Description

Currently, our Makefile names the ROM based on the directory of the repo (the directory the Makefile is in). This means that if someone checks out the repo and renames the directory, then instructions and scripts that specifically reference balatro-gba.gba are no longer correct.

The Makefile needs to be updated to always name the ROM: balatro-gba.gba.

Research direction
Modify the Makefile to hardcode the ROM name as balatro gba.gba instead of using the directory name.
