ChipAight

A minimal Chip8 emulator in C

Chip-8 Reference: http://devernay.free.fr/hacks/chip8/C8TECH10.HTM

Building

Will probably port this to windows at some point, only needs some tweaking in the Makefile.

Requires SDL2 to be available (uses sdl2-config for building)

You might have to change the compiler path for your specific system.

To build the emulator run

make build

To run you can then use

./emulator <CH8 Bytecode File>

or to print the help menu:

./emulator -h

If a file is not specified a default test file will be used

TODO:

• Documentation (lmao)
• Proper logging
• More args
• Make keys more responsive, current system is terrible
• Fix the input mapping
• Disassembler / Assembler Tools
• Add a proper display
• Properly have SDL2 render at 60fps
• Cmdline arguments
• Fix timers to tick at 60hz
• Drawing to display
• Keyboard inputs
