware. There's nothing like the real thing.
