C S 429H Computer Architecture's final project by David Li, Yifan Ma, Yu Lim, Wen Chen.
- As of right now, the program can only be run on a Windows machine with g++ and SDL installed.
- The reason for this is because we only got SDL working on Windows as of right now.
- To run our project, compile and run with the command
make;.//main. - You should see the sprite table of the NES game Donkey Kong, which is as far as we got for the graphics by Tuesday night.
- On the other hand, the NES CPU (based on the MOS Technology 6502) and instruction set are fully emulated.
- All CPU instructions that ran should print in the console as a way to visualize the program running.

- This project is built off of javidx9 (OneLoneCoder)'s NES emulator tutorial.
- We followed his tutorial and used his template for the skeletal code structure.
- https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/Nesdev_Wiki
- The Nesdev Wiki provided the table for the CPU instruction set.
- The wiki contained majority of the information we needed to implement the CPU, mappers, PPU, and etc.
