chip8emu

This is an emulator for CHIP-8 written in C++ with the C library SDL for graphics.

CHIP-8 is an interpreted programming language, developed by Joseph Weisbecker. It was initially used on the COSMAC VIP and Telmac 1800 8-bit microcomputers in the mid-1970s. CHIP-8 programs are run on a CHIP-8 virtual machine.

Implementation

Since there are various implementations of the CHIP-8 please read my Wiki documentation for the details.

Developement environment

I'm using Visual Studio as developement environment on Windows 10, but in the future I maybe create a Makefile or CMake if I decide to make it cross-platform.

Remarks

Note that this project is still a work in progress so the clock frequency is still set in the source code and the file path is passed as an argument.
