Super-Chip8-Emulator

Emulator for (Super)Chip-8 Applications using SDL2 and wxWidgets.

Current status: Chip8+Superchip instruction set fully implemented, tested on Windows+Linux, Beta release binary available for Windows & Linux (both 64-bit).

For getting some roms, refer to e.g. https://github.com/dmatlack/chip8/tree/master/roms or turn on your prefered search engine to tell you where's more ;)

For using the Linux build, make sure you've installed wxwidgets and SDL2 libraries:

For Ubuntu/debian based distros, install dependencies as follows (maybe some others aswell):

To compile it yourself (You can also run it with these):

Just for running the binaries (untested):

• apt install libsdl2-2.0-0 libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5
