CHIP-8 Emulator

My take on building a CHIP-8 emulator.

Installation

Requirements

You will need a C compiler, and CMake to build the project.

First create the build folder and generate the build files:

mkdir build
cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Then build the executable:

cmake --build build

Finally, install the binary together with some sample roms:

cmake --install build --prefix out

The binary file will be located at out/bin/chip8.

Usage

You will need to find some CHIP-8 roms on the internet, but you can also test it with the roms that are installed together with the binary. For example, you can invoke the executable like so:

./out/bin/chip8 ./out/roms/IBM_Logo.ch8
