A CHIP-8 emulator in C++
Space Invaders
Pong
CHIP-8 is an interpretted programming language developed by Joseph Weisbecker in the mid 70s and was initally used on the COSMAC VIP and Telmac 1800 8-bit microcomputers to make game programming easier. CHIP-8 programs are run using a CHIP-8 virtual machine.
This is a fairly complete implementation of a CHIP-8 virtual machine however there is currently no sound.
Requires cmake and SDL2:
$ sudo apt-get install cmake libsdl2-dev
Compile:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
Run:
./chip8 <ROM file>
23 (public domain) ROMs are included in the roms directory.
