My implementation of a Chip-8 interpreter written in Rust with an egui interface for debugging and rendering.
To run it, you can use cargo run like: cargo run roms/<rom> or you can cargo build --release to get a full binary and run it like ./target/release/rip-8 roms/<rom>.
It's only tested to work on Linux and Apple Silicon MacOS systems but I'm working on a Windows implementation if any changes are needed, I have no Mac to test a mac version but feel free to open up an issue if you try using this (for whatever reason) and it doesn't work. I now have an Apple silicon Mac that I've tested it on! A few changes were required.
Development from hereon out will continue on MacOS with Apple silicon. I will do my best to check Linux versions of this as well and I still have plans to get it working with Windows.
Thank you for taking a look at the first of hopefully many projects of mine in this space.
Oh it's also tailored to 4k screens change the DPI scaling const from 2 to 1.
- refactor the window and SDL2 canvas rendering methods
- fix MacOS flickering bugs
- fix MacOS framerate calculation
- more advanced menu and window sizing?
- handle not having a rom input (default start, loading rom functionality?)
- fix the fps inconsistency issues
- more advanced cli arguments for debug mode
- enabling the noise feature
- dpi scaling issues on macos
- get display waiting working for true accuracy
